THE TWIN CITIES.
Auburn and Lewiston Market Men Eat
Chowder at Harpswen.

The Grand Trunk brought in several
trains loaded down with the market1nen
of Lewiston and Auburn yesterday morn
ing. 1t was the annual field day Of the
Auburn and Lewiston Marketmen's As
sociation. 1t is said the four trains car
ried fully 1900 people. The weather was
not at what could be.desired, but every
body was bound for good time at Harp
swell and they had it. The trainssran
down to the wharf and the Sebascodegan,
Merryconeag and Madeleine were quickly
filed with men, women and children.
The market men wore white aprons, and
Lieut. Fred I. Willis was chief marshal and
wore red silk sash about his waist over
his white apron. Hon. Albert M. Penly
of Auburn was guide and Col. A. B. Nea-
ley, Abram Atwood, J. W. Peables and
r. Dresser were the first set Of fours. A.
M. Penly is president of the association.
A. B. Nealey was committee on entertain
ment, r. Dresser vice president, Abram
Atwood treasurer, o. II. Olfene and Alder
man : Carrigan committee of arrange
ments, Wallace Morrow and W. c. Fogg
the Lewiston police force and Officers
Jenkins and Lord of Auburn headed the
party. The Lewiston Brigade Band were
stylish in new dark uniforms with the
letters L. B. in gold and silver on their
caps and shoulders. Drum Major Glack-
in headed them, and the band played fine
ly.
The sail down to Harpswell was much
enjoyed, despite the fog. On arrival at
Harpswell the party marched to the Mer-
ryconeag and other hotels, the. band play
ing lively music, and dinner was thor
oughly enjoyed by the hungry crowd. A
very well behaved crowd it was too, and
although the weather in the afternoon
drove many to town, who enjoyed shop
ping and seeing the city, and filed the
Grand Trunk station, the bulk of the
party remainedfor the last boats, and
enjoyed games of ball and all the usual
outside sports between the drops. The
last train at O'Clock took the tired but
happy p arty home, they declaring they
never had a better time.
The managers of the Harpswell Steam
boat Company say they have never car
ried over their line finer and more or
derry company. Their only regret is that
it was not pleasanter day that their
guests might have better enjoyed the
beautiful scenery of Casco Bay with it's
365 islands and hope another year they
may be more fortunate in this respect.

RAIN AT RIGBY.
Yesterdays Races Postponed Until This
Afternoon.

Few people went to Rigby park yester-
day, and those who did go turned about
and come home again. 1t rained hard at
one O'Clock, the hour set for the begin
ming of the days sprot, and the races
We're consequently postponed until today,
bhe events for the remaining days of the
meeting being set one day ahead. The
races will begin today at p m. sharp.
Mr. Courtney Jenkins, the starter,
might have been base ball umpire and
he would have been famous one. But
the impartiality and Judgment which
would have brought him distinction on.
the diamond are probably worth more to
him in dollars and cents in the judges
stand at the race track. A starter is we'll
paid for his work, and if he is a good one
he deserves to be. Mr. Jenkins has
happy faculty of getting the horses off
well together with minimum of tedious
scoring. At the same time, he is popular
with the drivers. He is man who means
what he says, but he says it in courteous
manner.
Miss Myrtle Peek is no stranger on
Maine race tracks, and her performance
is generally favorably received. The in
terest shown by the spectators Tuesday
afternoon in the hurdle leaping of the
horse Boston suggests the inquiry {, as to
the probability of making running races
a success on Maine tracks. The horsemen
almost unanimously say no. Still it
would be an interesting experiment of
some manager made the venture and
tried few running races in connection
with trotting events. OF course it would
be ne cessary to offer sufficient induce
ment to get running horses from other
states. Maine horses are not trained for
that style of racing.
Miss Peek's performance Mond ay re-
quired, perhaps, more skill than merely
riding fast horse in race, but it lacked
the excitement that attended the ten mile
dashes she used to make when she
changed from horse to horse on the track
and did ten miles in a little over twenty
minutes.

rosy for the fair, and that Portland ex-

Goodall Worsted Company to Erect a
New Weaving Building-MilIs Running
on Full Time,
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l


Sanford, Maine, August Z, 1S95-Ru-
mors to the effect that the Goodall
Worsted Company of this town contem-
plated the purchase of the Norway Plains
Company's property, consisting of three
large factories at Rochester, N. H., have
been rife of late, but l.. B. Goodall treas
urer of the Goodall Worsted Company
when seen by the PRESS correspondent,
said: Il was not aware that anyone
representing the Goodall Worsted Com
pany, had visited Rochester with the pur-
pose of looking over the property of the
concern in question. AS for making an
offer of S11S, 900 for the property we
would not think for moment of pur-
chasing factories so totally unadapted for
our business as these old structures must
be. None of the machinery is suitable
for the manufacture of worsted yarn. If
we were going to invest $118, 900 in further
developing our business we would prefer
to expend the amount right here in
Maine where we are already established
''We have just begun the work of exca-
waiting for new building in which it is
our intention to concentrate our entire
weaving department.. This new structure
will be one of the best and most solidly
constructed factory buildings in Maine
If not in the New England States 1t will
be built of wood but all the timbers will
be extra heavy, especially the floor tim
bers This is absolutely necessary owing
to the fact that all of the machinery used
in the manufacture of worsted fabrics
is kept in motion almost continually and
runs at very high rate Of speed. This
causes degree of vibration that no ordi-
nary building will stand for any length
of time. The new factory that we are
now erecting will be hfty-two feet wide,
one hundred and twenty-five feet long
and three stories high and viii be fitted
with the most approved appliances.
The old factory from which we shall re-
move the machinery etc., as soon as the
new building is ready for occupancy, we
shall convert into storehouse. as we
have been cramped for room to store our
raw material for some time''.
The factories of the Goodau Worsted Co.,
have been running night and day during
the greater portion of the past two years
and their furnaces consume twenty-fou
tons of coal every twenty -four hours.
The company operates its own electric
light plant and keeps two seperate crews
of operatives, employed every working
day and night
