ANOTHER BREECHEs BIBLE.
In Possession of Mrs. Page, Who Has
 Many Antique Treasures.

In Possession of Mrs. Page, Who Has
 Many Antique Treasures.
 Mrs. Mary Page, who resides on Riv- CT street, is the owner of copy of the rare old Brooches Bible." It is of a later date than the book owned by Mrs. Mary Billiard, and which was men tioned in the Advocate month ago. The latter was printed in 1897 while the Bible which is in the possession of Mrs. Page was printed by Robert Barker, 16O6." It differs from Mrs. Billiard s Bible in one respect; it contains the 'Booke of Common Prayer and Ad- ministration of the Sacraments," also "The Whole Booke of Psalmes, Collect ed into English Meeter by Thomas Sternwald, John Hopkins and others, conferred with the Hebrews, with apt notes to sing them withall." The Old Testament is illustrated. The last pages of the old leather bound book are devoted to two explanatory tables which were Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the King s Most Excellent Majestic in 1905. This Bible has always been in Mrs. Pages family and is very well preserved
 Mrs. Pages grandmother was Han- nah Whitney, who was communicant of St. Johns Episcopal church in Stamr ford for seventy-two years. Her moth- CT, Betsy Waring, was christened in the same church by the rector, pr. Dib- blee, in 17S5. A small cherry stand in one corner of the room was Mrs. Pages mothers when she was little girl, fl being birthday present at ten years ot age, in 1795
 Mrs. Page has an ottoman of mahog- any covered with haircloth, which once belonged to Moses Rogers, who many years ago owned Shippan Point and who was the grandfather of Colonel Woolsey R. Hopkins, who resides at Shippan during the summer.
 Mrs. A. M. Reed, a sister of Mrs Mary Page, also living in the little house on River street, has a large book, heavily bound in leather This title of this book is: "Expository Notes, with Practical Observations upon the Holy Gospel According to St Matthew, by William Burkitt, M. A. late Vicar and Lecturer of Dedham 1T Essex a wood cut of whom is to be seen on the front page.-Stamford Ad- vocate.

SLUMP IN THE PRICE OF HAY.

A Portland letter in the Middletown Press says: For several months there has been a general inquiry as to the reason for the present slump in the de- mand for hay. Only few years ago it was one of the most profitable crops a farmer could raise; now it hardly pays for harvesting. Then a farmer was considered most fortunate who had se- cured a large crop. Now he realizes but little more than his expenses on a most abundant field. It it reported that within two years both horses and cat tie have disappeared from the quarries to make room for mechanical contri- vances. Travelling cranes and donkey engines are now doing the work that for years had required one hundred and fifty yoke of oxen and three hundred horses to do. This innovation has also. it is stated, thrown two hundred men out of employment. The Portland quarries must keep up to the times, and were compelled by competition to resort to the inevitable. Then there are "Si- los," a new process recently discovered by the farmers for preservation of corn stalks and other food products, which it is claimed is not only cheaper, but much more profitable as food for milch cows than hay. These "SiIos" are rap- idly coming into use, and the only thing now visible whereby farmer can reap any reward from hay is to again resort to raising cattle. There are also the electric roads. third rails, etc.

SATURDAYS CAME.

Yales first game at home was wit messed by large crowd. Wesleyan sent up green team, which should make a good showing before the close of the year. Yale scored but once just before the finish of the first half, Mar win making the touchdown. In the sec ond half the entire team with the ex- ception of Brown and deSaulles was changed. An unexpected feature of the game was the unusual amount of fum- bling on the part of Yale. This has been conspicuously absent from the practice. Both teams were off-sde en- tirely too much during the game. The policy of building up some weak spots in the teams play during game with a weak team, together with the hot weather accounts for the small score made.

KNOCKED DOWN ON cHRUcH ST.


 William c. Blatchley was arrested near the corner of Church and Crown streets last night by Patrolman Heen- an on the charge of breach of the peace in assaulting Charles E. Bement, foreman at Sergeant & Co.'S factory. MT. Bement said that he was walking down Church street in front of the First National bank building when 8 man walked up quickly behind him and as he supposed was about to pass on by when the fellow suddenly struck him a hard blow on the lower right jaw, knocking him down. MT. Bement got up and followed Blatchley until he saw Patrolman Heenan, and had his as sailant arrested. MT Benent says that he never saw Blatchley before and that the assault was unprovoked.

PoLoINDERBY AND BRIDGEPORT

I oIIo LIN lCLLllo kAAN1I DIeLISIISL oLAi
 James McLay of this city will have charge of the Derby polo club in the Southern New England league He is making extensive arrangements toward putting strong team on the floor. The Casino at Housatonic park will be re- fitted as a rink.
 Every effort is now being made to secure Bridgeport for the Southern New England league exclusively. A Nation al league franchise of that city was se- cured some time ago by Manager Har- ris of that place, but it is thought that Harris will not get the backing neces- sary to fit over the old rink in that city and to equip team. Such back ing has already been secured for a franchise in the s. N. E. league. It will take about S1,500 at the very low est estimate to put the Bridgeport rink in first class condition, but this has already been pledged and providing Harris drops out and the National league contract becomes void, the fla nous ''Dumpy' Williams will possibly be placed in charge of a s. N. B. team, which will represent the Park City. This will mean the fastest kind of polo for the whole league.
