cortland Express. Tuesday,
Pope McKinnon, the Bangor horse
man, today came out with sweeping
def to match the PAGER Dusty Dan,
2.09A. against any horse in the state
of Maine over the ice. He makes
specific mention of Royal Mckinney,
212A, last seasons state champion,
and challenges Carroll Hanson of
Presque Isle, owner Of the Mckinney
horse. for two races at $500 a side or
a total purse Of $1,000, one race to be
pulled off at Bangor and the other
at Pressure Isle.
Royal Mckinney will be remem-
bered as the big gray geIding that
cleaned up everything on the Port
land snow path last season when
owned by George Bayes. He was
sold to Z. w. McBurnie Of Pressure
Isle and conclusively demonstrated
his right to the title of "ice cham
pion Of Maine" when he twice de-
feated Hal S. Jr., the former cham
pion and then defeated Stingy Dick,
the only other claimant to the crown.
Dusty Dan is a PAGER campaigned

necticut, and over the Grand Circuit

Belfast

A cable has been received by Mr.. ami
Mrs Thomas l. Parkinson announcing
that their son Earl has been killed in
action. Earl was sent to Camp Devens
for training and. while there was I'M
usually popular with his company. He
was big strapping fellow. very ath-
letic and with a fund of good nature
which won him many friends. He is
survived by his parents and several
brothers and sisters in Belfast. His
name will be added to the list OF Waldo
county boys who have made the su-
preme sacrifice for their country on the
field of honor.
Word has also been received OF the
death in action of George William
Winslow. second son of Theodore and
Elizabeth (Chase) Winslow OF Eliza
beth, y. j.. formerly Of Belfast. Young
Winslow was a corporal in the New
York Guard. 9TH Div, 10th Inf, Co. T.,
and was killed Sept. g. The news was
received on Thanksgiving day just as
the family were sitting down to dinner
Mr. Winslow, receiving the wire, did not
tell them until after dinner and the
family had gathered about the fire for
the evening when he broke the sad
news Corp. Winslow is survived by two
brothers. Edward. also in France, and
Chase of Elizabeth; also by one sister
Mrs. Alien Myers. formerly Miss Theo-
dora Winslow. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Winslow are former Belfast people.
Mrs. Winslow the daughter OF the late
Capt. George w. Chase. The Winslow
children frequently visited in Belfast
and are we'll remembered here

Clerk c. S. Bickford, who has a record

every Belfast and Waldo county boy
has been remembered. Naturally many
OF the packages will not reach the boy
t. whom it is sent, for many will be
homeward bound before the Christmas
ship is half way across the ocean, but
no one has wished to take a chance Of
missing boy who will be on French,
English, Belgian. Italian, Austrian or
German soil. and so every one whose
address could be obtained will have a

interesting. There was good at

The game was largely one Of punt

anxious to try to advance the ball
in the mud. The Gardiner team
gained the most ground. Twice dur
ing the game Cony's goal was in
danger, once in the second quarter
when the Gardiner backs brought
the ball up to the Cony 10-yard line
and again in the third quarter when
Gardiner had the bali on Cony's one
yard line. In both Of these instances,
however, the local team showed it's
strength and the line held strong.
