Pierce concerning the roads built by him in Bridgeport, voted to appropriate $35OO, including the allowance made by the town for this purpose, in building trial sections of macadam. It is estimated that this sum will build one mile of macadam 16 feet wide, with good earth finish outside this width, or a proportionate length of greater width of macadam, as some think necessary. It was voted to indefinitely postpone the matter of changing the High street sewer, after explanations from pc titioners, past borough officials, and the present warden and street commissioner.

 Stafford Springs had a comparatively quiet Fourth of July. The night before was unusually quiet, thanks to good po- lice supervision. After the morning trains and the buses for Crystal Lake had left, many people wended their way to Patten's grove, where St. Edwards picnic was the attraction, and the small boy with his tor pedo, fire cracker, horn, etc., held the street. Of course there was lots of noise, but not unusual for the day. Occasional light sprinkles during the forenoon did not dampen the ardor of patriotism, but later in the day the showers became wet ter and more frequent. Those who went to Norwich were disappointed in the put ting over of the bicycle races until the 18th. A considerable delegation went down, hoping to see new laurels placed upon Champion Newton's brow. Those who went to Palmer were more fortunate in seeing the races, though no prizes came to Stafford: Messrs. Converse, Adams and Myers were competitors there. A considerable number abandoned a purpose to go to Woodstock on account of the weather. A few who started on wheels stopped at Mayland Park, and did not count the day lost. During the fourth and succeeding days Stafford had large representation at that place.
 The picnic of the people of St. Edwards parish was kept moving with good pat ronage until 3 p. m., when if was thought advisable to remove it's attractions to St. Edwards hall, large crowd following with their patronage. It was continued in the hall, with dancing and other social amusements, and with we'll patronized booths during Thursday and Friday even- ings. The athletic contests, however, were broken up by the rain, with excep- tion of the pole vaulting, in which Dick Ellis was victor.
 The evening was rainy, but there were many good exhibits of fireworks, the larg- est being from near "Crane's Rock ;" in the east part of the village, and in charge of E. E. Butterdeld.
