Among the passengers in the trans

this morning, was W. T. Noting, as
sistant director of posts of the Phi
lippines and also secretary of the Phi
lippines Carnival Association. While
Mr. Noting is willing at all times to

to be held in Manila February 2 to 3,
1909 The Carnival held last year was
gigantic success, he states. The
managers of the affair, inexperienced
though they were, managed to give a
show that cost in the neighborhood of
two hundred thousand pesos and came
out about twelve thousand pesos to
the good, much to the surprise of ev-
erybody, themselves included. The
Carnival, though a private corpora

Vice Governor w. Cameron Forbes
who will become governor general OF
the islands when Governor Smith re-

the organization and it is largely due
to his efforts that the affair of last
year was such a success.
This year the Carnival managers are
preparing to do more than they did
last year and firmly establish their
show on a permanent basis. Their
previous success brought to them not
only more enthusiastic workers but
money in large sums, so that the ques-
ton of expense is practically nothing
to them at this time. They are par

ment in the Orient of an Olympiad
that will he held annually hereafter
in Manila and will bring together the
athletes from all sections of the ORR
ent. With this idea in view they have
offered valuable prizes to teams from
China Japan, India, Indo-China, the
Straits Settlements and Australia, and
have included Hawaii in their pro-
gram. They would like to get a full
athletic team from Hawaii if possible,
but failing in that they want above
all things TO secure a baseball team.
A representative of the association has
recently entered into negotiations
with the Wasseda University team in
Toxic to come to Manila for the big
show and play a series of games with
the islands teams.
The Filipinos are baseball mad and
the Carnival Association will do ev-
erything in its power to make the stay
of team from Hawaii pleasant Mr.
Noting says that the expenses of the
team while in Manila will be paid by
the Association and they will be pass
ed to all the shows, balls, ETC., during
their visit. He states also that he
thinks arrangements can be made with
the War Department at Washington
for the transportation of a team from
Hawaii in a government transport sc
that the expenses of the journey, which
is practically the only expense that
could be incurred the Manila people
will not pay, will be slight.
Mr.. Noting sailed this afternoon IL

the matter with the War Department
on his arrival. In the meantime hi
advises the athletes or baseball fans

proposition to communicate with Mr.

 We re-entered the touring carriages, drove through the historic forests on the river bank, swhere battles were fought in ancient times. The fortress and powder magazines in numbers abound. The Exhibit Provincial was fine, especially the horticultural and agricultural departments; also the mineral was the largest l ever saw. The horses are considered the finest in the world. From Halifax we re- turned to Annapolis and on to Digby where we boarded the Prince Rupert where we enjoyed a three hours sail crossing the Bay of Funda to St Johns, New Brunswick. Digby and St Johns are fashionable resorts for people from many cities. We took a carriage to the Queens Square, the center of St Johns city, situated on high point of land overlooking the ocean and harbor. All streets run down to the sea.
 St Johns and Digby are the ideal cities, where fashionable society people throng in summer. Our next trip was homeward bound via Maine and Bos. ton express. We passed through Ban- gor, Portland, and many other smaller cities to Boston, travelling four hun- dred and ifty-two miles in thirteen hours, without change of cars. Again we resumed the return trolley trip from Boston to Springfield, then on to Hartford and Bristol.

SEPTEMBER.
ANGIE M. LUCKE.

September sun lies on the hills And dear September winds are blown Breathing their love in happiest thrills While still we weep the summer gone. We sadly know September came And closed the golden summer gate. The spell is stronger but the same We must not weep while soft wi nds wait.
 September's robes seem draker green While drifting lights their shadow
 throw
 Over the plain and path between, Over the woods where shadows go. Where mosses wait so deep and soft Deepest in green of all the year; For cooling winds are coming oft Telling the tale they love to hear. The zephers still chant summers song As by the shining stream they pass Or softly murmuring wait among The willows tall and high green grass. That whispering bend beside the pool Where waters rising clear and high, Kept all their little world so cool, While summers heated days went by. Oh summer with its leaves so dear Its spell is lingering with us still; September's light so fair and clear Kisses the flowers beside the hill. And now September, softly warm, With mountains wreathed in blue mist haze
 Is waiting while its zephyrs roam, Chanting the song of autumn's uays. And this dear drifting blue haze mist That only comes when Autumn's chain Cleaning with golden sunbeams kissed Lies over the hills and on the plain. And this soft drifting mist so fair Floating from the far woodland hills Casts love and dreamings everywhere | And all the world with gladness fills. The song birds sing mid willows green The echoes chant of love and fame While sunbeams cast their brightest To wreathe September's dear loved
 name.

The principal feature of the day was clambake at which were also served delicacies in the shape of cake and sweet meats with tea, coffee and cocoa as beverages. Among the guests were Mortimer Don, lately of New York City, now a resident of Hawleyville, James w. and Miss Lil- lian Daley, Misses Rychie and Ida Veness, Mir and Mrs George J. Wentsch and family of Southbury and Miss Harriet Griffith. with other friends. Games were played, old time songs were sung, white chest nuts roasted on the smouldering clam fire were much appreciated feature of the social gathering. All report an enjoyable time and hope Mrs Murphy or some other genial resident will soon favor them with more of those friendly meetings of which in these days there seems to be altogeth- CT too few, instead of being a common occurrence as they were in the good days of ye olden time.

Dr Celest A. Benedict, who has re gently returned from a pleasant vaca tion contributes the following account of one of her trips:
 Boarding the trolley car, August A. rom Bridgeport at 2.3O p. m., we so- journed to East Derby, then trans fered to the Waterbury line, passed through the manufacturing villages of the Naugatuck Valley, and followed the Naugatuck river, which was at low ebb from the drouth. Stopping mo- ment near the river banks, a gentle man with basket of homeing pigeons, eleven in number, let the captives out i for an airing. It was fine sight to see them whirl round and round, i keeping together downward to the riv- CT, then upward to the skies, each one wearing metal ring or tag with their number, around its tiny leg.
 | The car then resumed its journey to Plainville. where we changed for Bris- tol, arriving at S.30 p. m., making a six-hour trolley ride. After sojourn- l ing week with a valued cousin at 1 her lovely home on the hillside, over looking the village, with mountains all around and river flowing through its center, making lovely view from the veranda; my sister, Mrs J. R. Mor- gan. and her husband, there joined us. 1 They, with cousin, Margaret c.

Saturday afternoon, Dr Frank J. Gale. the popular physician and member of the High school committee, of Newtown Street, came near being the victim of a fatal accident. Ac- companied by his brother-in-law, George Mcleod, he was returning from Mile Hill. As he approached the railroad crossing near L. c. Ntchol- sons Dr Gale glanced up the track, while Mir Mcleod looked down. The latter was mortified to see the engine almost upon them. With cry of warning to the doctor, the latter ap- piled the whip to the horse, which sprang forward. The engine hit one of the rear wheels of the carriage, splintering it to atoms, but the men were uninjured. The train was brought to stop near the Keating crossing and the engineer, conductor and brakeman came hurrying down to the scene of the accident. The engi- neer insisted that he blew the whistle, but the doctor and his companion, men working in Mir Nicholson's orchard and Miss Prindle who lives near, all say they heard no whistle. The doctor secured an extra wheel from L. C.. Nicholson and took the carriage to the blacksmith shop of c. H. Bassett. Dr Gale has been showered with con- gratulations on the fortunate escape The crossing in question is danger ous one and could be done away with. out large outlay.

CHILDREN MADE MERRY

The kids of the town were a
happy lot yesterday and that
they appreciated the offer Of the
Hot Springs company to use the
pool was shown by the large num-
ber that were in swimming dur
ing the afternoon. While the
weather was rather cool outside
it didn seem to make any diff
ference to them and they enjoyed
themselves to the utmost.
In addition to those in the pool
a large crowd of citizens was
there also and seemed to enjoy
themselves as much by watching
the antics of the younger gener-
alton. One thing noticeable was
the number of people who had
their kodaks with them and as
the day was bright and clear no
doubt lot of fine pictures were
taken. During the afternoon all
Of the boys in the west end of
the pool were given small Amer
lean flags and then had their pie

display in Denver, will remain at
this work until April 1. 1t had
been intended to close the cam
paign with this weeks work, but
Richards is getting such good re-
suits that it was decided to keep
him on until the end of the
month.
One result of his work has been
marked increase in the sale of
bottled Yampah water. An order
slip received today called for a
lot of ten cases, and people in
Denver are beginning to find that
they need not send to foreign
countries for their bottled miner
al waters.
The advertising has also been
directed toward lengthening Of
the bathing season, and ultimate
ly making this known as an all
the-year-round resort, and tn.
number of tickets sold under the
winter rate arrangements proves
that the campaign is having goo,l
effect. and should be followed un

oURAY1TEs SEE WILD GAME

Ouray, Mar. 23.-Herds of
mountain sheep and focks of
wild turkeys, feeding along the
rocky lodges surrounding the city
are among the sights just now be-
ing enjoyed by the people of Ou-
ray, who take special delight in
viewing those attractions from
morning till night. The sheep
put in an appearance the first
day of March and have been COM
ing down nearer, till now they
are almost within the city limits.
Only few days ago herd Of
1S led by big buck whose horns
are estimated to measure eighteen
inches in diameter, was seen
above the Calliope mine and it
was learned today that they are
headed towards the grassy slopes
east of the town. The turkeys
came in from Corbett creek and
are being regularly fed and dill
gently protected by the game
warden, Andy Hodges. Ourayites
are as jealously proud of those
visitors as they are of their great
gold mines.
