PARK STABLES BURNED.
t're Destroys the Stables at Augusta Driving

The people Of the city were treated
to beautiful illumination. Thursday
evening. but as a result the trotting
park is practically without any stables.
MIS- f. u. Cole discovered a fire in

at once gave the alarm on State street

By the time the alarm was given t

We're accomplished. The stables were
totally destroyed.
The entire lot of stables We're valued
at Sli00; but this included those in the
south corner and in the northeast cor

$500. so the loss is estimated at $1,000.
They We're not insured. The flames are
supposed to have been the work of
tramps, as no other reason can be as

firemen completed their work. and

There was a hearing before the fish and
game commissioners. Thursday morning,
on the advsa bility of closing Lake Cob
bosseecontee 10 bass fishing until June
of each year NesSrs. Whittmore. Bars
tow, Putnam and others of Gardiner. and
F. +. Beane Of Hallowell, appeared in ia
vor of closing the fishing during that
season. while \. VI. Spear Of Caroline.
and Coroner Henderson Of Halloween.
spoke against the petition for closing.
The hearing occupied the greater part
of che forenoon. There was no formal
examination Of witnesses only each man
stated to the commissioners his opinion
in regard TO the matter.
The petitions claim that the bass fish
ing is diminishing in Cobbosseecontee
and they desire that 1t may be protected
The other gentlemen claim that the bass
are as numerous as ever and that Il adds
10 the sport Of trout fishing to be al
lowed TO fish for bass. Furthermore the
claim that the bass is In a measure de-
structive to the trout.
The question is one that is of interes,
to the local fishermen and the opinions
on the matter are about evenly divided.
Some believe that where the gang hook
is used, they are. as in the past. likely 70
hook a bass when trolling for trout. In
that case they do not know what they
are playing until it is too late and tho
| hook has destroyed the bass, so that they
might be doing as much damage as
though they took them out after playing
| rhem.
some believe there should be a certain
restriction placed on the fishing limiting
| the number Of pounds Of fish taken.
The. commissioners will give their de-
ciSiOn later.
