Vicious dogs are causing consider
able annoyance in Waterbury and if
the business goes on and no prosecu-
tons follow pretty soon no one will
be safe on the public streets Most
OF these ours are not registered and
about the only satisfaction one gets
about it if he inquiries whether they
are registered or not is that the dogs
don't belong to them. There are too
many dogs about the streets, especi-
ally of the kind that worry pedestrians
and the police should get rid of some
of Them A man has no right to have
vicious dog, registered or unregis-
tered, at large.
1t took Judge Peasley only a very
few minutes this morning to dispose

fcer Moore found Joseph Miserefrene

few friends and they filled him with
the beer. He was fined SO and costs.
A complaint against John Newell, the

The crowd which enjoyed the st Jo-
seph's annual excursion to New York
and Coney Island Saturday numbered
just 1920 people, about 1, 900 of whom
were from Waterbury and the remain
der from the stations along the line.
The day was ideal for a sail and the
enjoyment of the trip recompensed
| for the shortness of the stay at the
| island. Owing to the slowness of the
boat and the unusually large crowd
aboard it was almost 4:3O when the
| crowd had landed on the island. They
were only allotted until 5 for their
stay, but on account of a delay it was
almost 6 o'clock when the Sirius
weighed anchor again. On the return
trip New Haven was reached before
o'clock, but owing to lack of pro-
vision on the part of the railroad com
/ pany it required until 4:30 for the last
| trainload to reach Waterbury. Both
socially and financially the excursion
was success.
| The Foresters of America general
committee has made arrangements to
entertain 10000 people at Driving
| park next Saturday. The seventeen
courts of this popular organization
have never before taken the interest in
a public event that they are display
ing in the coming field day and picnic
| A number of the courts are giving
handsome presents to the members
| selling the greatest number of tickets.
| This incentive to the members has
made the advance sale very large as
each of the seventeen courts are cred
| tied by the general secretary with sell
ing from 800 to 500 tickets. At a con-
seryatiye estimate there will be an adj
| vance sale by the $500 members of
| the order of 5000 tickets, then adding
| 1000 members and friends from sur.
Grounding towns it therefore can be
carefully estimated that with favor
able weather there will assemble al
the Driving park from 5000 to 10000
people to participate in this great day s
amusements. The program for that
day is an elaborate one.
