Five Beauties in Parade

Fivt attractive young ladies' ap-
reared for the beauty parade, ana as
each came through the lane open
ed up in the big crowd of people 10
the diving float she was accoroeo
enthusiastic applause by the specta-
TORS. The judges task in this con-
test was most difficult, and 1t was
perhaps particularly appropriate
that a special corps Of experts on
feminine pulchritude had oeen
named and that all three were men
of unuuestionable judicial qualifca-
tions. all court justices and chalr-
named bv Judge Fred Emery Beane'
Dean of the Maine Bench.
So carefully did the beauty con-
fest Judges weigh the many points
at issue before naming the winner
IF the title, Miss Maine" that no
inkling Of the fortunate contestant
identity could be obtained until sne
was introduced at the grand ball IN
the Rainbow Garden pavilion during
intermission.
Another of the boat races which
provided some real competition was
that in the sailing classes. There
being hut one contestant at its class,
the "Hope-Well," captained by CHI
tnn A. Plummer of Pine Bluff and
Augusta, was sent away with the
"sneak-boats" and cat ringers. 1t
was a genuine surprise to many who
have followed boating on Lake COP
hosseecontee for years to see TINS
catamaran type of boat leading the
fleet when the white sails were sight,
cd on the home stretch of the four
mile course. The "Hope-Well" has
been sailing Cobbosseecontee and
Kennebec waters for more than
nuarter century and she led the
trim little craft which are designed
for lake sailing when the bunch
came down to the finish line. Cap
tain Plummer was given silver
trophy cup as special award.
Canoe Race Thrilling
Bows and councillors from Camp
Cobbosseecontee figured prominently
in several of the events, and one or
the most holly contested races OF
the day was the double canoe event
in which first and second places were
taken by the team from this famous
old boys camp, and the team of lake
guides, respectively.
First place winners in all events
were presented with handsome silver
trophy cups, while second place
awards included splendid articles of
camp and sporting equipment. The

Evening Social Feature

Probably one of the largest and
happiest crowds of the entire season
was in attendance at the Rainbow
Garden pavilion in the evening to
participate in and enjoy the dancing,
the vaudeville, the pyrotechnic dis
play and the presentation of Miss
Maine"
The music was superb, with hum
dreds of couples gliding out onto the
smooth surface of the dance floor for
each number. and everyone entered
into the spirit of carnival which
made the evening program one CT
particular enjoyment and a most
memorable one in the history of re-
gatta assemblies.
Two splendid orchestras played a
zestful program of dance numbers,
and not the least enjoyable feature.
Judged on the point of general par
ticipation, was the playing of old
time and familiar tunes, which the
dancers and hundreds Of observers
inside and outside Of the attractive
pavilion, joined in singing in Choir

mated with Art Spaulding's Rainbow

Want Bobby Jones
in Western Open

If Albert Buchanan, chairman of
the sports and pastime committee
of the Highland Golf and Country
Club, could have his big wish there
would be an announcement saying
that Bobby Jones has accepted the
invitation of the Highland officials
and would play in the Western open
championship at the Highland links
Aug. 26, 81 and %.
Jones just now is the big man of
golf. He has more color, more Of
the dramatic than any other golfer.
Young, socially prominent, cham
pion of the three big classes, Jones
stands as the leading man in com.
petitive golf.
And that is why many PROPOSE
tions are being made to Jones to get
him to come to Indianapolis for the
Western open. The committee has
heard nothing definite from him and
they feel that they have a chance
yet TO induce him to enter.
While the great field Of stars In
the Western open will be the pro-
fessionals, there will be many crack
amateurs entered.
