 Variety.
 On Tuesday night, December 6, a past grand's collar will be given for the most popular noble grand of Rebecca lodges. A workman's pin will be given away December
 Music will be furnished each evening for dancing by the A. o. U. w. or chestra. MT, Hill will prompt. Owners of fine trotting and road horses in this vicinity are anxious for the snow to get worn down and frozen, so that there will be fine sleighing There was some talk early in inc sea- son of having a speedway in Fair Ha- ven, and Clinton avenue was suggested as suitable street for speeding horses
 but nothing has been said about the project since the storm. Several horse owners nave been over to city hall to suggest to the director of public works the adv1sability of carting the surpIus snow and scattering it on the bare spots in the cross streets where there ara no car tracks, to improve the sleiehing During the first storm Grand avenue
 pFldGe was swept clean of snow, but the second snow covered it. Much has melted away and there is necessity to cart snow upon the bridge if the sleighing is to be preserved. The rner | chants say it is in the interests of good business to have sleighing and everything possible should be done to
 secure it.
 People who pay taxes in. this vicinity,
 or many of them, are wondering just
 what return they are getting for the same. The crosswalks piled high with SHOW are something terrible If two
 shovelers could be set at work in each of the Eleventh, Twelfth and Four teenth wards many crosswalks could be shoveled out in just one day If a heavy rain sets in light draft boats
 will be necessary for ferriage at the street crossings. Fourteenth ward peo pie say they were better cared for un 1 der the town government. East Grand avenue is almost impossible for the 1 great heaps of snow.
 The lat home" reception of MT. and
 Mrs. Earl F. Johnson, recently mar ried, took place Wednesday evening at their home on Clinton avenue. About
 seventy-five friends called during the | evening. The house was prettily deco ! rated with n ,o1o
 running vine. The ushers were Frank | Beverley, Charles Oldershaw and Will 1 liam Oldershaw. Cake, cream and lem 1 onade were served during the evening.
 It was a very enjoyable season for all 1 who attended.

 No. 39 l. o. O. F., for their many i kindnesses.

The 7, subject of the second entertainment is | Hawaii" to be given Wednesday af- ternoon, December ', at the home of | Mrs. G. 4. Alling, 1195 Chapel street. The people of East Haven are com i blaming of the slowness of the city au- | thorities in digging out the road be- i tween the two towns. On Monday last
 the East Haven authorities dug out the ! drift to the New Haven line, but be- yond that point nothing has been done. | In driving this way it is necessary to
 turn out in the lots to avoid the huge
 drifts.
