Large Gathering at Drum Corps Con-
 cert and Dance.
 Notwithstanding the inclement weather large crowd and a most soA c1able gathering turned out to the sec ond annual concert and daIce given by the Naugatuck drum corpsat the opera house last night Ford's full orchestra furnished excellent music and Prof Baxter prompted ThereE were three full corps and delegations from two others present from neighboring towns. The full corps present we're the Matta- tuck drum corps of Waterbury. the Avon and Liberty drum cofps from An soma. The street parade started at :5O. The weather had much to do With the keeping home of many who would have gone, and several corps rom other towns remained away for this reasol also. The Mattatuck corps rom Waterbury created q deal of in terest with their colonial costumes. Taking everything together the second annual of the ever popular NaugatucIz drum corps was grand success both socially and financially, and their third grand concert and dance will be await ed with impatience.
 Eugene Sullivan, who has been visit Ing friends in town the past week, left to-day for New Haven. where he will resume his studies at Yale law school.
 There was no. session of the borough court this lorning.
 Io-morroy evening the High school basket ball team will go to Waterbury To play the High school team of that city. The livalry between the two teams, while friendly, is nevertheless very strong8 and the game will be worth witnessing. A large number of supporters of the local boys will accom- pany them 10 Waterbury. The local High school will probably be repre- sented by the following team: Center, Ehglehardt; forwards, Clifford and An derson; guards, Hart and Goyens.
 The public schools reopened this morning after ten days Easter vaca- tlon. St Francis's parochial school Will reopen a week from to-day.
 The weather yesterday was what might be justly called a freak of na- ture. At one time the sun would be shining brightly and the ozone so fra grant in spring weather was every where apparently present; but To! in the next half hour would bave the ap- pearance of a bleak December day, and would be accompanied by a squau or snow or down pour of rain. To- wards dusk it rained quite heavily, but later on it changed to snow and con tinued to snow until early in the morn. ing.
 Work on the proposed changes at the almshouse was commenced this morn ing.
 The trout law if off today and sey- efal sportsmen were out trying their LUCK. 1t Is unlikely that many of the speckled beauties will find their way into the hsherman'S basket to-day, for the cold snow and rain which fell yes. terday evening chilled the water and made 1t too cold for the trout to ven. ture forth. This is the opinion of sev. efal old experts with the rod and reel ana their opinions are respected. How. ever, this Is not so of the old sport who thinks the weather has nothing to do with the catching, so he, with the heip or his better half, spent the great CT part of last night overhauling his tackle, and just as like as not the boys had lost all his hooks, and then-well. ne went to-day anyway, and what his luck was remains to be seen
