The rooms are to be open for inspection /this afternoon at 2 o'clock and untll 10 this evening.

The club is to have a bas- ketball team this fall Thursday, Chief John MdFarland ex- pressed his appreciation of the manner in which several hundred persons, many of them children, came out in the rain Wednesday evening to witness the showing of safety first pletures at the Majestic theater. Chief McFarland is now anxious for the co-operation of parents in driving home the lessons taught Dy the pictures and requests that parents make a special effort to impress upon their children the dangers of playing in the streets or of carelessly crossing them. Thursday was “Willlmantle dmy” at the Brooklyn fafr and, through the ef- {forts of the chamber of commerce of tha telty, there wWas a representative gathering of Thread City folks on the grounds. 'Their's' was the first pilgrim- age, it such it may be tenmed, ever to come out of Willimantic and into this part of the county over the new state ighway, now open between JHampton and Brooklyn, and the trip not only served to give the visitors a truly en- joyable day at the fair, but as well to initiate tRem into the pleasure of rid* ing east from Hampton over a lime of highway that has been transformed from a rough and erooked old pike to a splendid modern highway. At the fair the Willimantic folies had a jolly time. They visited the ex- hibits and they tried for dolls and they watched the races and visited with friends and”a little bit of everything offered. For a closing day, the crowd at the fair was unusually large. This, in part, 1s attributed to the fact that rain kept many away on Wednesday who other- wise would have attended on that day. The closing day, however, has bacome increasingly popular of late years and the success on Thursday Wwas very pleasing to the management. Judge L. P.
