A Magnificent Lot of Thoroughbreds at
Poland.

The officials of the New England Mile
Track association and invited guests
went to South Poland yesterday to in
spect the stock farm OF Mr.J.S. Sanborn.
The party was met at the depot by carrl-
ages and driven to the farm, where q
thorough inspection was made OF the
stock, farm and buildings. Early In the
afternoon the guests sat down to a boun-
teous dinner supplied by. the host. The
return trip was made at a late hour in

The party that went on the trip was
composed Of Messrs. George E. Burnham,
Weston f. Mllliken, j. S. Heald, Port
land; j. s. Sanborn, Boston; Alonzo
Libby, .Westbrook; q. Fl. Hayes, Ports
mouth; G. f. Murch, Westbrook;
Edward Fletcher, Cape Elizabeth; and q.
f. Fatnum, Deering. Secretary Rowell
and Treasurer Brown of the New Eng
land fair had expected to go. but were
probably deferred by the signs of rain.
Mr.. Sanborn's farm embraces some
three hundred acres. There are four
barns that will accommodate about two
hundred horses A wind mill on the
place pumps pure spring water into the
barn. About 40 horses are at the farm

MIR. HAYS TO MIR. WINSI0W-
The Grand Trunk General Manager To
Come Here.

He Desires to Meet a Committee of seven
to Be Appointed by Mayor Baxter. and
President Winslow of the Board of
Trade-Wil Be Here Within Ten DAYS.
President Winslow of the board of
trade received letter yesterday from
General Manager Hays of the Grand
Trunk, saying that the proposition made
by Mr.. Noyes and others regarding the
proposed elevator had been considered by
the president and himself and that as
soon as possible he would be in Portland
for the purpose of submitting proposit-
ion likely to be satisfactory to all inter-
ested.
He suggested that President Winslow,
on behalf of the board of trade and Mayor
Baxter unite in appointing committee
not exceeding seven, representing the
board and the mayor, and that the COM
mittee be given as much discretionary
power as possible. He said he thought he
should be able to be in Portland within
10 days.
Mr.. Winslow replied yesterday after
noon that the committee would be named
at once, but asking for as early lnforma-
ton as possible regarding the probable
time when Mr.. Hays will reach here SO
as to be sure of having every member of
the committee present.
Mr.. Hays is now with Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson On a tour of inspection
of the western portion Of the Grand
Trunk system.
In his letter written "On the Road"
MI. Hays did not refer to Portland pro-
position except in general terms. Mayor
Baxter and Mr.. Winslow will act together
in this matter.
Mr.. Hays suggested that the Portland
parties might wish to meet the officers
of the Grand Trunk in Montreal, but
Mr.. Winslow is of the opinion that it
would be better for Mr.. Hays as the re-
preventative of the Grand Trunk to come
here.
There seems to be no doubt that some
plan will be agreed upon for the build
ing of the elevator. In the meanwhile
work is being pushed as rapidly as posi-
bio on the Grand Trunk wharf extension.

The yachts of the Portland Yacht
Club came In one at q time yesterday
from Boothbey. The Gwendolin, Capt.
Owen was the5frst to return, the Dorothy
Q. being close second. Many of the
yachtsmen were forced by pressure of
business to leave the feet at Boothbay.
The Lena was caught in a dead balm
about three miles this side of Seguin
and the captain was very glad to accept
the offer of tow from the captain of a
passing steamer. The sea was very rough
and the pa ssage from Boothbay to Port
land most unpleasant one.
| j. ". Trefethen reported the arrival of
the schooner Storm King yesterday with
5000 pounds of cod aud haddock, and the
Robert and Carr with 6, 600 pounds of
mixed fish. The Brine and Bessie
brought in 4, 500 and the Herman Resting
| 4, 900 Holsters
| Two members of the crew Of the BRINE
and Bessie had close call Sunday
night. The schooner was tied up at
Commercial wharf and the men went to
bed early. They had a coal fire in the
stove and the cover, was half off. The
damper dropped down and to make mat
tiers worse the night being chilly they
| drew the slide completely over.
| Yesterday morning Capt. Over called
the men; receiving no response went for
ward and called them second time. He
then drew back the slide and fell back
sick and faint, the rush of gas being al
most too much for him. AS soon as he
could do SO with safety be went below
and dragged the men up into the fresh
air.
The younger of the two revived slight
ly but he was unable to stand, while the
other man was almost entirely uncon-
scious and remained SO.
A physician was called and at last sue
ceeded in bringing them around all right,
but it was close call. Capt. Overs
prompt action saved their lives. Had
they remained below but short time
| longer both man must have died. They
recovered sufficiently to go out with the
schooner when Capt Over sailed in the
afternoon.
The new steamer Pilgrim is expected
here some time Wednesday.

swell line will go into effect juno 20.

CAR CURTAIN SUIT,
Adams and westlake Co Sue the e. T.
Burrowes Co.

The Adams g. Westlake company of
Chicago has fled an equity suit in the
United States Circuit court against the
e. T. Burrowes company. for an alleged
infringement of patent on a car curtain
which the Chicago house has been manu-
featuring for a number OF years. These
curtains are used extensively all over the
country. In this section the device is
used on the open street cars of the
Portland Railroad company. The Bur-
rowes curtains are now in use on the cars
Of the Portland & Cape Elizabeth electric
line. The subpoenas were issued few
days ago, but owing to the stress of bust
ness it is not likely that the case will be
heard foS year..
IS. W. Bates Of this city and the firm of
6. H. and W. T. Howard of Washington,
DC, appear as counsel for the plaintiffs,
while the Portland firm of Symonds
Snow & Cook and L. S. Bacon of Wash
ington, D. c., have been retained by the
defense.
The Adams & Westlake company has
notified the Portland and Cape Elizabeth
company of the fling of the suit. Super
intendent Mcleod states that the curtains
were purchased with the cars of the J.
III. Jones Car company, no specification
having been made as to what kind of a
curtain should be used. He will COM
lnunicate with the E. T. Burrowes COM
pany, who will probably give bond pro-
veoting the railway company from loss.
The curtains in question are operated in

Cycling Dress.


Daisy Dean asks what Is the most
appropriate cycling dress, and of what
should 1t be made. Answer: Tho most
sensible and becoming cycling costume
is a moderately short skirt, shirt waist,
blazer or jacket and well-ftting high
shoes. or. II low shoes are worn, a pair
of trim overgaiters. A corset waist
should be worn, as, of course, the reg
ular corset is not approved by any good
authority. One sensible wheelwoman
wears opera-length hose of black, a
short petticoat of black satin, moder
ately full and buttoned together in the
middle so as to give the effect of full
trunks. The skirt and Jacket are of
rough-surfaced Priestley cravenette.
There is vest Of black satin provided
to wear with it, also shirt waists and
blouses, when desired. A sailor hat
and thick gloves complete what is vot-
ed as one of the most practical outfits
OF the season, One advantage of the
material is that it is strictly rain
proof.

Gowns OF Lilac Cloth.

1t is only fair, after so long period
of swan-waisted creatures, with belts
pulled half way down over the natural
line of the hips. that things should
take a turn" and the fetching little
round-waisted - yes, short-waisted -
woman should have show. Under
this new regime even the rippled
basques do not dismay her. They only
add emphasis to the shortness Of the
waist and give dash and chic to the
figure. And now that the sleeves are
less enormous, another item In her
favor, she looks anything but "dumpy."
The waist must always be trimty
built and encircled with a we'll lifting
belt, one that will tend to lessen the
appearance of the natural size, instead
of, as so many unfortunate belts do,
make it look much larger than it real
ly is. 1t is neither safe nor good taste
to wear too light-colored a belt upon
dark gown. A black belt is always the
more kind friend, SO far as
compass goes. Light ones, however,
are comparatively safe wnen worn with
a light-colored gown. Then the con-
trast will not be so noticeable. The girl
with the wasp waist may wear the
white or gilt belt to her hearts satis-
faction, but who would exchange with
her, for she has grown awfully passc?
A charming gown Of lilac cloth, with
a rough surface, has trimmings of fine
round black cord, set on in rows. The
skirt is severely plain, though full OF
whirls and godets and smartly stiff
ened to set out about the feet. The
ripple jacket opens In pointed fashion
across the front to show vest of white
satin overlaid with closely set
rows of black cord. The lower arm OF
