 The recent spelling contest between the pupils in the several schools in inc Strong district has created con- siderable interest among the pupils and another contest is desired. So far, woolsey school has the lead. If there is to be another contest, it will be be- tween pupils of the grades 6 and E but Principal Graves has not decided in the matter; and as it is so near graduation, possibly there will be no more spelling bees this term. But un- doubtedly they will be resumed in the fall. as Principal Graves is giving much attention to instruction in orthography.

Recently several cars with a total weight of lSO tons was supported on the Tomiinson draw, which was a pretty good test The new route is a much shorter route over the electric road.
 There is a desire among some Of the owners of motor boats to have a race on the river this summer. There are several score of motor boats in Fair Haven and vicinity, and a race could be arranged if all would put their craft into a race. Last year there were sev- eral regattas on the river, but the en- deavors of the committee were unsuc- cessful in securing race for motor boats. John J. Dayton, chairman or the regatta committee, says there was so little interest in the races last sea- son that he cannot give his time in assisting in another regatta. Possibly there will be more interest this sum- mer, so that there can be arranged race for both sail and motor boats.
