Although this list is quite small for this late date, those in-charge of the horse racing departmerit feel confi- dent that many more entries will be made in the coming few months and that the ‘races this year will be ‘as good, it not better than those held here in past years. Contrary to custom, there will be no races on the first day of the fair, children’s day. This will result in a saving of several hundred dollars, some of which will be utilized for ad- ditional vaudeville feattres on the opening day. Instructions Regarding Mad Dogs. Jeffery O. Phelps, Jr., state com- missioner on domestic animals, has sent the local authorities the follow- ing instructions regarding cases of mad dogs: -“Whenever a dog suspected of be- ing rabid and a post mortem examina- tion of the brain for negri bodies is desired, the dog should be shot through the heart or”in such other humane manner as will preserve the entire head without wounds. “The entire head should then be placed in a clean empty paint pail or other clean and tight receptacle, gealed, and enclosed in a larger Te- ceptacle containing ice.

A. & B. fife and drum corps of Kensington ‘are disappointed because they have been deprived of an opportunity to make a few additions to their collec- ‘tiqn of trophies, by virtue of the fact “that a contest, which Was to be ‘given Satyrday by the Silver City fife and drum corps of Meriden has been called off. The local musicians expected to .capture the major's prize ang a tro- phy for the best ‘playing corps. Two former members, James and ‘William O’Brien, who were with the corps at the timme of their organiza- tion four years ago, have rejoined, much to the benefit of the aggrega- tion, for both are fifers of consider- able ability.

Improvement in Water. While complaints about a nauseat- ing smell and flavor to the water fur- ! nished the townspeople were numer- ous for a day or two last week, there has ben but little unfavorable talk since Wednesday and reports from im- that there has been a decided | provement. The quality of the water for a few vears when the reservoir supply was used ‘exclusively even in the summer and many thought that the use of the wells at Mountain View had been dis- | days served as a reminder of previous i | continued and water from _Crystal | lake was being substituted. According to officers of the comr- pany such was not the case. The sudden change in the water, which is usually clear as crystal, puzzled them considerably. They now attri- bute it to stagnation of water in the stand pipe on the mountain which takes the overflow from the pipes and supplies the town Wwhile the purmps are not in operation. A solution of sulphate of copper was put in the reservoir last Saturday to destroy the vegetable growth on the bottom and get the water ih shape for use in the fall. But Five Weeks Left. Only five weeks of the town's fiscal vear remain and the selectmen and other officers are now making prepar- ations to clean up accounts before the preparation of their annual reports Tt is belleved that the action of ‘the voters in raising the tax rate to fourteen mills last fall has brought up the revenue to such an extent that for the first time in yemrs the ac- counts can be balanced without show- ing a deficit for the year. The select- men expect to make a good financial showing in this year's report. They have practiced strict economy during the year and spent but little money for improvements except in cases where they were absolutely needed. Brief ITtems.
