RAY III R MAKES
EASTERN DEBUT AT
V.LODaOME SUNDAY
New Star Is Western Champion
and Holds Records Up to
Ten Miles.
NEW cycle racIng star wan b.

NEW cycle racing star will be
~ exhibited at the veioarome Sun
day. Ray Duer, the motor
paced champion Of the West, will clash
with George Wiley, of syracuse, in a
five-inilc motor-Laced race. This will
be Duer S nrst Appearance in the East.
He comes here with a great record.
Besides being the Western champion
Duer is the nolaer of AL records from
one TO ter n lies. inclusive.
When the Westerner meets little
Nney. the "messe ger boy cyciist,' he
is liable to meet a tartar. The rail-
Dir1e at the ve.odrome, md there are
more now than ever be .o.e, are all
picking Wiley. The little fellow is
she ing great form in training, and is
workir faster behind the motors than
Duer.
The Western rider, however. is a
quiet, ~unassuming chap, WHO has lit
tie to say, but there is an unnistak-
able air of confidence about him that
leads one TO believe that he Is pretty
sure of himself and will uncork a great
bundle of speed when the money is up.
While the motor-Iaced ace is a fea-
ture of the card the real big event,
the race that holds the greatest inter-
est for the fans, is the three-mile open
professional, in which Frank Kramer,
Jackie Clarke, Joe Fogler. Floyd Mac
Farland and liver lawson will clash.
Clarke and Lawson, who have failed
to show their class so far this season,
are both going fast now and will be
at their best Sunday. With these rid
ers in form the entire aspect of the
championship situation may be
changed.
Fogler, who looks like the n best
bet just now, will, If he wins again
Sunday, look like the big nan of the
game for all season.
The three-mile OF en- has been limited
to thirty riders. This is the first time
the entry in a big open has been limited
to a certain number This was done
to insure, in a measure, the safety OF
the riders. FUrty-three riders nad
entered, but thirteen were thrown out.
The riders who were barred from the
open will ride in the one-third mile
handicap and the two-mile invitation.
After acquiring all the stars in
America and Australia. Frank Min
and John Chapman, the pro-
motors. do not want to take any
chances OF having any OF them put
of business by a bad spill, This
race is a dollar-a-lap affair, and is
sure to be fast all the way. MacFar-
land and Clarke, who revel in a hot,
fast race, will be at their best in this
event. The two-mile open last Sun
day, while paced, vas not fast enough
to prime Mac" and Jackie for a real
good finish. They will no doubt be
"primed" when they start the dash for
home Sunday, however, in the three
mile.

Are Busy As Bees On Account of New
Regulation for This Month.

Postmssters and clerks are having
busy time during the month of
May. The authorities at Washington
have sent instructions that every
piece of mail shall be counted, time
consumed in handling it, the average
number of pieces handled per minute,
the number of times each piece is
handled of all classes of mail This
shall be done at each mail beginning
May / to May 81. The rural carriers
have to weigh all the mail and keep
a record of each piece. The city car
riers have to count the mail in each
delivery and collection. 1t will not
be strange if the people do not get
their mail as quickly after each train
as heretofore. These regulations
mean a tremendous amount of work
for the clerks. In Tuesdays mail
alone there were 1000 letters and
cards which came in to Skowhegan
and 5000 went out These regula-
tions prevail throughout the United
States.

FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT.
A Big Blaze Was Avoided by Quick
Action of Arthur JeWett.

What might easily have been a very
serious fire for Skowhegan, was dis
covered in the rear of the Milburn
Fruit Company's store at 1915 Sun
day night, and promptly put out by
A Arthur Jewett who brought a
chemical extinguisher from Fogg's
drug store. The fire was discovered
by Mrs. Alice Luce who lives in the
apartment over the store. She was
aroused by the smell of smoke and
Immediately awoke Peter Debe, one
of the proprietors who lives upstairs
in the rear. When he found the store
full of smoke he pulled in an alarm
from Box "a, which brought nearly
everybody in town to the scene. Mean
while Mr.. Jewett had run from his
home on East Front street. and before
the department arrived. made effec-
tive use of the chemical eXtinguish-
er. The fire was then coming up
through a hole in the floor formerly
occupied by a steam pipe. and WAS
mostly on the underside of the floor
ing. There is no cellar under that
part of the building, and the cause
of the fire has not yet been deter
mined. The plate glass windows
were badly cracked during the rush
and excitement.

ST. CECILIA BAND OF LEWISTON
Concert at the Opera House, May II
1911.

Skowhegan has never yet had the
band of Lewiston and our people will
be glad of the chance which now Of
fers
This band is made up of boys be-
tween s and IA years of age, who
have been trained with care and pa
tience, and consummate skill Their
marching is a constant source of in
terest in their home city and their
playing excites everywhere they go
the admiration of those who hear
them.
Nor must one think that the age of
the little musicians incapacitates
them for anything but simple music.
To one who has heard them in con-
cert it would seem that even the
classics have no mysteries for them
In concert recently given in Lew
iston, they executed a program of
considerable difficulty in a way to eli
cit high praise from the musical
critic of the Lewiston Journal. In
Quebec, Montreal and Sherbrooke,
and in many cities of Maine, they
have met with the same success at
the hands of the music-loving public
FlGttering offers from concert manag-
ers have been showered upon them
but they h9d to be declined.
May the 18th will see them in
our Opera House, and doubtless the
people of our town will be as anxious
to hear and admire as have been the
people elsewhere.
The price of admission will be 25c.
35c and 80 cents, according to loca-
ton of seats Tickets will be on sale
Monday at F. w Bucknam's.

MADISON IS WINNER IN
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
But SkoWhegan Spea'crS Made Fine
Showing Is Verdict of All.

The debate between the Skowhegan
and Madison High schools held at
Madison last Friday evening was a
close contest The points made in the
arguments of one side were well met
by the other The Skowhegan boys
made a fine showing and, even if they
failed to win the debate, were a credit
to the High school and the town. The
seventy-five or more Skowhegan ciu-
zens who went to Madison to the de-
bate were greatly pleased with the
fine appearance and the excellent ar
gumentative work of our boys
The question debated was "Resolv-
ed, That the United States Should
Fortify the Panama Canal" Skowhe-
gan took the affirmative and the
speakers were Thornton Ward Mer-
riam, Horatio Tobey Mooers. and
Gerald Coker Marble, with Donald
Ward Philbriek as alternate. Madi-
son High had the negative OF the
question and the speakers were Paul
Howard Means Floyd Wellington
Adams and Arlen Abbie Mckinney.
with Rufus Albert Dyer as alternate.
Madison had the only young lady de
batter in Miss Mckenney and scored
a hit with her.
The debaters were given eight min
utes each on the direct and -four min
utes on rebuttal {. o. Small. Esq.

judges were Herbert c. Libby Sup
erintendent Of Schools. Wateryille;
Judge Augustine Simmons. North An
son; and John w. Manson, Esq. OF
Pittsield. Mr.. Libby announced the
decision of the judges in very witty
but tantalizing speech which kept
both sides on the anxious seat" for
some time.
The Skowhegan High speakers had
a much better way OF presenting their
arguments than the Madison High.
They had divided up the points among
themselves and each presented dis
tinct phase of the question clearly
and concisely. Their arguments
were we'll rounded out and backed up
by facts. The first speaker, Thornton
Merriam, gave the question and out

Ills illustrative stories were very apt

Gerald Marble summed up the argu-

and met their opponents arguments
squarely.

game with Whitehouse at the bat.
During the first half of the first in
ming they scored five times, but
largely through errors. Pierce
started the score for the High school
when he knocked a two-bagger and
Wildes running in. AT the beginning
of the fifth inning the game stood s
to 8 and in Oak Groves half scored
once. This being the last chance for
Skowhegan at the bat the boys ral-
lied and made three runs and fin
ished the game. The High school
team has not done any practicing un-
til this week and the team is made
up largely of new men. There was
