| The refreshing rain of Wednesday
night and yesterday has been grateful

came in time to save some of the crops
| corn, potatoes, etc-that bid fair to
be total failure hereabouts. While
the rainfall was not enough to make
house at Paugh pond, the borough's
water supply, yet 1t has tended to re-
move the great strain that has for
some time past been made on the wa
ter supply by the almost constant use
of garden hose and lawn sprinklers.
What rain fell came so easy that it was
absorbed by the dry earth and did a
great deal of good. The streets and
outside roads, which were a mass of
dust, have been cleaned and show an
improved appearance.

Rain Interfered With the Rranford
Automobile Races.

Louis A. Fisk, owner of the Branford
Driving park, stated yesterday after
noon that the automobile races were in
definitely postponed. Yesterday was to
have been the second day of the races
and a large attendance was expected
Hundreds of New Haven people who
did not attend the first day had arrang-
ed to go out yesterday and see the
finals. The hard rain, however, made
the track so heavy that it was imprac-
ticable to race yesterday afternoon.
Nearly all of the owners of autos enter
ed in the races had engagements else
where and could not arrange to finish
the Branford races at any subsequent
date. Indefinite postponement was
therefore made necessary
