BRIEF JoTTlNGs.

The Inaurated Fibre Company has de-
clared dividend of II per cent.
Yesterday was beautiful day. The
sun, shining on the ice-laden trees, made
a magnificent spectacle.
Warden Cushman seized a barrel con-
tanning 1870 short Holsters at the steamer

The Chautauqua Circle will meet with

late comrade, George H. Abbott, at his
late residence, No. SO State street, at 2.30
p. m. today.
During the excitement at the fire on
st John street, Sunday, a daughter of
Charles A. Rankin, of 249 St. John street
was pushed, down flight of steps, a
dozen or more in number, striking on
her head. She was quite badly hurt.
Bya typographical error in yesterday S
PRESS we were made to say that if the
law proposed by Judge Gould for recti-
flying seized liquors had been in force the
last ten years, when the ten should have

Yesterday the Atkinson Company

THE FLYERS OUT.
Portland Street Very Lively Again.

The mixture of snow, sleet, rain and
'friz" of Sunday put Portland street IN
fine condition for fast sleigh riding, and
there was big turn out of fast horses
and lockers on in the beautiful winter
weather of yesterday afternoon.
Among the new horses there was Glen
arm colt Glendale, bred and driven by
MI. Richards of Falmouth, a youngster
that made record of 2. Al at Cumberland
last fall, nearly distancing the field, and
by some mishap was distaneed himself
in the next heat. John F. Barrett's
stylish bay gelding, Sir Julian of Deer
ing; Charles E. Haskelrs bay PAGER, G.
E. H., and numerous colts.
In the ranks of the well known flyers
were Farmer Boy, Mary Ann, Thorn
bury, Dot NJ, Oakdale Dot, Dick Lam
bert, Lon Moor, PAGER, John Randall's
trotter, City Marshal, and many other
good ones.
The principal fun was in several heats
between DIR. Chase's Farmer Boy, driven

Mary Ann handled by her owner. Mary
was in rare trim, trotting very steady and
fast and the same was true of the Farm
er Boy. They made close and exciting
sport and both sides claimed the victory.
1t would be hard to decide, for first one
horse and then the other would be in the
lead at the finish.
There was quite a large crowd skat-
ing on the pond in behring's Oaks and
the ice is in very good condition.
There were comparatively few teams
on the Back Bay ice track, the prefer
ence being for Portland street, with its
single track, heavy teams and hazard of
collision. The city has prepared q good
double course ice track on Back Bay and
all this week the tide so serves that the
ice rests solidly upon the flats during the
afternoon. No accident has ever occurred
there and they have not been uncommon
on Portland street.

Unlawful Fish-hooks.

The late Judge Virgin was very fond
Of fishing, and no disciple of Izaak Wal
ton could show greater patience in wait
ing for bite than he. At the same time
he appreciated all the modern appliances
in the way of hooks and tackle. There
is law in Maine against using trolling
spoons in certain lakes at certain times
of the year, and unfortunately that
closed season used to come at just the
time the Judge used to like to take a
trip up to the ponds about Fryeburg to
''try his luck.'' One of the storekeep-
ers there tells with glee how the Judge,
on such occasions, used to come into mis-
place and ask with solemnity, "Have
YOU any of those unlawful fish hooks?'
The merchant would confess that he did
have some. "Well, them" the Judge
would add, 'give me three

When Mr. Barnet got fairly to work
with his derrick, his men and his buckets,
he found that there was good deal more
to do than he had expected. The well
drivers had injured the original we'll
by breaking some of the tiles which lined

themselves and were made Several
