RACE TRACK ITEMS.

We recently saw old Lucky Strike, 2174,
on the streets of Belfast being driven by
his owner, Henry Gentnef of Belfast, and
one would think him a 3 year old, he was
tossing his head and all ready for brush
at a moments notice-Turf Farm and
Home.
Among the entries for the races at the
Central Maine fair in Waterville next week
are The Master, Dolly Directum, Chapel
Bells, Ora Drew, Isabel and Elm Bud from
Pearl Brook Stock Farm, Belfast; Bobby
Wilkes by L. L, Gentner, Belfast; and Mil
dred B. by W. S. Edminster, Frankfort.
The Bangor Daily News says of the 2.3O
class race at the Eastern Maine fair:
Five starters were out for the money in
the 80 class. Mildreth B, the speedy gray
mare, the entry of Robert Evans of Belfast,
took the first heat easily. In the second
heat while rounding the lower turn, she
was caught in her hopples, went down as if
shot, throwing her driver over her head 1t
was an ugly-looking tumble, but neither
horse nor driver was injured. Evans logged
her down the stretch when the next heat
was called and there was long and loud
wave OF sympathetic applause. Although
declared distanced, the driver asked to be
allowed to start again and the crowd offered
similar suggestion to the Judges. The propo-
objected, and Mildreth went back to the
stable while the crowd Kissed and said
mean things about the other drivers. But
the crowd was not Interested to such an eX-
tent in a financial way as the men behind
the horses.

THE HACKETT MURDER CASE.

READFIELD DEPOT, Me-, Aug 81. An
other day has passed and no arrest has been
made in the Hackett murder case, and it is
now quite generally understood that no
further action will be taken for ten days
Detective Hartnett is said TO have the case
well in hand, and that only the signal is
needed for act ion.
Today bit of interesting information
comes from Belmont, Me-, which states
that on the day following the Hackett muir
der a man by the name of Cunningham
went to that place to visit relatives. This
man told acquaintance that he was in
Readtield on the night of the murder and
while driving on the Winthrop road near
the Iackett house saw two persons stand
ing behind the stone wall only few feet
from the scene Of the murder
Cunningham stated that while he was of
the impression that both were men, he
would not say positively but that one was Il
woman. Cunningham is described as about
% years Old, slim build, smooth face and
well dressed. lie claimed d residence in
Lewiston.
The authorities are now searching for the
mysterious Cunningham, but hold to one
theory alone, and that is that Matte Hack
EFT was murdered by a woman, who may
have had a male accomplish. The Ray
monds are under close surveillance.

ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD.
Bangor Wants its Own Line to the Seaport
Line.

BANGOR, Me-, August 80. \ syndi-
cate of business men, it is understood,
is about to be formed for the purpose
OF building railroad from the central
part OF Bangor to a connection with
the new Seaport line, which runs
through the western part of the city,
four or five miles distant.
When the Seaport enterprise was
first announced, a committee of mer-
chants waited upon officials of the
road, asking that the line be extended
into Bangor. THIS the Seaport officials
felt obliged TO decline, not caring to en-
croach upon the Maine Centrals terri
tory, and as Il next resort 10 secure
| connection with the new road the com
mittee asked the Maine Central to
grant to the Seaport trackage privileges
from near Hermon Center, where it
crosses the Maine Central to Bangor,
with the expectation that, should the
request be granted, the Seaport might
have its own local freight depot here.
The Name Central refused a few days
ago to grant the request, aud now, it IS
sad, the merchants propose to form a
company for the purpose of building a
line OF their own to connect with the
Seaport. In the event Of this enter
prise succeeding, as there is every rea
son to expect that it will, the Seaport,
or Bangor x Aroostook, will have di-
| rect access tO the central part of Ban
goT, and a roundhouse and freight and
passenger station will be erected in a
convenient locality
This arrangement would be of great
benefit to Bangor in many ways, afford
ing among other things, quick and con-
venient route to the summer resorts on
the west side of Penobscot bay and
river as far as Cape Jellison, which in
cludes the famous Fort Point. The
new line would enable Bangor business
men to spend the night at bay resorts,
and get back to the city early in the
morning, the trip occupying only about
one hour

is played by taking two horses from the
carts and fastening hide rope three or
four yards long by either end to elm

horses body. Then the rider mounts
his animal, the horses are turned tail
to tail and whipped and sometimes
spurred till the blood streams down

horse-pulls the other beyond

but nothing more than a wrestling

Trains to Run in October,

An exchange says that the line of the
Northern Maine Seaport Railway is practi-
cally completed from South Lagrange to
Glenburn on the upper end and practically
all graded from Hermon to Stockton
Springs. Work Is progressing rapidly al
though it is being retarded somewhat on
account of the putting in of the bridges. 1t
is expected that work trains may be able to
get over the road by the first of October but
it will probably be October Is or 20 before
it will be in condition for other trains to
go over it. There is an immense amount of
work yet to be done in the way Of track
laying and ballasting of the road to get it
in condition for the coming winter but the
next six or eight weeks will see a vast
difference in the appearance of it.

Is THIS a FISH STORY?

Hon. y. |, Brown, deputy secretary
of State, W no is passing the sumuler
days outside of business hours at Cob
bosseecont ee, is a devout disciple of
everything piscatorial ard has devoted
not little time to looking up the rec
ord of the lake as a fishing ground. His
research has been very thorough and
he has succeeded in unearthing the
somewhat remarkable fact that as far
as official records go, but one fish has
been taken from the waters of the lake,
and that was IS years ago. The exact
date of the catch has not been learned,
but sometime during the year 1887, one
of the good citizens of the town of
Manchester caught hornpout weigh
ing IA ounces, and the fact was duly
recorded in the books of the town
clerk. This is said to be the only entry
of the kind to be found in the book and
the gentleman quoted above is of the
opinion that the only conclusion to be
drawn is that many of the highly col
ored reports which have been circulated
regarding the catches of recent years
have been decidedly fishy.-Kennebec
