Highest Praise for Recent Pom
illogical Show at Bangor, Is
Report to State Hor-
ticulturist
STATE HOUSE CHAT
Interesting Facts Gathered from
The Forest Commissioners
Report-Corporation Mat
tiers and Other Notes
Next Meeting Of the Governor and
Council, 4 p. NJ, Monday, Nov. 80.

State Horticulturist A. K. Gardner
in speaking Wednesday morning of
the annual meeting of the Maine
Pathological Society recently held at
Bangor, stated that it was the biggest
genealogical show ever held in the
State and that the prizes were quite
evenly divided among the exhibitors.
The box exhibit in particular, he said,
was far ahead of anything ever pus
up in the State. In the entire exhibit
of boxes and barrels but one worm
hole was found and that was a calyx
worm hole, and not noticeable.
The box fruit sold from $3.50 to 50
per box with the exception of the Ben
Davis and the Stark, and Mr. Gard
ner stated that he had no doubt but
that 200 more boxes of the Mcintosh
apples could have been sold for 81 per
box. Considering that the average
box is selling from $150 to s1.75, It
shows that the people are willing to
pay we'll if they can get the article
they want. The barrels sold WELL
said Mr.. Gardner but not in proper
ton to the boxes.
Mr.. Gold, a judge at the annual
show of the Connecticut Horticultural
Society, told Mr.. Gardner that he con-
sidered it the cleanest exhibition of
fruit that he had ever seen.
Wilson Conant, president of the Ok
ford Bears Fruit Growers Associa-
tion had an exhibit of five boxes,
which were as fine as anyone ever
put up. One of these boxes is to be
shipped to Seattle, Wash, to prove to
people in that section. what can be
done in the State of Maine. Mr..
Gardner stated that the Maine
Pathological Society was pleased with
its reception in Bangor, and the people
of Bangor were more than pleased
with the exhibition of the society.

MAINE PROTESTS IN
HORSE RACING CASES

Hon. F. 0. Beal and James w. Graft
ty will leave Bangor Sunday for New
York to attend the annual meeting Of
the National Board of Review, a ses-
sion which Is of deepest interest to
every horseman in the country Mr.
Beal is one of the directors of the
board, representing the eastern Sec
ton. which comprises, Canada, Maine
and Massachusetts.
Two claims are to be settled at this
meeting which are of much interest to
Maine horsemen. One is the protest
of Frank Hayden, of Lewiston, against
Prodigal Bingen. owned by Hon. Han
nibal E. Hamlin of Ellsworth, and
driven by Ralph Burrill of Bangor.
The dispute is over the proper loea-
ton of the distance flag in the first
heat of a race. Hayden claimed that
the flag was not at the right distance
from the judges stand and that Prodi-
gal Bingen should have been shut ut
in the first heat. The judges did not
allow his claim and in the next heat
Prodigal Bingen romped home, win
ming the heat and finally the race.
Prodigal Bingen is a fine specimen of
action and speed, full of life and spi-
rit and has been Names phenomenal
trotter CT the past season. He is a
bay stallion and is much admired by
horsemen who have seen him on the
track. He is one of a string of four
or five horses owned by Mr.. Hamlin.
Some of them are worked at the track
at Maplewood Park.
Another protested case is that
against the horse Kol Macbeth, owned
by King, of Orono, also driven by
Ralph Burrill. Walter Reynolds pro-
tested race at Hartland on the ground
that there. was no distance flag. The
track was so dusty, it appears, that
the man handling the flag did not use
1t, according to his statement, as it
would have had no effect if he had, the
clouds of dust obscuring him as well
as horses and driver, so the flag could
not have been seen few feet away if
he had unfurled it,
