o,so favored having The meet in Augusta
He said it was unfair to have the field day
in Bangor, as it would cost the Portland

,,ended for trainer. would make his team
hetter prepared to cope with the other
,cbools. Bangor, he said. would not have to
nav one cent for travelling expenses, and
With the money thus saved could hire two
=, three trainers. The vote stood Bangor.
