The Other Day.
Prince Of the turf. oh, Zev so smart
Amid the plaudits gay,
You were the idol Of each heart.
That was the other cay.

THAT was the other day"
The great events are swiftly past
OF pleasure or dismaY.
OF all things we must say at last,
THAT was the other day."

was particularly interesting, and all
of the boxing and wrestling bouts
were fast and at times furious.
Blaine Owen was announcer for
the evening and promptly at o'clock
the two basketball teams were called
onto the floor for the first half of
their game. This, was followed by
the first of the exhibition boxing
bouts with Ken Mariner and Charles
kinsman. Jr, facing each other on
the canvas. Both of these lads were
from the "Y' Junior gym class, and
showed an inclination to mix it from
the start. The bout went three one
and one-half minute rounds and was
good draw. In the first stanza
Mariner plowed in with both hands
and kept failing to the head. but
klnsman was fairly successful in
covering up and escaped punishment.
In the second one of Mariners lefts
to the face drew blood. The third
round was fairly even with both boys
willing to fight.
George Touraine, formerly of the
Boston Y. NJ. G. A.. now a member of
the Augusta Y, gave a splendid ex-
'hibition on the parallel bars and fei-
lowed this with an interesting DEM
onstration of muscle fiexing. Mr..
Touraine has a wonderful physique
and his exhibition work of last even
ing was revelation to the big crowd
of men present.
Wrestling Bout A Draw
Then ten minute wrestling bout
between Harvey Winslow and Char
les Prime of the "Y" Senior gym
class was clever exhibition. with
neither boy succeeding in pinning his
opponents shoulders % the mat for
the count. The boys were very
evenly matched and in the ten min
ute go displayed thorough knowl-
edge of the game and used most of
the holds in an effort to get fall.
Eddie Bechard gave an entertain
ing exhibition of Frisco" dancing,
and responded to the popular de-
mand with an encore. The three
round boxing match between Tom
Cahill and Harlow Bradford of the
'Y" Intermediate Gym class was the
next number on the card. and was a
fast go from the first bell. Both
these boys were perfectly willing and
there was some fast and clever milk
ing uncovered in the fight. Brad
ford was inclined to use his left
most of the time and the crowd
waited for him to cut loose with his
right. In the final round both boys
snapped some stiff rights and lefts
and were mixing hot and furiously
when the final gong sounded.

One of Two Escaped
Insane Hospital
Patients Located

Hector BruSso, one of the two pa
tents at the Augusta State Hospital
who escaped Monday by dropping
fifteen feet .from a second story win
dow of the institution has been To-
Gated at his homo in Biddeford but
John Beane, his companion has not
been located.
The two men escaped Monday night
as the patients were preparing to re-
tire, by slipping into the bath room
when the attendants back was turn
ed and jumping from the window.
1t is thought that they had previous
ly removed the bolts holding the
grating in the window.
Neither man was dangerous, in fact
Brusso had so far recovered that he
was to be discharged in short time.
Beane is Of sub normal mentality
and was transferred to the State
HOSPITAL from the Mems Reforma-
tory. His home is in Portland. He
is a young man in his twenties and
is able to look out FIR himself.

by Mr.. Touraine followed this bout,
and in this number the crowd was
treated to some classy stunt work by
this clever gymnast. The second
half of the basketball game was
played off next, resulting in the win
for the Cony boys.
Main Bout . Hummer
: The final and main bout of the
evening was between Spin Mcclure
and Young Mike O'Dowd, and was a
fast and clean exhibition of some
real fighting by two boys who were
willing to give their best for the en-
tertainment of the big Mems Night
assemblage. Harry Jones was the
third man in the ring and performed
most acceptably. This bout went
three, three minute rounds and
though both the boxers used both
hands with about all the kick they
could muster on several occasions.
neither was marked UP at the end of
the melee. Throughout the three
stanZas there was some hard milling,
and in the second particularly, the
boys fought out of their clinches.
and the exchange of lefts and rights
was anything but gentle. Spin gave
the usual exhibition of clever, scien-
tific boxing, while Mike pleased the
crowd with his shifty foot work and
Willingness to come in close.
Z The Basketball Game
One of the high lights of the even
ings fun was the basketball game be-
tween the Cony high Comets and the
Y. M. G. A. team. This game was a
spirited. hard fought tussel between
two good teams and furnished much
excitement. The score at the end of
the first half was 6 to 6. and in the
second half it remained even until
within a few minutes of the end
when with the score at nine-all Poor
of the Cony high team netted long
hard shot from the center of the
floor. putting the Comets in the lead
from which they were not headed.
