CONY HIGH NOTES
Boys Basketball Team Plays Gardi-
ner Friday Evening at the cony
Building

ner Friday Evening at the Cony
Building
The reports Wednesday of the sale
of Carnival tickets show that the
Freshmen are still in the lead, with
the other classes pressing them close
ly.
Friday evening the boys varsity
team will play their old rivals from
Gardiner. These two schools have
not met on the basketball floor for
the last three years. At the time the
Cony schedule was made up, Gar
diner was signed up for two games,
one to be played in Gardiner on this
date and the other to be played here
at a later date. Owing to the fact
that the Gardiner floor is up for re-
pairs and SO that there would be no
Cony date left open at the last mo-
ment, the game was transferred to
tomorrow night and the other game
was cancelled. There is possibility
that this will be the only game that
Gardiner will play this year, because
of the repairs which prevent practice.
1t has also been announced that, II
the girls do not play, and this seems
likely at the present time, there will
be a game between the second team
and the "Y Cubs" The second team
has a number of good players and is
but little Inferior n the varsity team
and with opponents like the "Y"
team. who have been playing together
for some time. a fast game should
result.
The contest for the best extempor-
aneous essay on Thrift and Insur-
ance," which is open to any High
school student in the State is to be
held this morning at 10 o'clock. About
100 students at Copy will participate
and with the preparations that they
have made on the subject it seems
that the school should win one of the

AUGUSTA HOCKEY TEAM
TO PLAY COLBY VARSITY
SATURDAY At STATE RINK

The Augusta Hockey team will play
again next Saturday afternoon at the
new rink. Their opponents this time
will be the Colby varsity team. This
! team has been playing with the same
Waterville team that defeated Au-
gusta last Saturday and they are OF
about the same class. Sc the Augusta,
| team will have to play pretty good
hockey if they score win. The To-
cal team is getting some fine practice
and with the scrub game that they
played with Winthrop last night and
the practise which they expect to
have with the Hallowell team Friday
night. they will be much improved
over their last Saturdays form.
1t is hoped to have board platforms
up in time for this game so that the
spectators will not have to stand in
the snow. This will make it much
fact coupled with The game and with
the permission which each ticket car
ries for the holder to skate on the
rink Immediately after the game,
should draw a large crowd.
Manager Thompson has been very
busy arranging for games and he has
a number of games pending with
such teams as Bates. Rowdoin and
the Lewiston Independents. This lat
ter team played a large schedule last
year and were undefeated. There are
also two games which have already
been arranged for with the st.
dominique club of Lewiston. This
club is of about the calbre of the
Watcrville team and with the work
that the Augusta team is getting they
should have hard time to trim the
local boys.

w. c. Atkins Of Gardiner appeared
as counsel for the defendant.
I The jury was out about half Jan hour
| in determining this case. returning a
verdict Of 500 for the plaintiff.
! The plaintiff sought to recover s400
| by reason of the terms of verbal
| contract which he alleged he had en-
| tered into on June % last with Maui
rice Peters. son Of the defendant. and
! for the use by the defendant of a
concrete mixing machine owned by
the plaintiff. 1t was alleged that by
this contract Maurice Peters had
promised to pay Mr.. Brooks IS per
/ day for the time they had the machine
J exclusive of Sundays and holidays
| that the machine was in their possess
sion and care for so days, which
would amount to s400. and that Mr.
Brooks had sent the defendant a bill
for this amount but had never re-
! ceived payment.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Brooks, testified
| regarding the contract he had made
with Maurice Peters to let him take
the concrete mixer at the rate Of SIS,
per day exclusive of Sundays and hoi-
idays.
The defense in the case set forth
that the contract Maurice Peters had
entered into with Mr.. Brooks was that
he would pay Mr.. Brooks 81 per hour
for the time the machine was act
ually in use; that they. had actually
used the machine so hours ard had
sent check for $50 to Mr.. Brooks,
the check having later been returned
by counsel for Mr.. Brooks.
Maurice Peters testified to the con-
versation he had with Mr.. Brooks
when he applied for the use of the
concrete mixer. stating that they had
agreed the price should be 81 per hour
for the time the machine was actually
in use. The machine had been used for
mixing concrete for the cellars Of the
five houses built by the Housing Cor
poration for the r. P. Hazard Co.
and also for one other house on
Brunswick avenue. Gardiner. The
machine was employed for 60 hours
in this work.
M. A. Peters. Forrest G. Perkins and
Cony Malcolm of Gardiner and f.
Burton Mitchell Of the Lockwood
Greene Co. testified for the defendant,
the latter testifying that 81 per hour
was fair charge for the use of the
machine.
In rebuttal Charles E. Hoxie, con-
tractor. Of Augusta, testified that IS
per day was a fair charge for the
machine.
The case was argued by Attorney
Martin for the plaintiff and Attorney
Atkins for the defendant.
In his charge to the Jury Judge
Beane pointed out that the jury would
not be competent to determine accord
ing to the terms of the contract as
set out by the plaintiff because the
mind Of the plaintiff did not meet the
mind Of the defendant. but yet there
might be contract such as the de-
PENDANT had claimed. In case the
jury should determine there was no
contract, then under another count in |
plaintiffs writ. the jury could deter
mine what would be reasonable COM !
pensation for the use Of plaintiffs |
machine.
The trial Of criminal cases will be |
commenced this morning. the first N |
order being that Of State VS.. Waiter |
Larrabee ct al. Of Augusta, indicted !
for breaking. entering and larceny.
