 Within a fortnight, half dozen cars building for the Fair Haven road will be delivered. They are to be fine cars, much the same as those delivered last season and will be equipped with heaters.
 Interest is reviving in the plan to ex- tend Lombard street to connect with Lau- rel street, thus affording a direct route from the Quinnipiac river to Winchester's armory and the Newhalville district and saving the longer detour via Grand ave- nue. If the street is extended it will have to be depressed and go under the Cedar Hill station in short tunnel. To do this the consent of the Consolidated road must first be obtained Another petition pend ing before the street committee is for ex- tending Laurel to Alton street, but Alton is only short street and this plan would be far inferior to the Lombard street scheme.
 Rev. Father Mulholland assisted at the dedication of new Catholic church at Glasgow, near Norwich, on Sunday. He was the first assistant to Administrator Hughes during the services.
 The fair of St. Francis church will open at the Quinnipiac rink on the evening of | Saturday, November ?, and will continue for eight or nine evenings. Among the | interesting features will be @ broad sword | contest between Bryan Lynn and Walter Connors. This event will be looked for | ward to with great interest. There will be program of exercises by the children of | the parish school The St. Francis T. A. B. society has donated $25 toward the fair. Rabbits promise to be quite plentiful | this season. One hunter secured ten two or three days ago.
 Herbert Potter has just finished picking a field of several acres of sweet corn. His | venture proved success, but had an early frost nipped the corn the venture would have not been quite as successful.
 The northerly and easterly winds | give promise of "canting to the westward this week, which will tend to drive the Fair Haven fleet of colliers toward their destination. This fleet has been delayed by heavy gales, but as far as heard from none of the vessels have been injured. l Edward Griffin of no Townsend avenue fell from ladder yesterday and fractured his right leg
