as much?
The time for universal Thanks

GREAT WEEK AT WHITE CITY

Romano Sisters in Fine Dancing Act-The New
 Scenic Railway.

The scenic railway at the White City is by far the best and especially the safest in the country. While it may not be quite as large as some of those at Coney Island, 1t is certainly far ahead of them in it's new scenic beau ties and in its absolute safety. With the new appliances installed this sea- son, there is not single inch on all the railway where the cars are not under perfect control, either going up |or coming down. new and sensation al feature is the Abyss Dip" tunnel through which the cars shoot at the rate of one hundred miles an hour. One of the most remarkable features 'of the opening of the White City Is the evident rccrudescence of the for mer great popularity of the scenic rail- way as d safe yet thoroughly exciting and nVigoratlng outdoor amusement.
 For an opening free outdoor vaude- vile attraction Manager Speck could not have secured more pleasing and sensational performance than that of the five Romano sisters, who appear in Ia series of unique, bewitching and at the sanio time courageous dances. The hit they have made has been so pro Inounced that large number of people have seen every performance and some declare they will not miss one the whole week.
 The Filipino mdgets and the camera phone with Vesta victoris as the star, are among others of the leading hits this week.
 The fine silverware and gold watch presents which Manager Speck will give away Saturday evening are attracting immense interest. The total value of these presents Is $2O0, and the fortunate ones to receive them may we'll be en- vied. To get them each patron receives free at the gate coupon which enti- ties them to share in the opportunity Iof getting the presents. Get coupon Ievery time you enter the gate,

A NOTED OLD TAVERN.
Doors of the Clark Hotel Have Been
 Closed Forever.


 Once one of the most noted taverns in Connecticut, but now with It's last guest long since departed. it's shutters closed, it's hospitahe fires but ashes and its title passed from the family in whose name it stood for long past the span of human life, the old Clark hotel at Ashford, in one of the most heauti- ful sections of the state, is falling to pieces. Its day is over; it's doors have been closed forever Partly disman- tied it stands overlooking prospect of rare loveliness, a mute reminder of the old stage coach days when its yard resounded to the crack of the whips of the drivers along "The Old Connecti- cut Path" and the change of horses at a posting station.
 The hotel took it's name from Dyer Clark, who came to Ashford from Hartford in 1894 and leased the inn from Dr. Nehemiah Howe. then pro- prietor. Eight years later Clark pur- chased 1t and the property stood in the name of Clark until 1897, when It was sold to Henry r. Hall, wealthy attorney living in Walllngford, Conn, whose intention of building commodi- ous home for summer boarders, was frustrated by illness. Since then it has been falling to pieces: Now the roof is sagged in and the building is becoming prey to the elements.
 The old tavern stands on the Boston and Hartford turnpike, tho direct route t1n 1 for merly much travelled It was a noted stopping place for stages, Washington spent Sunday there during one of his tours of New England and attended the village church, sitting in the deacon's pew. The Clark family treasures to this day a pane of glass from a window of the old tavern, glass bearing the name of Washington, written with a dia- mond. The story is that Washington himself, in a moment of relaxation, wrote his autograph with his diamond ring
 The Clark tavern was a post station for stages. This change of horses gave the passengers opportunity to stop off for few minutes and for this reason, and because of it's hospitality, it became one of the best known tav- erns in the state, One of he old drivers was John W. Richards, who carried the mails for 60 years, beginning when he was only 12 years old. Richards drove the night mail and in later years was owner of the Danleson and Put nam line of stages, with headquarters at the old Exchange hotel in Provi- dence on the site of the present Han ley building, on Washington street.
 The fame of the hotel produced 8 spirited demand for relics from it when it finally closed it's doors, Miss Mo Clellan, a relative of General McClel- Ian, and a resident of Woodstock, Conn.,, bought an iron frame for me- mento and the mantel in the parlor in which Washington stopped.
