75-mile velocity out of the north
east, the two scheduled events for
the opening afternoon of the fifth
annual Maine Winter Carnival were
set over until the elements were
soothed sufficiently to permit of en-
joyment of the spectators, as well
as to give the management opportu-
nifty to search out their ice speedway
for the horse racing and the hockey
rink for the schoolboy clash.
There was every indication late
last night that the big snowfall of
Thursday would provide splendid
opportunity for the many events ar
ranged for today, with the high and

basement of the Boston Market, on the
street floor of the two-and- a-half-

ed candidates are Judge Benjamin

to be his heirs.
They did not accompany the body
back for burial, SO there was no act

ferred everything to his lawyer to-
day. The contest is expected to be-
gin within day or so.N as Little

ably will be opened soon after the
funeral.
