Kahill Painting of
Ex-Governor Cobb
For State Gallery

One of the best works OF Joseph
B. kahill, the Portland artist. is the
portrait of Ex-Governor William T.
Cobb of Maine, Just completed which
Will be given place in the State
House within a few days. Mr., Ka-
hill In this picture has paint
ed with correct and faciie brush.
whose color is decidedly pleasing,
while the figure has individuality
and distinction. The size of the
portrait is three by four feet, and it
is encased In a beautiful hand
carved gold frame.
The picture has been pronounced a
perfect likeness by those who have
seen 1t and knew him as Governor
Intimately. 1t is inscribed, "Wil-
liam T. Cobb, Governor, 1905-190S."
OF interest in this connection is the
fact that he is the oldest ex-Gover-
nor of Maine, in point of service.
Mr.. Cobb since his retirement
from the active political field, has
been engaged in business in Rock
land and Bath. He has been iden-
titled with the Bath Iron Works, as
president, and he is associated with
the lime and fishing industry. His
grasp upon business conditions is
unusually keen.
A native of Rockland, where he
was born July %, 1857, his father,
J Francis Cobb, was one of the chief
builders of the lime industry. After
graduating from Bowdoin, he stud
led at the University of Leipsic and
Berlin. He spent year at the
Harvard Law School and was ad-
mitted to the Knox County Bar in
1881. Political honors beckoned to
him more than once, before his cleo
ton by the Republicans of Maine.
There are already IL pictures or
| more at the State House which Mr..
Kahill has painted, among them be-
| ing the portraits of Governor Henry
B. Cleaves, Governor Oakley C. Cur
| tbs, General Chamberlain, Chief
Justices William Penn Whitehouse
and Leslie c. Cornish.
Others include Professors John
son, Chapman and Robinson of Bow
| doin College, Col. Fred N. Dow. DR..
Frederick C. Thayer and J. Putnam
Stevens.
Mr.. Kahills pictures hang in many
other public places. such as the
/ Portland Art Museum, the Walker
Art Gallery, at Bowdoin, the Cum
berland County Court House, the
Masonic Temple, Portland. etc.
Among the painters OF landscape,
the Portland artist is one OF few
who can paint figures. Among MS
works, the portrait of ex-governor
Cobb is one of abe most notable that
he has produced.

PAWNEE TEAMS BATTLE
 TO AS ALL TIE GAMEE
Mcriden and New Britain Unable to Score Decisiyely in
 Gridiron Fight

The Pawnees of this city and the Pawnees of Meriden battled to a 6 all tie score in Meriden yesterday before a good crowd of enthusiastic fans as the opening game of the 1926 season. The efforts of the To- calls to win the game were not sue cessful but the smooth work of the back field and the hard work of the line, kept the Meriden team to one touchdown and gave New Britain
 the same score. No penalties were imposed on the locals but the Silver City's penalties were many. Both teams scored in the second
 quarter and from them on, it was furious battle with neither team
 being able to do much. Gianitta carried the ball over for the locals
 score and he will bear watching this season. The Turner brothers, com
 bination of full and quarter backs
 turned in a wonderful game but the
 credit must go to the entire team
 for the work accomplished. A good
 crowd of the fair sex were present
 cheering the locals on.
 The Meriden team had many vet
 erans in the lineup. Gorham right
 half back, Sobel, Biltcliffe, Solnik.
 KlinsM and others kept New Britain
 busy. New Britain just missed victory when a goal. kicked by Tur- ner. hit the bar and failed to go over and during the game, the Mer- iden line was well battered. The locals failed to use any of their sub- stitutes. A return game is expected in the near future, The lineups;

possessed an excellent voice which he used to good advantage. Governor John II. Trumbull and Lieut.. Gov ernor Edward Brainard were an- nounced when they arrived at the armory for festivities which, to US. are not clearly defined yet. After those two notables had been seated the band again took up its program.
 
 Governor Trumbull gave a short talk. After presenting prizes to com peting bands the governor retired. Then the national anthem was played and the broadcast closed. New Ha ven is to be congratulated upon hav- ing such an excellent station. The air was filled with entertain ment yesterday afternoon and it was possible to pick from any number of popular and classical concerts. We hit WWRL, Woodside, L. L. first, and although this station did not come in very loud, it was distinct, and that's something. A dance or 1HtSNI d p4dN gu Ci Dbp OA -NE N1S7N numbers, one of which was Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and later George Griffith, baritone, sang I'll Never Cry 'whisuing one of the choruses. The song was excellent, but for the whistling which remind ed US Of q regenerative set. WGCP, New York, also offered dance music. 
 At o'clock we listened to a DOT tion Of the Evensong and Devotion al services from the Church Of The Transffguration, New York, other wise known as The Little Church Around The Corner" as broadcast by VICES, New York. These weekly services will be regular feature of VICES in the future, it is said. The station came in moderately loud and the broadcast was clear.
 
 T. was estimated that 10000 peo- pie attended the joint concert by Shannon's band and the United Sing CTS of Brooklyn, yesterday after noon at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and broadcast by WNYC, New York. We listened for a considerable length Of time, taking in the great volume of the foo male voices composing the United Singers, as they present. cd "A Call To the Hunt" and Annie Laurie" "A Bird" was the title of one of the prize numbers Of the entire program. This was played al a cornet solo by Vincent Warner, accompanied by the band. As he played the number he was seated on rustic bridge, 200 feet from the band, creating a picturesque scene, l according to the announcer.
 In the evening we heard WIZ, ! with the Pennsylvania orchestra and 1 the carillon program. Later We switched to WEE, Sprngifield, where i the Copley Plaza orchestra played l Garry Me Back to old Nirginny;" . then to WPG, Atlantic City, where ! an organ recital was being played, ! and then we quit
 A slight buzzing and some sizzling i static hindered reception to some eX- tent. Volume was excellent, as we . have said, within 200 miles, but out side Of that, thumbs down.

Through tie Static

While the weekend was not
 especially fitted for wandering all
 over the country we did get lot of
 enjoyment out of listening to sta
 tions within 200 miles. Slight static
 on both evenings added a dash of
 annoyance, which gave the dish the proper tang. There was not too
 much buzz. Volume was excellent, if
 we didn't stray too for from home,
 fact we did not overlook.
 Sattudy iyvining. WIZ offered | what one would call a surprise fea-
 ture in the form of Don Vorhees and | his orchestra, direct from the Earl Carroll theater, Seventh avenue and | 50th street, New York city. The
 bands own conception of how the
 St. Louis Blues Aould be played was
 decidedly interesting, and we figured
 that it would be a sad old world if everyone had the same opinion re- garding everything. We enjoyed the
 number though. This broadcast was the first from that point and WJZ's engineers and operators had things
 fixed up slick, bringing out the best 1 qualities of the band. Another num- Der was Stop and Listen," an old fashioned ragtime melody brought up to date. Later the "Kashmiri
 Song was played in foxtrot time and
 with the usual modern variations. Two very clever wound ladies, Miss Myrtle Roland and Ditto Ellen Hop kins, calling themselves The Melody Girls, engaged in pleasant harmonies before WJZs mike before we left. Their fresh voices, not too loud,- you know, just subdued to the right
 point, left little to be desired along those lines. Wear 'Em High" and
 Her Bows Are Only Rainbows" were included.
 Selections from Victor Hcrbert's | Fortune Teller" and from The Tales Of Hoffman" helped matters along at WPG, Atlantic City, q station blessed with a great deal of volume. The 11Olel CNcISed concert OIClColTd tL4- tcrtained.
 Then we broke in at WDRC, New Haven, q Connecticut station which is rapidly coming to the fore. Not long ago this broadCaster was not considered among the active per formers and it's programs were more
 or less of an experimental nature.
 But lately it has moved into q new
 studio and has been given a new transmitter, so that it's activities are
 being watched with interest Intense clarity and excellent volume were featured Saturday night when the 192nd Field Artillery band presented
 q concert. We listened to March Gallant 33rd Infantry" the overture from "Raymond" and Always" The work was excellent.
 Not a bit of fading and no distor- tion whatever helped to make the concert admirable. The announcer
