The committee in charge of the tournament has announced that the public is invited to attend the matches tomorrow and every time they are played. The people of the district have displayed unusual interest in the tournament and will be given a chance to witness the events. ‘Where Are the Teachers In answer to the queries of many people in Berlin as to how many teachers have been hired for the coming year in the Berlin schools, the superintendent, Miss Mary Griswold, stated yesterday afternoon that the late superintendent, Benjamin B. Sho- walter, has left no word with her as to how many teachers had been hired as who the teachers were or to whom contracts had been sent out. It is known, however, that several con- tracts have been sent out to various teachers. The keys of the schools were also in the hands of Mr. Showalter until yesterday and it was reported that the members of the school board were forced 160 use the windows in order to gain admittance when they so de- sired. The keys were returned yes- terday. Dnnham Family Reunion The_23rd annual reunion of the tomorrow at the Worthington com- munity house on Berlin street, it being expected that about 100 people will be present. The present members of the fam- ily are descended from Branabus Dunham, who settled in America about 250 years ago, according to William Dunham of Hudson street. For many years past the family has lived either in Berlin or in this vi- cinity, some of the settlers in this section being Gideon Dunham, Cor- nelius Dunham, Alonzo Dunham, Norris Dunham, Henry Dunham and Dennis Dunham, the father-of Wil- liam Dunham. The first reunion was held in 1900 and 140 people were present. The re- union last year was the first ever held in Berlin, about 80 people attending the affair at the community house on August 12. At this time the present officers were elected. They are, Henry Dunham of Middletown, presi- dent Rollin Morse of Berlin, vice- president; Miss Rena Wilcox of West- field, secretary and treasurer. William Dunham recalls the fact that Alonzo Dunham at one time kept a restaurant in Kensington. This was at the time of the building of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the workmen on the road used to come to the restaurant to eat their meals and to get a drink, for liquid refreshments were not for- bidden in those days. Mr. Dunham estimates that about 35 have dropped out since the first reunion of the family in 1900. The affair tomorrow will start some time in the morning and the formal gath- ering will begin with the dinner at 12 o’clock. The cooks of the family are reported to be excellent and all, from latest reports all are looking forward to a hearty and delicious meal. In the afternoon the business meeting of the association will be held and the activities will end at about 6 o’clock. The members are looking forward to as good a time as was had last year, when young and oid pitched in and made the event one of the most enjoyable since the first reunion. Guests are expected from New York ecity, Hartford, South Windsor, Meriden, Westfield and East Berlin. ‘William Dunham was born more than 80 years ago near Lamentation Mountain in this town. He told yes- terday of interesting experiences dur- ing Civil War days. His story of how the men used to hire substitutes to take their places in the army was in- teresting. Mr. Dunham said that at the time of the breaking out of the Civil War he was the only one of his immedi- ate family that was not married and the care of his mother rested upon him. His number was called in the draft and, realizing that he was his mother's sole support, he knew that he could not go to war. He went to his uncle in Newington and borrowed enough money to pay a substitute and then went to take his ‘examinations before the army surgeons. When he told them that he was the only one at home the officers would not allow him to join the army, telling him to stay at home and. care for his mother. Work is Progressing Masons have been busy for the past few days on the new memorial to veterans of the World War from Ber- lin and the stone shaft is now nearly completed. It is constructed of the same stone used to build the wall west of the monument and stands just east of the trellis halfway between the north and south boundaries of the plot of land upon which the soldiers’ monument stands. The shaft stands about seven feet high and space is left for the bronze tablet which will be inserted as soon as it is finished. American Tegh Meeting The next meeting of Bolton-Kasica post of the American Legion will be held on Thursday evening, August 16, at 8 o'clock in the T. A. B. hall, Kensington. the meeting will be the election of delegates to the state convention of th organization in New Britain this fLewis has been one of the most ef- The main business of /West Cromwell. send two delegates to this convention, The members will also probably discuss the removing of the old honor roll in front of the town hall. It hardly seems possible that the old board is to be taken down. Whether or not the Legion will hold a solemn observance of the passing of such a land mark is not known. It's been there so long that many people will feel that they've lost an old and shab- by {riend. With the coming of fall, politics is the general topic of conversation among the business men, taxpayers and women of Berlin, In the post of- fices, stores and even on street cor- ners groups of people when gathered together begin discussing who will comprise the town government for the emsuing year. First Selectmen George Carter is undecided as to whether or not he will be a candidate again for that berth. He has held the position for the past two years and a majority of his supporters believe that he would be re-elected it he announced his candidacy. It is thought by many, however, that Mr. Carter is reluctant about announcing his candidacy until someone else is heard from in town who might express the desire to run. Berlin has been, for the past sev- eral years a strong republican town, and it is expected that the republi- cans will again carry the elections this fall. There have been a number of democrats satisfied with Mr. Carter's work, it is said, and who will be wil- ling when the time come to cast their votes in his favor. This being the case it is quiet certain that Mr. Car- ter would be re-elected. Arthur L. Woodruff, town clerk and treasurer, for the past several years has agaln expggssed the desire to run for this office and once more has thrown his hat into the ring. Mr. Woodruff has been a candidate on the republican amd democratic tickets for some years past and will probably run on bath tickets again this year. Charles F. Lewls, prosecutor in the Berlin court and tax collector for the past few years, is still undecided as to whether or not he will again be a candidate for the position despite the fact that a number of friends have urged him to again seek it. Mr. ficient tax collectors Berlin has had, in the opinion of many of the towns most prominent people and he has been responsible for bringing in bills which had remained uncollected for a number of years, Post’ Office Hours The Kensington post office, as well as the Berlin post office, will be open this evening from 6 until 7 o'clock, daylight time, according to a tele- gram received this morning from the postmaster-general.

Recently the tenants of the apartments and the stores received warnings that the dumping of refuse in the yard would not be tolerated and if the practice was continued, the tenants would be charged with the expense of cleaning up. The cement covered ground will be a welcome addition to the appear- ance of the entire corner. inishing Road The DPlainville-New Britain road is tinished now except for the filling in of the patches left because of the great amount of traffic passing over these spots.

Eforts of the company will not be turned to finishing the remain- der cf the road at the curve near Cooke street.
