spoRT4oN SNOW AND ICE.
A Jolly New ear on Portland Street and
inDe, 1ing Park Yesterday

It was a rell,lar snow and ice carnival
on Portland-ls street and Deering Oaks
Yesterday aft1rnoon. The weather was
bright and crisp, but not SO uncomforta-
BILE as to keef people indoors, and they
were out in g3eat numbers, the chief cen
tire of attraction in the afternoon being
to see the sleigh racing and skating.
Portland street has rarely, if ever,
seen such a crowd Of sleigh riders and
spectators. 1t seemed as though every
possessor of fast or handsome horse
was out for pleasure, and long line of
spectators enjoyed the fun from both
sides of the street. The flyers were all
out, and it was constant succession of
races that afforded the most exciting
sport. In the midst of the fun, large
gray horse, the property OF W. HI. Milliken,
became excited near the intersection of
Mellen street and dashed along in an I'M
manageable way, the driver standing up
in the sleigh and vainly trying to control
the horse. The crowd got out of the
road, and the gray dashed along Port
land street. The driver was thrown out
near Mechanic street, but escaped injury.
The horse continued on at great speed,
until in endeavoring to turn up Preble
street he slipped and fell. Before he
could rise the strong arm of Dan. Nc
Cam, the well known blacksmith, was
upon his neck, and further damage was
averted. Luckily neither man, horse
nor sleigh was injured to any apparent
extent The horse, we understand, is a
valuable one, with trotting record of
2.21. The excitement of indiscriminate
scrub racing was not what he was accus-
toned to.
On the ice in Deering Oaks the park
commissioners had cleared space for
skating, and it seemed literally alive
with people. There must have been in
the neighborhood of a thousand skaters
on the ice, and half as many people
watched the graceful evolutions from
positions overlooking the scene.
All in all, it was lively New Years
winter afternoon in Deering Oaks and Vi
entity.
There was a runaway on Grove street
last evening, but no damage was done.
Considerable excitement was caused
on Congress street last evening by the
rapid pace of horse attached to a
sleigh in which was boy who pulled
hard on the reins and shouted Justify for
people to get out of the way, The horse,
which seemed to be little too head
strong for the youthful driver, was final
ly stopped by man who leaped into the
sleigh.
DR.. Ways horse made little pilgrim
age down Cumberland street ON his own
account last night, and damaged the
sleigh slightly.

The Lamp Rock of Asia.

On the shores of Lake Rangkul, in
the Cashgar mountains, in central
Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock of
Asia, which is SO called from cave in
its side from which a constant stream
of pale, greenish light is emitted. Ney
Elias, the English adventurer, who pass
I'D it in 1885, thinks it possible that the
light is due to some phosphorescent
mineral in the sides of the cavern near
its opening. The natives of that section
have never attempted to investigate the
matter, each seeming content with the
story told by his father, which is this
1.-THE cave is the dwelling place of a
demon, who guards vast treasures stored
there, and the light is from diamond
worn in band around his forehead y
Elias explanation of the mystery is
probably the true one.-St. Louis Re-

Joe, the Turk" Eclipsed.

Ballington Booth, second son of Gen
eral Booth, and commander of the Sal
walton Army in the United States, is
coming to Portland on Thursday, the 18th
of January. The occasion of his visit is
the wedding of two of the most promi-
nent and promising officers in the New
England division. City Hall has been
engaged for the occasion, and Salvation
lists are expected to flock in from all
neighboring parts. There will be music
in Portland: not only
''The flute violin, bassoOn,"
will pipe and wall through City Hall,
but the,
tClarion, loud and shrill,
"The measured beat OF the sounding drum
and few instruments not known to poe
try will help to make some loud harmony
there. The Salvationists will not confine
themselves to the limits of City Hall,
spacious as that building is, but will
have some stirring street maches and
open air meetings.
1t is several years since Commander
Booth was last in Portland, and since
then the Army has made gigantic for
ward strides. DR.. Lyman Abbott says
that this is because ''the Booths have q
genius for leadership" At all events,
the Commanders meetings are always
full of fire. and the interest never flags,
from beginning to end. This will be az
excellent opportunity to see how a Booth
does it.
The Commander will also deliver an
address ON "The Worlds Need and the
Salvation Armys Answer"

STATE TOPICS OF lNTERETs.

The ship yard mechanics of Bath are
greatly pleased over the assured prospect
of good springs and summers work in
the shipyards. This is based upon til e
fact that several Bath shipbuilders have
recently sent south or to the northern
part of Maine the "moulds" for vessels
frames to be cut and delivered here in
be built from these moulds will be for
the coastwise trade, with perhaps a
single exception. The Bath shipbuilders
who intend to put up vessels at their
yards the coming summer are, John Nc
Donald, a bark; William L. Donnell, a
four-masted schooner; George Hawley, a
schooner; Gardiner G. Deering, a
N. II. Palmer, schooner, Els. Crosby, a
schooner. The prospect is considered
favorable that the New England COM
pany, and Kelley, Spear & Co.. Bath
large shipbuilding firms, will build
several vessels the coming summer. On
the whole, the outlook is vastly more
encouraging for big summers work in
Bath than for several years.
