Mayor Welcomes Delegate Following the banquet President W. H. Prennan of Meriden, acting _as toastmaster. introduced Mayor Alivn L. Brown. who spoke a few words of welcome and complimented the asso- clation on their good work. He: spoke of the advantage to the city in having so worthy a bodv hold a convention here and expressed the wish that they would Jike tha Rose of New Engiand well enough to chose it as a meetinz place In the near future Complimented by Judge Ayling. Toastmaster Brennan called on Judge Nelson J. Aviing. who has done much to further the interests of the association. Judge Avling spoke briefly expressing his pleasure at be- ing present and complimented the as- sociation on the good showing that they made. Col. Robert O. Eaton of North Ha- ven gave a brief speech, work and abilitv of the association. Senator McKee Heard. Senator Robert R. McKee of Wa- tertown made a few appropriate re- marks. Senator McKee was followed by Judge John H. Barnes, who in his characteristic wax told a few humor- ous stories and praised the local po- lice force, it's chief and captain and also praised the association. The banquet closed with the sinzinz of America. To Richard’s Grove Via Trolley. At 2.45 the delegates in two special cars went to Richard’s Grove where athletic activities were enjoved. The feature of the entertainment was the boxing exhibitions which were certain. Iy of a high quality. The first match was between Bar- ney Keenan. pugllist of the local force, and Policeman Gaffney, pride of the New London bluecoats.” Thev battled for three rounds and were nearly even, having the shade the better on_his opponent. e mext bout between Young Win- ters of Norwich and Young Gaffner of New London, bid fair to be a whirl- wind, each boy being out for blood. Winters was too strong for his man and in about.a minute of hard fight- ing had him groggy up aainst the ropes where with several blows to the jaw sent him to dreamland. The Main Bout. The main match of the afternoon between Danny Doyle and K. O. Palitz was a battle royal from tha first tap of the gong to the end of the six rounds. ~ Doyle althougn outweighed by Palitz put up a strong offensive | zame but fought rather openly. Palitz did not let himself out until the last round when he and Dovle stood in the middle of the ring and exchanzed Dblow for blow with lightninglike rapid ity. Youngz Doyvle showed in his e hibition that he has the makings of an Al fighter and needs only a little more Ting seasoning to put him up among the first raters. The bout betwsen Sullivan and Ladd was a g00d one, each having an aven chance. After the boxing the men wers served refreshments and other forms of entertainment were enjoved. Music on the Tri Tubbs’ Military band furnished mu- sic on the trip to the grove, giving a concert there and played during the return trip. The delegates and friends arrived in Norwich at 7 o'clock after one of tha best and most enjovable conventions and outings.

He is now on his 40th vear as an officer and on September 5, will be 76 vears of age. In point of active service the credit is given to Officer Willlam S. Doty. He was first elected a member of the Nor- wich police forcs in 1870 and in 1586 during the change in administration Wwas removed for two years because of the reduced number of men In actual service. but in 1§88 he was returned and has since been in active service and is still doing dnty on the Broad- way night beat.

Aithough i never heard of Auch a trip, experience proves it to be the best evér, and I had trav- elled Connecticut pretty thoroughly in all sorts of wavs, visiting all but two towns of it in seme way or other.

We didn’t even visit Mohegan Park. so I must sav frank Iy that the “Rose of New England” appeared to me rather similar to oth- er cities. and hillier than the average. Sometime I am going to really visit the eity. Yours ery_truly, ELDON W. SANFORD. DEER IN MONTVILLE LIKE POLE BEANS ed Judge Home's Garden Recent- Iy and Had Feast. Tn the town of Montville the people who are trying to help out on the food supply by gardening not only have to contend with bugs, weeds and the ordinary enemies of agricultur- alists. but of late deer have been showing a fondness for vegetables that is very discouraging. Deer seem to considér beans pretty £ood eating and when they get into a garden they pay particular attention to that part of the crop. One night re- cently Judge Dan D. Home's garden was visited and practically all of the pole beans were eaten. The same night Frederick R. Perkins lost nearly all of his beans from the same cause. The home garden movement has not only stirred the people of the cities to experiment In gardening, but has served as an inspiration to the farmers. An tmmense fleld of wheat can be seen in East Lyme just off the Niantic and Flanders road. Mr. Perkins. who is experimenting with the crop, is trying to see what the farmers in this locality can do with wheat crops. His present crop covers about six acres and the wheat is standing about five feet in height with heavy heads. People who have seen this fleld and are familiar with the western crops confess that it is remarkably fine. Mr. Perkins has shown to the farmers. in ‘a practical way, raising wheat Is possible. Are Indignant. Publication of a sensational story about an alleged assault on a New London girl fn Willams Memorial park in New London recently by soldiers or sailors has aroused deep indignation in both branches of the service. The fact that no complaint of any such assault has been made to the police is pretty £00d evidence that nothing of a very serious character oceurred. Building New Smokestack.

Apply few drops, then lift them off without pain. A noted Cineinnati au. thority discovered a new ether compound and called it freezone and it now can be had in little bottles for a few cents from any drug store. You simply apply a few drops of zZone upon a tender corn or painful cal- lus and instantly the sore- ness disappears, t h e n shortly you will find the corn or callus 8o loose that you can lift it off with finge: No pain, not a bit- of moreness, either when ap- plying freezone or after- wards, and it do irritate the skin. Hard corns, soft corn: or corns between the to also toughened calluses, just shrivel up and Hft off 5o easy. It is wonderful! 1t works like a charm. Try. it! ‘Women should ke ep freezone on their dressers and never let a corn ache twice. —_— TAFTVILLE British-American War Relief Fund— Advance Wagons For Circus in Town Personal Treasurer Thomas Addison of the British-American War Relief fund has received a letter from the secre- tary of the fund, Miss Dorothy King. The letter 1s dated at Newport, R .1, July 11th, and says in part: “I have just heard from the office of your latest magnificent contribution from the Taftville branch and I wish to thank vou all most gratefully for your unfailing_generosity. “It s difficult to tell you how much we have come to depend on vour sup- port and we hope you will believe we arc more than appreciative of all that ¥ou do. “If evervone did their ‘bit’ as well as the people of Taftville, the country would have no need to fear for the future.” Treasurer Addison has anriounced the following figures in connection with his weekly report: Previously ac- knowledged $431.85: collections for the week ending July 14, $16.70: total col- lections to date $448.55. The Taftville branch in _common with the other branches of this organization is doing fine work and deserves the hearty sup- port of everyone. Advance Wagons Here. The advance wagons for the R. T.
