Tho Twelfth Ward Park-That Skel-
Polo Season.
If Hudson B. Forbes, ex-selectman, should
consent to the terms proposed by the park
commission for the purchase of q portion of
his land on Townsend avenue, near Morris
Cove, the residents Of that section Of Fair
Haven East will one of these days, have q
park of their own and can stand on their
feet with the proud satisfaction of being just
as highly embellished In the way of attract
i've resorts as any other community. Fair
Haven, or to be more explicit, the Twelfth
ward, has series of parks, but it will be a
sort of pigmy rival, to her energetic sister
the Annex, when the latter has its park
down near the Cove. The Twelfth ward
park runs from Ferry street to Clinton ave.
block wide and although there will be room
enough to turn a baby carriage around in it,
andS will make q nice breathing spot when
that part of the town grows up, yet for q
grand, glorious expanse of park, with the
waters of the Sound tumbling6n toward 1t,
the one proposed in the neighborhood of the
old fort carries off,the prize. Mr.. Forbes,
it is said, wants 1000 for a strip of land
necessary to make boulevard drive. to and
from the park. The commission might be
willing to pay hiM ST, 900 or So. 900 for what
they need.
Rev. P. Mulholland, the pastor of St.Fran-
els church, announced to his congregation

bequeathed 500, 900 to the st. Francis or
phan asylum. He also published the bonds
of marriage for Miss Maggie Maher and

The oyster trade the past week has been
overwhelmingly brisk. But this passive con-
dition of trade may be properly likened to
the calm before the storm. Pretty soon the
orders for the holiday trade will swoop down
with welcome whack on the ear Of the oys-
ter merchant, and the oyster openers will
have to manipulate the hammer and the
knife with more alaority to keep up with the
demand.
1t doesn't hardly seem ereditable, but it is
true, nevertheless, that there is just as much
novelty now for many Fair Havener in the
scene at No. 5's engine house In East Pearl
street at O'Clock every night az there was
in the FIRST weeks after the fire machine was
established in Fair Haven.
1t is a caution to hear the romaneers at
their trade since the skeleton was found In
the cellsr-digRing at the Quinnipiao brewery
last Saturday. The great murder theory
constructionist is getting in his work, and
from his imagination comes plot that
would make his fame in the story papers
that tell al. about the marvellous detective
work in the big cities of the world. His
mental production Ia so realistic that you
can almost see the horrible, CHASTITY glitter
of the eye of the fend who murdered the in
dividual whose feshless bones were found a
few feet below the surface Of the ground
That it was murder is believed by Medical
Examiner White. But the local authorities
will not be able to goa peg farther in the
direction of solving the mystery of this crime
than they've gone already.
Cards have been sent ont announcing that
Mr.. and Mrs. William Sheffield will be at
home after November 12th at 81 Woolssy
street.
The revival services which began in the
East Pearl street Methodist church on Nom
day evening have been we'll attended. They
will continue the remainder Of the, week. They
are very interesting.
1t 10 announced that the electric lights In
Fair Haven will be taken care Of by William
Messiah hereafter.
There are few cases of diphthsria in this
part OF the city, bat not enoush.to cause
any apprehension whatever. They have
been scattered, that is occurring in neigh
borhoods far apart. Half the fright caused
in consequence of q death now and then
from this disease comes from the gossipy
tongue Of those persons whose only aim In
this world seems to be to exaggerate and
make mountains out of mole hills.
Henry Smith and Earnest G. Rowe will
manage the business Of Lueius Rowe while
the latter and his wife are enjoying another
tour in California. They will start she latter
part of this month.
"Will the Quinnipiac rink be opened for
polo this winter, or can Fair Haven get up
team to give the New Haven team an oeca.
sional whirlp are two inquiries heard since
the opening of the season Monday night.
Probably the two questions can DO answered
in the negative, for the hockey seems to be
dead in this part of the land. But when You
come to reckon that many q dime from Fair
Haven helps to swell the purse of the man
ayers of tho New Ravens, you would wonder
why portion of that much coveted metallic
stream can't nestle in Fair Haven pocket
just as we'll
