The FREE TRADER last week copied from q
dispatch to the Chicago Tribune a criticism on
the conduct of the Fourth Regiment (Strea.
tori Band. 1t has since been learned, by in.
quiry among the boys of Co. d and others
that the criticism was wholly unjust and
without foundation. The band, as well as
the Streator company of militia, behaved dur.
ing the entire cncampment at Rockford like
soldiers and gentlemen;-a statement which
is not as freely made concerning some of the
Chicago companies.
In the matter Of the competitive drill the
Ottawa company had most certain injustice
done them. Two Chicago companies had
been entered for the prizes. After much per-
suasion and an assurance, as it was under
stood by Captain Blanchard, that the "load
and fire" drill should be with blank cartridges,
Che same drill as provided for in the tactics
Co. D consented to enter the lists, not with
any hopes of winning either prize, but merely
from desire to be obliging and courteous.
What then was their surprise upon reaching
that part of the drill to be informed that Ger.
tain fancy movements must be executed and
that the cartridges could not be used. OF
course the company realized their predica-
ment, losing all heart or interest, but did the
best they could. The two Chicago companies
were awarded the prizes, and there is sus-
pieion in the minds Of some civilians that TO
obtain the Governors cup" the prize drill
was not needed at all. Ottawa is proud Of
her company, and in the fact that their move
ments are in strict accordance with army

Superior Court Decisions.


 decision handed down by the Supreme court yesterday orders re-argument in the famous trademark case of Rogers & Brother. The former firm is controlled by the Meriden Britannia company, but manufactures in Waterbury, while the defendants carry on business in Meriden. The plaintiffs obtained a temporary injunction restraining the de- fendants from using certain trademark on their goods, claiming that it so closely re- sembled device of theirs as to constitute an infringement. Judge Beardsley of the Su- perior court dissolved one injunction and the Waterbury firm appealed. Now the Supreme court practically reverses the decision.
 In the case of the Foster Hardware com pany against Samuel H. Foster, of Meriden, the decision of the Superior court is in favor of the defendant, Judge Granger giving the opinion. The plaintiffs purchased piece of land from the defendant and claimed that it's value was seriously impaired by the fact that the boundary line on one side did not extend far as the defendant had represented. 9 The decision of the court in the case of E. B. Fowler and others against William M. Fowler and others is as follows: "Error; misjudgment rendered so far as it allows more costs than damage" The reasons are by Judge Loomis. The case was an action of Pleas by Milford parties. Judgment was rendered for the plaintiff to recover S1O damages and $5S 31 costs.

Post, the restaurant keeper near the Austin House, Monday Thomas McHugh said that Hall picked up q cracked spoon and tossed it away from the table where he was about to eat The witness said that Hall simply tossed knife to him, as he had asked for one.

The officer had been called last evening to Bucholz's saloon on State street to make the arrest Judge Studley decided to make penalty of so for drunkenness and suspended judgment in the breach of the peace and resistance cases, but allowed $5 to be taxed on the costs to pay for mendine Officer Bradley's blouse.
