The severe storm of yesterday after
noon made some more work for the
street department Most of the streets
damaged by the storm of last week
were in good condition when yester-
days downpour came up, but after it
was over things were about as bad as
ever and in some instances worse, for
the soft dirt offered but feeble re-
sistance to the mad rush Of surface
water that carried everything before it.
The Foresters of America general
committee met last evening and put
the finishing touches on all arrange
ments pertaining to their big field day
and picnic on Saturday next. Twenty
of the speediest bicycle riders will take
part in this bicycle race. The horse
racing, both trotting and running, are
at fever heat. The sport committee
has decided to be at the Foresters
reading rooms, East Main street, each
evening to receive any further entries
and to attend to all matters of sport
that may come up. &c
After the storm last evening North
square was sight. It looked ast ff'Iit
had rained sand and cobble stones.
There was a layer Of this kind OF mats
ting half a foot thick, so that in parts
it was impossible to see the splendid
brick pavement, which City Engineer
Cairns says is the finest job Of the kind
in the city. During the storm the
square was impossible, it being COW
cred with at least half foot of water
But this is nothing new, yet people say
if could be remedied by putting in
catch basin at the foot of Bishop
street.
People living near the Manhan canal
thought the dam would break last
night while the storm wasrat its height,
and that it would also sweep away the
railroad tracks. The last storm gave
the railroad company a new tip rim sen-
cheering, it seems, for the water IN
stead of crossing the tracks and flow
ing into the adjoining meadows and
then cutting q gully through the rail-
road bed, just bounded along the tracks
and went out on West Main street.
This, the people believe, saved the
track, bed. The trolley cars had some
difficulty at the Naugatuck railroad
crossing. but nothing more serious than
to delay the cars half an hour.
