 There is a strong probability that a petition, signed by residents of Meri- den and Wallingford and vicinity, will soon be presented to the Consolidated railroad authorities asking for a later train to New Haven in the morning and later train in the evening going north on Sundays during the summer months. At the present time the train going south is rather early in the morn ling and generally crowded to it's ut- most capacity, and the evening train, which leaves New Haven about eight o'clock, is rather early. Many cannot get away at the early morning hour and would rather go about two hours later. The evening train is quite early and visitors at the shore resorts have to leave at the pleasantest time of the day, much to their discomfort A train leaving here about 10 o'clock a. m. and returning about Il o'clock p. m would prove a great convenience during the summer season and would be literally patronized by the many who would like an evening at the shore. The Meriden Y. M c. A. tennis team
 will play the Country club team here next Saturday.
 F.. H. Robinson, the milkman, who has leased the Merinan farm, had a lively experience Saturday morning about o'clock. He was driving along Center street and at William street his horse and wagon made sudden drop, the ground giving way under them, so that the biggest part of the rear half of the horse and the front part of the wagon were out of sight and water run ming over the horses back for short time. To save himself Robinson made Ia flying jump. The horse managed to plunge out of the hole, receiving some injury to it's legs. The wagon was damaged. Dr. Wilson telephoned to P Cummings, who shut the water off. The undermining Of the road made big hole in the ground. The cause of the accident was a leak in the new water main. there being a crack nearly half the length of the main. MT. Rob- inson said he lost about 150 quarts of milk. The J. H. Mccormick company was at work Saturday and yesterday repairing the break, and to-day the pipes will be in order again.
