I Halifax, Sept. 1o.-The Boston
schooner Mayfiower was debarred to-
day as a contender for the interna-
tional fishing races by the trustees

I After receiving notice today that

The Halifax Herald. donor of the
fishing schooner championship trophy
supported today the action of the
trustees in barring the Mayf1ower
from competing for the cup.

In all probability the location committee OF

the dispatches carried the story of an Italian who
