resident here more than fifty years ago
Mr.. Mix came to Westport about the
year 1914 and learned the trade of cab
met maker with the then leader in that
line, Allen Renond, who is still here
and in good health at the age of eighty
six years. He was a favorite among
the young ladies at that time and it
was evident he could have been accepted
in marriage by any of them. His heart
was cold to all smiters, but in 1S49
yielded to the fairest one crossing his
track, Miss Maria Hendrick of Hamden,
sister of New Haven's late mayor, the
Hon, Albert C. Hendrick, who had
been a quarter of a century chief of that
city's fire department. Mr.. Mix has
represented his town in the legislature,
is an influential citizen and now and
then comes down to Westport to see
how many of the old love-fames he
parted with liz the long ago survive
after failing to mix interests with him
self. Mr. and Mrs. Mix, with children
and grandchildren, will make family
affair of the anniversary without dis
play.

The practice for positions on the state
team began at 10 O'Clock Monday morn
ing and the Interstate match score was
shot. This match is ten shots to each
man at 200 yards and ten shots at 500
yards. The scores made have been very
satisfactory to the team captains and in-
dicate that the Georgians will make good
fight for the prizes.
The wind during the early morning
blew at the rate Of twelve miles an hour
from the northeast, and almost directly
in the faces of the marksmen. The 500
yard shooting was done in this breeze and
as the position of the marksman is prone
with head toward the target, it did not
affect scores nearly so much as il would
have done at 200 yards where
the shooting Is off-hand. The 20O-yard
scores were made this afternoon when
the wind had abated and the conditions
were almost perfect.
