HARRISON ELECTRIC.
1t Is Proposed to Run Standard Guage
Line From South Paris to Bridgton-
The Corporation and Their Plans.

The project for the building of an
electric road to afford an outlet for the
northern towns of the county is at last
assuming definite shape. Hon. Phil
ander Tolman, of Harrison, has been IN
terested in this matter; and largely
through his efforts the steps have been
taken to incorporate by act OF the legis-
lature company which proposes to
build an electric road of standard guage
from South Paris through Norway. Har-
rison, Waterford and North Bridgton to
Bridgton. The leading men OF these
towns have petitioned the legislature for
the charter, the petition being fifteen
feet long and containing five hundred
names or more. The list of incorpora-
tors is as follows: Philander Tolman,
Alvin P. Kicker and Albion K. Morse. of
Harrison; Byron Kimball and Edward
Kimball of North Bridgton; DR.. F. S.
Packard of Waterford; III. M. Bearce, A.
L. F. Pike, and A. F. Andrews of Nor
way; Isaac c. Atkinson, Hubbard II.
Nevens and Lyman FL. Nelson, of Port.
land. It is estimated that from one to
two hundred thousand dollars will be re-
quired to construct the road, and steps
will be taken as soon as the charter is
granted to raise the money and prepare
to build the road in the spring. The
Giant Electric company, of this city, are
interested in the matter and will proba-
bly, equip the the road when it shall be
built.
The distance from South Paris to
Bridgton, along the route proposed, is
20 miles. The road is planned to be
standard guage, and to be equipped for
both freight and passengers. There are
considerable number of industries
along the proposed line and Waterford
Flat is something of a summer resort
Among the industries to be benefited are
Ellingwood's chair factory at Harrison,
and new chair factory which is to be
built at Waterford.
There has been talk of an extension of
the Bridgton Narrow Guage Railway
along part of this proposed route; but
if the electric is built as proposed, this
will probably not be done.

Winter Sports.

Portland street and behring's Oaks
presented very animated scene in the
mild, bright winter weather of yesterday
afternoon. The slight fall of damp snow
had made the sleighing on the street
very fair and the flyers again met on
their old speeding ground, the ice track
on the Back Bay being well nigh de-
serted. The chief racing was between
Ira P. Woodbury's fast young trotter
Topaz and Peter Nickerson's PAGER, Tom
Patehen. Topaz was in great form for
speed and could trot quite as fast as
Patchen could pace. Their contest
terminated by the PAGER throwing shoe,
but it was lively and exciting work while
it lasted with the honors rather in favor
of Topaz.
A collision occurred between the sleigh
of DR.. Warren and Mr.. Soule by which
the sleigh of the former was quite badly
damaged. Fortunately neither of the
drivers or horses were injured in the
least. The double tracked ice course on
the Back Bay makes such mishaps all
most out Of the question.
The pond in behring's Oaks park has
been well cleared and hundreds were
enjoying the exhilarating exercise of
skating during the afternoon. 1t has
been remarkable season for this sport,
it extending over a period of some two
months by the action of the park COM
missioners in flooding the pond and
clearing it of snow.

Lieutenant Peary's Lecture.

At the Academy of music, Philadel-

Lieut.. Peary has "a good voice, and
speaks SO distinctly that every syllable
was heard in the farthest gallery. The
lecture was beautifully illustrated by
steropticon views from the Lieutenant
own photographs showing the character
of the country, the costumes and man
sers of the natives. The Lieutenant in
trodueed his sledge and team of Eskimo
dogs. with which he made his trip over
the ice in Greenland.
Lieut.. Peary will lecture in Portland at
a matinee Friday, the 10th, prox, when
the school children will have an oppor-
tunity to attend, and again in the evening.
