pills of Mr.. Fox. Miss Goodwin and Miss

MILE TRACK ASSOCIATION.
The contract to Build the Track Win
Probably Be Awarded Thursday.


The soliciting committee OF the Maine
Mile Track Association have the past
few weeks. mailed 1900 subscription
blanks to those who it was thought
would subscribe for limited amount of
the stock. 1t is learned with regret, that
although stamped envelope was in
closed for a reply, very few to whom the
appeal was. mailed have rendered the
committee the courtesy OF reply. 1t
seems unaccountable to those who have
given this question the most thought and
attention and who feel assured the track
will prove a most lucrative investment,
aside from being of great value to Port
land, that such apathy should prevail.
Liberal subscriptions have been received
from Colonel John E. Thayer, president
of the New England Horse Breeders As
ISOLATION, Colonel William Russell Allen
and many other wealthy horsemen of
Massachusetts,. Only some $4,000 thus
far has been subscribed; 5000 more is
needed before the contracts to clear and
drain the land, construct. track, fences,
stables, grand and judges stands can be
awarded. To complete the track in
time to give races this season a part of
these contracts should be awarded by
April 1st. Have the course in readiness
to give a series Of races July 4th, and
one-half of the cost will return on that
day. Mr.. G, n. Nelson pledged the di-
rectors to bring his string of horses,
some thirty or more, to this track. Mas
sachusetts horsemen have said that they
will bring SO or more of the leading
horses of that state. Let Mr.. Seth Crit
fin proceed to carry out his views, and
the middle ofsJuly will find here congre-
gated all of the celebrated horses Of New
England. tits the opinion of those who
have studied the question most thorough
ly, that this track can be made to pay for
itself this year. Why not, therefore,
take hold and carry the project, which
will prove of SO much value, not only to
the horsemen Of New England, but to
the business interests of Portland, to
completion? The directors met Satur-
day afternoon at the Preble House, to
hear the report Of the soliciting commit
tee. Nothing for the public transpired.
Another meeting will be held Thursday
afternoon, at 230 o'clock, at the same
place, when the contract for the building
of the track will probably be awarded.
This will comprise not ssonly the track,
! Ne eNc IL
outer edge Of the driveway, and the 9TH
er so feet from the inside limit. Work
will be begun as early in April as posi-
BILE under the superintendent of Mr..
Griffin.

American Locomotives and Ships.
American Economist. |

One of the locomotives on the Central of
New Jersey has just pulled a train of four
cars for one mile at rate of ninety-seveu
and ne-third miles per hour. Two miles
were made in seventy-fiye seconds. or at
the rate of ninety-six miles per hour, and
five miles were made in two hundred and
five seconds, or at the rate of eighty-seven
and half miles per hour. All of these
figures are given by the Railroad Gazette
as breaking all previous records. These
records were made by an American iocomo-
tive on an American road. Our English
friends have never yet succeeded in
building so good locomotive or
coming near any Of the speeds re-
corded. The circumstance Is of interest, as
if free traders had had their way, we would

have beer dependent on English-built loco
motives, and their inferior locomotives,
which do not run as many miles per year
as ours or haul as heavy trains and are
more expensive to repair, cost more in the
first instance than American locomotives.
If we were dependent on England for loco
motives il would be harder for us to carry
freight for 40 or so per cent. of the English
rate, as we do, and we would not sell three
or four million dollars worth of iocomo-
,ives to foreigners in a single year.
We build such, good locomotives. and at a
smaller cost than in any other country, and
have our freights carried for less than other
people. because the government has encour-
aged and bountied our railroads, while the
construction of engines and cars has been
protected.

Color OF APPLES.

A brilliant color to apples offered for sale
in market, often helps the sale and aug
ments the price. A fine color generally
accompanies better flavor, if that color is
caused by improved culture, and green
and immature appearance is seen on a
poorly ripened one. A writer in the Lon
don Garden ascribed the fine color to the
soil, besides the direct action of the
sun, with a portion to the wind. Fine
examples are given where the debris
from neighhoring bills has had favor,
able influence, and the denuded hills and
hillsides have lost by it. Here is an instance
where the low lands give the finest fruit on
the best trees. The soils where the giants
of the forest thrive, grow apples to perfec-
ton" remarks this writer; and on accoun,
of the greater value in market of high-col
cred ores, it is well for orchardists and
fruit growers to examine what soils afford
the best colors, and select localities accord.
