Col Edwards,s opinion Of Rigny Park


The great event in Maine during the
past. week was the opening of, Rigby
Driving Park, three miles from the city
of Portland. This event had been her.
aided through the papers for some
months, and great excitement regarding
the affair prevailed throughout the
county and adjacent districts. There
are plenty of trotting tracks in Maine,
and one, a.kite- shaped, is located at Old
Orchard Beach. The majority are half
mile rings, and the appointments are
not very elaborate The Rigby track is
new departure 1t is what is termed a
mile regulation; that is, in form, it is
after the old order of mile tracks In
quality, however, it far surpasses any
track of which the writer has any knowl
edge. 1t is laid out on about IS acres
of what was bog land, all of which has
been redeemed , filled in, graded and
drained, save where the track.sis laid
This was left in the original state, and
thousands OF loads@of soil deposited on
the Doggy foundation until the new
ground was two feet deep. One can i'm
agine what track this makes. 1t is a
cushion, soft and yielding at the bottom,
while the surface is firm. A horse can
trot on this track during the course of
his natual life without getting sore. Its
quality for speed may be summed up in a
remark made by a driver when asked
what he thought of it: at is oiled"
The 2.20 class was trotted in 2.16 and
the .. 40 class in 2.21 Ia. Three of Mel
sons get went into the list in one day on
this track. There is nothing equal to
it, save perhaps. Fashion track, at Tren-
ton, where the quality of the soil is the
same.
The total cost, with all the improve
ments, will reach SIS, 900. The grand
stand cost $22, 600. 1t is a model. and the
managers of the New Jersey Agricultural
Society would do we'll to go out to Port
land and take look, not only at the
grand stand, but all the. other arrange
ments as well. The stabling, officers
buildings dining rooms, ticket offices
and Judges stand are all on the me
elaborate SCALE They are commodious
in size and very autiful in construction
The moving and controlling spirit, the
person who conceived, planned and
pushed this magnificent racing establish
rnent to successful issue, is George
Durham, jr., a many times millionaire.
He has been ably assisted by several en-
terprising, progressiv sportsmen, among
them H. T .Farnham and J. F. Barrett,

OCTOBER.
NJ HELEN HUNT JACKSON.

~
o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;
When loud the bumb bee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast
And lanes with srapes are fragrant;
When entians roll their fringes tight,
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fail from satin burrs.
Without a sound of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewlesF shining,
And redder still on old stonewalls
Are leaves of woodbine wining;
When all the wayside things
Their white-wlnged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and oh the
brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sift noiselessly in the hush
OF woods, for winter waiting.
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts,
By twos and twos together
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.
o suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather

London, Nov. 21.-A dispatch to the
Times from Mesheds Persia, brings
further details of the earthquake on
Friday at Kuchan, in the northern
part of the province of Khorassano.
The town was completely destroyed.
The loss of life is immense.
Great crevasses opened in the earth,
through which the water flowed in
torrents.
The Atreck river overhowed its
banks.
The fertile region around the city is
inundated. Large gardens and extern
sive vineyards were swept out of ex-
The people had no chance to save
anything.
The shock was so severe that the
largest houses in the town, including
the residence Of the governor, almost
instantly toppled over, crushing hun
dreds of people to death. The town
had a population of between 10000 and
25, 600. 1t is thought at least 1000 per-
ished.
Many were carried away by the flood
1t is not known yet what damage has
been done in the valley. but it is fear
ed many villages below Kuchan are
destroyed a short time after the dis
turbance the entire water supply OF
the town disappeared.
The people not injured fed, panic
stricken, to the Aladagh mountains
leaving the injured to care for them
selves as best they could.
| The district in which Kuchan is sit
uated was very populous, and it is
| feared that it has everywhere suffered
from earthquake and flood.

THE TARIFF ON LEAD.
A Bitter Fight Will Be Made in Con
gress.
Quite Probable That the Ore Will Be Put
on the Free List by the
Committee.

Washington, Nov. 21.-It is under
stood that one of the items of the
metal schedule to receive an overhaul
ing by the ways and means committee
is that which under the Mckinley law
places a duty of IL cents per pound on
lead ore. The subject has been a point
of contention ever since the present
law went into effect. The tariff rate
as at present fixed was bitterly fought
during the last Congress and it was
for long time doubtful whether the
advocates of the-tariff would succeed
in getting it put in the bill. There was
much stronger lobby in Washington
in it's behalf on both sides than there
has been during this session The
silver mineowners of Nevada, Idaho,
Utah and Colorado made an especial
effort in behalf of the tariff at that
time because of the fact that much
of the silver ore mined in those states
and territories contained a large per-
centage of lead 1t was in their inter
est especially the provision as it now
stands was inserted.
Many owners of smelters, located on
the Mexican border and outside of the
states and territories mentioned op-
posed it, as did also the lead manufac-
turers. But the conditions are now
reversed. The miners are. now seeking
| to prevent, the smelterS and manufac-
turers to procure legislation. 1t would
seem the advocates of repeal of the
present duty feel quite well assured
that the action of Congress will be
! favorable to their cause.

ALL HIS OWN WAY.
Directum Leads the Bay Mare in Every
Heat.

New York, Nov. 21.-Under a lower
ing sky, and amid chill autumn winds,
5000 enthusiastic horsemen at Fleet
wood park saw the famous black stall
lion, Directum. win $4,000 in the match
race from the western bay mare. Alix,
in three straight heats, the last one
being trotted in 2:O8-the fastest mile
ever done in November.
In the first heat they came to the
line with Alix neck in the lead. She
gradually forged to the front in the
furlong mark, she was leading by half
length. Down the back stretch Di-
rectum moved up. For fully a couple
of furlongs they raced like a team.
AS they neared the turn Alix broke
badly and in a twinkle Directum was
half a dozen lengths to the good. AL
though Curry got Alix down again
and she came strong and fresh at the
finish, Directun, without turning a
hair, won by two lengths. Time
2:15s4.
In the second heat, Directum again
had the pole. as in the previous heat,
Alix leading by a good half length all
the way down to the back stretch At
the half-mile post, Alix broke badly
and Directum shot away from her as
if the race was over. AliX came after
him strong and well, but was not able
to make the black wonder extend him
self, and he won the second heat prac-
tically as he pleased by three lengths.
| Time-2:16l4.
| In the third heat, Directum had
everything his own way and trotted
the mile in 2:0S.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-11-22

boarders after the fire was out showed
the following missing Jerry Wrenn,
stone mason, and son; Dan John Kelly,
laborer; Robert Stanley, engineer;
James Hughes, engineer; and Barney
Wilker, stone mason. Five bodies
were taken from the ruins so badly
charred that they could not be iden-
titled.
The bodies of James Hughes and
james P. Miller, laborer, have been
recovered from the ruins. Both were
burned to crisp. This makes seven
recovered.
There is strong suspicion of incen-
diarism.
When the alarm was given the only
exit to the fatal stairway was cut
off and the men on the second and
third floors woke from sound sleep
bewildered by the dense smoke thai
filled the building. They ran through
the rooms, yelling for help, many ap,
pearing at the windows and begging
for assistance.
Some leaped from the windows, while
others climbed out and dropped to the
ground through sheets of flame pour
ing from the lower windows.
Jerry Wrinn, one of the victims, hao
reached the outside of the building
but missing his son Dan, returned tt
get him. He was suffocated in the at
tempt and persisted.

"JAcK THE sLAsHER."
Wild and Woody Tales of His Work in
Washington.

Chicago, Nov 21.-An afternoon pa
per has a Washington special telling of
the doings of a. man or the men
dubbed Jack the Slasher," who has
been going about entering houses, cut
ting up carpets, curtains, pouring lard
in pianos and the like.
The police are utterly at sea. To-
day a newspaper received a letter pur-
porting to come from the miscreant,
declaring that before being captured
the slashers would have done something
to make them memorable. The latter
added not only would the White House
be thoroughly slashed, but that Presi-
dent Cleveland would be slashed be-
fore they got through with their work,
and that all the detectives and guards
that might be put around the White
House would not save him.
1t was stated further that when this
was done they would burn the town.
The letter is credited as a genuine
communication from the 'slasher,"
who is either a. criminal, or an extra
ordinary character or a lunatic.
