It embraced a complete set of fifty-cent pieces, two or three proof sets and many rare coins, some of them having cost the owner $5 and $10 each. When closing the cottage for the season MT. Hemingway should have removed his valuable coins, and he Is sorry now he did not do so.

Horse Tracks Being Put in Condition for Next Season-VaIuabIe Collection of Coins Lost in Burglary of n Short Beach CottnSe-Other News.

The local horse owners will have fine
 opportunity to trot their horses next year. N w. Alling, who has leased Riverside park for five years, is greatly improving the track, which was a short half mile. The posts have been set out ten feet and the area is being filled, giving a full half-mile course. Fossil bly, the improvements will not be com pleted this month; if not, the work will be finished in the spring.
 MT. Fiske of Chicago, proprietor of the Branford trotting park, is to have that track in splendid condition next spring. Local horse owners say that It is now fine track. It is reported that MT. Fiske intends to connect the driv- ing park with the Shore Line railroad by means of spur track, and that spe- cial trains will be able to run from Union station to the park in twenty minutes. Weekly trots will be held next season and the Fair Haven horsemen will no doubt avail of the privileges of this fine track.
 Superintendent w. A. Waterbury of the Shore Line road, who with his wife, made a trip to Virginia recently, speaks highly of the outing. He went as far south as Norfolk and stopped over in He says business is good all along the line of the Jersey Central and Norfolk and Western roads, over which he rode.

HANDSOME SERIES OF RAILWAY
LITERATURE

We have received from the Grand
Trunk Railway system copies of their
tourist publications for the season of
1899, which are being circulated
throughout the country with a view to
making known the magnificent districts
reached by this vast railway system.
The publications are full of interest
the text giving graphic and concise de-
scriptions of the regions in northern
Ontario, including the Muskoka lakes
Lake of Bays, Magnetewan river and
the 1000 islands of Georgian bay. The
pamphlets are profusely illustrated
with half-tone reproductions of river,
lake and inland scenery, with here and
there a deer hunting picture, or some
fishing scene that makes one long for
summer and the holidays.
The several pamphlets bristle with
pointers for the tourist, camper, hunt
er and angler, and copies should be OBJ
tanned before deciding on next sum
mer's outing. A postal card to w. f.
