Augusta Hockey Club
Expects Busy Season

Work was started Monday on
leveling a plot of land for the new
site of tie Augusta Hockey Club
rink at the State park. Charles S.
Brown, chairman of the rink COM
mittee supervised the work.
The Hockey Club has plans under
way for a busy season. The cub
team will play in a proposed le~eue
to be formed with the Association st.
Dominique team of Lewiston and
the Waterville Hockey club team.
Preliminary plans for the league are
in full swing.
1t is expected that the Duffer series
will be even a greater success than
last season when the "Old Guard"
and the Bull Moosers" were the
only contestants. More Duffer teams
should be formed this year. The
State House. Y. NJ. c. A. Revenue
Office and others might put teams
on the Kinks and afford a lot of
healthful sport.
For the comfort of the spectators
it is hoped that funds may be OBJ
tanned to provide hut to accomn1o-
date 100 persons. The hut will have
windows so that the games may be
viewed from under cover. It will also
be used as a dressing room for the

Bangor Draws
Methodist Meet

Bangor won out over Augusta as
the place chosen for the first meet
ing Of the All Maine conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, al
though Secretary George c. Clarke Of
the local Chamber of Commerce was
Johnny on the-spot with an invita-
ton to make the Capital City the
first meeting place Of the combined
conferences.
It will be remembered that the
East Maine and Maine Conference
agreed TO unite into one conference
at their respective meetings last
April and at that time it was sug-
gested that conference of this size
should no longer ask the entertain
ing cities and towns to furnish en-
tertainment gratis, but that each
minister in attendance should pro-
vide for himself and that the expense
should be pro rated over all the
charges of the two conferences.
Bangor. however, offered free enter
taipment and. IN fact the two Method
list churches Of that city each offered
an invitation on this basis and in the
argument of free entertainment versus
pay-as you-go Bangor had an unan-
swerable plea with the result that the
vote stood TO ! for Bangor after
the ballots of the Conference Commit
tee had ben counted. An invitation to
meet in Augusta in 1924 was immedi-
ately extended and it is hoped that
Augusta viii be given a chance to show
her hospitality to this group of men
in that year.

about Is knots as a maximum.
On the first leg, broad reach Of five
miles. the Henry Ford led by 90 Sec
onds. The test to windward, the first
in the series on this point of sailing,
came on the second leg, a dead beat
of 10 miles and Bluenose admirers
were at a loss to explain the Ford's
advantage of two minutes 81 seconds,
at the end of the tussle with the
wind. Captain Morrissey set the or
der of Vancouver, taking one long
board down the Magnolia shore, then
and Captain Angus followed him,
tack for tack, splitting none.
Reaching close hauled by the wind
on the third leg Of 10 miles out to
the open sea, the Bluenose gained
40 seconds. But on the next side of
the triangle, the third stretch of ten
miles, a broad reach in which Cap
tain Angus pinched his boat and
Captain Molrissey eased all sheets,
the Henry Ford went out and left
behind her n wake so long that the
utmost effort c. man and ship on the
part of the Canadians, could not
overhaul her.
Turning on the last leg, the
Glouccsternan had a lead of min
utes and As seconds. The wind was
strong from the southwest, the course
lay east by north. Close hauled the
schooners fought along the Cape Sam
shore with thousands watching them
from the natural stand. The Bluenose
footed fastest. pointed slightly tigh-
err and pressed on, gaining constant
ly. The Henry Ford in front slipped
sweetly along, her skipper and crew,
with the Secretary of the Navy at
the wheel latterly, able in the end
to accept The official gun and the
whistled applause from the specta-
tor fleet, winners returning to

been turned into a will to win. The

With these men, I never knew what

Chairman Lufkin said: The inter-
national committee has suggested to
its racing sub committee and to the
other interests involved. every pos
sible sort of compromise with little
success until tonight. The Nova SEQ
tia committee members said they felt
keenly and sincerely that there should
be another race. They offered if we
felt disposed to accept, to present us
with the trophy. but Gloucester wants
no gift. We want to fight for it and
to win it. Another race has been set
for Wednesday with another chance to
fight and I'm sure Gloucester will be
in it..
He added that to his mind Gloucester
is considering. in the forthcoming city
elections to vote unanimously Ito make
Clayton Morrissey mayor, Captain Jack
Matheson. chairman of the board and
to give Mrs. Jack Raymond a high
place in the councils" adding that
without them. there would have been

the fact that Skipper Morrisscy and

mutiuous racing crew back to their

cd them to do SO.
