National “Roque Champion Harold Bosworth of New London, who has already been here several times so far this season for daylight practice on the Rockwell street grounds, was at the grounds Tuesday evening for practice by electric- light and in his | game displaved the fine form which has characterized nis play in all his zames so far this year. His opponent was National Secretary Erank H. Foss, whom he defeated in one game, and then took on for another, in which the champion had a lead, but was compelled to leave for his car before the game could be finished. playing his -usual cool, ‘Tesourceful game, in which he is ready at any time to take advantage of any slip by an opponent and when he once gets the balls there is small chance usually for the other man to see them again. It looks as if Bosworth would be found in top form to defend his title when the national tourney opens here next Tuesday. Some of the feature contests of the coming tourney will be between Champion Bosworth and C. C. King of Chicago, for pw¥ssession of the Van Wickle medal, and it is probable that some of the decisive games in this series will be played at night. King holds the medal now and has been challenged to play by Bosworth, In preparation for the tourney, the executive committee of the Norwich Roque and Tennis club has appointed the following arrangement committee: - Bosworth is’, ‘ ln; ‘Tuesday evening Charles Tyler Bard, chairman; James. L. Case, Arthur Robinson and John L. Mitchell. They will at once proceed to fix upon the details, but it is ex- pected that there will be the usual orchestra. and band concerts which are always populat. A member of the club stated that the committee intend- ed t6 give some of the merchants and others intérested n madntaining the tournament here a chance to show their interest by ‘vontributions for the ‘expenses. One entry thls season: which will give addded interest will be the re- turn to the game of C. C. Cox of Malderi, Mass., an undefeated national champion, -who is coming:back to the sanded courts after being out of the game for several years. President Charles Williams of/Wash- ington is now at Oak.Bluffs, Mass., for the week, and on the courts guily, and expects a big year. From Wash- ington, Baker, Dudley Willlams and Captain Wahly will be on hand for the national tournament. Ex-Cham- pion W. H. Wahly will not play this year and will probably not attend. Many roque players will be interest- ed to learn that all the roque courts at Washington ~have been given up because of extensive building. Inter- est seems to be lagging there some- what, but is booming in Philadelphia, where last weck was neld the con- test for the southern championship. S. McC. Crosby of New York'is also inn the Oak Bluff courts playing a strong game. CONNECTICUT DELEGATION AT G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT Itinerary for. Special Train Received by Sedgwick Post Officers.

Emerson of the department of Con- necticut the information regarding the special train_which will convey the Connecticut delegation to the annual national encampment, which is to be held at Rochester, August 21-26. Con- necticut will send a good sized delega- tion, but whether any Sedgwick post men will be included in it is not cer- tain yet. There are to be two regi- mental reunions here in the preceding week, which may detract from their enthusiasm to attend the national en- campment.

Those who live in the eastern part of the state—Norwich, Plainfield and Putnam—ta train })15' way of Willi- mantic, arriving m artford at 10.15 a. m., or from New London by way of Saybrook, arriving at Hartford at 10 a. m. Tickets wiil be good returning by the same route, to reach original starting point not later than August 30, 1911, but, by depositing ticket with special agent at Rochester, on or be- fore August 30. and payment of $1, an_extension of return limit to Sep- tember 30 may be cbtained. Stop- overs, within final return limit of the ticket. not to exceed ten days, will be allowed at Syracuse, Utica, Schenec- tady and Albany. The train service will be first class - respect and no change of cars from New Haven to Rocmesver, an itin- erary from different points in Con- necticut can be arranged.

Miss Cross, State Superintendent of This Department, Urges Societies to Activity. Particular attention to werk at the stata and county fair is urged .upon all the local W. C. T. U. societies in a circular letter sent to the county pres- idents by Miss Harriet G. Cross, sta superintendent of fair work. The de- partment of fairs and open-air meot- ings is ona that was adopted last Oc- tober at the annual state convention. The following suggestions are made: Secure if possible a small space and distribute our state and national papers and literature. In Norwich we have made up rolls, a paper and one or two leaflets heid by a rubber band, which the peobie will keep and carry home. Sometimes a person will select from our stock and all are glad to get it. If a space large enough for a small rest room can be had it is much bettar, In some places the children furnish an afternoon programme with songs and recitations—sometimes a speaker is on the grounds or in the building if there is one. It is urged that each society appoiat someone to carry out the work. LOVING CUP FOR MAHAN. New London Mayor's Work for His ! City Recognized.

BURIED IN GRAVE NEXT TO ITS MOTHER Baby of the Murdered Lillian Weis- graber in Hartford Cemetery. Jeremiah J. Casey, the 1 year and nine days old son of Lillian Weisgrab- er, otherwise known as Lillian Burns, who was shot to death by James K.

The boy was taken with cholera infan- tam, which caused his death on Fri day. His mother at one time lived in this city, in Thamesville.
