There were so many very attractive
windows that it was rather difficult 70

report that they regretted that more

merchants as a whole have made a
most remarkable showing and are en-
titled to great credit for the. display

The contest was for three complete

were thrown open to the public view
at 10 A. NJ. Saturday. There were many
people intent upon seeing what Au-
gusta merchants could do in the way
of artistic window trimming, and the
a 1vertising that the progressive mer-
chants secured was indeed well worth
while.
The officer; of the Merchants Asso-
citation were much pleased with the
spirit Of cooperation shown by many
of the merchants. This in addition TO
the fact that thousands of people IN
spected the exhibition windows, is a
source of much qualification to those
who worked to make it success.

ICE IN RIVER WEARING
AWAY, BUT MAY LAST
SOME TIME LONGER

But little change has taken place in
the ice in the river, so far as Augusta
is concerned, for the past three days,
and while there is of course a gradual
wearing away of the ice that comes be-
fore the final passing, the change is
very slight because of the continued
cold weather and the lack of warm
sunshine. The ice has gone from be-
low the Augusta dam down below
Halloweil. ard up river there is much
open water between Riverside and
Waterville. 1t is said that there is a
jam of ice a few miles up the river
from the dam but no trouble is APP
pretended from it. An occasional
sheet Of ice breaks away from that
above the dam, and on Friday night
sheet swung out from the west shore
and went over the dam, taking along
about one third of the 1ashboards with
it.
According to information received
yesterday afternoon from an ice author
ity at Gardiner, the condition of the
lower Kennebcc-that is. from Hallowcll
to Merrymaking bay-was at that time
about as given below. There is jam
Of ice at Hallowell and quite a lot of
open water AT inc 1.ltN i'cHouSe at
Farmingdalc and at the Old Orchard ice
houses at Chelsea. Down opposite the
Berlin mill in tarmingdale there is an
other jam.
From Gardiner there is open water
down TO the Independent icchouscs on
the Pittston shore. There is a jam at
Nahumkeag island. and from there
down to Bluff lot is open water. From
there the ice is quite solid to the Modoc
ischouscs. where there is more open
water. The ice at Richmond ferry is
quite solid, and yesterday afternoon
there was no open water to be seen in
Merrymecting bay. Taken all in all. it
was not thought that, unless a heavy
storm should come along, the river
would not be free of ice before a week
or ten days.
