People stopped to gaze yesterday after
noon at the demolition of the old Bennett
building on Chapel street, occupied for over
twenty years past by Paul Roessler The
thick walls looked as if they built buildings
in eye olden times" to stay. A huge re-
manning fragment of side wall near the
sidewalk was pushed down under direction
of Fire Marshal Kennedy. It toppled and
fell at last with heavy thud The demoli-
ton of the building leaves a view clear
through the block and gives view of the
front of the Court street synagogue, which
looks from Chapel street as If empowered
among chm trees.
The purchase by Ex-Governor English of
the building and lot on Chapel street where
Peck's bookstore and binderY is gave rise to
many speculations yesterday as to the inten-

in the premises at present
One of the most notable improve
ments on Chapel street is that of the new and
spacious rooms of the Mercantile club in the
Insurance building. The very commodious
rooms are newly decorated in a very artistic
style. The walls, ceiling, doors, archway, etc,
present an elegant appearance and the 1oors
are newly carpeted to match. Visitors to the
city speak in high terms of the clubs head
quarters. Mr. F. A. Gilbert executed the
work and the carpets came from Foster &

Serious Accident,
A Hamden Lady, Aged 81, Fatally In
fWred.


Hamden Lady, Aged 81, Fatally I'm
jured.
A sad accident happened on Orange street,
at the corner of Grove, shortly after half.
past six last evening. Mrs. Lydia o. Pickett,
aged 81, living with her son in Hamden, was
riding up Orange street with her daughter
in-law and when near the bridge of the
Northampton railroad train passed by. The
horse became somewhat frightened and the
old lady seized one of the reins, and in cross
ing Grove street the horse sprang and strik
ing the crosswalk at the same time, the
lady was thrown out on to her head.
She was picked up insensible and taken into
Kelsey's drug store. DR.. Alling was called
and made her as comfortable as possible.
The scalp on the left side of the head was
badly torn and there was a decided depres-
sion of the skull Word was telephoned to
the almshouse for the ambulance, and in
fourteen minutes after the call was sent Su-
periutendent Coogan was at the door ready
to convey the old lady to the hospital. At
eleven o'clock she was just alive and still un-
conscious. Superintendent Coogan deserves
great praise for the promptness with which
he responded to the call, and the value of
having town ambulance and officials who
are watchful and quick to respond to the
call was well illustrated by the expeditions

rendered valuable assistance in caring for the

The Prize Fighters.

The Exhibition i'm This City Last Night
SparriDg and Wrestling Bouts ON the
stage ut Peck's Grand Opera House
Deafening Applause.
About !, ZOO people we're at Peck's Grand
Opera House last evening to witness an athle-
tic entertainment, given for the benefit of
Thomas Donahue, the prize fighter. This
was the first exhibition of the kind that has
been open to the public in a dozen years
without the danger of police interference, an
ordinance having recently been passed al
lowing them. Robert Farrell, of New York,
was the referee for the evening and per-
formed his duties to the satisfaction of the
audience. Chris Geffuey favored the
assembled multitude with song
and jig and finished with
very good feat of Indian club swing
ing. James Kelley and Gus Zills, of this
city led off with sparring match. They
were evenly matched and did not awaken
much interest. The McShane brothers,
Willie. aged IL, and Tommy, aged Q, next
tried the gloves and stood up like old veter
about lively to get the pieces of money
thrown on to the stage from the audience.
Dan Costigan of New York, and Hayes of
Providence, had bout and we're followed
by a collar and elbow wrestling match
between Bowman and Quinn, both of this
city. Each got one fall and refused to finish
as they have a match arranged between
themselves and did not care to try it there.
James Murray, who is to match Robert
TurHbun for the 1913 pound championship in
three weeks, felt of Fiddler Neary of New
York. Murray had a way of making dive
and coming up with his nose right in his OPP
ponent's face. The men would clineh and
did not respond promptly to the calls of the
referee. They stirred the audience up and
the hall rang with deafening
applause. William Howe and Charles Bart
lett both of New York, appeared next. Howe's
kick when he made a good strike and the
sweep of his long arm called forth many
shouts. Next came James O'Donnell, of
Bridgeport, and Bowman. of this city, then
Connors, of Bridgeport, and Hollihan, of
and Chris Gaffney, of this city, did some
good work. Gaffney was considerably
lighter than his opponent, but made it ex-
ceeding warm for him. John
Rickert, of Bridgeport, the cham
pion collar and elbow wrestler of Con-
necticut tried his luck with Jack Donovan of
the same place. Each man won one fall and
retired. A telegram was received from Steve
Taylor stating that he had broken a finger
Saturday while pitted against Sullivan and
was sorry he could not appear. William
Hines, of Bridgeport, filled his place and
closed-up the entertainment with Thomas
Donahue. The men gave each other very
hard body blows and wound up in good
style.
