RloBY IN A SHORT CIRCUIT.
Some Talk of Old Orchard and Dover
Combining In This Way.

There is some talk of the Rigby, Oh
Orchard and the Dover tracks forming a
short circuit and carrying ont pre-.
gramme of light harness meets during the
summer months. 1t is claimed shat nany
horses will he entered for these meetings
and that under proper management the
scheme can be made to pay. The matter
will probably be definitely decided within
few weeks.
The Rigby people still have hopes OF
securing grand circuit meet here in
September and have left an open date
for this purpose. They think that they
may be able to secure meeting at Rigby
after the grand circuit programme il
finished.
1t has not yet been decided who will ao
as Rigby's manager this Season. 1t Is
possible that no manager will be selected
the affairs Of the track being admin
istered by board of directors.
Rigby track will probably be un
covered earlier this year than usual ant
may become the headquarters for ONE o.
the well known trainers. Jere O'Nei
says that if the track is put in condition
earli er enough he and some others will
bring their strings down here and dt
their training on Rigby's track.

IMPORTANT TO PORTLAND.
Thompson Line WIN he Pioneers In
summer steamship Service,

1t cannot be ascertained at this time
whether or not the Allan line intends to
put on o fortnightly summer steamship
service between this port and Glasgow.
but it Is an assured fact that the Thomson
line will run weekly steamship service
here.
This is largely an experiment with the
Thomson people, and they have no hest
tation in saying SO. 1t is a question open
to debate whether this service can lie
maintained by the Thomson people with
out loss to themselves during the sum-
mer. They are the pioneers in this sum-
mer service and the result of their ex
pertinent will.be waited with considerable
anxiety by the people OF Portland.
"This summer service would certainly
be made to pay for ITSELF" a steamship
agent here told PRESS reporter sun
day, providing return carRoes could be
obtained for this port. If all Portland
and Maine and New Hampshire mer-
chants and manufacturers who now in-
port largely through Boston and New
York, and even by the way Of Montreal
In the summer time would patronize this
summer service to Portland the line
would be self supporting and in the end
would surely add greatly to the business
of this port. II the Thomson line succeeds
In this experiment, which they are under
taking in the face Of great obstacles,
there will be other summer lines estab-
lished here. Every one knows what this
means to Portland, and 1t seems to me
that If importers in this section of the
country realized the Importance of
patronizing this pioneer service, the ex-
pertinent would prove satisfactory from
the start"
There Is some talk of the Portland
board of trade stirring this matter up
throughout Maine and interesting all i'm
porters In the state in this undertaking
which means so much to this city and
to the state at large.

A SMALL ICE 5 TORN.

An ice storm of small proportions yes
terday afternoon coated the trees. the
wires and the sidewalks with ice. The
progress of the street cars was marked by
beautiful pyrotechnic displays caused by
the ice on the trolley wires, the telephone
and telegraph wires became crossed and
ans slid or orawled carefully along thu
sidewalks which were dangerously slip
perry. The street department had teams
out sanding the principle thoroughfares
early in the evening. The fire alarm

during the evening and the churches were

GOOD LIVING.
DIR. smith Bakers Evening Sermon NJ
wilIiston Church.

DIR. Smith Baker gave his second OF n
series of evening sermons upon the esd
Psalm last evening upon the words. "He
leadeth me IN green pastures. DIR.
Baker said In part: Good living Is n
necessity, and hence a duty. God recog-
nizes this in the bountiful supply he has
provided for the nourishment of all his
creatures. Every good fother loves to
feed his children we'll. There is JOY in
satisfying the appetite of hungry child.
1t is pleasure to see healthy boy eat.
Every man should feed himself well with
enough and with that which is good.
There is gospel as well as sense in the old
maxim. 1t is better to pay the butcher
than the doctor Good living should
not be an end Tut means. He who lives
we'll as an end simply ministers to his
animal nature, but good living Is that
the brain and heart many have strength
for the best lwork. A dyspeptic body
produces dyspepsia soul. Good health
is necessary not only to the best men tai
work but to the best Christian living.
The dining room should be one Of the
most pleasant rooms in the house. He
gave them fresh food, not old stale. with
cred dry, musty, hay. So th3 good house
wife provides for her children. 60 God
gives to the students of nature something
new every morning. Thus Christ gives
to His people new breath all the time.
So every teacher and preacher should give
to his people not cid dry, lessons but mix
up the truth in new forms, thus the
Christian life is constantly new to the
redeemed soul. The shepard gave them
tender food, suited to the youngest and
weakest. Thus the good house wife puts
upon the table something for the baby
and for grandfathers as well as for the
strong man. Preachers should do this al
so. Not make all their sermons for cul-
turei men and women but remem Der the
children and the uneducated.
God has done this in His book, 1t is q
green pasture field of tender truth fer
weakest hearts. Thus God provides for
the restless hunger of the human soul.
