Norwalk and Westport Enthusiastic.
 Norwalk, Conn.,, July 2S-Citizens of NorwalS and Westport are planning to given Admiral Dewey a big reception upon the occasion of his visit to Ad- miral Schey.

Stuart Wortley at Hendricks Point, where Admiral Schley is spending the summer.

GREAT TUG OF WAR CONTEST.

Britsh-Americans Will Try Their son Park on Friday.
 The great tug of war contest between the representatives of the different BritishAmeriCan societies of this city, which takes place at Pawson park on Friday afternoon, is causing great ex- citement among the friends and the interested parties, It will be remember
 ed that last year the Sons of St. George
 offered a handsome silver challenge cup
 for competition. The cup to be won
 three times before becoming the proper
 ty of the winners. Four teams entered
 the contest last year, all of which were outclassed by Clan McLeods S team, who
 won and now holds the trophy. It is gen. erally conceded that the final tussle this year will again be between the two Scottish societies, although some main- tain that Red Cross lodge has a sur prise in store that will astonish their opponents. The New Haven CaIedonan club are anxious to win the cup this year and have got together a very powerful team, which should give a good account of itself Clan Mcleod has almost the same identical team that won the championship last year, and ance, and will be hard to beat The steamer Victor will make two trips dur
 ing the day and it is expected that a large crowd will go down to see the contests if the weather is fine.

WHY HE DID TT.
Governor Lounsbury's Explanation Re-

Governor Lounsbury's Explanation Re- Sarding the Dental Commission. Hartford, July 26.-The Times yester- day afternoon printed the following: In view of the controversy over the re- appointment of the old dental commis- sion, the governor sends us the follow ing letter, which explains itself: State of Connecticut, Executive De- partment, Hartford, July 26, 1899. Dear MT. Burr-Your request for an interview is at hand. The whole thing may be summed up in these few Words In dealing with the dental commission and in the matter of its appointment l took at the start the solid ground that every commissioner should owe his first allegiance to the state and his highest duty to it's people. o
 '"The only charge that was ever made to me against Dr. Baker was that he was guilty of violation of dental ethics. I declined to enter into the field of the professional quarrel, but l did thoroughly investigate both the fitness and the work of all tbe dental com missioners whom I appointed. I found that even the enemies of pr. Baker &C., knoWledged that he had been good commissioner and that all the commis- sioners had worked together efficiently and in harmony. And so ] treated the five men alike and gave to each of them a reappointment.
 "I have nothing but the highest re- spect for most worthy association when I say that in making these re- appointments I had regard for the statutes of the state of Connecticut rather than for the rules of an honor able club You are at perfect liberty to use this letter as you please, and remain
 'Very Sincerely Yours,
 George F. Lounsbury."

The Stock Market.

New York, July 2e.-There was not much change in the character of the trading in securities to-day. The early hours of the trading were marked by a continuance of the upward movement in the same stocks, which developed strength while there was a conspicuous absorption of Rock Island, which was attributed to the operation of a pool. Buying from the same source was sup posed to account for the advance of 1A
 in Peoples Gas and for the vigirous up-
