The work Of Captains Edwards and
Brown, Of Portland, during the regatta
has been most excellent. While all the
local judges have Of course worked splen-
didly, the conduct of the two named Is
especially noticeable as they are visitors
who were pressed into the service at the
last moment and who cheerfully stayed
away from their homes to render much
needed assistance. Since the beginning
of the proceedings ON Monday they have
been most painstaking in their endeavors
to make the affair u success, and their
efforts have not been overlooked.
The following are the events that were
