Ball Grand Stand at the
Fair Ground Burned.
Cause Unknown, Though May
Have Been a Cigar Stub.
q Loss About $500NCovered by Blanket
Insurance Policy.

large number of citizens of the
CITY were disturbed, Wednesday morn
ing. in their slumbers by the ringing
or the alarm bell and the galloping
over the pavements of the teams of
the horses of the fire department. A
gentleman who was driving to Oak
land at about 2.45 o'clock, saw bright
blaze at the grounds of the Central
Maine fair. Satisfied that property was
being consumed, Box. 80 was broken
into and the news of the fire transmit
ted to the ears of the sleeping men of
the fire department. BY the time when
the hose teams had reached the dis.
tant part of the city, however the new
grand stand was practically consumed.
None of the other buildings were in
danger at any time during the fire, so
say the firemen. although if the wind
had been blowing much more fiercely,
il is easy to surlnise that greater dam
age might have been done.
The property. which was valued Mt
about $50U was owned. as are all o.
the buildings on the grounds, by the
Waterville & Oakland Street Railway
Co.. and is protected by blanket insur-
ance.
The mystery concerning the most
probable cause of this fire has formed
one of the principal topics of CONVEX
satiOn since the destruction of the
building became known. 1t is not
thought that the fire was incendiary,
as had it been kindled by malicious
agent. it would have probobly been set
in a place where the harm would have
been more serious. The grand stand is
the least valuable of any of the build
i:iss on the fair grounds and can
quickly be replaced.
1t is thought that the fire started
from a lighted cigar thrown in the
grass at some time during the after
noon baseball practice and had been
creeping toward it's pray during the in
tervening hours before it was diScov-
cred. This is the only theory, unreal
sonable as it seems, in view of the
winds which must have famed it.
which has been invented.
This accident. happening at this par
ticular time in the year. is most unfOr-
tunate for the ball players of the city.
The Coburn games We're all arranged
to be played at this place in view of
the excellent advantages offered both
for sight seeing and playing. Doubt
less the plans in this respect will not
be changed. but it is feared that the
gate receipts will be considerably di
ninished.
A few of the officers Of the Central
Maine Fair Association, looked over
the scene of the fire at the fair
grounds, "Wednesday morning, and de-
cidcd to rebuild the gi1ndstand in
little different station from that whe'e
the former Was located. The new
structure with the consent of the
other officers of the association will be
built nearer to the race track and to
face in 4 more westerly direction.
