First Artillery Men Arrived in Berlin This Morning Wiliam Ringwood Victim of Whoop- ing Cough—President is Upheld at N_Lyeeum Debate—Kensington Man Gets Wrong Pipe First. The residents of Kensington, or at least those, whose duties keep them on Main street, thought they were in Eu- rope this morning, when they saw five of Uncle Sam’s khaki covered troop- ers walking down the street. Imme- giately, pictures of Zeppelins came to their minds, and one efficient public servant ran for the cellar of the build- ing. A clatter of hoofs was heard and a buckboard drawn by two splendid mules and driven by a private turned the corner at Cowles' store and drew up near the Kilby House. One of the men carried a camera and the others, Sketches of the surrounding places. The man with the camera snapped the bridge and then made a few notes. The interest of the citizens was still bent on finding out what the soldiers were doing, so one townsman, a little braver than the rest walked to the team,and questioned the men. Inquiry revealed they are members of the First Artillery, K stationed at Fort Wright, New London and they are taking a survey of the land for government engineers.

HAVING AN 1 NG AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU O AN DEPEND ON PROMPTLY RE- CEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF US. Wilson’s Right. The Kensington Men’s Lyceum held its first debate of the season last even- ing in the Methodist church, before a large crowd. The question was: solved, That the Increase in Our Army as Advocated by President Wilson | Necessary.” The affirmative dis- putants were J. L. Wilson and Harold Upson, while William Emerson and Ora Edgerly upheld the negative side. The judges were Mrs. Henry Moore of Southington, Colonel W. W. Bullen | and A. D. Bradley, both of New Brit- | ain. They decided that the affirma- | tives had proven President Wilson was right by weight of argument. The | next debate will be held on the' twenty-second of this month in the Kensington Congregational church. The question is: “Resolved, That the | Demand for an Eight Hour Workinz | Day Without Reduction in Wages is Justifiable.” A. L. Moffit and A. W. Scholl will be the affirmative speakers | while C. W. Stevens and Harold As- | pinwall will argue negatively. Current Events Club. The Current Events club opened its winter season yesterday afternoon at | the home of Mrs. H. H.

Gordon, colored, a well known member of Kensington’s municipality, where he has lived for about a ba.t century, coming Here in 1867, imme- i diately after the Civil war, was ar- raigned before Judge James T. Meskill in the New Britain p :lice court this morning on the charge of intoxication. He said he had never been arrested before. Judgment was suspended and as he left the court room Gordon shouted over his shoul- der, “Ah’ll never come here again, no sah.” Gordon left Kensington y-- terday morning at 6 o’clock with the firm purpose of buying a stovepipe. His friends became very anxious con- cerning his whereabouts in the alt.r- noon and were thinking of formi.g a are working in this section, three troops, consisting of 160 men, being gtationed at Middletown. The men doing the work in town are under command of Lieutenant Leavensworth. * He is assisted by Corporal Lower and Knight and Privates Wise and Rich- ardson. William Victor Ringwood. William, the one year and twenty J#ays old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ringwood of Main street, Kensington died suddenly at 11:45 o’clock last night. The child had a cold for the past few days, but it was not thought to be of a serious nature. Whooping sough set in early last evening and the little one soon became its victim. He |s survived by his parents, three b¥others, Joseph, Warren and Rich- ard, and one sister, Laura. The fun- sral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will take place in St. John’s cemetery, Middletown. Much sympathy was expressed about town this morning for Mr. and Mrs. Ringwood for they have been very unfortunate the past few months.

The interpretation has not been altogether unfair, for he has often come into politics only as = scholar.

As a thinker he has filled a great place, has borne a great responsibility and | has done great duties.

With the returns still to be made for the sale of many tickets, the com- mittee in charge of the firemen’s fair, which was brought to a close last evening, that the profits will probably exceed $400 and the Hose company's treasury will be materially strengthened as a result, The firemen were jubilant today over the financial success of the undertak- ing and the members who made the arrangements are more than gratified with the showing made. It was one of the most successful fairs, from a financial viewpoint, the history of the company and the firemen have a right to feel well satisfied with their work. Socially, announced today in the fair was all that could be asked for. The large crowds which attendeq every night were entertained with high class musical programs and the dancing was also made enjoyable. It was a real carnival of joy and the patrons sr.oke In complimentary terms of the manner in which the firemen ertertained them. ‘A steady drain on the Hose com- pany's treasury, vhich had its start when the firemcn cet out to purchase an auto truck for the local depart- ment, brought the reserve fund down to $35 and the fair meant a great deal. Much depended on its success and the fire fighters spent some time on the anxfous seat while the plans were being developed. They are entitled to considerable credit for the excellent manner in which the arrangements were made and the successful way in which the fair was conducted. Fire Chief M. A. Norton was in charge of the drawing of prizes which was conducted last night after the dancing. The winners were: $ 5—Baby Chubby, New Britain $25—B.

Had a “Ringer.” With members of Court General Lawton today there was talk of pro- testing the wictory of Court Charter Oak of New Britain in the “forty- five” tournament, in the series of games played in Grange hall last night. The contention is set forth that the visitors used a “ringer,” to whose playing the defeat of the local boys was largely attributed. The New Britain aggregation finished with twenty-five games to its credit while the Plainville Foresters dropped to fifth place in the stand- ing, having won by twenty games. Before playing began there was a protest against one of the members of the visiting team but the local boys finally consented to perimt him to play as there would be a man short without him.
