New Orleans. Aug. 3.-The yellow
fever report up to p. m. is as follows:
New cases 54; total cases to date, 43
deaths, 5; total deaths to date, "a;
new sub-foci, u; total sub-foci to
date, IS.
This was the largest number of cases
reported in a single day and while it
was natural to expect in consequence
an increase in the number of new foci
or sub-foci as they are officially called,
the number of the latter is really small
in comparison. This is the period for
secondary infection to appear among
those who were exposed to the origin
al cases and it is not surprising that
the infection quarter should yield up
such record for one day

 Some up the valley papers have it that Winsted will play Middletown for the amateur basketball championship Of the state. Better go slow, neigh bors, for there is hummer of team right here in old Naugatuck that has its eye on the state championship. and 1t Will take pretty good quintet of basketball players to dispute the Naug. atuck Athletic clubs right to the afore- said championship.
