Fisk, a New London boy, is to be the democratic candidate for The twenty-ninth annual reunion of the Hotchkiss association will be held @t Lake Compounce today. As a result of the rain and wind many branches were blown off and a number of telephones-put out of com- mission. The 25th Connecticut Volunteer association will hold their annual re- union at Crystal lake, Thursda: August 26. 3 A visitor to Horace Johnson, in Middle Haddam, on Monday, was told that the rain would probably centinue for the remainder of the week.

The raft at Ocean beach suffered from the storm. The wind ripped off most of the canvas covering, which has not been renewed since last year and oné of the mooring ropes was broken. About 50 excursionists from Willl- mantic passed through Norwich by special train over the Central Vermont road Wednesday morning, taking pas- sage later on the steamer Block Island for the day. It is feared that New England may not be visited by the delegation of 15 prominent business men from Ja- pan this fall, as the New Haven road bas declined to haul their special trair without charge. The awards for photographs shown at the twelfth convention of the New England Photographers' association at Boston the first of August, are being veceived. George Tingley of Mystic received a first prize, The promise is made by the mana- gers of the Connecticut fair, at Hart- ford, September 6 to 11, that this ex- position is to include by far the larg- est exhibition of farm machinery ever seen in New England. Vacationists reutrning from Long Island say that the early potato crop was good, but the later crop is stunt- ed and dried by dry weather. Rain will not benefit many potato fields much, as the vines are too far gone. The earlier native peaches are com- ing into the market, a little later this year ‘than usual, on account of the dry weather. The heavy rain will hasten along the crop when there is a little sunshine to ripen the fruit. In Hartford, September 17, reunions of the Wighth, Eleventh and Sixteenth regiments will be held, and during the' day the statue, The Soldier Boy, pre- sented by Col. W. F. Cheney, will be turned over. September 17 is the 47th anniversary of the battle of An- tietam, in which the Sixteenth was nearly cut to pieces and Colonel Che- ney severely wounded.

Benjamin was born Preston Jan. 19, 1834, the son of Ni than and Hannah Cook Benjamin, be- ing one of six children. He married Frances E. Miner, who died a few years ago.

She was a kind neighbor and had a host of triends. She is survived by three sons Michael J., Patrick and John McCar- thy, of this city, and leaves a sister, Mary, in New York city. Wheaton Brown. Wheaton Brown of East Douglass, Mass,, who was on his way to attend the reunion of the Eighteenth Connec- cut in this city on Wednesday, died suddenly at the Packerville station about § o'clock Wednesday morning. He had stopped off there the. nigit before to visit his nephew, Postmaster Thomas J. Brown of Packerville, but taken suddenly ill at the station. He did not seem to be dangerously sick, but it was decided to care for him at the station in that night as the post- master's house is some distance away. When Station Agent B Montgomery left him, he was s| ing in a shed back of the station. In the morning at 7 o'clock, Mr. Brown seemed somewhat better and also at 7.30, but at 8 when the station agent visited him again he found he had passed away. Death was pronounced due to heart disease by Dr. Adams, the medical examiner. Mr. Brown was about 80 vears old and always attended the reunions. He was a native of Voluntown, working as a mule spinner there for many years. He was married to Miss Etta Stanton of Voluntown. He was a member of Company I, commandefl by Capt. Samuel R. Knapp of this city, and enlisted from Sprague, tak- ing the place of a brother who was drafted. He was one of those captured in the battle of Winchester and par- oled the same month. He was mus- tered out June 26, 1365. He leaves a brother residing in East Douglass. Postmaster Thomas J. Brown of Pac erville and Postmaster W. H. Brown of Jewett City are both nephews.

Sold By SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct auglzs Philadelphia There were thirty-five games plaved in the national roque tourney here on | Wednesday, the last ones not being finished until after 11 o'clock at’night, in the effort to make up for the time lost because of the rain on the open- ing days. The few entries in the third division has made it possible for the playing off of more than the usual number of second division games, a big advance being made Wednesday. Movement to Change Gities. Roque politics were being _quietly played throughout the day on Wednes- day aand a movement is on foot to have the national tournament changed from Norwich to Philadelphia next vear. The success of the plan is not at all assured, but it is being carefully put forward and the feeling of the Blgvers is being solicited by the Phi déiphia players who are here this ye: in large numbers prepared to do all | that is possiblé to get the tournament to their eity. They will invite the tournament there for 1910. and their plan will be set forth by Kdmunds probably on Frid It will not be to give up the grounds here but to have the tournament in Philadelphia N.

New London and Dan- | bury players are opposed to the change while some of the Springfield delega- | tion will not favor it Willimantic | will not of course favor the proposed | plan. While it is_claimed that more Philadelphia and Washington players | would participate if the change is! made, this by many of the plavers is| considered to mean that the strugzle would simply be between Washington and Phiiadeiphia players, as all others | would be strangers to those courts. | while there are but very few who have the advantage of practicing here, leav- ing the changes equal for all, It will require more than a majority vote to make the change and it is doubt- ful if it can be done without a_chanze in the by-laws which say that tpe tournament shall be held at Norwich and in that case the change could not be made until the year following. Philadelphia is said to be a hot citv and rainy during August, which is a strong argument against the change and if it is desired to boom the game it can be done here as well as in the other city. Norwich has always con- tributed largely for the entertainment of the roque players, furnishing music and good audienes while band concerts have been given each year. Sentiment with many of the players will play a strong part in retaining the tourney here where for so many years it has been held. The local courts can be made just as fine as those in Philadel- phia If the association desires so that the only advantage offered there can be a bigger entry list fom Philadelphia and Washington where about fort from each city could enter if they deesired, giving but little show to out- siders. Annual Meetii 9. The annual meeting of the associa- tion was held on Wednesday shortly after 2 o'clock with President McDon- ald presiding. The report of the sec- retary, N. L. Bishop, was read and accepted, the latter showing a balance on hand of $77.67. There was a re- port from the committee on grounds as well as from the finance committee. A brief report was made by the com- mittee on rules but another will be made later.” Chairman Robinson of the arrangements committee reported the games proceeding but some doubt about the third diyision, in which only Norwich players are ‘entered As a nominating committee W. H. ahly, F. M. Thompson and C. H. Goldey were appointed and they re- ported the following for election and stheir report was accepted and unani- mously carried ouf President, J. C Ki Philadelphia; first vice president, G. Williams, Washington; sec vice president, Harold Bosworth v London; third vice president, King, Chicago; secretary and treasurer, Nathan L. Bishop, Norwich; official editor, Charles Jacobus. Secretary and Treasurer N. L. Bish- op desired to resign the office, but the committee would not listen to such a proposition, but it is probable an assistant will be given him at the ad- journed meeting, which will be held on Frid Van Wickle Games Played. The first of the Van Wickle zames were played on Wednesday afternoon when ex-Champion Bosworth succeed- ed in getting two of the three games played with Champion Clark. Bos- worth at present holds the medal, and Clark challenged him, the contest be- ing four out of seven games. Bosworth had no trouble ~ at all in trimming Clark the first two games, but in the third Clark kept him tied up and fail- isg to get the balls he was unable to do anything. This afternoon there will be more of the medal games played. Important Tournament Games. Several important tournament games were played on Wednesday, perhaps the most important, as it resulted, be- ing the one between McDonald and E. Clark, which was won by the for- mer, being a defeat of the champlon from an unexpected quarter. It was a finely plaved game, with the few distressir- features which character- ize the game. McDonald played his best game but came near losing. it when victory was within reach.

Bosworth in the morning played his second tournament game, having H. Clark as his opponent, and made & run of the grounds after each had sur- prised the crowd by their misses. He has not lost as yet. Williams got in- to the game on Wednesday for the first time and when the lights went out at night he was leading the bunch, having beaten H. Webb as his first victim, while he later trimmed Hoge- land, and in an hour and three-quar- ters game with Robinson, won out, in the evening. This game looked like Robinson's for a long time because of Williams' inability to hit at short range, cven, but he recovered later, and on a carom shot regained the balls {and ran out the game, with Robinson having a rover and the other for the cage on the return. Wahly played his first game Wed- nesday afternoon, with Webb winning only a few arches. Webb got balis and made a good rum, but Wahly had a good eye and his long shots counted, as did his caroms, and by consistent playing won his opening game. Robinson and Baker have the rec- ord for a long game thus far, having played for two and three-guarters hours in the afternoom, while all of his games on Wednesday were long, he getting in his first victory when he trimmed Edmunds, Rudd played a pretty game with F. Webb and won on Wednesday evening but fell down to Browning later on in 4 long game, his second ball being for age on the return when Browning thumped the stake. At the close of play Williams was in the lead with three straight victories, Bosworth being second with two, and Wahly third with one, while King has wo three and lost but one, the ( rk brothers coming next with two won and one lost each. In the secorl division, Felton, Steele and Kirk hdv/ an unbroken line of victories, each having won three, while Williamson and Whittaker have won the same number, but lost one Result of Games.

Band Concert. On Wednesday evening the specta- tors’ henches and stand were weil fill- ed, the tournament games on_during the evening affording much pleasure, and the interest of the audience was manifested by frequent applause. Tubbs' band was in attendance and furnished delightful music, the pro- gramme being carried out to the plea ure of the players and assembled spe. tators. The Trumpeter's Departure was the feature number and an_encore was necessary, the solo by F. k. King, cornet, being heartily received. The trombone solo by James Woods was also_finely rendered and received a big hand. During the afternoon an orchestra of three pieces furnished a much enjoyed programme, Players Not Entered. here arrived on Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. F. E.

Organized to Give Protection in That Section—To Buy Hose Carriage and Ask Town for Hose. - An_additional fire fighting force in the town was added Wednesday) night at a meeting at_the Noah Webster clubhouse on the Norwich Town green, when the Harland Fire company No. 1 was_organized to giye fire protection at Norwich Town. Officers were elect- ed and the company started with teen members signing the roll the first night. Dr. Frederic P. Gulliver, president of the Ryral association, under whose au- spices’ the meeting was held, called the meeting to order shortly after So'clock with fifteen present. In explaining t purpose Of the meeting Dr. Gu said that he felt it a great honor to preside, as it was really a second re- vivdl of the first fire company formed in Conmecticut. He read the original record showing how the company had before been revived on May 15th, . at a meeting where John T. Wait was chairman and Thomas Harland clerk. The grandfather of Thomas Harland, he said, built the first fire engine In Connecticut. The first business was the election | of Thomus Casey as clerk. The chair- | man theu read a circular letter which | had been sent out asking for subscrip- tions to raise $50 with which to pur- | chase a hose carriage which Chief Stanton would sell. and it was also stated in the letter that Dwight L. Un- derwood had offered the use of his barn to keep the carriage in, the town was to be asked to furnish 500 feet of hose {0 be used with the carriage, a system of alarms o the bell of the First Con- gregational church was to be arranged, and the securing of some sort of chem- ical was to be considered. Dr. Guliver stated that he had already secured more than enough money to buy the hose carriage. He also read the peti- tion to the selectmen to insert in ihe warning for the next town mceting the matter of furnishing the 500 feet of rubber lined hose. . The chairman explained that Nor- wich Town now had fire protection ily through courtesy of the city of Norwich or of Yantic, but there would be 14 hydrants avaliable if the had the hose to use. As the hose furnished by the town, it was to be understood that the néw company to be formed would go with it whenever Chief Stanton, M Williams ~ at Yantic or Mr. Ecc at Taftville wanted them. In reply to a question, the chairman explained that alarms might be convey ly by tele- phone, that a company might be o ganized under a committee of the Rural association, and the might be divided up into sections. Woodbury O. Rogers said that he thought the establishment of a com- pany would probably reduce fire rates, and John W. Mullen and Thomas Buckiey spoke, showing much inter- est in the formaiton.

John W. Mullen and Carroll Adams wer committee to confer about chemicals before the next meeting with Chiet Stanton, Winslow T. Williams and John Eccies. The chairman explained that hand grenades, chemical tanks and small chemical engines had been considered.
