RUNAWAY TEAM IN ANsoN1A.

Belonged to New Haven Fruit Dealer
 and Made Things Lively for a Time.
 The team of IA Williams, the New Haven fruit dealer, made things lively on High street, Ansonia, for a few minutes shortly after noon yesterday Williams had hitched his team in front of the West Side market and was talk ing the brides off the horses to feed them when the animals bolted up High street. In front of Fogarty's store the pole of the wagon collided with a post and damned a wagon owned by for eigner. One of the horses freed itself from the wagon and turned down ter sey street, while the other continued on alone with the heavy vehicle along High street. Both of the animals were captured and an inventory taken of the damages. The harness on Williams turnout was quite badly damaged, but the wagon practically escaped injury. The damage to the other team was small, and was settled by the fruit dealer by the payment of $$S.5O.

TO VISIT HARTFORD.

Caledonian Bowlers Will Play Clan
 Gordon Monday Night
 The first of a series of carpet bowl matches between the New Haven Gale donian club and Clan Gordon, No 19, Order of Scottish Clans, will take place at Hartford on Monday night. The teams have met several times during the past two years, and each game has ended in a decided victory for the New Haven team. The Caledonians are, perhaps, the only Scottish team in the country that occupies the proud posi- tion of never having been defeated, and they, therefore, stand the undisputed champions of the game. The Hartford team is said to have greatly improved since the last game and close con test may be looked for The following players will represent the Caledonian team: William Paterson, captain; John Dalgleish Andrew Picken, John Hume, John Menzies, Alexander Will son, Robert Pryqe, John c.

MoMATGUIN,S BIG CARD.
Morris Circus, a Fine Free Feature
 Much Appreciated.

No such free outdoor treat has ever been offered to the frequenters of the beautiful seaside gem-the Momauguin as that which has attracted such large crowds this week. It was hap py thought on the part of Amusement Manager Blake when he decided to put Morris noted dog and pony circus down there for a week. It is the highest kind of an attraction and usually plays only at much larger resorts. The wrestling ponies and the leaping dogs are alone 6 great hit in themselves.
 Only a few more performances and the engagement of Vano, the jail- breaker, and his own star vaudeville company closes. The show through and through is one of the best of the season, and there is hardly a moment where the interest of the audience lags. Vano's act is decidedly the best of it's kind on the road to-day, Tn his work he is as- sisted by his beautiful wife.
 Bending Boucla, the grotesque acro- bat; Marlowe and Plunkett, a clever team of black-face comedians and the Kaufmann sisters, from the Alhambra theater, London, are among some of the features of the show which concludes with a lively and entertaining one-act comedy entitled "A Night in Medical SchoOl"s

They dived and leaped over each other, and at intervals dived to the bottom and brought up stones half as large as a mans head in their mouths They would come to the top with a rush, tossing the cobbles in some cases ten or twelve feet in the air, diving and catching the stones before they reached the bottom and repeating the process.

HEAVY FALL IN PRICE OF BRICK

Has Created a Serious Condition in the
 Building Trade in New York.
 New York, Aug 2,-The price of com- mon brick has declined within the last few weeks from $14 d thousand to $5. Other materials including cement, stone lathe, and window glass have also declined, but not in the same pro- portion The decline in the price of brick is due to the increased demand ot concrete for building purposes as this is found to be cheaper than brick and possesses equal advantages as a struc- tural material has created a serious condition in the building trade, as houses in course of construction nat urally have declined in value with the fall of building materials. For the time being builders find 1t hard to nego- tiate permanent loans on the basis of former appraisals It is feared that a still further decline will follow.
 It is estimated that the depreciation in value of an ordinary six story flat house will amount to about $1O,OOO, Tn the spring plans were filed for about 5000 such buildings, the cost of con- struction of which was estimated at $73SO0,0 ,000
