 -George F. Jackson of New Haven, the Connecticut representative of the American Clay company of PittSburg, Pa. was on q business trip to this sec ton today. He was accompanied by Walter l.. Bradley of Derby. q well known and skilled photographer. Their purpose in visiting this section was to take photograph of the pavement on Bank street from Washington ave- nue to Porter street, which is made of McMahonPorte brick which is manufactured by the American Clay company. A catalogue is being pre- pared by this company which will contain sketches or photographs of streets throughout the various cities of Connecticut and other states. where the McManon-Porter brick is used to l form the pavement and accordingly Bank street was the victim of the pho | Iographer this morning. MT Jackson said that the pavement on Bank street was down four years now and it is almost in as good condition now as when it was first laid. thus attestin@ wonderful evidence of the durability of tine bricks. The idea of taking photographs originated q short time since when NIr Jackson engaged MT Bradley to take a photograph of three-lnile patch of vitritied brick pipe 1 in Hartford This picture was sent | to tine cOmpany'S headquarters and it l so pleased them that they requested 1 views of other paVrlncntS and bricks | should he taken. Views of the pave ment on North Willow. North Main | from Grove to the end of the pave ment OH North Main strct and Spring | street. Mir Jackson said that the num- 1 crouS factories of the American Clay 1 company in Ohio and Pennsylvania are 1 kept very busy throughout the entire | year. the annual output being about ! 1I.0O0.0U0 bricks. Both AIr Jackson 1 and MT Bradley have many friends in | this city whom they desired to see. l but time didn't permit. As stated be- | fore it Was q flying trip. for they left New Haven this morning and return | ed shortly after noon.
 It is said that Mr Casey, the we'll 1 known dispenser of cool drinks on | the corner of Washington avenue and Railroad Hill street, is having q peck of trouble over the strange and wild antics of a calf, of which lie is the I1n- i happy pOSSeSSOr. Quite q while ago. | it iS said that Mr Casey purchased of a'reSident of WOlcOtt a hrindIe COW. The COW was a good one except it had q very. very wicked temper. It was of ! q wild and roaming nature and was | very active with it's feet. especially l the hind ones. A short time ago. T calf was born and surely. indeed. Mir | Owners cup of troubles was just be- ! ginning. As the calf grew older, it became wilder and more furious than
 
 one to approach it. It is said there was great excitement caused in the neighborDood by the wild and peculiar actions of the calf. It was a chip of the old block. Something would have | to be done with it. \ unique idea en- tered AIr Casey's head. He would i shut it up in the cellar and so he did. All went well until one morning this week. Some of IIellmann'S men were | engaged in putting ill refreshments in the cellar of the saloon. As one of the men. q German. entered the cellar the calf made Il leap over four or five barrels which impcded his way and ! gave the man q fierce butt ill the side, knocking him down. The unfortunate ! victim. as quickly as he could Scamper ! to his feet. rushed away to find the owner of this vicious animal He wanted the calf killed. but Mir Casey persuaded him to spare it's life and he would Faifie it off on Saturday night. so the story runs. John Staple ton. who was in charge of the brewery i men on the day of the brutal assault. has composed the following verse in regard to it.
 Why Casey's calf grew so tall They couldn't get him out of the cellar
 et all.
 While the brewery man he would have
 his life.
 By Jehovah. said Casey. let him go
 until Saturday night.
 And I'll play him off with the cards. And the man that wins may have
 him all.
 But Ey Beelzebub. he will have to
 take him out through the cellar
 door by quarters.
