The show open- ed yesterday and will close today. In the minds of the officials of the society and of interested grow- ers, the display this year yis the largest and best in the history of the horticultural organization, Mr. Diggle, who has devoted his time during the past few scasons to the raising of dahlias rather than of gladioli, for which he became fa- mous, entered only these flowers in the show. His display was the most colorful and the prettiest at the show. He was awarded the greatly cov- eted gold achicvement medal offer- ed by the Garden and Home Build- er, the greatest promotion agency in the United States in the growing of dahlias, for the best un-desseminat-, «d seedling. The aw was made by Darrell Hart, editor of the Gar- den and Home Builder, considered the foremost authority in the coun- try on the flower. The scedling was named by him “Mardi Gras.” Mr. Diggle was also awarded a silver cup denoting first prize for! Among the flowers, he received first prize for the 0 foot dis- play on the floor. His section of the pacious hall was the center of at- traction for the thousands of visi- | jtors who crowded in the show yes- | terday. He reccived first prize for the Lest basket of dahlias. This was an extraordinary ussembly of some of ithe rarest specimens known to the business. He was also awarded first prize for the best vase, another colleceion of beauty and wonderment for the other entries at the show. Last year, Mr. Diggle, at the New York show, won the gold medal of the exhibit for his display of the dahlia, called *“Clansman,” which he | introduced this spring to the coun- try. ~ { Knapp Also Wins Howard M.

Trollcy Wire Falls More than 1,000 feet of charged trolley wire fell about 2 o'clock this morning on the Plainville-Southing- ton line just at the town line and for | long time, high excitement reigned n the neighborhood. Resjdents near the scene tele- phoned to Constable George Schu- bert that the wire was down gnd that the telephone poles were afire. He quickly communicated this in- formation to Fire Chief Edward P. Prior and James Boswell. They took the department truck to the dangerous condition. Weakened, it is thought. by the | territic electrical storm which passed | over Plainville yesterday afternoon, the wire broke off and descended to the rails. Kor more than an hour a real pyrotechnic display of flashes <PLAINVILLE® TONIGHT ROD TaROCQUE in “HOLD 'EM YALE" Drama, Comedy, Action Jack Mulhal and red hot streaks ws witnessed as the wire sizzled and seared along the tracks, sending off brilliant flashes every time it came in contact with a und. Constable Schubert nctified the Connecticut Co. officials of the con- dition and in a short time a wreck- ing crew was on the job. The wires were repiared in time for the open- ing of morning service, - Voters to Be Made Voters will be made temorrow from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. in the office of the board of selectmen in the town hall.

There are nuymerous others who have filed applications since that time but they will not be made tomorrow. They will have the opportunity of taking the electors’ oath on October 13. Members of the republican wom- en’s committee will be in the town hall all day tomorrow to demon- strate how the voting machine should be used, New voters or per- sons who have veen voters, may take this epportunity of finding out directly how the machines are oper- ating 80 that they v:ill be able to vote intelligently on election day. Rounds Up Boys After an investigation that has lacted more than a month, Consta- ble George Schubert has rounded up nearly 30 boys who were found re- sponsible for breaking the window panes in the deserted Bristol Manu- facturing Co. plant on West Main street. All the lights of glass in the window have been broken by stones thrown by boys. Constable Schubert stated today that he planned no court action in the case. He and a contractor have figured out the cost of replacing the glass and the parents of each boy will be required to pay slightly over one dollar for the damage done. Those refusing to pay the amount will be summoned to court, the con- stable ¢ 1. Constable Schubert is receiving must praise for the man- ner iy which he handled this case as it was a difficult one. However, {through several channels, he was en- abled to find the boys responsible for the damage and he has reached a happy solution i.. giving the par- ents a chance to settle for the dam- ages without the necessity of a court appearance. Changes Position Bryon Tredo has resigned his po- sition as manager of the A. & P store on Whiting street and he has Joinéd the Economy force across the street, Mr. Tredo has been connect- ed with the A. & P. stores for more than five ycars. He left his position last night and started this morning with the Economy Co. He will, it is expected, be appointed manager of one of the Economy stores within a few days. A new Economy store opened to- day in the Strand building on West Main street. It is in charge of Her- nan Voisard, formerly a clerk in | the Whitlng street store. age Fist Fight An argument over the recent seiz- wre of two slot machines by (on- stables George Schubert and George Irar resulted in a lively fist fight between Harry Turner, well-known man about town, and Chris Zahary, | proprietor of the Palace of Sweels and ulleged possessor of gaming machines, yesterday. Both men were the worse for wear following the =hort display of fisticuffs and the battle was called a draw. Charges of “stool pigeon, squeal- cr” and other names is reported to be the dircct cause of the fight, Za- hary claiming that Turner had caused his arrest. No official action is cxpected to be taken in the mat- ter a8 no complaint has heen re- cefved by the police authorities. The case of Zahary was not tried in town court last night be the inabflity of Zahary's counsel to appear, He has retained Judge Wil- liam J. Malone to defend him. Farm Group Formed A Plainville group of the Hartford County Farm Burcau was formed here yesterday following the meet- ing held in the Plainville Baptist church. The group consists of about 25 members. The meeting was well attended and much interest and enthusiasm was in cvidence. Miss Olea Sands, home demonstrator of the bureau, explained the different phases of the work and Mrs. Carr of Poquo- nock of some of the accomplish- nients and experiences for the past three ycars of the Windsor group. The fact that the ladies’ Aid socicty of the Advent Christian church was holding its annual busi- ness meeting and the Woman's Fed- eration of the Congregational church was on an outing at the shore, caused the attendance to be smaller than was expected but un- doubtedly many of these women will join the group at a later date. The Ladies’ Aid soci of the Baptist church served tea and wa- fers at the close of the meeting. Scout Troop Activitles Troop No. 33, Roy Scouts, will start its fall activities with a meet. ing in the Legion rooms tonight. All members are urged to attend :nd meet the new assistant scout ma: ter, Mr. Barker. Scout Master Frank LaVasseur is anxious to show Mr. Barker what a really live troop is.

The last three named have announced their candidacy for the democratic nomination of con- gressman from Hartford county. Up to the present time over 500 | fickets have been sold. according to | Mr. Dutton and many requests have | Lbeen turned down, City Hall Offers | Offers for the present City hall on i North in street are few and far between, according to informatio | obtainable this morning. It is | definitely known, however, that ene real cstate man only a few days ago | made a bona fide offer of $150,000 to {4 member of the city council. This offer was & verbal one and not in the form of a bid as required by the city council. 1t is commonly understood that members of the city council expect to receive at least $225.000 for the property in question. Real estate men, however, are inclined to scoff ot this figure for the reason that they contend that a large amount of money would have to be spent he- for the building would be adaptable for husiness purpos On the other hand a number of taxpayers are expressing disapproval over the expenditure of any money at this time for a new City hall, It is their belief that, with the top floor vacated by the removal of the American Legion to the new armory on Center street, sufficient room is available for City hall pur- - |poses. It is pointed out that the court room could be moved to the top floor and the city clerk’s office | extended into the present city court 100m, Whether or not any action will be | taken when the city council meets | on next Tuesday evening, September 18, is problematical, 1 no bids are | received, it is probable that the mat. | ;' ill be shelved, temporarily at | cast, v Boy Wandcrers Return The comtorts of home proved too | [Breat an allurement to Howard Busse of 171 Burlington avenue and | Jacob Kurlij of Margery street, both | who started out on Tuesd the world.” and as a result they returned to their respective domi- ciles last evening. and reported to school this morning.
