Put a number of each of two or
three kinds OF fishes IN an aquarium
tank and the fishes of each kind Will
recognize one another perfectly; and
the fishes of the several kinds bunch
together and travel around together
Apparently fishes may also know one
another individually. q -. :. ~,r,
1t not infrequently happens that
among fishes of the. same kind IN
tank one will harry and drive. about
the rest, or perhaps select one flsh as
the object of its attacks. eF-ir might
be that in the case of two fishes of,
the same, kind in one tank one would
bully and persistently harry the other !
as though besides having nagslhg'
nature it had against the other nsh.
a personal animosity.
In such a case as that last describ-
ed, it is sometimes necessary to take
the harried fish out of the tank TO
save its life. If another fish of the
same kind is then put in the tank il in
the place of the one taken out, the
scrapner and nagger lets it alone He

doesn't harry it as he did the other.

ALI RACES IN MILE HEATS
AtBrantord Driving Park Hereafter

l Branford Driving park patrons will
 be pleased to learn that commencing with the great July and 4 meet all races at this track will be run in mile l heats, best three in five. It seems that there was some complaint as to why
 the Memorial day events were not run
 in mile heats, and upon being asked with regard to the matter by q repre- sentative of this paper MT. Fisk stated as follows:
 At so early in the season the horses are not trained down fine enough to go the full distance, or mile heats, and then, again, you see we had been hay ing so much rainy weather just preVi- ous to the day of the races that the track was a bit heavy So you see we were obliged to arrange the heats to suit the horses. Now 1t will be much different, because the season is further advanced; and hereafter at all meets held at Branford Driving park the races will be run in mile heats, best three in five''
 The card as announced for the com- ing meet is without doubt the very best ever offered to patrons of this popular track. The purses aggregate in all $85O and will be divided to the winners of the following events: The 2:40 class for trotters, purse of $15O, and the 2;30 class for pacers for purse of $200
 The second days events are the 2:21 class for pacers, purse of $250, and the 224 class for trotters for a purse of $250
 In addition to the above there will be plenty of good music by the Second regiment band and a fine vaudeville card The special train service is as follows:
 Trains leave Union depot, this city, at 7:4S, 9:35 and 115O a. m. The Bran ford Driving park special" will leave Union depot, this city, ab 1:3O p. m, stopping at Branford Driving park sta- ton.
 The following trains make best con- nections with the above special trains: Train leaving Waterbury at 11:1O q. m, Ansonia at 1i:25 a. m., Derby at 11:30 a, m., Cheshire at 1135 a. m., Meriden at 12.5S noon, Middletown at 12:21 noon and Wallingford at 11:26 a. m,
 Trains leaving Saybrook Junction at 1035 a. m. and 12;21 noon will stop at Branford Driving park station The fare for the round trip on the Bran ford Driving park special" which leaves this city at 1:30 D. m, is but 25 cents, and the admission to the park is but 30 cents.
