resulting from bites received from
mad dogs were filed with City Clerk

horse belonging to them was bitten on

had the rabies and as a result thereof
their horse was also afflicted with
that disease. For the which they
claim damages from the city.

George Alling Sons company, The
date named is the same as in the

certificate given for passing them suc-
cessful is of greater value than a Nor
NAL school diploma. 1t is recognized in
all the towns and cities Of the state.

.FOR GERMAN MUSEUM
SKELETON OF DINosAUR GIFT OF
 JACOB scHIFF.
How Morris X. Jesup Made 1t
 Possible for Mir schiff to Honor Frankfort, Ills Native City.

! Germany is soon to receive the only
 all-bone dinosaur which has ever left the United States, and this through the efforts of Jacob H. Schiff, the American banker. and the generosity of Morris K. Jesup, president of the
 American Museum of Natural His
 tory, who learned that MT. Schiff had been requested by the citizens of
 Frankfort. his native town, for rare
 specimen from America. donated and
 had mounted the splendid skeleton
 which is now being perpared for ship
 ment.
 This dinosaur, reconstructed from
 the original bones dug up in Amer lea. will be one of the chief attrac-
 tions of new natural history museum which is soon to be dedicated at
 Frankfort, and which 1t is hoped will be in place at that time. The kaiser
 has been much interested in the new institution. and the presentation of
 the prehistoric skeleton is as much a compliment to him as 1t is to the city of Frankfort.
 { The bones of the gigantic creature that lived so many centuries ago, were dug up in what is known as Bone Cabin quarry. Here about half of the mighty creatures form-hind limbs, ribs and backbone-was found in natural position lying on its side. It required several months of laborious work to chisel and dig out the petri- lfied bone from the rock and clay mat irfx. These were then carefully pro- ltected by layers of plaster, incased in !burlap wrappings. and further strengthened by splints of wood fas- tened with rawhide to insure safety in transportation.
 In life Diplodicus was bulky and comparatively slow-moving creature, which is indicated by the very small brain. He was without armor or any means of defense. When pursued by the fierce. fesh.eating dinosaurs living

GUN CLUBS.
Waterbury Will Have One of the
 Dates This Season.

Delegates representing the clubs be- longing to the Consolidated Gun Club association of Connecticut met at the Hotel Hartford yesterday afternoon from until 5:30 o'clock, made pro vision to put the associations treas- ury into better condition and decided upon a program of events for tine coming season, which will begin at Manchester on June f. Last year the state contests took place at the range of the Colt gun club on Franklin ave nue. There were three of them and at the close four clubs were tied for first place. Hartford, Danbury, Som ersville and Rockville were tied after the last shoot and they divided the money. The Colt gun club led throughout the season, but at the close some members of the team fell down and the championship was lost. h. stead of having all the shoots in Hart ford this summer they will be divided up between the different clubs in the association The state shoots will be as follows
 June 4-Manchester.
 June 14-Rockville.
 June 25-New Haven.
 July 4-Hartford.
 July 20-Danbury.
 July 30-New London.
 August 8-Brlstol.
 August 20-Norwich.
 September 2-New Britain.
 September 13-Willimantic.
 September 24-Waterbury.
 It was decided to have three men on each team and shoot at twenty-five birds. Last season the teams consist ed of five men and they shot at forty birds. There will be eleven shoots for the teams and each member will pay an entrance fee of $1. This will make a pot of $33 for each shoot and 1t will be divided by the first four teams af- ter each shoot
 at the meeting yesterday. The resig- nation of the Winchester Rod and Gun club of New Haven was accept ed This leaves the New Haven Gun club as the only club from that city in the association The New Haven club was not represented at the meet ing, but it will have one of the shoots The Somersville Gun club was not re- presented and there was some doubt as to whether the club intended to re- main ia the organization.
 When the program for last season was decided upon the secretary, Dr Moore, made arrangements to have number of Improvements made at the range of the Colt Gun club in order to accommodate the extra number of men who were to take part in the contests. Additional traps were built, the ground was graded, platform put up and other Improvements were made. The work cost the association much more than 1t was intended to spend and the organization is ill debt in consequence, A plan was agreed upon by which the indebtedness will be wiped out and the association looks forward to successful season.

lat the same time it Is thought he took to the water as the only medium of escape from these enemies. The head was only two feet long, being astonish. ingly small in proportion to the huge body. In life 1t is conjectured he would have stood in height far above the largest elephant. The monster stand. Ing at full length would have occupied the space of three street cars, and when he rose on his hind legs. kanga- iroolike. he was high enough to look into the window of an average three story building or Harlem fiat. The body portion was astonishingiy short. The animal was principally acquatic. though he frequented the land at times. The head was supplied with short. rakelike teeth, which were of no use for cutting or grinding, being adapted only for pulling up and tear ing oil the soft water plants, vegeta- tion. etc. of the lake bottoms, upon which he fed. Half ton or more of this tender foods.uffs could have been retained in It's ponderous stomach at meal. The food was swallowed without mastication. The long, flexible ltapering. 15-tooth head enabled the animal to wade to a considerable depth to forage for food among the soft plants on the bottom. Nature provided the dinasaur with a series of successlonal teeth. Blu this means .a tooth was replaced almost as soon as one was lost.
 |, One of the most remarkable struc- ltural features of the animal was the lwhiplike and powerful tail, 30 feet long -over half the length of the body. This served the creature as a propel- Ter. enabling him to swim very rap idly through the water. also as . weapon of defense on land and A ready means of rapid escape by wa ter when attacked and pursued by the lferce carnivorous dinosaurs of the pc riod. Another peculiar function of this pondercus tail was that 1t acted like lever and balanced and support ed the animal when he assumed an upright position. which he is thought to have done both fin water and on land.
 2 One of the unique features of the specimen is the scheme of slab-mount. ing. This Is a wooden framework with plaster for foundation It is 5s feet long. following the curvature of the spine of the animal. and is 1slk feet high.
