A VETERAN PHYSICIAN.

To-day is the eighty-ninth birthday of Dr, Chauncey Ayres of this town, and what gives the event still more in terest to his fellow citizens IS the fact that he has been in the active practice of his honorable and useful profession as a physician among them for the extraordinary period of sixty-three years. The doctors health is still good, his mind clear, and he goes about attending to family and professional affairs, as lively and as chipper as if he were not carrying the weight of almost ninety years on his shoulders. His many friends will, we are sure, take this interesting occasion to join us in wishing him many happy returns' of birthdays which will find him as bright and well as he is to-day.-Stamford Advocate, Aug. IA.

CROQUET TOURNEY.

Some of the Players Who Will be Pres
 ent in Norwich This Week.
 Interest among the players in the coming annual tournament of the Ma tional Croquet association in this city is apparently of the liveliest nature. Secretary N. L. Bishop has received a number of communications in which some of the cleverest players in the country have signified their intention of coming.
 Professor Jacobs of Springfield, Mass, will be here. He Is a strong performer with the mallet and always makes it interesting for his opponent and entertaining for the spectator when he is on the sanded court. He was unable to be present last year and the tournament was lonesome without him.
 Both the Buffers of Middletown will be here. They are said to be in superb form and expect to put up the game of their lives Earl c. Butler won the championship last year, and he is making careful preparation to defend the title of champion of the country, which he holds.
 Adamson and Crosby, fresh from the splendid courts of Cottage City will at tend They will bring with them a young player named Edgeworth, who Is said to be a phenomenon and who Is expected to set the old war horses at hot pace.
 Rev. Philip Germond of New York, a familiar figure on the local courts, has written that he will be unable to attend the tournament this year. He had this summer a brief vacation only, which he has already spent at Cottage City, and he writes that he will be un- able to get off for the croquet games in town next week. Players as well as Norwich friends will regret his absence from the tourney.
 Wahley of Washington, who played for the Van Wickle trophy and who was tied with Butler for first place last year, will be present and is expected to make an interesting bid for the cham pionship this year. Davenport of Northampton and Dwight of Melrose Mass, have also written that they will attend.
 Dickey of Norwich, who is one of the old players, is practising diligently on the local courts and hopes to make a good showing. It is expected that he will be in rare form before the games start next week Tuesday. Secretary Bishop will probably hear from other we'll known players before the end o1 the week.
 | The courts are now in superb condi- tion under the careful attention of MT Meech.
 A letter was recently received from the club at Cleveland, O.. in which i was asked if their representatives would be made welcome. Mr. BishoI assured them that cordial welcome i would be extended The club in Brat tleboro, Vt, will also be represented Norwich Record.

KILLED NINETEEN SNAKES.

A New London gentleman riding near Quaker Hill Sunday, saw what looked like stick in the highway. A second glance showed that 1t was snake of the streaked variety Cutting stick he proceeded to knock the reptile out. As he placed his foot on the body, out came small snake from the old ones mouth. This was promptly dispatched and before he got through eighteen little ones came out and were put out of the way. It is well known habit of snakes to swallow their young for car rying about, but for small one to car- ry eighteen in that way and then to be able to move about Is quite feat Williamantic Chronicle.
