The show the first of the week was pronounced by many as the best of the season and when it is announced that the show for the remainder is even better than that eof the first, it is “going some.” Owing to the large amount of baggage earried by Mr._ and Mrs.* Colby they will be retained the rest of the week. Their act has been a big success and ‘with a number of new tricks in the black art line they will surely continue to be the talked about headline. An- othér big act that played Poli’s, Hart- ford, the first of the season will be the Robertts European animal circus, who will present an act particularly pleas- ing to the vounger folks. The act con- sists of cleverly trained bears, mon- keys d dogs. A clever sketch, en- titled Matrimonial Squabble,” will be esented by Rogers and Evans. Chas. eilly 'will be seen in his latest oddity, A Character Study. The latest and best motion pictures seem to meet with popular approval. THE AUDITORIUM. A trfo of clever acts are booked in at the Auditorium for Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, making an interest- ing change in the programme. The team of Davenport and Francis have = neat specialty introducing some clev- er character impersonations interpol- ated with good singing. That Comedi- an in Cork, Carl Stazer, will introduce the-latest ideas in Coonology, and his original style of putting his songs and stories over the footlights is proclaim- ed a winner, A pair of live, snappy steppers are Fabian & Taylor, whose dancing places them in the front rank as vaudeville entertainers. Julia Red- mond, Al. Haynes & Co., are retained for the balance of the week and thelir success fully -warrants it, as their sketch, The Critic and the Girl, made an emphatlc hit. Miss Morelle will sing Always Think of Mother, beautifully illustrated. New pictures, headed by The Wages of Sin, will fill out the bill. Did you see The Winning Punch? Well, there’s more where that came from. BREED THEATER. “The Heart of a Cowboy,” Sensational ‘Western Picture. The sensational and romantic picture of life on the plains as shown at the Breed theater for the balance of the week, under the title of The Heart of = Cowboy, portrays the noble sacrifice made by one cowboy to insure the hap- piness’ of his lifelong friend. These two oys ‘love the same girl, and she impartially showers the same af- fection upon both until the moment comes when she must make her choice. She gives both her photograph, and in- scribes them both “To my friend Steve,” whith happens to be the name of both suiters, The man she chooses is mixed up in a cattle stealing event, and loses his photo with the inserip- tion upon it. the authorities seizing the innocent Steve, who admits that he did the stealing, to shield the lover of his old sweetheart. He is led away to be lynched, but the girl hears her promiged husband secretly admit to a pal the true state of affairs and she forces the guilty one to make a written confession, which she grasps and mounts her pony, arriving at the lynching party just in time to save the innocent man. The balance of the pictures are the finest shown this season. and the mar- velous scenic picture, Flower Parade at Pasadena, Cal, is beyond descrip- Miss Wolcott will appear In a new and attractive programme of high- grade and illustrated songs. FORESTRY NURSERY To Be Established in Cheshire—Will End Importation of German Trees. Negotiations have been completed between G. F. Pardee of Cheshire and the Northeastern Forestry company, of which Prof. R. C. Hawley and Prof. J. W. Toumey of the Yale forest school are the prime movers, for the purchase of 100 acres of land in Cheshire, which shall be used as a forestry nursery. The concern making this purchase, ‘which is the only one of its kind in the country, has been in existence for a little over a year. Its plant was for- merly in the Adirondacks, but head- quarters will be shifted to the Che- shire property. ‘The forestry company was formed to supply a want which has been felt all over the country among foresters for young trees in large numbers for the restoration of woodland. The Cheshire property will be used as a nursery on a large scale. In the past it has been found necessar: i trees from Germany, e While the deerlu for the property have not been passed, the deal was comrpleted three weeks ago. It is stat- ed that the price was about $10,000. .+ TO NEW HAVEN RAILROAD. ®lectric System from Rockville and"| Hartford Teansferred from Connec- ticut Company. The operation of the interurban elec- tric system between Rockville and Hartford will be taken over by New Haveu company, The cars are operated partly on the steam tracks, electrically equipped and partly on the highway. The service has hitherto been in charge of the Connecticut company, which is the operating cor- poratien for the New Haven road's trolley lines in Connecticut. The transfer of this interurban line to the management of the steam road has feen under consideration for some WEDGE GATE VALVES Made in Bridgeport for Panama Canal Bridgeport will have ‘its share in .bujlding the Panama canal, as the big valves comtrelling the water in the canal locks were made by the work- t the West End plant of the Crane Valve company, and the last of ‘the 2¢ massive 60-inch “wedge gate” valves to be used in this work has been 3 valves are about the e can be shipped th a time on‘an ordi- nary flat car. But this is not the only work ship- ped from Bridgeport for this c , as much of similar supplies has been shippend to the canal people the yast three years. $700 INCREASE In Commutation Tax in Meriden This Year, Meriden’s commutation tax will be $700 heavier this year, now that the enumerators’ lists have been examined and turned over to the state. An im- portant est‘mate gathered from the lists is the number of malies liable to military duty in case of war. This number is 4,398, The total number liable to pay com- mutation tax is 3,699, making the pay- ment the town will have to make to the state $6,658.20, due November 19, 1910. Ten per g¢ent. is allowed as non- collectable. Meriden will have to pay $721.80 more than last year. The total number enrolled on the list is 4,557, and takes in all male citi- zens between eighteen and forty-five on January 1; 1910, Ninety-seven are exempt by post surgeon’s certfficate of dim\bfllty thir- ty-six by service in army or navy of the United States; ten by present membership in volunteer fire company in this state, such membership having continued one year; two by three years’ consecutive service in volunteer fire company in this state; twenty-one by three years' service in active mil- itia in this state; sixty-two by any other exemptluns expressly provided for by law; 524 minors enrolled; 166 present members of active mlllfii en- rolled. The total number of exempts, mi- nors and members of active militia is 858. CHINESE GRASS To Be Manufactured Into Linen at New Hartford Plant. Workmen are engaged in setting up machinery in the old Greenwoods Co.’s factory, in New Hartford, for the new plant which is shortly to commence in the manufacture of linen from Chinese ggass. Samuel Diggle, who came to| this country from England some months ago and who is an expert in his line, has been getting things in readiness for the opening of the plant, and has been joined in New Hartford by Arthur Thomas, who came from New Hampshire, and who will act as superintendent of the new factory. It is expected that the plant will be ready to commence operations within the next month and that 200 or more hands will be employed. It is claimed for the Chinese grass, when converted into linen, that it will outwear any other kind of linen on the market. Two carloads of machinery have arriv- ed and been set in place and two more carloads reached New Hartford Sat- urday. ELKS’ HOME To Be Built in Meriden Soon—$20,000 Fund Raised. Local Elks are enthusiastic over the prospects for an Elks’ home in Meri- den, says the Meriden Journal. The committee having the matter in charge is working diligently and with the co- operation of 500 active members it is practically an assured fact now that a clubhouse will be built within a short time, perhaps this vear. One of the officers of the Meriden lodge said the other day that something like $20,000 has been raised thus far, and if the plans now under considera- tion for boosting the fund are carried out the sum of $50,000 ought to be available this year. There is talk of doubling the annual membership, and if this is done a por- tion of the revenue collected will be devoted to the building project. The lodge hopes to have a fine build- ing centrally located, and one that will compare favorably with any in this state. Big Income from Trolleys. From Boston it is learned that the New Haven railroad continues to pro- duce extraordinary operating results without the curtailment of mainte- nance expenditures. For the first half of its current fiscal year, or from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1909, the New Haven increased its gross earnings from railroad sources $3,430.- 268, or 12.4 per cent. This is a good gain, but less than many of the west- ern roads are doing. Charles Noel Flagg Going South. Charles Noel Flagg of Hartford will sail from New York Wednesday on the steamer Brazos for Galveston, Tex., to visit his daughter, Mrs. Harry Ire Maxson, who lives at Beaumopt, sev- enty miles from Galveston., He ex- pects to return about March 1.
