Maine Building
Continued from Pace Qnel

facturer of cast stone, has offesed to
donate the plaster caps and bases
and the plinths for the columns OF
the porch entrance. The Rockland-
Rockport Lime Company was the
first to promise materials toward the
building, its generous offer of all the
lime to be used in the construction
being announced at the time of the
canvass for public funds.
The State seal above the entrance
will be painted at the Portland
School of Fine Arts. Negotiations
are also in progress between the
architects and the instructor at that
school for mural paintings by art
students depicting epochs of history
of the State Of Maine. These paint
ings will be placed in the high panels
between the windows of the EXPOSE
ton building.
It is believed by the commission
ers and architects that other Maine
dealers In building materials will
make donations toward the build
ing.
The lot, deed of which has been
given to the State by the Eastern
States Exposition, has frontage of
125 feet and a depth of 256 feet. A
frontage depth of 80 feet has been
reserved Tor an old fashioned New
England garden with background
of Maine pines and evergreens. The
flanked on either side with an artist
ic arbor. the flower beds will be
planted with perennials that will oe
in bloom in September, the month of
the annual exposition. On either side
of the entrance posts will extend an
old fashioned white, wooden picket
fence, which will give the surround
ing area a characteristic New Eng
land appearance.
It is a matter of general interest
that the Eastern States Exposition
grounds, in which Maine Is to have
this permanent building for annual
display of products of its farms and
factories, represent total expendi-
ture thus far of $2,5O0,OOO. Ground
has just been broken for another
500, 600 building to be devoted to
uses of the boys and girls organi-
cations. whose encampment has
been a picturesque feature of the ex-
position each year. During the week
Of the exposition last September
100000 people paid admission to the
grounds and inspected the various
displays OF the IL states represented
in the list of exhibitors.

Height Of Social
Season at Colby

The apex of the social season at
Colby college was reached last eve
ming when the annual junior prom
enade was held, with more than two
hundred college couples attending
the most successful and elaborate
formal affair ever held at the col
lege. The affair was held at the

played brilliantly.

the gala affair were as follows: Pres
ident and Mrs. Arthur ]. Roberts.
Dean .Nettie M. Runnals, DR.. and
Mrs. George F. Parmenter, Professor

Sherrod B. Holcomb of West Orange,
N. j.: and Henry s. Cross OF New
ton Center, Mass. Music for the

night Sons Orchestra.
The favors which were given to
the guests were most attractive this
year. The ladies received hammer
ed silver bracelets with the seal OF
the college engraved on small sill
yer disk, while the gentlemen re-
ceived attractive leather cigarette
cases with gold seal of the college
embossed on one side. At intermis-

Mr.. and Mrs. Stacy
Leave for New Home
In Connecticut

MIR. and Mrs. Leland Stacy left on
the afternoon train Friday for Water
bury, Conn.,, where they will make
their home. Mr.. Stacy has for the past
two years been the boys work secre-
tary at the Augusta Y. M. c. A. and
while here has made host of friends.
Mrs. Stacy came to this city last fall
after their marriage and while here
has also made many friends.
The work of Mr.. Stacy at the local
Y. M. c. A. has been of especial merit
and under his guidance the boys de-
partment has shown a great increase
in membership and in activity. The
work that he has done in the Augusta
Y. M. c. A. building has not been the
only activity in which he was engaged,
however. For two summers he has
had charge of the recreational work at
the State Y. M. c. A. camp at Winthrop
and through his work there he came
in contact with boys from all over the
State. He became famed as a song
leader there and at various special oc-
casions in this city was called upon
to officiate In that capacity.
He inaugurated a series of Sunday
afternoon meetings which were con-
Quoted both seasons that he was here
and at those meetings he had fine
speakers, good singing and the best
of motion pictures. The meetings
were made worth while and instruc-
tive but interest was not lacking and
from $50 to 200 boys attended at each
meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stacy will make their
home in Waterbury, Conn.,, where he
has accepted position as City Boys
Work Secretary. There are three
buildings in that city and he will
have charge of the boys work in all
three of the buildings.
AS a token of their appreciation
for his splendid service the boys OF
the Augusta ''Y" called him into the
boys room Friday morning and pre-
sented him with fine sterling silver
serving spoon. The speech of presen-
tation was made by David Quay ana
"Stace" responded in happy vein,
expressing his sorrow that he was
leaving so many of his friends be-
hind him and his hope that he would
find the boys as willing to cooperate
in his new home as they are here.

TROLLEY BONDHOLDERS
 FACING FACTS

Foreclosure plans of the Hartford and Springfield Street Railway Co.,, as announced yesterday, were not surprising. Bondholders scarcely have any other alternative consider ing the record of consistent losses under the rectIyership.
 The situation between Hartford and Springfield, so far as the troll lev business is concerned, has been different than between most cities. The Connecticut river forms east side. west side" routes. each serving people living on it's side of the river; in olhcr words, there were two mtgrurbon lines.
 Conditions in the trolley business became hard enough under even the most favorable conditions, but when thrre were two lines between cities conditions became even more dit- fjcuu. In addition, the railroad ha7 always given swift service, contih- mug as q strong competitor for terminal business.

THE PETITION FOR
SUNDAY SPORTS

A petition for the lega.iza,ion Of pyo:rssiona. Sunday sports has been prepared In The ci.r and will be submitted to the Common Council, Tlls development is in accordance with lae law passed by the last Leg isllturs and it is entirely likely that the Council E.,! look upon the pe'i- ton with favor.
 There cAn scarcely be any doubt as to the pre}ailng sentiment upon the matter in this city AS the mayor has repeatedly pointed out, a large portion of the population has regarded sunday as a day of recreation as well as religious duties. The games would be played at a time of day not Interfering with church services and objections for this reason are much less likely to be serious. Under the old prohipl- tive law Sunday sports thriYed in most cities of the state regardless and it cannot be otherwise than an improvement to have them in a legal manner
 The Sunday sports bill' by the way, was one Of the few measures passed by the late Legislature which increased the home rule privileges 10 cities and towns, Under the la" each community can decide for it. self what position to take. The cities and larger towns will uniformly adopt legalized Sunday sports, while the smaller places as a rule Will have none of il, thus leaving public sentiment as the determining factor which is as it should be.
