About a thousand 3 and track meet at Rec- reation park Friday afternoon, al- though the heat made the park a veri- table Sahara. There was little competition in the | 18: 2. track events, except among the small|1-7, 9-11 boys, as the main part of the crowd did arrive until it was time to start the baseball game. The winners in the track events are given below, each of which received a crisp new dollar bill |or its equivalent value in any local store. The ball game was the big_attrac- | tion, as Willimantic and the Pioneers!town Wedn: of New Britain have always been rivals.

The entire program was under the di- rection of the Willimantic industrial committee, and they deserve much credif The Quidnick - Windham Manufac- turing company has nearly completed the installation of a large turbine in their upper mill on the Willimantie river. The new wheel is larger than the old one and is nearly 300 horse- power, with 54-inch blades. When the present work is finished they will in- stall another turbine in their other fac- tory. The incessant rattle of firecrackers was missing in this city on the Fourth. One reason was that there was not enough of the crackers on sale in the city, one of the leading dealers saying that he was all sold out at 8 o'clock the morning of the 3d. Ex-Mayor Dunn and Charlie Wong, who have usually s0ld the explosives, did not sell any this year. Many people spent ¥riday at shore or at Coventry lake. The Swedish Lutheran church held the CHILDREN'S SUMMER DRESSES The collection of pretty Summer Dresses for Children is one : that will interest mothers, not only in the workmanship, but ‘the sturdy materials from which they are fashioned—fancy :checks and striped ginghams, the kind that will tub and come out perfect. Chambray and Voiles are also included, sizes 2 to 14 years old, at $1.50 and up to $5.95. THESE NEW SUMMER DRESSES HAVE BEEN ACCORDED AN EX- < CEEDINGLY CORDIAL RECEPTION. ‘Although on display but a short time they have received the unqualified praise of women who are best informed regarding the new Summer styles. The principal reason for their popularity is the most ef- the annual picnic in the grove at the head of Carey street Friday with an attendance estimated at 150. There were several booths where lunches, s0da and ice cream were sold and the grove was deeorated with the Ameri- can colors. The lawn party and dance given on the grounds at St. Joseph's rectory on Jackson street Fourth of July for the benefit of the Ladies’ Catholic Benevo- lent association was a success, as there was a large crowd in attendance. Dur- inz the afternoon ice cream, candy and soda were sold, and from 7 to 11 in the evening dancing was an added attrac tion. Music was furnished by the Knights of Columbus orchestra. A Welcome Home demonstration for the Mansfield soldiers and snilors was held in that place Friday. The exer- cises began at 5 o'clock in the after- noon and included addresses by Capt. James B. Fullerton, 102d infantry, of this city, and Rev. Walter Lamphear of Mansfleld. At 6 o'clock there was a cafeteria luncheon and a fine enter- tainment was given at 8 o'clock. The last two events were for the benefit of the library at Mansfield Center. Samuel Lyons, U. S. N. at Newport, R. I, spent a week end furlough in this city ‘with his mother.

One person saw the plane going west at 6 o'clock. The aviator was seen by the crew of the South Coventry trolley line over the lake at 9.45, and it kept over them on the way to this city until the city line was reached. The plane was traveling low, and the lights made it very easily seen. There will be ix cases before the four men charged with assault on Jo- seph Lepage and two young men who ‘were shooting firecrackers off before the Fourth. All these cases were con- tinued from the first of the week. ‘Walter Collins spent the Fourth in Springfield, visiting with his mother, who formerly lived in this city.

Along about 5 o'clock Friday morn- ing some daring spirit, undoubtedly a youth with the courage to be another Alyin York, our one-man army, took a long chance and tolled the bell at the graded school on School street. For this unique contribution to the day's festivities someone has recom- mended an extinguished service med- al. But at that, this celebrator did the only thing that reminded the pec- ple of Danielson that another Inde- pendence day was at hand and ready to be celebrated by all who still are thankful that a certaih group of early Ameéricans had the courage to start something, that resulted eventually in liberty, by tossing some 0dd dozens of chests of tea into Boston harbor. Judging from the amount of patriot- ism that was manifest, in any way, here on the Fourth, this generation would be more conservative in dispos- ing of its tea. At any rate, Danielson’s Fourth was entirely safe and sane—and almost denatured. Some people didn’t even take the trouble to hang out the na- tional colors, though they had flags nicely packed away, a fact that did not escape the attention of returned soldiers who noted where they had seen flags on Welcome Home day, but didn’t see them in the same places on the Fourth. There were no arrests here, nothing more serious taking place than the throwing of peanut shells on the side- walks. Some of those who used to like to make the Fourth a big day did manage to arouse themselves late in the afternoon long enough to ask “Who won the fight?”’—and then dozed off to sieep again—with nothing to do until tomorrow.

The events in- cluded two baseball games and a num- ber of other athletic events and a_big “shore” dinner. arranged by King George Jacques' best style and splen- didly served by efficient waiters and waitresses from the ranks of the com- pany’s workers. 2 This feast touched the spot and, notwithstanding the hot weather many tried to break all of the world’s rec- ords in-eating clams. St. James’ band was on the grounds and played at intervals during the day. Y The one big featuré, and it made a tremendous hit with the bascball fans, was the morning baseball game, a con- test that went 9 innings without either the Connecticut Mills team or the Danielson Cotton company team scor- ing a run. Because a previous agree- ment had been made to permit Nich- ols, who was pitching for Connecticut Miils, to catch the 1.06 train out of Putnam for his home in Woonsocket, the game was called off at the end of the ninth, though the fans were rabid to _see it go to a finish. Bader, pitching for Danielson Cot- ton, turned in a no-hit, no-run game and Nichols was only touched up for one or two hits. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish and such a one as has® seldom been seen around this neck of the. woods. Bader was| pitching in the best form of his career. the kind of pitching he used to sho: with the New York Americans and his wide-side sweeping delivery seemed a puzzle to the Connecticut mills hit- ters, and they are no -slouches with the willow.

The flags were proudly carried in the parade by stalwart men who proud of the honor conferred them. The priests who assisted at the un- veiling and blessing of the flags were Rev. Father Cyran of St. Joseph’s par- ish, Webster, and Father Hannece of Southbridge and Father Routhier of St. Mary’s parish, Putnam, In responding after this part of the ceremonies, William Woznicki of this city, secretary of the benefit society, sail Reverend Fathers, Members of St. Mary's Parish and Friends: _ I feel greatly honored by _being chosen to accept on behalf of my fel- low members the flags which you have blessed for us today. This Fourth of July' is the greatest and happiest Fourth of July for America and for the people of Polizh blood all over the world in the history of these nations. As loyal citizens of America we re- joice today that our flag, the Stars and Stripes, the best flag in world, we and our children enjoy to the ut- most the blessings of liberty and freedom and equal opportunities for all, has once more beaa borne on to a glorious victory at the head of the best army the world has ever'seen. As sons and daughters of Poland, our hearts are overflowing with joy and gratitude to Almighty God that the sun on the morning of this glorious day has risen on the Poland of which we have dreamed and for which we and our fathers and grandfathers have worked and fought and hoped, during the dark and dreary years of the past—a free Poland, a nation once more standing out proudly, with her own president chosen by her own free peaple, in the bright sunlight of lib- erty among the other great nations of the world; and our hearts are filled with satisfaction as we know and re- alize that when that same sun has set at the end of this momentous day its last rays will be cast over our Kkins- men in Peiand those of our own race and blood at last able to sleep in peace and contentment knowing that the dark and dreary davs of oppres- ion and hardship are over, the long night of their subjection to the Ger- man, Russian and Austrian tyrants is at an end, and our beloved Poland whose flag we honor and reverence to- day, the Poland of the old glory and honor when all Europe rang With praise of her bravery and her splendor, is coming into. her own an d is ready now to go on in the splendldj course of her progress and develop- ment which the greed and treachery and criminality of foreign rulers and princes so basely interrupted. The world bas lost much during these years while Poland was in_sub- jection and as this beloved land of our fathers goes on in the future, peaceable, free. and contented, to de- velop itself and its people, not only Europe, but - America and all the world will daily more and more come to appreciate the true worth and strength and power and beauty of the Polish character, and realize how much the selfishness and greed and brutality’ of Germany and Russia and Austria’ have caused them to be de- privea of. We are proud of the part the youns men of our blood have plaved in this great conflict; how proud and grate- ful must our people across the sea have been to see the long list of Pol- ish names in the army of America, to feel and know that their boys, here in America, were true to the fighting Polish blood that is in them and ca- gerly risked and sacrificed all that they had and all that was dear to them, to take a hand in_crushing once and for all the monstrous beast of erman autocracy which had so long ravaged the homes of their fathers and had for so many yvears torn apart the families of Poland and sucked the very life blood of the country! We who have passed most of our lives here in the land of the free can never be able to imagine, even, what our forefathers have suffered at the hands | of the Huns and every blow our Pol- ish boys struck at the Germans in this war was a blow of just revenge and righteous punishment for the brutes, who have done all that the human mind could conceive in the way of cruelty, to hold Poland under their control. On behalf of my fellow members, therefore, I thank you for the gift of these two flags and for vour blessing upon them: they are to us the dearest emblems in the world; the flag of our country America, to be a citizen of which 'is the highest honor the world can give; and the flag of the land from which we sprung—Poland, rich with the glorious traditions of our race, both flags blessed by Almighty God through the priest of our Divine Mother Church, the guardian and protector and benefactor of us all whose wisdom and influence and teachings make us every day more worthy sons of Poland, and more loyal citizens of America: which teaches us to live every day so that we shall be worthy of the blessings of God, and tells us to be ready and prepared. to fight, to bleed.and to die, if neces- sary, for our country, America, for the land’ of our fathers and for the truths and principles of our faith and in the service of Almighty God, who rules all nations and from Whom we have all that we are and hope to be. As T said in the beginning, this Fourth of July is a great event, and in years to come we shall relate to our children the vride we felt in seeing. the Stars and Stripes of our own America enfolded with the flag of Poland on this day of Poland’s free- a when she now at Jast stands with America, a free nation, and hears the words of a priest of our race and our Catholic faith, irvoking the bless- ing of Almighty CGod upon these flags, s0 dear to our hearts and ‘souls! And we assure you that we will always en- deavor so to conduct ourselves as to be called worthy sons of Poland and loval worthy children of America, true and devoted followers of the Starsand Stripes and all_that the flag stands for in citizenship. obedience to law and right moral living.

The Po- lish White Bagle band of Quidnick, R. I, was an attraction in the line were two drum corps. Girls in the Polish national costume made a pretty sight and there was a float with a group representing Columbia, Uncle Sam and Poland Liberated. There was no mistaking the fine keynote of patriotism to America and Jjoyousness of Poland’'s freedom, in all of the events of the day. The Fourth in Putnam this year, so far as the night before was concern- ed, and all of the day itself, so far as old-time observances might be con- sidered, was a thoroughly emascu- lated holiday. As one well known citizen described the situation: “The public doesn’'t seem to have any more “pep” than the near beer that is be. ing sold around the city. The observ- nce here was safe and sane, all right, s0 much so that many wondered whether the Fourth is slipping as an occasion for stirring up popular en- thusiasm.
