BROOKFIELD.

Those who recall the gymnastic ex- hibition given by The Curtis School Athletic Association, last spring, in the Town hall, will be glad to know that it is to offer another entertain ment on the 29th of April, when there will be an opportunity to see again
 those rythmic motions and complicat- ed figures. The program will offer club Swinging and dumb-bell move ments and marching-all to musical accompaniement, without directions, and musical solos. Instead of the Town hall, they will use this time the pretty and roomy new gymnasium of the Curtis school. The admission to this entertainment will be 25c. The doors will be opened at half past seven and the performance will begin at 8. This association of the boys is self governed, and is a we'll managed or ganization. For this par ticular exhi- bition of their work, they have been drilled by their old teacher, and the boys have worked hard in preparation, as those who have seen one of their basket ball games, this spring will be willing to believe. They are deserv- ing of a substantial recognition o1 their efforts. If the weather should be stormy on the 29th, the first fair night of the following week will be taken for the performance.

The history of the old clock is interesting and as fol- lows: The clock was wedding pres. ent at the marriage of Mir and Mrs Horace Bull in 1906. The bride, Miss Polly Dibble, was daughter of Capt Ezra and Mary Frost Dibble. Their old home stood on the site of the place now owned and occupied by Joseph T. Bates on South street in Danbury.

In the course of time the old folks passed away, when the old clock became the property of Miss Mary Bull, who was the founder of the Children's Home in Danbury. On the settlement of Miss Bulls estate, she gave the clock to her assistant, who had been for many years member o1 her family. Miss Stokes became the wife of Henry B.
