 The chief excitement at Pine Grove the past week was hay ride and picnic to Twin Lakes, which originated in the minds of Mrs. Martwick, and Mrs. Rich ardson. The day was glorious, and 20 happy people of all ages. including the Rev. MT. Wallace, (who lent dignity as well as jollity to the party) tumbled into their places on the hay wagon provided by Mir. Tinker. They sang college songs and occasionally gave the Pine Grove cry, "Who are we? We'll guess. From Pine Grove, Yes! yesll yesl!l" until the beautiful lakes were reached. There bountiful lunch was provided by the ladies. The afternoon was spent in boat ing and other pleasant pastimes. The homeward ride included the circuit of the Grove and a snap shot by one of the amateur photographers.
 Among the new arrivals at Mountain View Inn, are Mrs. R. A. Marvin and Miss Mathilde A. Marvin of Stamford. Conn; James Demarset, Brooklyn, NY. MT. and Mir. G. R. Secor, Mrs. Edward Toncy and daughter, Bridgeport and Miss Nellie G. Fox of New York City. Among the cottagers are Mrs. E. K. Wheeler and son and Mrs. G. c.

PUBLIC OPINION
Protest Against the Reckless Running

Protest Against the Reckless Running
 of Automobiles.
 THE NEWS has received the follow ing letter from Canaan lady protest ing against the reckless running of auto mobiles in Canaan and we dare say her communication fairly reflects the feel ings of the ladies in every village and hamlet where this paper circulates. Editor THE NEws:-
 With relief note that the Selectmen have taken up the matter of riding bi- cycles on the sidewalks. On my desk was letter at time your paper was published protesting against the prac- tice. Also as to use of automobiles in and about this village.
 Who has not been indignant at the way machines are driven through our streets?
 Speed ?-There is no limit 20-30-40- miles an hour, just as it suits them and everyone get out of the way Gf you can) or take the consequences. Corners, cross roads, curves, all the same and often not even "toot" 'toot" or ''honk" "honk." Is it not worth our while to have 8 speed limit and, cost what it may, see that it is enforced?
 If autoists continue their practice, some day there will be a serious acci- dent and on all sides will be heard the remarks 'I told you so, "Just what I knew would happen" five been ex- pecting it," etc. etc. Are we so indif ferent, such lovers of ease we will do nothing until that day comes?
 The time to put a stop to it is NOW and not after the damage is done. An ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure. '"
 We will say for the information of this lady that the Canaan selectmen have had number of signs printed, warning autoists to decrease the Speed of their machines. These have been placed at various points in the village in the hope that they will have the de- sired effect and thus avoid the necessity of resorting to more vigorous methods.
