The box sheet for reserved seats for
the lecture recital to be given at the
Lawton Memorial by Edward Baxter
Perry, the blind pianist, Jan. 20, will
be opened at McArthur's music house
on Whitaker and President streets,
next Friday morning. Persons who
have already secured their tickets may
take them there and exchange them
for reserved seat tickets. Considering
his total blindness, Mr.. Perry is re-
markable pianist. The short sketches
that he gives before playing each num-
Der on his programme, explaining the
feelings and ideas that were running
through the mind of the composer as
he wrote, are very interesting and in
structive to his listeners, and from an
attractive feature of the programme.
MIR. Perry will be assisted in his con-
cert by Mrs. w. II. Teasdale. who will
sing several numbers. This will add
much to the pleasure of the pro-
gramme. as there are many persons
who greatly admire the rich quality of
Mrs. Teasdale's voice.

did Condition.

Yesterday. Railroad Commissioners
Chadbourne and Spofford made a tour
of the various branches of the Augusta
Winthrop & Gardiner Railroad, and
pronounced the same in excellent condi-
| ton.
They first went over the Winthron
branch. leaving the junction of State
street shortly before 10 O'clock in the
splendid car of the company, Marano-
cook. They found this branch in a SUI
| perior condition, the most of the track
having been ballasted with crushed
rock. Returning to Augusta, they left
for Togus at - o'clock, where dinner
was had. at the Home restaurant and
where they were shown about the
grounds by Governor Allen and Ma ior
Smith.
The car reached Augusta at 2 o'clock
and then the run was made to Gardiner
and return. Supt. Taylor of the COM
pany. Col. E. C. Harrington and George
F. Giddings of the commissioners office,
and representative of the Journal
were of the party.
In speaking about the road, Commits
sioner Chadbourne said that the Win
throp branch was fine piece of work.
the territory being better adapted to
the construction and operation of an
electric railroad than either the Togus
or Gardiner branches. That is a good,
substantial road" said Mr.. Chadbourne.
The alignments are excellent and there
are few steep grades. The rails are
heavy and the road bed far superior to
the average electric roads. The Togus
line is also good one, but not quite so
good as the road to Winthrop
Supt. Taylor said that the highest
grade on the Togus line was per cent.
This grade is at Pleasant hill, between
the Cony road and the Home. Rines
hill grade is II per cent; Quarry hill, G
per cent, and Loudont hill, s to s per
cent 1t will be understood that II per
cent means rise of II feet to the 100,
or 5S0S0 feet to the mile. So it will be
seen that in building the Winthrop
branch the company was able to
avoid more heavy grades there than
they could do on the other lines.
