WINTER SPORTS.
Another Lively Day and Some New
Speeders on Portland Street.

There was another big crowd on
Portland street yesterday to see the
speeding of the fast horses, and the
slelghlng was nearly in perfect condi-
ton, the result of light snow for a
cushion over level bed of ice.
Besides the well-known local horses
Dolly Fl, Topaz, Norway Knox, Patchen,
Oakdale Dot, and about the whole fleet
of Portlands flyers, there were some
new horses on the course. Conspicuous
among them was Lawyer Swasey's big
bay gelding, Palm, bred at Lewiston,
with track record of 2.2S: Ned Allen,
with low record to his credit, driven
by Mahlon Jordan; Irving Rowe's new
gray PAGER and number of Westland,
Norway Knox aud Winthrop Pilot young
sters of great promise.
The prettiest and fastest race on the
street took place in the latter part of the
afternoon between the Baxter trotter
Freeman, with mark in the thirties,
and Irving Rowe's new PAGER. 1t was
nip and tuck, the PAGER landing in front.
The trotter was pulling two men.
There was no end to the fun in general
scrub racing, but the fast horses were
not seen at their best, except in spots
where they were let out to the full limit
of speed.
Down in the Oaks near by was large
party of merry skaters, and when the
schools were out they came almost in
droves, the girls much outnumbering
the boys-quite new order of things,
but of course, in the line of progress. It's
pity that more space has not been
cleared for the young folks for this
healthful exercise. A trife more Of the
efforts of the plow and the horses would
clear double the space at no cost worth
considering in the general good.
1t is understood that MI. Foss. who is
to build the new hotel at Rigby Park,
will commence work right away when
the roads are in good condition for haul
ing material. The hotel will be located
little to the rear of the grand stand
and will be first-class in every arrange
ment and appointment for a public
house in connection with great racing
track. We understand, furthermore,
that Mr.. Foss has it within his plans to
keep open house all winter and to keep
the broad avenue approaching Rigby
Park, $500 feet in length, in condition to
afford winter race course.

Assaulted by Hoodlums.

Monday evening, as Mr.. Frank M. Vas
say was on his way home with Minnie
Mcfarland, little girl - years old, he
passed a group of four men who were
standing on the corner of Larch and
Cumberland streets. One of them in
suited Mr.. Vassay, and fight ensued.
The four men were afterwards arrest
ed by Officers Heating and Morse and
brought before Judge Gould yes
terday. The young men gave their
names as Edward Boyce, Duncan Nc
Rough, John j. Connors and Thomas
Rush. Boyce was found not guilty of
the assault, but the other three paid S.
and costs each, and received severe lee
ture from Judge Gould. The judge told
the hoodlums that second appearance
before him would mean months resi-
dence in the county Jail. Mr.. George
Libby appeared as counsel for one of the
man

A Kindly Recognition.

The firm OF Owen, Moore & Co. have
done kindly thing, which shows their
appreciation of their employees and the
pleasant feeling existing between en-
ployers and employed. They have pre-
.sented each Of the heads of departments
and clerks with two weeks salary, which
at this time,. is worthy of comment.
This is not however, an unusual thing
for the firm to do as it has been their
custom every New Years.
During the past year the firm has en-
ployed more assistants at higher salaries
than ever before, showing its increased
prosperity It is good thing for city
that it is possible for the press to state
these facts, especially when business in
many places has sbeen SO depressed.
The contract for furnishing the win
dow shades and curtains for the new
High School building has been awarded
to this firm.

Captain Eben Griffin Dropped Dead
at the Wheel.

The tug boat CA. Warren, owned by
the Central Wharf Towboat company,
was out early yesterday morning, and
Captain Eben Griffin was at the helm as

first to the bark Myrtle, and there
arranged with the captain for some
towing. Then the tug headed for the
Grand Trunk wharf. As,the tug came
up to the wharf. Captain Griffin struck
one bell, which is the signal to the engi-
neer to stop. The engineer obeyed the
signal, and then awaited for the next
signal, which might be needed to bring
the boat to. But that signal did not
come, and the boat bumped the wharf.
knowing that something was wrong,
the hands rushed to the pilot house,
where Captain Griffin was found breath
ing his last beside the wheel. A
physician was summoned. but the dying
man was beyond help and soon expired.
The deceased was the Oldest tugboat
captain at this port. He was captain of
the little double-ender, the first steam

Mr.. LORDS ADDRESS.
His Lines of Thought on Civil Service Re-
form in Cities.

Tomorrow evening. Mr.. Arthur W..
Lord of Boston will address the Portland
city government on the civil service re-
form which has been introduced in the
methods of selecting laborers for city
work in Boston.
Mr.. Lord is to explain the Boston sys-
tenn fully in all its bearings. In gener-
al way, preliminary idea can !be given
which will convey information as to the
lines on which he will talk. In Boston
there is bureau, where all the men who
desire to work for the city on the streets
or other public departments ale regis
tered. Each man is examined when he
presents himself. His physical condi-
ton is ascertained and the number of
people who are dependent on him. His
habits are inquired into. There is sys-
tenn of marking which determines his
rank, much the same as pupils are
ranked in a school, If he is a sober
man. well able to work, he gets high
rank. If he has these qualifications and
in addition has several people dependent
on him he gets a still higher rank.
Each laborer is given ticket with his
rank on 1t, which he keeps as his certifi-
cate to right to city employment. Sup
pose now the city wants an hundred
men. The hundred having the highest
ranks are the ones who get the employ
ment. If twenty men are wanted for a
special job, notice is sent to the bureau
and double the number are summoned.
Then their tickets are inspected, and the
twenty holding the highest ranks are Sc
lected.
This system takes the street depart
mont out of politics. No questions are
ever asked of aman as to how he votes.
Mayor Baxter says that leading men of
both parties in Boston tell him that they
are well pleased with the system and
would not goback to the old methods.
Even the ward politicians, who formerly
made use of the street department to
aid in carrying elections, say that they
think the new plan works we'll and are
by no means anxious to see the system
changed back to what it was before.

deposit, and drew the sum of five dollars.
When she came out she dropped her
bank book and the five Dollar bill. on
the cellar grating in the sidewal': in
front of the bank. The bill futtered
through the grating. The bank book
didn't go through. A man, who was
passing, picked up the book and followed
after the woman. She appeared so
peculiar chat the man carried the book
into the bank and told the officers about
the bill, which they recovered.
