 mont September 4.
 The Funeral Directors association ot Connecticut will hold it's annual meet ing in the Connecticut Colonial house in Woodmont September 4. There has been one death in the membership dur ing the year, James H. Lindsley, ot Woodbury, having passed away since the last annual meeting. He was we'll known member of the organiza- ton.
 During the past session no laws were enacted affecting the interests of un- dertakers in the state. In l09i the leg islature passed a number Of amend ments to the mortuary laws existing at that time, placing Connecticut Tn ad- vance of most states in this regard. The system has been so completed that new legislation will not be likely to De required for some time to come. The regulations of the state board or health in regard to the preparation of podles of persons who have died of contagious diseases, for burial, are strictly en- forced.
 The work of the association has been of decided value in the state and many of the changes from old methods are due to it's influence. It is within 1lty years that the avocation of the under taker has been developed. Prior to that time the burying of the dead was conducted by friends and relatives. There were coffin makers and cof1ln dealers, but no undertakers.

MAJOR TAYLOR WILL QUIT.
Colored Champion Says He is Through
 With Racing.

Colored Champion Says He is Through
 With Racing.
 Major Taylor's racing days are over, if the Major is to be believed He told Ia Worcester Gazette man yesterday day that he would probably not be seen on the cycle track of the country again. This decision on the part of the ebony king is one forced upon him. The Major is certain that the national cycling association, together with all the fast riders of the country, IS anxious to get rid of him. He is i'm pressed with this opinion and no amount of arguments seems to make him waver in the conclusions he has drawn from premises which LOOK log ical. Chairman A G. Batchelder Of the racing board of the National Cycling association has ordered Taylor into all the races of the national circuit, sick or we'll" as he puts it. Failure to ap- pear at any of the tracks over which the national championships are run means a fine of $100 for the Major. Sick or well the Major is obliged to be present and ride at these meets under penalty of S1OO for each race.
 A doctors certificate of the Majors condition has been sent to the chair man of the National Cycling associa- ton racing board. It reached him, and yesterday morning his reply by wire was, You must appear at all na- tional circuit meets, sick or we'll" k. F. Kelsey, official referee of the nation- al cycling association In Massachu- setts, has also taken a hand in the matter, and yesterday morning tele- graphed Major Taylor that he must appear at Boston last night. Providence tonight and Worcester Friday night, under paid of $100 fine.
 And all this unreasonable action, &C., cording to the Major, has been taken without any inquiry into the cause of Tay]ors absence from the circuit. To the Major mind, there is but one req son for all this. It Is a desire to be rid of him. He says it's on account of color. No man wishing to be con- sldered sane would take the action that Batchelder has in the matter He has gone ahead fining Taylor right and left without inquiry. He can fine so far as the Major is concerned, but, says the Major, flning and collecting are two quite different things, and Major has the money and Batch" the fines.
 You can put this down." said the Major, Batch has got about all the fines he'll ever get from me. I paid one fine of $500, and that's all I will pay. Look at two almost parallel cases. Nat Butler and I were each blacklisted by the National Cycle association and kept out of the racing for some time. I was let in last year on the payment of $500 fine Nat Butler was asked into the game for nothing. Nice work, isn't it? Catch me settling any more fines"
 And the Major rolled over on his be- pillowed couch and groaned Major IS either a very sick man or he is cap l ital fakir His attending physician Dr. 1 P. P. Comey, finds him unwell with stomach trouble which seems to be hereditary in the family. The Majors mother died of tuberculosis of the stomach, a disease of which his sister died last winter. The docter cautioned the rider against any exercise, and he l is following instructions.

OYSTER EXPERIMENT A FAIL
 JJRE

For some reason the experiment or nlanting oysters in Mystic River, tried by the Breakwater Oyster Company or Greenport l.. l., year ago, mas not resulted as successfully as was antlcl- pated. Captain Fordham, an agent or the company, recently examined the condition of the bivalves, and his re- port is not of an encouraging nature It has been hoped that good results would follow the effect made by the company to establish an oyster indus trv there and developments may show the wisdom of the move, but nothing to encourage a continuation of the effort has developed as yet.
