the events will be hotly contested A large
number Of athletes have been in training
several weeks past and are now in pink
of condition. The boys are all anxious
to make good showing as their work
next Saturday will indicate to certain
extent what the chances of the team will
be at the interscholastic meet, which oc-
| ours at Brunswick on June Sth.
Besides the regular events on the pro-
gramme there will be an exciting relay
race between a High School team and
one representing the Portland & Cape

the training expenses of the team have
been heavy and the boys need funds to
enable them to send a good team to
Brunswick.

be a relay race of four men, each man
running quarter mile, between the
four best men in the High school, and a
team from the P. & c. E. r. R., con-
