GREENEVILLE Piotnoski-Duezawska Marriage — Re- pairing Preston Bridge — Other Notes. Monday, Ladislaus Piotnoski of Fourth street and Sophy Deuzawska of 568 Eleventh street were married by Rev. I. V.

Bridge Being Repaired. ‘The Upper Preston bridge at Eighth street is undergoing repairs. It is re- ported that the bridge was in poor condition, Fisherman’s Luck. Members of the Greeneville Fish and Game association recently went on a fishing trop but met with poor suc- cess, coming home with empty baskets. Owing to other engagements, Thomas Geagan. leadéer was unable to go and his position was filled by J. Mul- lin. Machine Skidded. A Ford automobile came up Cen- tral avenue Monday afternoon and near- 12th street attempted to cross the trolley tracks. Between the tracks small trap rock has been laid and when the machine struck the rock it skidded and nearly ran into a tele- prone pole on the opposite side of the Street. COUNTY FAIR OFFICIALS DECIDE - RACE PROGRAMME. Put Up $500 Purses for Three Fast Classes of Trotters and Pacers. It would look as though the lovers of the light harness racing game will have a surfeit of enjoyment if the elab- orate plans of the officials of the New London County Agricultural society go through to a successful culmination. The racing at the county fair of the soclety always is an attractive pro- gramme, but this vear they expect to outdo all previous efforts in that di- rection. They are out with the announce- ment of the opening of three stake races for the fair this fall, a 2.17 pace, a 2.24 trot and a 2.15 pace, each carry- ing a purse of $500. The entries are coming in now and at this early stage it certainly looks as if the stabling accommodations at the track at East Great Plain would be inadequate to take care of all the equine speed mar- vels that are being booked for these races. Nominations of horses will close on June 15th and the entry fee is only 5 per cent. of the stake, which is very reasonable. Horses entered are eligi- ble under their marks of May 29th. These stakes are as big as are hung up at the state fair at Worcester, Mass., and are considered to be pretty big s(iles in this sectipn. A Lathrop, presifient of the so- ciety speaking of the races, said: “Some of the fairs in New England have degenerated into a sort of three- ring circus, the races and other en- Jjoyments of the agricultural portion of the sightseers being relegated to the background and vaudeville and circus acts being pushed to the front. We don’t believe in that method of run- ning a_fair; we hoast that our fair is the old simon-pure, five-syllabled ag- ricultural fair, and we don’t have to prove it—we confess it. We cater to all classes and we aim to have attrac- tions to suit the enjoyments of all the folks that attend, but we glor ?tgtemem that we run an old fashioned air, “We have started thus early closing races with $500 purs and if this year’s fair shows the increase in at- tendance that our last one did over its predecessor we will hang up thousand dollar purses for the same races next year. The people who attend our fairs like the see the horses in action and we are doing our utmost to give them the best that can be gotten. Every- thing points to the most successful trotting and pacing meeting ever held at the county fair at the Norwich track during the week of Sept. 6th.” Shriners Going to Hartford. The meeting of the Mystic Shrine, to be held in_Hartford on Wednesday evening will be attended by the fol- lowing Norwich people: James C. Fitzpatrick, Alfred G. Eliven, Willlam A. Pitcher, Harry B.

STARTS FUND FOR NEW PIANO AT NURSES’ HOME At Backus Hospital—$25 Gift from Prominent Norwich Business Men. _Touched by the real need of a new piano at the nurses’ home at the Back- us hospital, one of the prominent downtown business men has just con- tributed his check for $25 towards a fund to secure a new piano to re- place the old one which has been at the institution ever since the hos- pital was started. The donation is an expression of his appreciation of the splendid service given at the hospital for a servant of his household who was ill. When he found that many of the nurses were fine musicians, but they had nothing but a piano of the tin-panny order to piay on, he decided this would be a very suitable object towards which to make the donation Wwhich he had in mind to give, EIGHTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY. Surprise Given Mrs. Hannah Kingsley by 150 of Her Friends. One hundred and fifty friends gave a birthday surprise party to Mrs. Hannah Kingsley, widow of Colonel Kingsley, on her 89th birthday anni- versary at her home in Franklin Sat- | urday, May 15, coming from Lebanon, Franklin, Fitchville, Lefingwell, Yan- tic. Bozrah, Norwich, Preston and New London. Mrs. King is a woman of rare charm and ability, as sprightly as a woman of 60. Mrs. Kingsley was well remerabered by her host of friends, receiving two May baskets overflowing with flowers from the children of the Sodom school, several bouquets of cut flowers, innu- merable gifts of various kinds and a purse well filled with monéy presented by Mrs. George Brush on behalf of the assembled guests. Refreshments were served during the afternoon by Mrs. Grace Peckham, assisted by several ladies, consisting of salads, sand- wiches, cake, coffee and fruit. After spending a very delightful af- ternoon with Mrs. Kingsley and her daughter, Mrs. Grace Peckham, the Zuests departed, wishing Mrs. Kingsley many happy returns of the day. Declined to Rent Fairgrounds. Two gentlemen of foreign birth have been trying to rent the fairgrounds at East Great Plain from the New Lon- don Agricultural society for a period of several months. .As it was learned that the men were agents for a for- eign nation now at war and that they wished to use the grounds as a receiv- ing camp for horses it was decided not to rent, as it was belleved that con- tagious disease might be spread among the horses which are to race at the track this coming fall. Horses were to be purchased in this vicinity and shipped to the battlefields either by boat from this city or from New Lon- don. Deserter from Army. George D. Davis, whose home is at 11 Church street, New London, is re- rted by the adjutant general of the nited States army to have deserted. He was connected with the 82d com- pany of Coast Artillery corps at Fort Totten, N. Y. He enlisted on Dec. 29, 1914, and is reported to have deserted on April 25, 1915, ENGLISH STARLINGS BECOMING A NUISANCE. Consort With the Sparrows—Does Some Good, But Also Harms F.uit. Of late, observing persons have no- iced in many flocks of sparrows, as they flew about birds somewhat iarger than their companions and of a darker color. These wcre by many mistaken for blackbirds, but they are English starlings, and they are rapidly becom- ing the nuisan.e that their companions are. They are brownish-black as a robin, with under his chin little, short-‘ailed. , not quite as big an irridescent bib a bright yellow bill. In the early nineties somebody un- fortunately imported a few hundred of these starlings and put them in Cen- tral Park, New York city. The birds multiplied rapidly and spread through the Connecticut valley. The ornitholo- gists of Massachusetts claim the birG is an undesirable alien, that alt..ougn he cats grub worms, cut worms. wire worms and smooth caterpillars, on the other hand, he does harm by boring holes in partially ripened fruit, caus- ing it to rot, and also by driving other >irds from' their homes, especially those that make their nests in trees, like the woodpeckers and flickers. He is a noisy, conversational, versa- tile feilow and a great mimic. Ho i tates the cal' ~f the quail, the catbird and the jay t. perfection. He has a whining call of his own and a flock of starlings engazed in conversation are highly interesting. In fact, the starling as we see him is a good bit of a rogue and the state ornithologist of Massachusetts has branded him as a suspicious and both- ersome individ:al and has set & waten upon his actior s. REILLY CAPM"OT ACCEPT P. 0. EMPLOYES’ GIFT. Conscientious ~ Scruples About Taking $35,000 They Raised. Has The National Association of Post- office. Employes is said to be in a quandery as to what to do with that $35,000, gathered through the sale of tickets to a testimonial dinner to the Hon. Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden, for- mer member of congress, with the in- tention of presenting it to him. Mr. Rellly was offered the money. as a testimonial of the affection and es- teem that the postal employes of the nation felt toward him, but could not accept it on account of conscientious scruples, sa$ing he had only done his duty at Washington and the govern- ment had paid his salary. The execu- tive board of the national association is therefore said to be wondering how to_dispose of the money. Francis P. Horan of the Hartford postoffice, president of the Connecticut branch of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks, said Monday that he had not heard of any inquiry sent to Connecticut clerks or other branches of postal employes. He supposed the incident closed when the congressman refused the gift. He had no idea of how the money might be disposed of. There might be some communication on the matter from the natlonal or- ganization in the near future, but up to the present there had been no such word and no inquiries had been made, he said.- It is said to be a practical im- possibility to retura the money to the subscribers, as there are no records available with addresses of donors.
