The weather did its part for the gala occasion and all things worked for a fine exposition of what Miss Mary B. McKay and her assistants have been doing with the little folks on the six Norwich playgrounds during the summer. Ended With Pretty Maypole Dance It was the dancing on the parade that gave a distinctive touch to the day. The boys were over on the Academy campus holding their track meet and having a baseball game, and both these events were highly inter- ting. But their sisters were the ones who got the attention from a. sathering of close to a thotisand peo- ple_who formed a ring near the flag staft with its fluttering colors in_the middle of the green to watch the girs carry out their Playground march, the rustic dance and the other numbers on an exceedingly pretty programme that ended with the charming May- pale dance. Each little white-frocked girl, with alternate sashes of laven- er' and white over their shoulders, picked out their respective streumers and gayly danced around the pole, weaving them in and out with a smoothness that reflected _careful training by Miss O'Connell, who_de- signed the pole and assisted by Miss McKay, had the girls in charge. The floral decorations for this interesting feature of the exercises were co buted by John Moore and Mrs. Eliza- beth Geary Danihy was at the plano.

Attorney teresting Fact in Motorbuses Carried Troops in Brus- sels, glans, who knew before they a shot that they had the unqualified support of England. Mr. Shields explained that he ob- tained this hitherto unknown fact of the presence of English troops in Bel- gilum so leag before the battle through acquaintance with an English woman who told of a relative of her that had lost his employment as a driver of a London motorbus, and Who gave { information that the government had taken them over and was removing all the seats from them. The next chain. in the evidence came through a young man, an English officer. who happened to be in Brussels on the night before the beginning of the battle of Liege and was awakened by an extraordinary rumbling ‘in_the etreets. What was his surprise when he looked out of the window of the hotel to see London mo- torbuses filled with English soldiers rumbling through the streets of Brus- sels towards Liege. When Mr. and Mrs. Shields were coming out’ through the Straitsempf Dover, a week ago Sunday, they saw the London motorbuses aboard boats filled with wounded English soldiers on the way back to England. London newspapers said not a word about the movement of English troops at home or abroad. The streets are full of marching troops, but not a word in bress indicates whers they are go- ng. Mr. Shields was enthuslastic in his admiration of the English troops that he saw, which, he said, he did not be- lieve could be matched in the world. They were a body of earnest, stalwart, sober and serious and educated men, without a trace of rowdylsm. Everywhere on the island the troop trains are moving towards the south, the government having taken over all the railways, and all passenger traffic has to stand aside. ngland is an earnest, united people on the subject of the war, he says, and all minor issues have been dropped. Every suffragist in prison has been lib- erated. They couldn't get a hearing now, for the people are too busy talk- ing.’ The Irish question has been dropped and the Britons are openly expressing their admiration of this stand on the part of the home rule ad- vocates. The Boy Scouts are coming into ube as guardians of bridges, culverts, tel- egraph lines and other things that might be damaged by Germans or Aus- trians in England. geie of the remarkable clrcam- lances in he experience of Mr. Shields in London was that while he was trying to arrange with a man who had two tickets for a passage across to sell, a man stepped up_to him and asked: “Arem't vou Mr. Shields of Norwich. Conn.? T've seen You trying cases there? Further questioning brought out the fact that the man was a stepson of the late George Osborn, who died many s ago. Buying the tickets brought out an- othes interesting circumstance. Mr. Shields bought them from a man and a woman and noticed that the woman signed the name of Violet Kembell Cooper. The middle name led Mr. Shields to ask the lady if she had any relationship to Fannie Kembell. tho sreat actress, for whose art he has a profnud admiration. “Yes,” answered the lad: “I am related to her and the Siddons.” Then she asked Mr. Shields it he had ever seen the play Peg O'My Heart and when the Norwich attorney STANLEY CYRUL DIED FROM AUTOMOBILE INJURFES. by Mudguard of Machine lle Sunday Night. The funeral of Stanley Cyrul, who died at the Backus hospital Tuesday morning from injuries received by be- ing struck by H. W. Cardwell's mobile near the tuberculosis s rium Sunday evening, was held Wed- nesday afternoon at 4 o'clock from the chapel of Shea & Burke, and bur‘al was In St. Mary's cemetery. Friends acted as bearers. This morning in St. Jahn's church, Montville, where Cyrul lived, a mass of requiem will be cele- brated by Rev. P. J. O'Reilly. The young man was hit by the mud- guard of the machine, and after treat- ment at the time by & sanatorium phy- sician was taken to police headquarters by Mr. Cardwell and thence to the hos- pital after Dr. Louis T. Cassidy had seen him. There it developed that he had received a rupture of the intestines and from this resulted the inflamma- tion which caused his death. He wgas conscious to the end. Medical Examiner Kimball and Cor- oner Brown conducted an autopsy at the morgue of Cummings & Ring,where the body was first taken. An inguest showed that Cyrul was 21, lived at Uncasville, worked at the plant of the Thames River Specialtles company, where his number was 50, and.had re- ceipts_showing that last May he had sent $700 to o man in Poland. The coroner is looking into belief that Cyrul got off a trolley car just before the accident, and he is also trying to lo- cate his relatives. There seems to be no doubt that the man was intoxicated and that no blame attached {o Mr. Cardwell, who was exercising all due care. C. F.
