The rain of Tuesday night was probably the
heaviest known for years. While the contin.
uous flashing of lightning and roll of thun-
der was grand beyond description to those
whose nerves were strong enough to permit
them to witness the display, the benefits de
rived from the rain much more than compsn-
safe for the small loss sustained by the lodg.
ing Of some small grain in various parts Of
the county.

Preparations for the Third Annual Cruise of the New Haven Yacht Club.
 At, their meeting Wednesday night the New Haven Yacht club discussed the subject of their annual cruise. They decided to sail
 from here on the afternoon of Saturday, Ju- ly 19. The fleet will sail first to Thimble Isl- ands and remain there over Sunday. They will stop for day at New Bedford on the 18th, to compete for Commodore Scranton's new prize cup. At least 15 yachts will sail I in the fleet, and all are expected to compete for the coveted prize. It is expected that the New Bedford Yacht club will so arrange their annual cruise as to meet the New Haven club at Newport and accompany them to New Bedford. Probably many members of the club who will be unable to go on the cruise will go down by rail to New Bedford on the day of the race. The fleet will be gone about 10 days, visiting all the points of interest to the eastward. Great enthusiasm over this important aquatic event is mani
 fested by the members of the yacht club and undoubtedly this, the third annual cruise of the club, will be made successful.
 At meeting of the Yacht club last even- ing another new member was added. An invitation from the New Bedford Yacht club to visit their club house was accepted. It
 was voted to give 8 concert at the New Ha- ven Yacht club house an evening or two be- l fore the clubs departure on it's annuaEcruise.

OrehAuO AEO 6AtAHS
 Yesterday afternoon quite @ umber of people gathered at the vacant lot corner of Wooster and Wallace streets to witness the test of the Hayward hand grenade fire extin- guisher. Mayor Lewis, Chief Hendrick, As- sistant Chief Kennedy. Health Officer Linds- ley and many prominent manufacturers were present. The grenade consists simply of @ pint bottle filled with some chemical fluid The bottle is so made as to break easily when thrown against the burning surface. The fluid on being liberated generates gas which immediately extinguishes fire. A framework of good about ten feet high and five wide was erected for the test. This was thiekly coated with coal tar and kerosene oil and then iR- nitsd Chief Hendrick waited until the fire was at it's height and then gave the signal for throwing the first bottle. Three bottles re- duced the fire in few seconds, so that basia of water would have completed the work, and after another bottle was thrown upon it the fire was thoroughly extinguisbed. A piece of cloth had been saturated with the fluid and then dried. When lighted match was applied to the cloth the part which remained unsaturated readily took fire and burned, but I when the dried saturated portion was reached the fire was exdnguished Mr. John G. Chapman is the agent for this city and con ducted the test. In speaking of the grenade Chief Hendrick said: ''It has done ali that ia claimed for it and is good extinguisher of fire in incipient stages A bucket of water ap- piled at the right time will frequently check what might otherwise become 8 large fire But how much more handy are these bottles of fluid distributed throughout a shop or fs Otory than water tanks, or buckets of water, or imperfect hose" MT. Chapman expects 10 conduct other tests throughout the city in 8 short time.
