The free-for-all race which was to
have been pulled off at Hallowell yes
ter.lay afternoon and in which several
Augusta horses were to have started,
was given up on account of the ex-
IRENE cold weather. No one would have
cared to remain out on the river to see
the race and it would have been bitter
work for the drivers. The race has been
given up, but it is expected that an
other series of events will be arranged
for the coming week, and also that
there will be a larger field OF starters
than there would have been yesterday.

1t Is interesting from time TO time
to note the progress OF the plans for
the biennial meeting Of the General
Federation of Women's Cubs in Bos-
ton next June. Mrs. Sarah Platt

OF the Play Day" committee. and It
has been decided that as a change
from the heavy work OF the conven.
tion the ladies will take a day on. go
down to Newport, have a sail on IN,
bay and a clam bake. Nothing could
be better for the many club women
who will come from the inland states.
And II is more interesting to note the
statement of Mrs. Philip y. Moore,
first vice president OF the federation.
at the meeting of the New England
Woman's club the other day that Vir-
ginia and Alabama have applied for
admission and now there is only one
state unfederated. Nevada. Virginia
