The Maokerel Catch.

The catch outlook is not near as prom
Using. The fleet landed about 1900 bar
rels against $500 barrels two weeks ago,
and nosschools are reported anywhere on
the coast except about Thatcher's Island
where haul of $1,000 large fish was
made on Thursday. The fine weather
may enable vessels to make few more
stops, but it is feared that the great body
of mackerel was driven off the coast by
the northeastern storm early in the week
and that the season will soon be closed.
The vessels that are OUT may bring in
enough to make the catch as large as
last year, but up to date there is a def
cheney of about 5000 barrels. Receipts
of salt mackerel during the week are all
from foreign ports, about $50 barrels
coming from Ireland, and the remainder
from the British Provinces. The i'm
ports for the season also show falling
off, as compared with last year, of 5000
barrels. According to these figures the
total deficiency is IA, 900 barrels.

DEERING.

A Horse in the Sewer Causes Excitement.
There was much excitement at Wood
ford's Saturday afternoon over the
antics of Mr.. Frank G. Ramsdell's colt.
Mr.. Ramsdell had the colt hitched into a
gig. and was driving along Forest
avenue, when the animal became
frightened near Partridge & Rounds's
store It threw MI. Ramsdell out and
started to run down Deering street and
up Mechanic street. They are putting
the new sewer in on Mechanic street and
at the point towards which Mr.. Ramdell's
colt dashed the trench was..about ten feet
deep. The animal saw the tire nch too
late to stop, so it attempted to leap
across. The pile of.earthswas too high,
and striking it. the colt rolled into the
ditch. The animal struck in such way
that he lay helpless at the..bottom of the
ditch. The work Of rescuing the poor
beast took. the energies and advice of a
large number of people. A derrick was
obtained and set up over the place where
the beast had fallen. Then blankets and
ropes were obtained and a sling made.
With this the colt was lifted out. No
damage was DONE

HIGHWAYMlN'S VOICE.
Portland Young Woman Held Up at
Her Fathers Gate.

The Ruffian Thought She Had Money and
Was Going to Knock Her Down to Get
It-she Was Too Quick for Him and
Escaped.
Miss Russell, daughter of Mr.. F. J.
Russell of this city, had an experience
Saturday evening which she will not
soon forget. Mr.. Russell's place of BUSH
ness is at No. 2S India street, and he lives
at 17S Fore street. His daughter is book
keeper at the store and boards at home.
The Saturday evening trade at the store
is always good, and Miss Russell has
been supposed to have charge of portion
of this money after the close of business.
Saturday evening Miss Russell started
for home about ten o'clock. She had
arrived almost at the gate of her house,
when a man suddenly rose up before her,
saying in rough voice: II guess you
would be good girl to knock down."
"What?" was the young woman's ex-
clamation of fright.
II say, guess you would be a good
girl to knock down; you have the
DOODLE" With this the man stepped
toward her.
Miss Russell by quick movement,
darted through a side gate which the
rufian apparently had not seen, and
gained the side door of her home and ran
in before the fellow could follow her.
Miss Russell does not remember that
she had ever seen the fellow before, and
could not recognize him.

AT RIeBy TRACK.
The Greatest Race of all is Scheduled for
Today-Nelson's Foot is Better; But It Is
Uncertain Whether He Will Start.

Saturdays rain prevented the races at
Rigby and it was necessary to put them
over until today. The unfinished 2.35
race will be trotted, and the free-for-all,
in which some noted horses are entered.
The hour for calling the races is 80 p.
m. Mr.. Isaiah Pompilly will .act as
starter today, Col. Edwards having re-
turned to New Jersey. The advertise
ment in another column will give details.
Nelson's foot was better last night;
but it is not known whether he will
start.
The free-for-all has in it some noted
horses; and undoubtedly the fastest time
ever made in New England will result.
1t is suggested that the stores that
were to close Saturday might close today
In his report of last weeks races, Mr..
J.W. Thompson, associate editor OF the
American Horse Breeder, and one of the
first authorities in the country on racing
matters, has this to say of the track:
Words fail utterly to describe the
which was opened to the public on the
third inst. 1t is the finest track I'M
doubtedIy in the whole Eastern country,
and is simply perfect in every detail. 1t
is also the best mile track ever seen over
which to view a race. With it's ninety
rod turns and seventy rod stretches it
gives grand opportunity to enjoy the
contests between the horses engaged, for
while they are farther away when going
up the back stretch, owing to the width
of the track, than on the ordinary regu-
lation, they are proportionately nearer
turns. The stables are models of archi-
lecture, and the grand stand is an inn
posing structure, capable of seating
seven or eight thousand spectators. The
road bed Of the track has been often
written up, and the only test by which it
can be judged has now been applied, and
the fast time made in the races trotted
