 Long Island Sound.
 Promptly at o'clock last evening the Elm City left RaiIe Dock with the members of Harmony division No. 5, Sons of Temper eight hundred bound for a four hours sail. The sky was as clear as one could desire, not 8 cloud being visible. the moon shining with . brightness that made the scene on the Sound extremely pleasant. The boat steamed directly out on the Sound, running in sight of Long Island and Bridgeport lights. Thomas orchestra of ten pieces furnished music for dancing, Virgil M. Beecher prompting. The musical programme was under the direction of the Messrs. Bush and those not wishing to dance were highly entertained by the programme that was render ed by those taking part. The boat returned at 12 o'clock with it's load, landing them all safely at the dock, where were in waiting horse cars to take the excursi0nists home. The commit tee, consisting of Frank A. .Hermance, Charles B. Hart, James B.. Rowe, George L.. Sanford anG A. H. Morse, had arranged every particular in such manner that there was no confusion and to them is due the success of the affair whereby the divisions treasury will be largely increased. There was consid. ereble disappointment to a large number of persons who had not purchased their tickets before going to the boat, and as none were sold there they were left behind, it being es- timated that fully two hundred were thus disappointed. It is now decided fact that moonlight excursions can be given from New Haven, and that they are of 8 tirst-class order, and not as have been given in former years by other societies, it being conceded that Harmony division can manage them to the credit of it's reputation and the public at larOa

A Bold Burglary.

The Thieves Enter the House of a Fair
 field Man-But Little Booty Secured.
 The wife of William B. Hill, of Fairfield, was awakened shortly after 12 o'clock Thurs day night by the groans of man and asked proceeded to the next room where he was met by masked man who was followed by four more. Mir. Hill as we'll as his wife, daughter and hired man were all bound and gagged. The burglars attempted to make MT. Hill disclose where his money was kept but all efforts were fruitless, but seeing 8 safe standing in the room. they naturally conclud- ed it contained the coveted treasure. Then began an attack on the door of the safe with cold chisels, and after nearly an hours hard work it was opened and disclosed to them the sum of one dollar. Mrs. Hill had in the meantime loosened her fastenings and made her escape from the house unknown to the burglars, but was soon missed and overtaken by one of the men. The burglars were in and about the house about three hours Leaving MT. Hill and his hired man fettered with the handcufs the thieves went to the barn adjoining aid hitched horse to car riage and drove away.
 The horse and carriage were found in Bridgeport yesterday morning where it had been abandoned. It was found necessary to file the handcufs of the two men before they could be removed. MT. Hills residence has been robbed several times before and at one time the perpetrators were arrested and brought to justice. He is supposed to keep considerable money about him, but it is a mistake as five men are aware, they not hay ing secured sufficient to repay them for their risk and trouble, the only article missed be- ing lady's gold watch. None of the family were harmed, but all badly frightened, of course. Mir. Hill had $40 or $50 in the pocket of his trousers, but the thieves made no effort to obtain it.

The Long Career of MT. John E. Lowell
 His Many School BOOks-A New Series
 Nearly Ready.
 Our esteemed citizen MT. John E. Lowell, of LovelI's school fame, is preparing new series of five readers for use in public schools. The work is in an advanced state, MT. Lowell having been engaged upon it for several years past. His LovelPs readers were long in use in our schools and are well remembered by thousands here and else where. The last set of readers of his pubi- cation were issued in 1854 and were in use in our public schools for quarter of century. He published series of readers as far back as 1s84-about half century ago. The publisher was MT. Sidney Babeock. MT. LoYell's United States Speaker was issuedby him next. It is work which enters into the recollections of school life of 8 large number of our citizens. Previous to these, he published an introductory arithmetic for the Lancasterian school which had consider able popularity. It extended into the mys- teries of arithmetic as far as compound num- bers. It will interest many ciN- zens to know that the veteran ex-schoolmaster is still engaged in the pro- duction of school books. At his age. 89 years, most men give over mental and physi- cal work, but MT. Lowell is an exception to the general rule and but for occasional trou- bIe with dyspepsia says his general health is as good as ever and that he is frequently able to put in five or six hours of close mental ap- plication in day. He is the same cheerful, bright old man of twenty years ago, and the hand of time has told lightly upon him either in his personal appearance or mental activity. Mir. Lowell came hare in 1922 and resigned his position as chief of the Lancasterian school about 1854 to engage in the produc- ton of school books.

friendly reunions along with the regular pleasures of the meeting. The threatening weather in the earlv lay dorbtless dissuaded great many, especially ladies, who would otherwise have attended. But at 2 p. m4 cordon of teams score deep Eformed semi circle at the southern end of the grounds. Each team was wholly or partially anvel- oped in a rain shedding gear and the multi tude in the grove beyond nearly all carried umbrellas or had coats and gossamers alung over their arms. Between two and three thousand people were, it was estimated, on the grounds At thehour in question these were scattered about investigating things in camp with aFhvely curiosity or were occu- pied in religious service in the several soci ety tents. The tent services on Thursday were unusually long, earnest and well attended, aSe the service at the main stand was interrupted by the rain. About the PIainville tent known. as the Plainville tabernacle, there seems to hang peculiar influence, and during the hour of tent meeting all thespace within ear shot of the place is occupied. The tent is the largest on the ground, open on all sides, capable of seating half thousand or more people, and has sort of generally hospit able appearance which draws in people. The regular society tents being only open at the end and much smaller, the stranger is strick- en with feeling of apprehensiveness on ap- preaching as if intruding upon private estate.
 This year an unusual degree of interest has been manifested and great results hoped for, and good signs of their coming are already marked. The Rev. G. P. Mains, of this city, who was to have preached Thurs day morning, and was prevented by the rain, delivered an eloquent and effective sermon in the afternoon, to which an i'm Mense audience listened. Mir. Mains Is 8 good voiced speaker for out of door services. By reason of the unpIeasantness of Thursday. to-day was the best of the week, there being vast attendance and much interest. To nor row the ], 1,500 dodgers will break camp and exchange farewells for year, and iR some cases infinitely longer.

New Bulletins from Wash1n9tOn-Ths
 Method of Transmittfng Them-Ra1n-
 fall During August.
 The chief signal office at Washington, be- ginning with the a1str of August, prepares
 bulletins of the weather colIated from about seventy five points which are selected with reference to their importance from 8 meteor ological point of view. These bulletins are sent to the chief cities of the country Bos ton and New Haven are the only New Eng. land cities which receive them. They are taken here because of the interest taken in them by the Chamber of Commerce and mar itime circles generally. The bulletins are re- ceived at 10 o'clock each morning and are taken from the o'clock observations. Here after the weather bulletins will be posted at the entrance to the Insurance building as well as at the posroffice at an early hour By a careful inspection of the larger bulletin, particularly of the western stations, anyone with even slight knowledge of the subject can predict for himself the state of the weather twenty-four hours in advance. The bulletins are sent to and from Washington in cipher dispatches. The one sent from this city yesterday afternoon read, 'tNew Haven danger, fitness, George. Helen, image, pud- dle." The dispatches are all received at Washington about the same time and the work of receiving and transmitting them is quite arduous and requires many hands. The work at New Haven requires great care and accuracy, and the study of the way ob- servations are taken is very interesting They are taken five times each day, at and II in the morning, 3 in the afternoon and and Il at night.
 The rainfall thus far during August has been half an inch. Last year one eighth of an inch fell during the whole month Usu- ally August sees more rainfall than any other month, the average for several years being inches. The wind yesterday afternoon was blowing at the rate of eight miles an hour. It sometimes attains velocity of fifty miles an hour. During the last severe storm it was 42.

Illness ofJ. G. Farnham.

The chances of the recovery of J. G. Farm ham, the West Haven horse car conductor, are still very doubtful. When first taken ill the rapid fhrobbings of the heart, it was feared, would end his life, as there was no remedy that would check the same. This trouble was finally overcome. The next trouble was violent attack of peritonitis, which was brought on by exposure. His life was despaired of, but at length he improved and became quite well, when again he was stricken and now the sufferer is lingering be- tween life and death with pneumonia. He has the sympathy of a-large circle of friends in, bis aff1ictien.
