Many people on Lisbon street Tuesday afternoon about 2 o’clock noticed the large tally-ho drawn by five chestnut horses and wondered who the people were.

The horses were arranged in a manner seldom seen here.

There were three leaders abreast and two wheel horses.

A led horse was also in the rear.

The party was Mr. and Mrs. Edward Browning, and wife of Philadelphia, Master Edwards Browning Jr., a maid, coachman and footman.

The party came to Lewiston Sunday from Bar Harbor where Mr. Browning attended the horse show last week.

A survey by The Associated Press has found what appears to be a record dollar amount of rate hike requests now pending before state utility commissions – an estimated $6.2 billion in annual revenues.
