of speed producers. Nutwood comes
first, Alcontara second, Robert Nc Gregor
third, Nelson fourth, and they are well
punched in the race for reputation. there
being but difference of four from the
first to the fourth. Nelson's record in
this direction is something for the whole
state to be pleased with, as well as the
dropping of his speed record of 2.1o to
200 at Rigby Park when the track was
two or three seconds slow from mud.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Prospects of General Interest in the New
Falmouth Road-Good Progress Being
Made With the County Bridges.

The county commissioners went to Fal-
mouth Thursday to view the route OF the
proposed road from West Falomuth post
Office to North Falmouth. There was
much interest in tho matter, ana large
body of citizens of Falmouth, Wlndham
and Gray attended the commissioners.
Hons. Mp. Frank of Portland, W. II.
Vinton of Gray and Chas. E. Clifford OF
Falmouth represented the petitioners
The remonstrants and the town OF Fal-
mouth were represented by III. WIS wasey.
If the road is laid out the town of Fail
mouth will have to build it as it would
be wholly within her limits. But the
are residents of Gray, Windham and
Cum berland. The object of the new
road is to avoid the high hill of Black
strap, or Mount Independence, as it is more
elegantly called. The commissioners
adjourned the meeting to Monday the
Both at 10 a. m, at K of P hall, at West
Falmouth.
Yesterday the commissioners went to
Duck Pond to relocate the boundary
lines of the ounty road to the Windham
line. This was petitioned for by the city
council Of Westbrook. * The commits
sioners will re-define the lines.
The work of filling the concrete bottom
in the caisson at Cape Elizabeth bridge
is progressing favorably.
At the Staples point bridge, Mr.. Shan
nahan has one abutment nearly done,
and with good weather will complete the
work in two weeks.
Next Tuesday at 10 o'clock, the county
comm issioners meet the road commits
sioners and seiectmen of Falmouth at
Staples point bridge to make arrange
ments in regard to taking material from
the top of the hills to make the fill
where the. bridge is raised. The bridge
will be six feet higher than the old, and
if is proposed to lower the hills four
feet. This would make change of ten
feet in the grade.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The Rising Generation.

The Rising Generation.
= @The Rising Generation" a farce
comedy by William Gill, is the new piece
with which that extremely droll actor
and thorough Irishman, William Barry,
appeals to the public. Last night Port
land theatre was packed like bees in a.
hive, and the great audience shouted
with laughter at the keen Irish wit as it
dropped from the mouth of the star of
the evening. The plot of the piece was
published innn yesterdays PRESS. AS
Martin McShane, an aqueduct employee,
at first, and later Hon. Martin McShane,
contractor and state senator, Mr.. Barry
has a part that fits him like a glove. The
beauty of his acting is that whatever
may be the exaggerations that ass--play-
wright puts into the character he as
sumes Mr.. Barry is always easy and
nat ural Again it ism t so much what he
says, as how he says it, that drives the
point to repartee home with telling
force 1t doesn't follow that because his
have Irish characters that they conse-
quently interest that race alone. No
person who appreciates wit can fail to
enjoy them.
There are so many features introduced
into the Rising Generations that it is
difficult to select from them those for
special mention. The singing, especially
the quartette and chorus singing was re-
ceived with hearty marks of approval.
The song and dance by the Misses
Butler, Valentine and O'Neil, and
Messrs. Davis, WEIGH and Carroll was
novel and encored. The poker game was
decidedly enjoyed. Mr.. Manning was
very good as Prof. O,Hare and the rest
of the support was equal to their duties.
Tonight the pay will be repeated.
Prof. Carpenter.
All will remember Prof. Carpenter the
king of mesmerists, whose exhibitions
last season proved SO well liked that his
stay at Portland theatre, announced for
week, was continued for fortnight.
The Professor will be at the theatre all
next week, and will doubtless attact the
usual lage audiences.
Notes.
Laura Schirmer's manager, g. J. Whitney,
has bought 1.-THE Algerian" He remem-
bered, perhaps, the singers Eastern ex-
periences and dreamed of a more realistic
second act.
1t is rumored that Ira and Will Stock
bridge will be rendered great benefit
by the citizens of Portland, and that the
entertainments will consist of two nights
of home minstrel performances.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

Mrs. Mahala Lothrop of North Chester
vile had an exciting experience the
other day. She was returning from
Beams Corner with her team and while
descending the Chase hill the colt be-
speed that she was thrown from her
carriage and her leg broken near the
ankle joint. The horse raa about mile
before he was stopped. Mr.. j. G. Webster,
who, lives near where the accident oc-
CURED started to take her home, when
his own horse became manageable and
threw her from the carriage the second
time. After a few moments DELAY
another more comfortable carriage was
obtained and this time she reached home
without further mishaps.

From School Dist. No. II.

EDITOR FREE PRESS The people
of school district No. II, (known as
the Chase district because two
thirds of its inhabitants are named
Chase) feel truly thankful to the
public for their liberal patronage of
our necktie party of Jan. 90, espe-
cialy those of Denver and Sunnyside
who assisted in the entertainment.
The dialogs from those places were
well performed, and the music bv
the glee club cannot be surpassed
on Camas Prairie. The closing
scene was a negro minstrel troupe
headed by S. d. Jones, after which
the neckties were sold at auction by
Frank White. The house was crow
ded to its utmost capacity and the
audience was very orderly, except
a few young men who probably had
had poor opportunities of learning
the habits of gentlemen, and could
not help giving way to their natu-
raj instinct, and the howl or bark
of dog was occasionally heard from
them. After the neck ties were sold
supper was served to the multitude,
a free lunch for everybody. And
Will say right here that a regular
old-fashioned miracle was perform
ed by a citizen of the district-he
went home with his basket fuller
than when he came, after spreading
his viands and helping feed the
After the repast those
who felt SO inclined tripped the
light fantastic till the wee sma'
hours, and everybody felt satisfied,
with no desire to attend the Worlds
Fair. The receipts of the evening
were 1925, which is to be used in
improving the school house.

is Butte that gives them employ
ment, and because without Butte
four men out of every five now en-
ployed would be idle. Here is a
chance for some practical reciproc-
ity on the part of the sturdy hew-
ers of wood in the forests of Mon
tana.
TO THE MEN WHO RUN THE TRAINS.
If it were not for Butte one rail-
road could handle all the business
for this state. Before Butte be-
came a great city, Gilmer & Sails
bury's stage coaches and an Occa-
sional mule train did all the
freighting. The scene has changed.
Montana is now pierced by three
transcOntinental roads, fourth is
at her borders, and dozen branch
lines are in operation, employing in
all fully 1000 men. A vast major
ity of them are employed in hand
ling traffic which grows directly
out of the activities of Butte. The
Montana Central, the Bozeman
branch of the Northern Pacific, the
Montana Union connection and the
Utah Il Northern were all construc-
ted to meet the necessities of the
Butte business. Each of the great
transcontinental lines credits Butte
with as much as one-sixth of it's to-
tai business. Railroad graders.
yard men, brakesmen, fremen CON
ductors, engineers, are therefore
invited to vote for Butte for the
capital. They get good wages be-
cause Butte stimulates business.
If Butte should drop off the map
two-thirds of the men would drop
off the pay roll. Butte, being the
greatest railroad center of the state,
is naturally popular with the rail-
road boys, and it's citizens trust to
them for a loyal support in the
great battle for the location of the
capital.
