RIGBY PARK NOTES.
Our Local Horsemen Have in View Some
Great Races at the Mile Track.


Visitors to Rigby Park are complain
ing of the condition of the public high
way. We understand the Cape Elizabeth
authorities have eighteen months from
the date of acceptance by the county
commissioners wherein to build tlis
road but should say as it is proving of
such value to the town, that it was poor
policy not to put this section Of roadway
into the best of condition at the earliest
possible day. No road hereabouts ex-
cepting possibly the main thoroughfare
to Deering, is patronized more than this
road to Rigby Park.
On Tuesday, Oct. 4th, Nelson will
start for special purse Of $4,000 to beat
his record of $500.
C. Fl. Nelson has publicly stated that
two weeks after this date, Oct. 4th, he
will match Nelson against any stallion in
the world. The Rigby Association will
probably be ready to offer $4,000 toward
purse of $4,000, if, Nelson and some
other horseman will put in $2500 each
for race between Nelson and any other
great stallion. This would make purse
of $4,000 for race at Rigby Park some
time the last of October.

A New Brand of Crank.


A new sort Of crank has developed
here. He confines his operations to a
limited section of the city and seems to
have a perfect mania for getting into
other peoples homes through any win
dow that happens to be open. He was
watched one night recently, and was
seen to enter three houses in rapid sue
cession. When there were two windows
in room he would go in through one
and come out through the other. Moth

showing that robbery was not his OBJ

%. Hatch wrote and all sung the follow
ing:
With Joy we hail this festive day,
The day we celebrate;
With loyal hearts we muster mere,
For old acquaintance sake
With glowing hearts and open hands.
Comrades and friends we greet;
While round the board with hearty cheer,
In social bands we meet.
Here DER our camp old glory waves,
With stars and stripes entire;
The flag we followed in the fight,
Through smoke and blood and fire.
No ringing buge's warlike notes,
Calls us TO arms today;
The blue in friendships sacred name,
Sends greetings to the gray.
A tear for those now mustered out,
Comrades aLd frends s" dear;
No more we take their friendly hand,
Their place is vacant here.
Through various scenes we've marched along.
And many milestones passed.
God grant we all may meet in Heaven,
When we have passed the last.

NOT Mr.. THURSTON.
A Visitor to Portland Who Resembles the
Missing Man.

There is stranger in this city who
has the popularity of bearing a very
marked resemblance to Mr.. Samuel
Thurston; SO much SO, in fact, that he
has been mistaken for him number OF
times of late, much to his disgust.
Three times in one evening recently he
was met by persons who called him MIR.
Thurston'' and received his assurance
that he was not Mr.. Thurston with de-
cided marks of unbelief
Wednesday evening, DR.. John I. Pal
mer, who knew Mr.. Thurston well, met
the stranger and called him Mr.. Thurs
ton. The stranger protested, but Tor
time could not convince the doctor that
he had made a mistake. At last, how
ever, he succeeded, and said when DR..
Palmer admitted his mistake that he had
been constantly called Mr.. Thurston''
by everybody. ''And yet don't even
know the man, said the old gentleman.
His presence here has doubtless given
rise to many of the stories told by par
ties who have felt convinced that they
had met and talked with Mr.. Thurston
himself.
The gentleman bears, SO DR.. Palmer
says, perfectly wonderful resemblance
to Mr.. Thurston, only not being quite SO
vigorous as that we'll known citi-
zen used to be. The stranger was very
much in earnest, and was determined
that DIR. Palmer should be convinced that
he was not the missing and much talked
about man. He had been subjected to
considerable annoyance and trouble on
account of his unpleasant resemblance
to Mr. Thurston. After this, people
who see man who looks like Mr.. Thurs
ton will take second look and be con-
vinced of their mistake.

years ago Miss Willard here organized
the Maine w. G. t. o., then introduced
Mrs. Chant of England as one who had
come to this country for the third time,
and had endeared herself to the women
of America. Mrs. Chant opened her re-
marks by SAYING that when here five
years ago, she first learned to speak in
the open air, ror. was this the only lesson
that she had learned in America. In
England they have forgotten that impress
