Chautauqua Tomorrow. Chavtauqua in Berlin will begin to- morrow and will stay until Friday of this week. This is the first attempt that this source of entertainment has been offered to Berlin people and from all prospects it seems as though chau- tauqua will be a success here and will be repeated locally in years to come. The community chautauqua, which is to appear here has only been organiz. ed for four years and during this time has grown to be one of the best in the country. Last year, only six sessions of the show were held and this year there will be tweive. The tent for the chautauqua will arrive in town late this afternoon from Khode Island. Miss Loring Roth, who will be the children's director, also arrived in town today and is already making preparations for the Pied Pjper’s par- ade to be held tomorrow evening pre- ceding the opening performance in the tent which will be placed on the Kensington school grounds. The tent is one of the flewest models on the chautauqua circuits and will he surrounded by a large fence for protection. There will also be a gayvly decorated entrance. The junior de- partment, as has been stated before, is one of the large features of the chautauqua. Prizes will be awarded for th> youngster having the best cos- in single bed size for $9.00 pair.

Previous to this time however, business meetings will be keld at which time a mayor will be clected as will his clerk and other officers.

There are 20 states in the United States served by this same organization as well as 3 provinces in Canada. Taking all in all, there are about 22,000,000 people the United States who see chautauqua each year.

Road Inspection The three selectmen of the town have recently completed a thorough inspection of the dirt roads in Berlin and report they are all in the best of condition with a few exceptions. It is thought that the roads are in better condition today than they have been for many years past. There are still a few repairs to be made on some of them.

More than 75 persons attended the unnual outing of the Plainville Cham- ber of Commerce which was held at Momauguin Saturday afternoon. Ex- cellent weather was with the party and’ the affair was pronounced one of the most successful held in years. Automobile transportation was pro- vided for by Edwin H. Hills and there was plenty of room for those attending. The line of cars, about 20 in all, left the front of the com- merce rooms at about 12:30 o'clock noon and headed for the shore. Pla- cards were placed on the radiators of i [cach car heralding the approach of the members of the chamber. The cars started out in good order but it seemed that when the town line of Plainville-Southington was passed, inutiny came on deck and it appeared that every man was for himself and the line broke off onto three or four different roads. Notwithstanding this, che party arrived at the beach in more or less order and headed for the dining hall. F. L. Benzon had apparently arranged with the chef 1t Swift's pavilion to have a first- class dinner on the bill as everything for the empty stomach was placed Lefore the hungry members. It was . fine dinner. The committee is to e congratulated on this. Although with heavy stomachs, sev- eral of the men joined in the sports which were held at the field. The aseball game between the married ind the single men proved a wonder. ’he married men walked away with he game with the co-operation of ihe ump “Dan” Collins. 'Twas many raw deal went through but there vas little chance with Dan for an argument. The score ended, 10 to 3, n the fourth inning. Tf it had lasted nine innings, murder would probably be in the eyes of the single fellows. Allan Bailey and Al Malmgren com- rosed the battery for the married men while Charles Livingston and Judd Wadsworth was the battery for the single men. The slugging of *“Jay” Warfield vas the feature of the game and several times Swift came out to see vhat was hitting the roof of his pa- vilion, nearly a quarter of a mile «way. Those in bathing ducked every ‘ime Warfield came to the bat. Next vear they ought to use a tennis call, it bounds easier and wouldn’t hurt the fingers of John Lamb or “harley Diggle. In the 100 yard dash, several dash- ing youths and married men took part. It ended with Allan Bailey tak- ing first prize. Of course he had his baseball spikes on and that account- ed for the speed. Charles Livingston won second prize by a shoelace length and they were awarded a razor strap and cuff links for their efforts. In the first heat, John Lamb, Albino Gnazzo, G. Buell and Judd Wads- worth came close to winning but they stepped on their tongues and tripped near the goal. The time for Bailey was six seconds, with six instead of sixty seconds for a minute. The fat man's race was a free for all fight. Several weighing over 300 were given a handicap and a slight head start. Panting, the racers waited for the shot to be fired by Starter Charles Newton and after half an hour’s wait poised on all fours, New- ton announced that something was wrong with the pistel. It wouldn't go off. They were examining it when —bang! the gun exploded and the race was on. Stanley S. Gwillim, who isn't fat, reached the tape, took a drink of water, and turning, saw the others coming after him. He was presented with first prize for his fleetness and received an Eversharp pencil to jot down the time and place of his victory. He did the 50 yards in four seconds, big question mark, and said if he had been hungry he would have done it in two. He gen- crally makes that time during the noon hour from Trumbull's to his home on Hough street. The standing broad jump was won by “Buzz” Cook who was awarded a pair of cuff links. He jumped eight feet, four inches. The swimming and rowing races were not held on account of the high tide coming in and besides that, it was getting dark and the swimmers were afraid to get lost in the waters on the way to Brazil. These were called off and the party started for good old Plainville. The committees in charge of the en- tire affair were given most hearty thanks by those attending and are to be commended for the excellent way the outing was managed. Baseball Results. The Aces were defeated by the Avon baseball club yesterday after- noon by the score of 3 to 1. Healey, pitching 'for the Avon aggregation, held the locals down to four hits. Lynch, pitching for the Aces, allowed the visitors but three hits. This game makes one victory for each team and la third game will be played to de- ‘cide the better players, The Plainville A. C. lost to the In- dependents at Allen's field yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 to 3. It was a close game and the locals ‘'made a good rally in the eighth in- ning but it was of no avail. Phelps and Wadsworth were the battery for the locals while Smith and Fauther were the battery for the Independents. = The Plainville Trust Co. PLAINVILLE, CONN.

A 3tudebaker roadster owned Alex Karasinicz of this town, lided with a Ford car owned and driven by Mrs. Frank Terry of 505 Main street, New Britain, on the New Britain road about 6:15 o'clock last right. The Ford car suffered some damages and Mrs. Terry was shaken up. The Studebaker had both front wheels smashed. No one was injured seriously. Details of the accident were given by both parties and wit- nesses. Karasinicz is alleged to have been driving towards New Britain while Mrs. Terry was on her way towards Plainville. The Studebaker car is said to have attempted to pass around eight other cars on the road and in doing so, struck the Ford car head on. When the Studebaker car was found, it was on the extreme left hand side of the road. Constable John Conlon made an investigation and a probable charge of reckless driving will be brought against Kar- asinicz. by col- William Granger.

Warfield of Park street, Plainville and Augusta and Erna Granger of Forestville. Two sisters, Mrs. Frank H. Gilbert and Mrs. Amn- nia L. Hall of Bristol also survive him. The funeral arrangements are incomplete. Death was due to meningitis of the brain. Mr. Granger had been suffering for some time with an in- fected left hand. It was thought to have been blood poisoning which he contracted while working at his moulding at the Sessions foundry at Forestville. His hand was swollen twice the size of its normal shape and he was under the care of a nurse. His condition became worse and he was removed to the hospital for treatment. He failed to rally however. Mr. Granger was well| known locally and had lived here for a number of years. His sudden death will be mourned by all those who knew him. Episcopal Church Notes.

Berlin, Aug. 29..—An invention by which detailed, enlarged moving pie- tures of intricate surgical operations are taken without interfering with the operating physicians and without ths presence of a camera cperator has been perfected by Dr. A. von Rothe, of Rer- lin, and nov, is being used in a number of German medical universities, for the benefit of students. It is claimed that the students secure better instruction from a study of the moving picture of the operation than from witnessinzg the operation itself. The *‘operation to hang directly camera’ is designed above the operating physician's hands. The cinematographi- cal lamps are in a room above, separat- ed from the operating room by a glass roof. After the machine has been placed in position an operating physician or a nurse can start it by pressing an elec- trical foot device which is all the at- tention necessary on the part of the doctor or the attendants_ On Your Vacation Whether you are at the shore or in the mountains, you will want to keep in touch with the folks at HERALD - Follow You are away :ne Herald’s staff of reporters will be on the job and you can get the New Britain news daily as you do when you are at home by having the paper mailed to you.
