The mild weather of the past few
days has had such wearing effect
on the ice in the Kennebec river
along the city'S water front that no
small amount Of speculation has been
aroused as to the probable date on
which the ice will leave the river, and
some bets have been made as to that
date. On account of the long con-
tinued and unusually cold weather of
the past winter and the fact that the
river has been closed by ice nearly to
the Augusta dam until within the past
few days. which is a very unusual
circumstance, many have thought that
the ice this spring would be late in
going out but present conditions ap-
pear to be to the contrary. and unless
period of unusually cold weather
should set in, it does not look as if
the ice could hold out many days
longer. For the past ten years the

to April "A, the dates for six years
