there are still blind pigs doing business in Newmarket More Accommodation Wanted Several times we have called at tention to the fact that Newmar ket has outgrown her public hall capacity and this was manifest ly apparent last Friday night Long before the time appointed for the meeting to begin theeat- capacity of the Town Hall was fully occupied and yet the side walks and road in the vicinity of the building were blocked with people Not only is more accommo dation required for local gather ings but the central location of Newmarket in the North Riding of York demands a building of capacity to meet Hie needs of the people and if the town is to maintain its position as The Hub it is to enlarge the Town Hall For years the political gatherings of importance have overtaxed the capacity of tin present- building and it is time provision was made in the public interests An extension of feet to the South affording more market accommodation on the ground- floor would be a very justifiable expenditure Newmarket High It a gratification to read in the announcement of Scholarships that one of our own High School Students figure among the successful ones nest ranked for two schol arships
