NeWtoWn TrOtters.

For more than year it has been known that several horses capable of trotting a mile inside of 2:55 were owned in New town. The knowledge of this fact, to- gether with the ambition of the owners, resulted in the discussion of the track problem and, for some time, it appeared that an association might be organized and track built. The difficulty ,howev- CT, of securing proper site prevented, for the time being at least, the accom- plishment of so enterprising scheme. In the mean time, the straight and level piece of road running from the residence of William l.. Terrill to that of MT Bron- son, just little north of the Newtown station, has been graded, widened and otherwise arranged, so that track of more than quarter of mile in length is now open and free to the use of every owner of an aspiring horse in town. Nearly every afternoon during the Sum- mer, this track has been used for speed ing and exercising the thoroughbreds of the town. On Saturday evenings, a great many races have taken place, which have caused a good deal of friendly rival ry. Last Saturday evening, Mikado Wilkes, owned by Fred l.. Curtis, trotted quarter at 2:4l gait. Brown Dick, owned by I. B. Harris, showed , 40 gait. This is very promising three-year- old and. with a little handling, would probably show better than , 30. MT Peck has a very promising three-year-Old in the bay mare Hazel, now able to trot better than ,: IS with no training to speak of. The Wilkes stallion, Fleet, owned by Robert l.. Tomlinson of Mile hill, surprised everyone by pacing quar- ter in "A 3-4 or 2: l9 gait. This is very remarkable, because this pacer has not been trained and is in no condition to do his best. It is very unusual for so fast a horse to be found in place like New
 town, but it only makes Mir Tomlinson' s word good when he said, last year, that he would own as fast stallion as could be found anywhere. It is reported that the stallion owned by l.. M. Johnson has trotted mile in ?: B and is still im- proving. It is to be hoped that these gentlemen will go right along and organ ize an association, build a half mile track and have some good trotting in town
 Such project would undoubtedly prove to be benefit to the town and no loss tC those carrying out the scheme.

SOUTH BRITAIN.

 Ralph Munson came up from New Ha- ven on his bicycle to spend few weeks with his parents.
 The annual examinations were held at the school house in this district. On ac- count of the rain, only five teachers were present. Miss Flora 'Blackmer is en- gagged for her old district, White Oak, No. l {; Miss Ella Bradley for Bullett Hill, No. }; Miss Susie Chambers for South Britain, No. 5; Miss Shelton for South ford, No. 3; Miss Edith Roswell for Pierce Hollow, No. 6; Miss Hattie Brad ley for Mapping, No. 8 and Mrs Addie Stoddard for Pohtatuck, No. 9. An old member of the board told the teachers that Miss Roswell's papers were the best which have ever been returned at an examination. Her examination was marked perfect in both grammar and arithmetic. The schools will begin Tuesday, 9th.
 By vote of the board, the grammars and arithmetics are to be changed as soon as possible to introduce Whites arith. metic and Maxwelfs grammar. The change will be neither absolute nor ob ligatory, but will be made for the advan tage of all in every way.
