TROOP A HOME.
MEN THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
 WEEKS OUTING.

Two Drills Thursday at wOOdbury-
 Marching in the Rain-Dinner at
 Second Lieutenant WOOdruR's to
 Mark Return
 Concluding their weeks unique march through the state, Troop A, c. \. G.. returned to this city about 3:SO o'clock Saturday afternoon. The com pany was well received by all the peo- pie along the way, and the members all enjoyed their weeks work.
 Instead of going to Waterbury on Thursday and pitching camp there Thursday evening it was decided to stay over in WoOdbury Thursday all day. So Thursday two drills were giv- en by the whole company, one in cav airy manoeuvres at 10 o'clock in the morning. the other at 1 o'clock in the afternoon at which time a sham bat tie was to be fought and fancy man. oeuvres had been gone through, but by the time the first part of the drill had been given, a heavy thunderstorm set it which ended things for that day. The rain came down steadily all even ing so instead of gathering around the camp fire the men stayed in their tents out of the wet. Morning broke with the rain still coming down, and the march from Seymour fifteen miles away, was taken up at o'clock every jet down. The rain kept up until noon time when a halt was made at Oxford, where a fire was built. The men dried themselves fairly well in front of the fire, and afterwards fed their horses and partook of a light lunch with steaming hot coffee, which certainly was welcome with signs of satisfaction. After one hour and half's stay the march for Seymour was resumed, which was reached about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The camp was pitched on higher ground here, and as the rain had ceased several hours before the ground was fairly dry. The usual vis- itors from the town watched the tent pitching, the eating and guard patrols, visitors were shown through the com pany street, and entertained at the camp fire by the singing and story tell ing of the privates.
 Saturday morning broke clear, camp was broken at S:3O o'clock. and the homeward march for New Haven was taken up. The days march led through the towns of Ansonia and Derby, and out through the Derby turnpike to this city. At the home of Second Lieuten- ant Woodruff in Orange, a halt was made where an excellent dinner was served to the. company, the lieutenant acting as host. Cheer after cheer was given him, and after the dinner was finished the march to New Haven was again taken up. when they arrived about 3:3O, glad to get home and thor oughIy pleased and satisfied with the trip.

ORANGE FAIR.

The Orange Agricultural society have erected a new covered grand stand, with comfortable seating capacity for about 200O people, which is in readiness for their annual fair Monday Septem- Der 4, and Tuesday September 5.

zuela during the resurrection OF 1901. Mr..

want OF equity were those of Friedrich &
Co.. and the case OF Thomas Massinia. The
former was for 176,eg francs. and that Of
Massinia for 27oSi3 francs The Venezuelan
commissioner had already rejected these
claims and he was supported in his con-
tention by Referee Plamley.
The claim disallowt one Of the largest
presented was that m Antonio Fabani for
9, 500, ,72S francs. Venezuea had declined to
pay any part of the claim. After consid-
ering the arguments Of both governments
in the cases, Mr.. Plumley ruled in favor
OF Venezuela.

sented was $S.2l52l5M the total amount
awarded to five claBEants. S696,2l2
