Buildings at Piscaiaquis County
Fair 6founds Destroyed.
Horsemen Barely Escape and Save
Valuable Trotting Horses.

Dover. Me, Sept. 23.-lSpecian. DO
of serious fire Wednesday morning
when the greater part of the buildings
at Central Driving park, FoXcroft,
We're burned fiat These included the
horse sheds. where the fire originated,
the dancing pavilion, the round house,
or exhibit hall, and a portion Of the
fence enclosing the park Several men
were sleeping IN the horse sheds, car
ing for some horses which were enters
ed for the races at the fair Friday and
Saturday. They escaped with the horses
from the burning building but the
greater rart of their clothes and their
money was burned.
The fire originated amongst the
straw i'll a portion of the sheds which
was not occupied, SO that it is thought
that 1t was set by an incendiary. The
fire quickly spread to the nearby build
ings. Fortunately there was no breeze
and the houses in that vicinity, the
grandstand, the ticket office and the
Judges stand We're saved. The park is
outside the fire district and by the
time a stream of water was obtained
the buildings were nearly fiat. Water
was obtained from the Macgregor spool
mil, 1850 feet of hose being used.
Central Driving park is owned by the
Piscataquis Trotting Park association
and the Piscataquis Agricultural Asso-
citation had a 10-years lease OF it. The
fire was very unfortunate, as ire annual
fair of the association was booked to
take place Friday and Saturday of this
week. The association assures the pub
lie however. that the fair will not be
postponed and everything Will take
place as advertised with the exception
Of the hail exhibits, which will be
emitted. The d .,bris from the fire was
ell cleared away Wednesday forenoon
an'i Il crew WAS at work rebuilding the
fence. 1T least IL horse stalls will be up
Jy Thursday night.
The citizens of Dover and FOXcroft
have become generally alarmed owing
10 the many fires which have occurred
during the past few days and night
Watchmen are being employed to keep
IL close watch. AS all of the fires have
started IN such a manner that they
seem of an inccndiary origin it is hoped
that further trouble may be prevented
This was the third fire within four
days OF probably incendiary origin. The
loss WAS $500. The fire started at A.
NJ. in II row of unoccupied and locked
stalls some distance from the occupied
stalls.
Several valuable horses including
Paylinc. owned by Percy Gilman of
WatervIlle. and Miss Lcitha. owned by
t,uM ard Ireland of Bangor, were re-
moved barely in time. There were H."
