ENTRIES COMING SLOWLY.
Probability That Rigby's Special Racer
Next Will be Declared Off.

The prospect of races at Rigby next
week is rather discouraging. After the
June races were declared off the Rigby
management had no idea of opening the
track till the August meeting, but
week ago it was rumored that Combina-
ton park was to give up its meeting next
week, and some of the horsemen wrote
to Manager Libby and suggested that he
get out programme Of class events for
that week.
The suggestion was followed but Com
bination has since come out with an
at tractive entry list.
The Rigby entries closed yesterday.
They have been coming in so slowly. that
last night the prospect of filing enough
classes to make it worth while to hold
the meeting was anythingsbut promising.
The managers will not come to decis-
ion on the matter before tomorrow, as it
is barely possible that enough entries
mailed before the hour of closing may
come in. With Combination as a rival
Rigby's chances on special meeting are
slim, as most horsemen: would prefer to
patronize the short circuit of Massachu-
sett tracks, thereby saving the expenses
OF freighting their horses SO miles.

LAST EVENING ON WESTERN
PROMENADE

Those who were fortunate enough to be
On Western Promenade last evening at
sunset and a little before say the view
was unsurpassed. The atmosphere was
remarkably clear and the mountains
stood out clean cut against the horizon. 1t
was food tide and the river rejecting
hack the pink and azure of the sunset
sky, the green fields and forests darkening
in the waning light. the ragged outline
of the mountains against the soft summer
skies made picture which compelled
the admiration of the most careless. The
hill was covered with bi3yclists and all
were compelled to stop many times and
drink in the charming panorama spread
ont before them.

Ihe following report of the railroad
work which was submitted at this meet
ing will give an idea of the work done az
the Union Station: The report submitted
at this time covers the work of six weeks,
from Monday June 30 to Monday, July
10.
During that time .85 persons or parties
have been helped to find trains or by car
rying bundles, running for hot water for
babies, getting baggage checked, ETC.
Thirty women ana three children have
been put up at the home. The most OF
these have paid for their lodgings though
this WAS sometimes impossible, notably
in the case of a young woman who had
lost, or had had stolen, her pocket book
with all her money and checks; also in
the case of a very young girl travelling
from a convent in Canada to Biddeford,
who must have reached the city at
o'clock in the morning. At other times
we have taken less than the % cents
when the lodger's means were small.
The larger part Of those lodged We're trav-
ellers resting for night, the next larger
number girls seeking work in our city
few were from the islands or for other
reasons DESTROYS of a nights lodging.

But figures tell little. The bundles car

the real help rendered. There are SO many
breaking hearts among those waiting fol
trains at the station; SO many tired,

ELECTRIC LIGHTING IN DEERING

The heading in the PRESS of Saturday
over the report Of the meeting of the
Deering city council which credited the
council with voting a contract with the
new company, was not borne out by the
text of the report. What the council
actually did was to lay the contract ON
the table, though the friends of the new
company claim that there was an under
standing that the contract would be 40
cepted when bond for its faithful per-
Torrance was furnished
The statement in yesterdays PRESS in
the Westbrook news that Mr.. G. B. New
comb of that city had received letter

A CORRECTION.

Mr.. Samuel Hodgdon, who owned the
boat that was upset Saturday in the har-

The young man held up deprecat-
ing hand.
"Please, he said. "Please do not
call him ill names. He was my father,
you know"
Impulsive Bessie was conquered in
a moment.
81 beg your pardon. really dol"
she exclaimed. 'It was outrageous of
me to speak SO. OF course, 1 was al
ways brought up to hate the confed-
crates.
"And yet," remarked Mr.. Carroll,
"there were many brave patriots and
gallant gentlemen among those con-
federates. After all, you see, to the
average southerner the confederate
cause appealed quite as strongly as did
that of the union to your friends in
the north" This was all said very
quietly. Indeed, Mr.. Carroll appeared
to be decidedly quiet, but none the
less decided individual.
Yes, asserted Bessie, anxious TO
make amends, 81 suppose that is true.
1 never looked at it in that light be-
fore. And now allow me to clear a
space, so that you can lay your wreath
on the marble.
She did not offer to take away her
own flowers, but deftly made room for
the wreath of the captains son. When
he had reverently placed it under his
fathers name, he said: II come here
with wreath whenever 1 happen to
be in London. My name is Alan Cor
roll, and you, since you are our cousin,
belong probably to my mothers peo-
pie. Her name was Elizabeth
Downes."
Bessie's blue eyes opened widely.
"Why. that is my name" she said.

"Your cousin" exclaimed the young

Once more was Bessie staggered.
Mechanically she opened her purse
and found the crumbled telegram from
her father. Mechanically she COM

At last she spoke.

A Notable Day.

The Memorial Day procession has
come to be regarded as an annual event
equal in importance to Independence
Day. 1t is the only day of the year
in the civil calendar in which United
States troops regularly join with the
citizen soldiers, the Grand Army and
others, in celebration that is purely
that of the civilian, for the militiaman
is looked upon in the same light as the
civilian, according to the ethics ofthe
regular army. Each year these pro
cessions show more clearly than all
else the fact that the ties which bind
the north and the south together as one
country are steadily growing stronger
and stronger. Ten years ago, to see
man wearing the confederate gray
marching in the Memorial Day process
sion, would have been considered al
most sacrilege. To-day it isnot only
notunusual but a welcome event to
the Grand Army posts, composed OF
the very men who fought SO long against
an enemy thus clothed.

The Memory of the Dead.

There are few influences so hallowed
to the living as the memory of the
dead. They make good men better;
sometimes they make bad men good.
1t is grateful and benefcent GUS
tom which has been established of de-
voting one day in the year especially
to the commemoration of the virtues
of the dead. Their memory comes to
us, hidden or unbidden. 1t comes
with the morning light; it comes with
the evening shades; it comes in the
stiffness of the night. Whenever it
comes it is always welcome and pre-
cious. Indeed, one of our chief COM
partnerships, which we cultivate and
enjoy more almost than any other, is
the recollection of those we have loved
and lost.
In the formal appropriation Of
Memorial Day, however, to the decor
alton of graves, there is manifest,
outward sign of respect which is
seemly and in keeping with our ever
present feeling of affection for those
who have gone before us. Many i'm
prove it by carrying flowers to the
spot where their loved ones lie; all
improve it by recalling in more vivid
fancy the forms and qualities of the
sleepers we sigh in vain for the power
to awaken,
