TIMELY SCHOOL MATTERS.

IiMELl sCHOOL MATTERS.
 The interest in the new school hou SC, for the consolidated districts. is constant- ly increasing, and if every one who real ly desires to see our town make one grand stride in the march of improve ment, will attend every meeting until the preliminaries are all settled and aid by presence and vote in carrying the pro- ject to speedy consumatioD. it need not be long before the finished building is an assured fact. The law allowing wom- en to attend and have a voice in all dis trict school meetings is now in operation, but they must register to have their votes counted legally. At the last meet ing few ladies availed themselves of the privilege accorded them, and gave the weight of their influence on the side of the new building The next adjourn ed meeting will be held at the Center school house, Saturday evening, August l2, when the committee appointed to ob- tain plans, specifications, estimates, etc., will report. Let there be a rousing full meeting, not only of men but women, and do all that can be done to quickly do away with the present dilapidated build ing.
 With few exceptions, the schools of the town will resume sessions, this fall, with new teachers.

GOOD BALL PLAYING.

We are being treated, this summer, to some remarkably fine exhibitions of ball. playing and that it is fully appreciated, is evidenced by the large attendance and the enthusiasm of the spectators. Among the summer guests of the surrounding re- sorts and in this village are many fine players. Some of them members of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Polytechnic and other teams. Last Saturdays game be- tween picked nine and the Y. M. c. A. club of Danbury was a fine and exciting exhibition and close contest. The Fair field team consisted of Stewart & Kelly battery, Thore lb, Entz 2b, Dunn 3b, Dunn s, Slade l f, Chapman c and Brown r f Conover umpired. It was contest of pitchers up to the seventh inning, when the Danburians got on to Stewart and batted him freely, making five runs. This so frightened the local team, that they laid off Stwart and put in his place Harvard freshman | pitcher. This caused great dissatisfac- 1 tion among the spectators and also caused Kelly to refuse to play any long CT. This is to be regretted as his place cannot be filled. His work on Saturday was fine, and to it is largely due the cred it of winning the game. The score at the close was Fairfield II, Y. M. c. A. s. Next Saturday the St Mares play the Beachsides at Phipp's. --,--

Hawks and owls are not such terrible ene- mies of the farmer, after all. Dr c. K. Fisher, of the department of agriculture, has just is- sued special report on these birds. He says that only ak of the 7s species and sub-species of hawks and owls of the United States are in- jurlons. Three of those six are extremely rare. and another, the fish hawk, is only indi- rectly injurious, leaving two, the sharp shinn cd and cooper's hawk. to be reckoned with. Quitting the six species, 2sl2 stomachs were examined. of which 5e per cent contained mice and other small mammals, 27 per cent insects, and only l-a per cent poultry or game birds. In view Of these facts the folly of offering bounties for the destruction of hawks and owls, as has been done by several states. becomes apparent. and the importance of an accurate knowledge of tho economic stAtus of our common birds and mammals is overwhelmingly demonstrated.
