Liens and Interest on Paving Assess
 ments Added Then.
 Those who have not paid their paving assessments due July will do well to see to them before Friday of this week. On that date the time allowed by the law for their payment without interest and liens being added will expire and from that time on the amount will be greater than first assessed, The in terest is computed at the legal rate of 6 per cent and S150 is the amount charged for the placing on liens, so that when the assessments are paid on any day after Friday there will be due and payable the interest for the intervening time and the cost of placing the lien.
 This does not apply to the regular tax list on which interest is not added un- til after September 1. The rate on that is per cent. per annum, or % per cent. a month. This is in accord with the law, winch has been in force since the adoption of the new charter in 1897.

Upon arrival at the house it was found that a large window had been broken out and an entrance made inside. Upon looking in a bedroom upstairs it was found that the bed had been occupied by some per son or persons. A close search If the house failed to find any one about, but search of a bureau resulted in the discovery of brand new suit of clothes that had never been worn and which still had the name and tags of we'll known New Haven clothier. A small silver watch was also found in the bu- reau. Who the occupant of the house has been Is not known and the owner of the clothes will have to apply to MT. Wooding to get them.

AT THE COLISEUM.

Splendid Programme for To-Nights
 Meet.
 The championship races on the grand circuit have narrowed down to a man. to-man fight between Champion Kra- mer and ex-Champion Taylor. The public has grown to disregard the eff forts of the forty pr more athletic chaps who plod along day by day in the ruck of the two stars, Kramer and Taylor. The question after a circuit meet these days is not, "Whc won?" but "Who won, Kramer or Taylor?" These two riders, with the forty odd other travel CTS on the circuit, reach New Haven tonight, and Manager Voigt has ar ranged a splendid programme for the delectation of the audience.
 While the interest will probably cen- ter in the decision of the half-mile championship race, there is so much other sport that will be as thoroughly classy" in every respect that it be a question which will please the audience most. ,gs
 The ten-mile open race for profess sionals will see one of the largest fields and probably the fastest riding in long race that has ever been presented to an audience. The Howard avenue track is very fast for sprinters, and it would not be surprising to see records fall in race wherein Mcfarland, Fenn, "Plugger Bill' Martin, Bald, Hadfield and Beauchamp, all good pluggers, con- test against sprinters of the Taylor, Collett, Lawson, Kimble, Fisher and Bedell class.
 Of course there are other events, but the management looks to these two contests to drive the fans" delirious with excitement. There is a great de- 'mand for seats and probably the larg- est crowd ever seen at bicycle race In this city will be present. Reserved seats are on sale at s. Goodman & Co. s, S20 Chapel street, and at Beck's drug store, 399 Howard avenue.
