The Portland Cadets-EO Whom IL Way



On June 10th, 1873 the Portland Cadets
were challenged by Co. E. Bowdoin Cadets, for
the championship of the State, and possession
of the flag given by the City of Portland, July
4th, 1872. In the regulations established by the
City Government, through committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, may be found the foi-
lowing: ''The company winning the flag On
this occasion July 4th, 1922, to hold the
same, subject to challenge by and military COM
pany duly organized under the laws of the
State" The Portland Cadets claimed that, at
the date of the challenge, or its reiteration
June 18TH, Co. E. Bowdoin Cadets were no
military company duly organized under the
laws of Maine" and consequently did not &C
cept the challenge. The Portland Cadets have
always believed that military companies only
could challenge for the flag, and if the Port
land Cadets lost the flag, they themselves
could never by the regulations. challenge for 1t
again. Hence our reply to Co. E. s challenge
Co. E B. G. now claim the flag because OF
non acceptance Ct their challenge The Port
land Cadets, desiring that the difficulty be set
tied at once, and believing that the committee
at whose hands the flag was received. alone
have the right to investigate and decide the
matter, have in meeting assembled passed the
following resolutions
Resolued, That the Portland Cadets to hereby
place the emblem of the State championship in
the possession of the committee from whom tt
was received and respectfully request that said
committee investigate and decide whether or
not the Portland Cadets are at the present
time entitled to hold the same.
Resolued, That the Portland Cadets will abide
by the decision of the committee
