SMITH OUTCLASSED BY
BRENNAN AT HAVANA

Havana, March 15-Sergeant Roy
Smith. although hopelessly out.
classed by Bill Brennan here last
night, was ready to continue the un.
equal battle after his seconds had
thrown a towel into the ring. Not
knowing that his handlers had given
up the fight, Smith. who had been
sent to the floor after two minutes
fighting in the third round, rose at
the count of nine and rushed at his
opponent. He was stopped by his
seconds, however, and led to his
corner.
The fight was fast and furious
from beginning to end. but while
Smith forced the fighting he never
had a chance, Brennan landing
straight lefts to the face almost at
will and in the clinches pounding his
opponent hard in the stomach.
Smith went through the ropes on to
the press table at the close of the
first round from a left to the stom-
ach and was assisted to his corner as
the bell rang.
When Smith went down in the
third round from a right to the jaw,
his seconds gave the signal of de-

uation and tibet States revenue.
Rep. Williams of Webster asked ST.
900 for the road leading through Sa-
battus to Lewiston. A bad grade OF
one-half or three-quarters Of a mile
is in bad shade. It is a cutoff from
Lisbon to Lewiston, Augusta. Valua-
ton $599, 600; tax rate 40.5 mills; about
1000 population: SO miles of road.
Town will give $3.50. Debt, $10,4oo. Sc
lectman Alfonso Gustin said the town
is under heavy debt and expense and
it would appreciate a little help.
Rep. Williams also spoke for $1,000
resolve for Durham to repair road
from Lisbon Falls to Freeport, which
cuts off two stretches of 10 miles each
in going around through Brunswick.
He proposed new draft, asking 81
900 each for 1921 and 1922. Selectman
W. R. Bowie, Mr. Smith and Mr.. Hig-
gins of Durham all favored the re-
solve. saying the road was in bad
shape in clay and sand and needs
prompt attention. The town can't
do it. The valuation is SO high, that
the State assessors said they could
not add any more.
Rep. Williams introduced Select
man w. T. Thorne who asked $4,000
towards repairing or replacing a
bridge in Minot. 1t had been broken
down by a heavy truck and the
town, without appropriation availa-
BILE, had gone ahead and was fixing
it, and would like assistance in pay
ing the bills. Towns valuation. $751;
900; rate AZ mills; debt over $4,000. He
said the selectmen had put a war;
time valuation on the lumber in town
and portable mills last year stripped
it all, SO that $150000 was taken from
the town last year. Selectman Hatch
said the bridge abutment must also
be repaired perhaps rebuilt
Senator Emery of Washington
county appeared for the State talk
ing over and maintaining all bridges
over 900 feet long. He said it was
the opening of part of a solution
of the bridge problem. Based on the
1917 report there were 10 of them; of
which four were new, six in poor
shape and the rest very good. For
10 years the State had been recognize
ing it's part in their care by appropri-
ating for them. The total cost is in
definite and the 100000 asked is ten
tative. Except for the six, the main
tenance will be light for those six,
$4,000 is asked.
The good results would be seen in
relieving the Legislature from con-
slant appeals for help and when re-
pairs were necessary they would be
made without delay. He spoke of the
tremendous burden on towns and ci-
ties by the increased cost and the in
creased traffic and thought that if
this plan is now adopted that in a
few years the benefits would lead the
State to take over all bridges. 1t is
coming to time when towns can't
stand the burden and the State must
assume ownership

MOnctOn to Have
Circuit Meeting

Fredericton. n. B., March 10
Notices have been sent out calling a
meeting of the Maritime and Maine
harness racing circuit which operat-
cd last year and in 1919 for None
ton on Tuesday, March 22nd
When president Fl. D. Heckbert's
call for the annual meeting was sent
out in December the response was
not ;ufficient to 20 on with a meet
ing and since then there have been
few signs along the line of reviving
the circuit. Recently, however,
Phil Beltiveau, lessee the Moncton
track, has been active and it is be-
lieved the calling of the meeting to
Moncton is part of his plan to Or
Canize a new circuit which will be
tracks cast of there in both New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia and
perhaps some Prince Edward Island
track too.
AS n matter of fact, tracks which
have joined the recently formed
Maine and New Brunswick circuit,
Woodstock, Fredericton, st. Stephen,
Houlton and Chatham, still COM
prise the majority in the Maritime
and Maine circuit and if they wish
ed to do SO are in a position to
swing any meeting which may be
held as they might see fit
There is no indication that such
an alienation will be adopted by
these members, some are willing to
retain membership in the old cir
cult or to allow Moncton and the
territory of there to form a new
circuit if they so desire.

and friends of the State park had no
idea of extravaganza or oppositio to
the budget, nor did it wish to ask too
much, simply to place before the COM
mittee it's plans for the growth of a
park that would be an asset and a
credit TO the State and Capitol. He
then said that those in charge of the
matter felt that $4,000 would be pro-
hibtive on the commissions continu-
ing the work as planned, for the pres
ent at least.
He submitted a statement from
Chairman l.. A. Burleigh of the COM
mission, Mr.. Burleigh being out of
the State, and said that Mr.. Burleigh
had gone into it earnestly and made a
study of it, giving his time. He felt
that to accomplish anything this year
it would be better to have a larger
amount now and reduce next years ex-
penditu-e.
Landscape Architect J. r. Parker
of Olmstead Brothers, who made the
plans, explained tIldt nOlHlnS ndu DeeH

natural beauties of the spot which
he said was ideal for the purpose. He
said little could be done with $4,000,
and $4,000 would make Il better show
ing. There will be but little filling
hut some cutting.
Wilbert S. Wilson endorsed the pro-
ject, saying that it would be poor pol
icy to abandon the improvements of
the park, as such beauty spots had
great effect on people and were AN
asset to the State. He said that I'M
der the charge of Mr.. Burleigh it
would be done to the credit of the
State.

prevail of the work on the State park

Keith Ryan of Augusta said it had
the distinction of a quadruple row of
handsome trees of over so years of
