RACING IN THE SNOW.
1t Proved Tco Deep for Speed,
However, and Fast Trotters
Failed to Make Good.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Newark, Jan. 30--Racing on the snow
was resumed, yesterday afternoon, after
lay off Of several days on the Newark
speedway. While an unusually large
number Of horses were out for brushes, the
heats were not rs close ms on some other
days this season. This was largely due TO
the fact that the snow was too deep on
Main street for fast driving and the horses
usually looked on as speed kings could not
strike their gait. This was especially true
of Lucy Patchen, the fast mare owned by
Charles Lai1erty and driven by Clark
Mccain. Lucy had an of-day and did not
seem to be bic to get started right in the
brushes she took part in. Gertrude Il, the
fast little mare owned by Victor G. Willis,
also was slightly handicapped by the deep
snow.
There were many other horses on the
path, but none of them could show their
usual speed. There was one slight acci-
dent during the afternoon, which, however
did not result seriously. Harry Tweed,
while driving down the snow path, col
llded with McCarn, driving Lucy Patchcn
The formers sleigh was upset, but the
driver held to his horse and escaped
injury.

68 to 13.

, Sixty-eight to thirteen was tho maj
score of the Wilmington High SCHOOL,
Darby High School basketball game
YESTERDAY afternoon and the local quintet
was on the long end of the score. The
Uichlets started TO work on the Pennsyl-
yania team at the opening whistle and
did not leave up once and rolled up their
biggest score of the season. Although
the local scored 6S points, they were
way of in their shooting and missed at
least so per cent of their shots at the
basket Yesterdays game was staged at
the Peoples Settlement.
Darby was so completely outclassed
that it failed to tally n field goal In the
second half and in putting IN only two
in the first period Nigllante. OF the
visitors, proved a good foul shot and
scored nine points from the fifteen root
mark, making good seven out OF ten
attempts IN the last half,
From the start it could be seen that
II was only a question OF how many
points Wilmington would run up. Gray
Carter. the lanky centcrman, established
q record for this season and several other
seasons when he tossed in l3 field goals
which, together with four foul goals, gave
hira total of so points. enough to outclass
tbs Darbvites single-handed. All In all,
" ilmington tailed 81 field goals. Ray

probably be his last game with High

FIVE here, Saturday afternoon. McGraw
nlayed in the first half yesterday and,
although he was stationed at guard. got
up the floor for four two-pointers IN that

The one redeeninC feature of Darby's
plaving was the work of Beachcr at
guard who held Greenwood close at all
times. The latter was forced to make his
shots from difficult positions and angles,
and after Beachcr had left the game.

COLLECTING WATER RENTS.
Amounts Increase as End of Month Cut.
Off Rebate.

The collection of water rents at the
office OF the Water Department in the
Public Building, yesterday, amounted to
So. .03209 and today's collection will
probably exceed that amount as the
end Of the month cuts off the rebate
privilege.
The total collections for the month up
to the close of business last night was
Sl51 ,4S3.l7; for the corresponding period
of last year there was collected 1854, zoo "a
The collections this year have fallen short
of last year by 3,223.07.
AS there are two days in which water
rents may be paid, and the rebate saved,
it is thought the dc cheney of more than
5000 compared with last years colIec-
tions will easily be met. Although an
extra force of clerks was on duty all day
yesterday, a long line of people was in
waiting at the windows most of the day,
and today and tomorrow will probably
witness q still larger gathering,

Maine Home Gardens

The sub committee on marketing
of food production and conservation,
consisting of r. S. Adams and G. O.
purinton of Bowdoinham and Charles
NJ. White of Portland. Monday sent
out a program in which it has out
lined calls for a survey of the home
gardens to find out how much they
can consume that can be grown in
Maine and how much is grown in
Maine.
In the fall after harvesting it is
proposed to have a survey of the
farms in several towns in Maine and
find out what the owners of these
farms have for market as well as to
see if there cannot be a more Of
ficient way of connecting up the
produce of the farms with the near
by market to the advantage of both
the producer and consumer by the
way of less cost for transportation
and more general efficiency in mar
keting. The chairmen of the COM
mittees on food for production are
asked to appoint a committee in the
cities and large villages in their
county to make the survey.
The program explains that the OBJ
ject of the survey of farm products is
tC secure definite information flom
the distribution agencies in the cities
of the State as to the amounts and
kinds Of farm products handled and
to ascertain what products SO dis
tributed can be grown profitably in
the State OF Maine.
The method of procedure is as fol-
lows:
The market committee plans to re-
ceive endorsement of the State pub
lie safety committee on food produc-
ton.
The committee to work through
the local public safety committee on
food production.
Local public safety committees on
food production to name a commit
tee OF three to conduct the survey.
Chairman of said committee to Sc
cure instructions from the chairman
OF the State market committee.
The sources of information are
given as follows: Retail fruit and
produce dealers, hotels. open markets.
milk dealers, farmer distributors. hav
dealers.
All surveys shall be forwarded to
the chairman Of the State Market
committee on or before May 1. 1918.
and all surveys received shall be
tabulated by the State Market Com
mittee.

Automobile Registration

All estimates of the receipts from
automobile registrations in Maine for
the season of 1918 have been laid
aside for revision, on account of the
great increase already made. Those
who have watched the growth of the
automobile business in Maine were
inclined to think that if last years
receipts of approximately $4S0.0O0
were exceeded by $4,000 in 1918, we
would be doing mighty we'll consid-
ering the war conditions. The excess
is already s75,42S-which tells the
whole story.
The receipts at the Automobile
Registration Bureau, Department of
State, up to the close of business on
Saturday, April 20 were s243,50S.75,
against $16S,OS0 in the same period
Of 1917.
The amount received from April 1
to April 20, 1918. inclusive. was
$133,61S.75. against s66,S67 in the
same period of 1917.

that final notice.
Harry B. Austin, in charge of that
department of the provost marshaTs
office, states that the work has been
speeded up within the past 10 days
and that very efficient cooperation is
being given by the several police
forces of the towns and cities, par
ticularly Bangor and Lewiston.
Two deserters were sent last
Thursday from Lewiston to Camp
Devens at Aver, Mass, and three on
Saturday from Bangor to the same
camp. The men apprehended during
the past 10 days include one located
in Rhode Island; three in Massachu
sets: two in New Hampshire: one
in Minnesota; and one in Kentucky;
beside about dozen rounded up in
the home State. 1t will be seen that
the strong arm of Uncle Sam is far
reaching and his energy untiring.
Mr.. Austin states that with the ma
chinery of his department working
as it now is, he expects that results
will be even better from now on.
