One thing is certain: 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis. if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising too, that
bad colds are so often neglected when
one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is always
prompt and effectual, and costs but a
trife; rs or so cents is trife as COM
pared with the disastrous effects of a
neglected cold. Mr.. Abner Mercer of
Dilworthtown, Chester County, Pa, in
speaking of this remedy, said: ''Some-
time ago I had bad cold and cough.
1 tried almost everything. Finally Mr..
Hunt, the druggist, recommended Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and one so
cent bottle of it cured me entirely" For

oraad Plans for Next Season Arranged.

A meeting of the directors of the Maine
Mile Track Association was to have &C.
poatpored on account of the absence Of

called for the purpose OF considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of the association
taking control of the grand stand al

controlled it's receipts for the past three
years according to contract, but now
that their contract has expired, the asso-
citation has the option of purchasing ii

way to continue to manage it. 1t is very
likely that the directors of the assooia-
ton will vote to take charge of this
grand stand and purchase it, issuing
bonds in payment. This will give the
association full control of the buildings
and all of the receipts of Rigby Park,
and will materially increase the income
and insure its financial success.
A great programme will probably ba
arranged at Rigby for the season of 1897.
There will probably be six racing meets
at the park this year, including tive
stake races which are to be held at two
fairs. Dates for the meets have been re-
served by the association for the first
weeks in June, July, August, Ssptem-
Der and October, while the New England
fair If it comes here will probably occur
August 20 to 81.
The annual meeting of the New Eng
land fair stockholders does not occur
until the middle of February and until
then it will not be known whether the
not. 1t is rumored that great effort is
being made by the management of the
new track at Readville, near Boston, to
induce the New England fair to hold It's
meeting there this year. But the New
England fair met with great success at
Rigby in 49, and it is likely that the
fair will return here again this year.
In October the Maine Mile Track As
ISOLATION will hold fair of it's own,
to be open to the world and to be known
as the "Rigby Fair. At this fair will
be seen all kinds of exhibits, horses,
cattle and shows of all kinds besides
many special features. Efforts will be
made to make this fair the greatest ever
held In New England. At this time
will take place the 81, 600 stake races,
which will bring here ali of the best
horses in the country.
Rigby park now holds the world s
record, and as a fast track has world
wide reputation. For this reason the
racing meets this year On the first weeks
in June, July, August and September,
outside of the New England and Rigby
Park fairs, will draw the best animals
in the country to show their speed over
this track and some other world records
may suffer.
On the whole it will prove big year
for Rigby park and Portland will feel
the benefit of it to certain extent
