RACES. THIS AFTERNOON.
Whole Programme Tor the Driving Park Car.
ried Forward.

on account of the rain. yesterday
the races at the Augusta Driving Park
were put over until today, when they
win be run off. In spite of the down
pour all the morning, yesterday, the
track is in good condition, considering
the drenchng it received. The horse
owners all agreed. yesterday afternoon,
to keep the trotters over so that there
will be just as good Il string of horses
as if the rain had not occurred.
The only condition on this plan is
that the sun shows itself long enough
say two hours, this morning to dry the
track. Should the weather continue
bad, this morning, and the track re-
main wet and soft. the races will be
set forward another day, to Saturday.
With the exception of the change in
date, there will not be a Single altera-
ton in the program. The flyers will be
out in full force and some of the best
races that have been seen so far in the
State will be trotted off.
Prof. Wilson and Prof. Shaw, the
colored South Troubadours. will enter
tain from the stage and the Augusta
Band will help take up the time be-
tween heats.

Bay Rum Gone BY.

"The demand for bay rum is slowly
passing" said a downtown barber. yes
terday. In fact it is so seldom we use
it now. There was q time, a few years
ago, when all that we used after shaw
ing was bay rum. Then came witch
hazel. | remember that ] tried it Just
for an experiment. the first time. and
the customer could not say enough in
its praise. | bought more and used it
just for my special customers. In Il
short time every one began to want it,
Then witch hazel was expensive. We
paid so cents Cor a small bottle 1t
was not very long before the price
dropped, then we began to use it more
and more. Now 1t is seldom that we
ever use anything else. Once and a
while a customer came in and asks for
bay rum, but it is so seldom that we
do not pretend to keep it on our
shelves
20, yes, something new comes in,
every week. and we give it trial. but
We return to witch hazel as that suits
our customers better than anything
else.

A Correction.
10 kcnnehec Lnnrnal:

Editors of the kennebec Journal:
VIII you be kind enough to correct a
statement made in your paper recently
In the item announcing the decision of
Secretary of State Boyd in the kittcry
contest you gave the result of his deci-
sion in regard to the candidate for rep
resentative, and added that sthe town
committee headed by Hon. Horace Nit
chell was thereby recognized as the town
committee of kittery for the next two
years. This last statement is incorrect
as you can easily learn from the State
committee. who decided in June that the
other committee, should be recognized.
\ circular letter was sent out by the sec
rotary of the State committee making
the correction in the roster, giving the
names of the new committee. We wish
to have the matter made plain.
Very truly yours,
ERNEST l.. CHANEY.

The Railroad Situation.

The railroad development in Northern Arkansas is described as follows by Willard E. Winner in the Manufacturers Record:
 ''The railroad is being built in three sections from Eureka Springs to Batesville, Ark. The first section, from Eureka Springs to Harrison, is being built by the St. Louis and North Arkansas Railway Company, and is now under construction, the second section, from Harrison to Buffalo City, is being built by the North ern Central Railway Company, and the third section, between Buffalo City and Batesville, has been surveyed by the Missouri Pacific Railway Company or some auxiliary company, and the work will probably commence on it soon. As understand it, there is no rivalry among the three companies, but when the three sections are completed they will probably be operated as one road.
 We have a contract to build fifty miles for the Northern Gen. tral. The first section of the road, from Eureka Springs to Harrison, passes through a rough country and several ranges of the Ozark Mountains. Toward Harrison it runs into some lead and zinc country; between Harrison and Buffalo City the whole distance the road will pass through zinc country with considerable lead and other minerals; also through some fine marble quarries and good upland pine and oak timber country. Marion county is gen. orally considered the center of the zinc country of North Arkan- sas although there are good mines in the adjoining counties.
 There has been comparatively little ore taken out of the country owing to the lack of transporta- tion, the mines being from sixty to eighty miles from railway. Ore taken from the mines in develop ment is usually hauled to White river and shipped to Batesville. The ore runs from S2 to S3 a ton better in quality than that taken from the mines at some other points. The railroad will pass through the center of a country POO miles square, now untouched by railroad, containing fourteen counties, with present population of over 200, ,O0O. e
