WON BY THE COUNTRY CLUB
NEV HAVEN TEAM TAKES STATE
 COLT CHAMPIONSHIP.
Too Much for the visitors-The Orford Club Was a Close Second, Being Three Strokes Behind-W Winding Up of the Tournament.
TOurnanl ent.

The New Haven Country club golf the state Saturday and therefore come into possession of the Norfolk Dowans cup for a year. The play finished most successful state tournament and it was a fitting wind-up on the part of the New Haven club. The members of the team have figured quite prominent ly in the playing for the individual Championships, and under the captain cy of Frank G. Beach their all-round steady and consistent playing on Sat urday was too much for the visiting teams. The New Haven players were F. G. Beach, L. E. Stoddard, c. H. Ziln- merman, Gervaise Green, Roger s. White, 2d, and Anson Phelps Stokes, jr., and the total number of strokes for the morning and afternoon play was 1,077. Eighteen holes were played in the morning and eighteen in the after noon.
 The Orford club, of South Manches- ter composed of members of the Che ney family, was a close second, it hay ing 1,0S0, three more strokes than the New Haveners.
 The Wee Burn club, of which Cham pion Seeley is member, was third with 1,105 strokes, and the Fairfield club was fourth with one more stroke than the Wee Burn club. Then followed the Brooklawn club, of Bridgeport, With l. 113, and the Hartford club was last with LILY strokes.
 T. l.. Cheney made the best total for the thirty-six holes, with a score of 167, which was two less than that of c. H. Seeley, who holed the course twice in 169 G. A. Jenkins and c. Truesdale made good showing with 170 as did F. G. Beach with I'll.

meatflies, by reason of their rapid multiplication, would consume dead horse quicker than would lion, and the fact that certain dipters having some resemblance to the honey-bee lay their eggs In the dead oarcasses of animals probably led Samson and Vigil to make erroneous statements with regard to the genesis of honey and the manufacture of bees. The breed- ing of "gentles" for ground-bait is an industry the practisers of which could probably give much information as to the nicety of choice exercised by flies in selecting material for feeding and egg-laylne. According to Packdung by preference forr cvipositing, and as each female lays about 120 eggs and the cycyle of changes from egg to fly is completed in less than three weeks, it seems probable that a female fly might have some 25000,00o descendants in the course of hot summer. Other varieties of files multiply, I believe, still more rapidly
 As flies multiply upon and in orgaic refuse of every kid, it is obvious that the sooer such refuse is placed where it cannot serve for the feeding and hatchig of flies the more likely is the plague of files to be lessened. The most commonly available method for the bastowal of organic refuse is burial. The egg laying of flies in dead carcasses commence at the very instant of death, or even before deaht in the case of en- feebled animals.-The Lancet

there are five churches, with regular attendance of about four thousand per- sons at the Sunday morning services. Three of the congrega tions own their own buildings, aggregating almost $400,- 000 in value.
 The Third church building is striking in appearance, being constructed of white enameled brick and terra cotta walls set upon a granite base. The main entrance is from Washington Boulevard through the lofty loggia with it's thanking buttressss and imposing columns of granite Within is a large vestlbule and foyer, both paved with marble Mosaic tiles and decorated in soft tones of golden yellow and ivory. The foyer is fitted with comfortable seats, fireplaces and other provisions for the convenience of the congrega- tion.
 The auditorium proper is above the foyer and Is reached by several stair ways. It Is striking in it's simplicity and the breadth and power of it's pro- portions. The great expanse of it's sur faces, the uplift of it's high vaulted ceiling. the softness and harmony of It's decorations, with the rich, opalescent lighting from it's many beautiful win dows, combine to make a room which IS archtecturally unit of beauty.
 The huildine ie heated hv steam. lighted by electricity and is strictly modern in it's appointments. A three manual Hook & Hastings organ is plac- ed above the readers platform. The seating capacity of the building is fif- teen hundred. The remarkable growth of the congregation during the occu- pancy of the Jewish temple on Ogden avenue indicates that the capacity Of the building will be tested at no dis tant date.

STABLE BURNED ON SUNDAY.
Two Hcrses We're Injured, and One OF Them
Was Killed

On Sunday afternoon at 3:2i o'clock an
alarm of fire was turned in from box 5,
caused by the burning Of a frame
building in the rear of No. 1923 IL North
Sixth Street, owned and occupied by Mr..
W. f. Drinkard, Jr., as a stable. The
fire burned furiously for awhile, and
spread to an adjoining shed, in Which
were several wagons belonging to S. Ull-
mans Sons.
Engines Nos. 4 and 3 and Truck No. 1
quickly responded, and by good work pre-
vented what might have been a more
serious cOniiaSration. In Drinkard's sta
BILE were two horses, one of which was
SO badly burned that it was killed by
Mr.. Emmett Taylor, of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The other was burned, but will probably
get over it all right. This horse was
carried to Burnett's stable, where it is
being treated by veterinary surgeon.
The tops of two of Mr.. Drinkards wag-
ons We're burned off, and ore of Ullman' s
wagons was partly burned
The damage, beside the loss Of the
horse, was covered by insurance and
amounted to about 5000. The cause of
the fire is not known, but it was thought
to have been occasioned by careless
smoking.
About $40 o'clock Sunday afternoon a
still alarm was turned in from No 515
North Twenty-second Street, occupied as
a dwelling by Mr.. c. e. May. The alarm
was occasioned by an overlleated wood
stove and Il defective flue. The damage
was trifling.
