on the Road.
The Bangor News publishes the following,
but it should be stated that the car described
was built in Belfast the past winter by Fred
v. Cottrell and Joseph G. Patterson:
e. :. ..-WATERvILLE, May 16. The A. O. Lombard
company of this city, manufacturers of the
famous Lombard log hauler, has in its shops
one of the most unique arrangements for a
travelling circus that has ever been seen 1t is
a car for the use of the H. H. Linn dog show.
car 26 feet long and 1-2 feet wide is being
completed for the proprietor of the show, and
is set over gear similar to that which pro-
pels the hauler. By means of this car, which
will be fitted up into comfortable travelling
home, the carts containing the equipage of the
show will be taken from place to place.
A gasolene engine of so horse power will
propel the running gear, and the machine can
travel over any kind of a road at the rate of
four miles an hour. By means of a truck in
front, turned by worm gear, the car can be
steered, and it can also be run in the winter
time, by placing runners in front instead of
the wheels.
4. The car is divided into two parts, the living
quarters and the operating room. In the latter
are repair kits, dynamos and all that is neces-
sary for the mechanical part of the business
dynamo capable of furnishing power for $50
16 candle power lights will supply the illumina-
tion for the car and also for the interior of the
tent when it is set up. Stoves, cupboards, a
refrigerator, flush closet and all the comforts
of home will be found within the car. Folding
cot beds will be used for the night time
Two large wagons have been constructed in
Old Town and these will be drawn by the car
The show will start out the last of May and
opens at North Vassalboro. The unique ar
rangement for transportation is expected to
be one of the chief drawing cards of the show

To The EDITOR of THE JOURNAL: I wish to
correct through your paper misstatement pub
lished in the Waldo County Herald, May 13th
1t says: "They are informed the owners of the
Golden Rod, consisting largely of merchants of
Castine, held a meeting and voted she should
not carry excursions for the Herald" There
are Sc shares of the Golden Rod. When organ
lied, there were two merchants owned one
share each. Since that time one of them
bought three shares. making in all five shares
owned by the two merchants. The owners
never held meeting and voted the boat should
not run excursions for the Herald; many of the
owners were not in favor of the boat taking
cheap excursion, for any one. The merchants
of Castine trade many thousands of dollars in
Belfast every year. The Golden Rod was
bought and put on the route that we might
have better communication with Belfast, which
helps Belfast and Castine. Our gates are open
to all, and we have people from almost every
State in the Union in the summer time; no wall,
but fine harbor and good people.
