Canadians Again
Bar MayfoWer
for Fishernen's Cup

Gloucester. Mass. Sept. l4-In
spite of the action of the Canadian
trustees of the International Fisher
mems cup in again barring the
schooner Mayflower from competi-
ton for the trophy, the vessel will
probably enter the elimination races
to decide this years American chal-
lenger, Chairman William J. McIn-
mis- of the American race committee,
said tonight.
A letter~from Canadian body was
received here tonight containing for
NAL notification of the decision to
bar the Mayflower as a cup contend
er. A meeting of the American COM
mittee was at once called for tomor-
row night to consider the situation
thus brought about.
If the Mayflower is defeated in the
preliminary tests to be held off Glou-
cester in October. the international
contest waged as to her eligibility will
have been decided. On the other
hand, should the Gloucester man win
and the Canadian trustees still per-
sist in barring her as contender
there would probably be no interna-
tional contest this year.
Feeling in Gloucester ran high to-
day.

Immediately started and it is possible
that an autopsy will be ordered by
Sheriff King F.. Graham.
Finding of the body recalled to the
authorities request received by
them in November of last year to aid
in the finding Of Thomas B. Concar
of this city, a veteran of the World
War, and who disappeared mysteri-
ously from sight at that time. Mrs.
William n. O'ConnelI, an aunt of Con-

assist in the search but efforts along
the line failed to bring results.
Co-incident with the disappearance
OF Concar came a report to the auth

a splash in the water and also cries
for assistance Concar was reported
missing on Nov. 4. 1921. The incid-

Appoint Dean of Girls
Division at COburn

Principal Harthorne OF Copurn
Classical Institute Thursday night
announced the appointment Of Miss
Clara P. Merrill as the Dean of the
girls at Coburn. This announcement
is in line with the plan coming more
and more into general use in the best
schools of the country 1t will meet
with favor among all friends of Co.
burn, it is believed.
Miss Merrill is particularly well
fitted by training and experience for
this important place. She is a grad
uate of Coburn and of Colby college
with the degrees of A. B. and A. M
She was preceptress of Hebron Acad-
envy for several years. during which
time she rendered most valuable SER
vice. She has been teaching at Co.
burn eight years. chiefly in the Eng
lish department and always with the
best success. Miss Merrill knows the
traditions Of Coburn and has contrib
uted largely to the present fine stand
ing of the school.
The girls of Coburn are to be con-
graduated upon having her as their
Dean. 1t is safe to say that whatever
affects the lives and work of Coburn
girls will be her chief concern.

REVIVAL HORSE
RACING IN RUSSIA

Moscow, Aug. 20-Horse racing in
Russia, nearly as popular in the old
days as tea drinking, is slowly COM
ing back.
There ere so many race followers in
Russia that even during the world
war it went on about as usual. Not
until the revolution came, when the
country was almost turned inside out,
was racing forced to close down.
Four years ago when racing was ac-
tually given up, millions of persons
thought it meant the end of every
thing.
But this summer harness racing
began again in Petrograd. Moscow and
various other cities. Now Russia, or
at least the racing fans, are begin
ming to feel that after all the world
has started to right itself again.
The government conducts the
sport; the pari mutual system of
betting: the concessions at the tracks
and everything in general. and the
army helps to keep things going in
orderly fashion. Soldiers see to it
that no one gets in free, and that
there are no small boys. nor men,
