POLICE MUST EXPLAIN.
Frequent Arrests of Transfers Retards
Municipal Building Work.

According to reports made to the Com
missioners the work on the foundation of
the new municipal building is being serious
ly interfered with on account of the arrest
of Transfers hauling dirt along the streets
from the excavations for the building, and
the police department has been called upon
by Commissioner West for an explanation
and report of the matter.
Capt. Chester Harding esterday received
letter from the contractor for the founda-
tons to the effect that last Tuesday morn
ing the work was seriously interrupted by
the arrest of several of the teamsters The
contractor said that for awhile during that
day operations were suspended for the rea-
son that the teamsters were afraid to go
upon the street with dirt in their wagons.
The contractor stated that he has en-
ployed three men to, do nothing but clean
the streets through which the dirt wagons
pass, so that the droppings from the Wag-
ons VIII not cause grounds for complaint
captain Harding. supervisor of the con-
Struct1on of the new municipal building in
reporting relative to this matter, states that
he walked over the route of the dirt wagons
Tuesday afternoon, q the day the arrests
We're made, and that he found no indica-
TONS OF carelesSness on the part of the
contractor or his teamsters.
Three men in the employ of the con-
tractor says Captain Harding, 'were
sweeping the streets along the route of the
wagons, which pass from the site of the
building west on d to 18th street south on
10Th to b street and west on b street to the
dump. There was at the time of nv in
spection absolutely no evidence of droo-
pings on d or 10Th streets and on street
there was very little street is used by
several other contractors as a route to the
dump.
while the contractor for the District
building work should, of course be held TO
a compliance with the regulations 1 would
request that no arrests of his transfers be
made for such small droppings of earth as
must have occurred in this case, and which
are inevitable if earth is to be hauled over
the streets al all; especially as this con-
tractor prevents an accumulation of dirt by
constant sweeping of the Streets
The authorities are DESTROYS that the work
on the District building be not delayed I'M
necessarily. 1t is stated that the con-
tractor, within a week, proposes to place
an extra night shift of workmen- on the
construction of the founda lions and every
thing is being done in order to complete
the work by the first of the year A small
shift of men has been working at night on
the excavations since the work started, and
as soon as the piles for the foundation ar
rive early next week the night force will
be increased
The contractor has just installed on the
work an immense new Campbell concrete
mixing machine similar to the one now
used in the construction of the War Col
lege on the Arsenal grounds. This mixer
at the District building, it is stated is the
second one of the kind to be used in the
District.

AMONG THE BIG BETTORS.

John A. Drake did not thoroughly enjoy

Accordingly Maddens commissioner hur-

been in doubt as to what horse to play
took the Madden tip and ordered his agent
to bet $500 on the Rapallo colt. Just as
the agent was about to leave for the ring
Drake came along.
Il am putting a bet on your colt, Mr..
Drake, said McGinnis, with a smile.
Don't do It," was the quick rejoinder.
Il do not think he has a chance and have
sent large wager In on Lady Uncas, who

A SUCCESSFUL CLAM BAKE.
A NOTABLE SOCIAL FUNCTION.

The Sandy Hook Banquet Club held
 genuine Rhode Island clam bake at
 Cold Spring on last Thursday. This
 club has become noted for it's fine
 spreads and the good times enjoyed
 together by its members. The start
 was made from Sandy Hook in hand somely decorated wagon, about 10 ..
 m., under the guidance of that skillful
 whip, John w. Dayton, whose makeup for the occasion attracted great atten-
 tion. Prof Talmans' orchestra of
 Danbury accompanied the party and
 rendered delicious strains of music en-
 route. It might be we'll to mention
 here that the committee are thinking seriously of requesting the selectmen
 to have the trees along our public
 thoroughfares trimmed to 8 greater
 height, as most of the decorations on
 the wagon were torn from their fasten- inRs by overhanging branches. Upon reaching their destination the first in order was an inspection of the grounds.
 The bake was prepared on land of Fl. 0. Fairchild near the famous ''cold spring, !" which is said to be the coldest spring water in Connecticut, having a temperature of about 40 degrees Fah- renheit. Edward Taylor informed the writer that in his boyhood, people travelled long distances to see this spring and drink it's waters. He also stated that the postof11ce now called
 Botsford was known only as Cold Spring. After partaking freely of the sparkling cold water the members de- cided that ball game would be about right, in order to restore their bodies to normal temperature. It was agreed to have the fat men play the thin men. Dr Kiernan was appointed captain of the former and Dr Schuyler of the latter. George Tugnot was selected for the difficult post of umpire. The batteries for the fat men were Dayton and Egan, while the thin men selected Mccarthy and Honan. The features of the game were a home run by Dr Kiernan, who measured McCarthy'S curves and landed the ball out in the tall grass, making a complete circuit of the diamond and helping his side greatly to win. A pretty case of base stealing was that of Boysvert, who ran from third base to the home dish with the ball in his pocket. Umpire Tug not was called upon for a decision but, having never seen precedent, was what to do in the matter. He finally allowed the run to count. The case will probably be laid before l the league magnates for final decision next winter. Schuyler, who has a good 1 reputation for handling the ash, was caught mapping by the willy Dayton in | the last inning. He having reached l first on a safe hit was gauging the dis tance to second, when in an unexpect- ed moment he took his foot off of the
The Newtown bee., 1904-08-05

bag, and was instantly thrown out by Dayton. When the game was called the score stood to in favor of the fat men. Headed by the band the players and spectators marched back to the bake, where the Danbury chef, who is an expert in his line, announced that the feast would soon be ready. Tables had been arranged to accom- modate 40 and soon all were seated, ready for the 'good things prepared. The menu consisted of clans, sea bass, Holsters, white and sweet potatoes, chicken, sweet corn, cucumbers, pick les, catsup, white and brown bread, water melons, cigars. All those pres ent pronounced it to be the best bake they ever attended. Great credit is due Chef Brooks of Danbury for the appetizfng manner in which he pre- pared the dishes. Those who attended the bake were: A. Doble of New York, secretary of the Fabric Fire Hose Co.,, B. B. Hamlin of Winsted, c. B. Peale, F. J. Brown, Dr w. H. Kiernan, Dr A. L. Schuyler, William Stevens, s. l.. Frear, Robert Boysvert, J. w. Dayton, J. F. Blake, John Beers, A. H. Hawley, M. J. Kilbride, s. H. Lesher, L. T. Briscoe, P. F. Grove, J. A. James, M. A. Corbett, 0.

Keating, H. 0. Fairchild, E. s. San. ford, John Gilbert, William Honan, k. J. Botsford, Thomas Grove, John Hubbell, H. c. Flansburg. A telegram was received by MT Boysvert from a former college chum, w. A. Cortelyou, a leading lawyer of Philadelphia, Pa. Mir Cortelyou is 8 cousin of the present Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and came as far as Bridgeport but was too late to catch the 9.50 train for New. town. He was obliged to telegraph his regrets at not being able to be present at the bake. A prominent Sandy Hook man who found 1t impos. sible to be present, sent the following lines:
 Here's to the man that set up thi, bake,
 That 30 pleases the palate of all early and late.
 May his strength never weaken nor hi. cunning grow less,
 For I'm sure all who taste it will pro nOunce it the best.
 Three cheers for the baker and com mittee the same,
 There's nothing ever beat it in ole NewtOwn's . fame.
 Now this is the first, but I trust no, the last;
 Let's Hip, Hip, Hurrah, and ther homeward pass.
