A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections

A good story Is told ola young man OF
this place who last week attended pri-
vate picnic among the young folks. He and
a charming young lady proposed to cut
up a cake There was some good ma
tured dispute as to whose cake should be
cut, and the young man got the idea that
it was another girls baking, when really
it was made by the fair hands of the girl
with whom he was talking. The youth
did not like the cake, said it was tough,
and suggested that they slip quietly out
of sight and throw the cake away. The
young lady assented, and the objectiona
ble sweets were accordingly fired off into
the bushes. When the young man found
out the truth, he felt some of those emo
tions, which characterize ones feelings,
when he thinks of things that he would
rather not have said.

This is good year for "varmints.' y
Last week family in town discovered
by more senses than one that robust
specimen of the genus nlephitis Ameri-
cana had taken up his abode in the cellar.
He remained there several days, there
being no mistake as to his identity, but
for obvious reasons, it was not thought
safe to attack him. Finally, by keeping
close watch, Mr.. Skunk was seen, and a
load of shot terminated his odorous life.

Coming to See the Mile Trsck,

A telegram was received yesterday
from Seth Griffin that he was about to
leave Chicago for Portland. It is ex-
pected that he will reach here Sunday
evening and be ready to take charge of
the work of completing the track Mon
day. All the track work he laid out has
been attended to, the final work only re-
naming
Yesterday the association closed a COM
tract with the Portland Water Comnanv
for an ample supply of Sebago. A con-
tract has also been made with Lewis
ton company TO pipe the grounds and
stables.
tits expected that number of gentle
men representing the horse owners of
Lewiston and Auburn will visit the
grounds today. They will come up on
an early train, and will inspect the track
in the forenoon. The site for the hotel
has been selected, and work all along
the line will be vigorously pushed as
one of the association said yesterday.
After Seth Griffin arrives there will be
no more delay in the work of putting
the track in order, and getting ready for
business.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Crust of Society.

1t is to be hoped that audiences COM
mensurate with the merits of the com
pany now playing at Portland threatre
will patronize the matinee and evening
performances today. 1t is sad refec-
ton that some plays we have lately seen
on the boards of this house, have drawn
audiences measured only by its seating
and standing capacity, when asdrama
like "The Crust of Society," presented
by actors, sees by no means an adequate
attendance. 1t is true the name of the
play is not happy; that it jars on the ear.
But if the representations of character
with which the piece. deals are of a
nature to jar on the susceptibihties of
those whose life resembles them in any
degree-and society everywhere has
many such-the play while it teaches a
lesson yet contains no offensive lines,
they teach lesson yet are not offensive.

for this purpose by a first mortgage on
the II miles, and a general mortgage on
the remainder of the road. This will
make the debt of the road $4,000 a

its operating expenses, interest on it's
