 There were a goodly number from this place who attended the auto races at the Branford Driving park Saturday afternoon. The Branford cars carried down a large number of people, ano during the early part of the afternoon large number of autos, motor cycles and bicycles went through on the trip east. The favorite route was East Chapel street and through East Haven, and these vehicles were strung out in a long procession. They made very good time on the outward journey, but it was on the return that all speed sched- ules were fractured. The high-speed rates were kept up through East Chap ! el street and well into the city. It was an interesting sight to watch the re- turning procession. There were many motor cycles in the bunch, some of them towing bicycles. Nearly all the Fair Haven autos and motor cycles were at the park.

If the steamer should draw too much water to come up to tie Adamant company's dock it will be necessary for the ship to an chor down the harbor until she can be frightened Heretofore these cargoes of plaster have come here in three-masted schooners.
