DIED AT THE HOSPITAL.

James s. Sherwood, a prosperous
 an highly respected resident of Hull's
 Farms district, and one of the best
 known farmers in this locality, died
 at the Bridgeport hospital, Saturday
 morning, as the result of an operation performed upon him at that institution
 last Thursday. The disease which had
 its origin in the vicinity of the bladder,
 has caused Mir Sherwood great suffer- ing for several months and his illness
 or failing health covered period of
 more than two years. During the last
 few weeks his malady assumed
 worse form. A careful examination
 revealed the presence of an intestinal
 cancer, the removal of which was
 deemed imperative by the physicians.
 He was taken to the hospital Wednes-
 day and on Thursday his case was sub-
 mitted to the surgeons. The patient
 seemed to rally from the shock for a
 time but soon lapsed into coma and
 later into complete uconsciousness.
 Before daylight Saturday his family
 were summoned by telephone to the
 bedside as the end was seen to be near.
 Before they reached the hospital, how ever, Mir Sherwood had passed beyond the vale of human suffering. Deceased was rative of Westport, being born in the Coleytown district, April 27, 1858. He was son of the late Charles Sherwood, a well to do farmer of that place, who died about ten years ago. He attended the public schools of Vest port as boy, and later taught for sev- eral years in the district schools both prior to and after his marriage. The greater part of his life, however, was devoted to farming, in which he was successful in amassing a comfortable | fortune. MT Sherwood was at all times pleasant and courteous gentle man. As a neighbor. townsman, hus- band father, and friend the fine in- stincts of the man hid the unobstrusive faults to which all human flesh is heir, | and fond memory will cherish only | those virtues which made his influence felt in the home circle and in the neigh borhood of which he has long been member. Deceased is by four children, Edward Sherwood of St Louis, Mo-. Mrs Thom- IS Adams of Westport, Henry M. Sher- V"od of the United Illuminating Co.,, Bridgeport, and Miss Sadie w. Sher- wood, who resides at her fathers lome. The funeral was held from his ate home Tuesday afternoon at 2 iclock, Rev Carlton Strayer of the ireen's Farms Congregational church 'eing the officiating clergyman. h. erment took place in Coley's ceme- cry Weston.

 set upon the most picturesque stretch
 of shore of Long Island Sound, opens
 the season of 1908 on Saturday, May
 23. Not in five previous seasons com
 bined has so much money been spent
 on new attractions. Not even the ex-
 penditure at Luna Park and Dream
 land, Conay Island, exceeds the amount
 lavisiod in the construction of seDsa-
 tional and exhilerating devices and in
 magnilicent scenic spectacles. This
 expenditure will be over quarter of
 million dollars. including new hotels
 and restaurants and additions. All this
 settles the question as to Savin Rocks
 place in the great outdoor amusement
 world of to-day. All told it stands
 second to none. Every new season wit

The healthfulness of l iSavin Rock as summer resort is Wide- ly known; constantly swept by the { bracing salt breezes of the Sound, it is an ideal spot for all to spend a day. week or month. Its growth in the last five years has been remarkable and perhaps unprecedented in New Eng land. Realizing the great future of { the place, many fortunes have been put into it until now it is great stretch of miles of everything conceivable that goes to make up a mammoth outdoor plain. There is the great White City with its hundreds of att fractions in the chutes, lemon, ca- rousal, Molly-coddle, human roulette, chicken farm, Ia new form of amuse- ment) horse races, and all the lesser attractions that go to make such a place replete in joys. And what is also is the fact that admis- I sion to the Park this season is free. A new S30,00O attracti on is theCanals of Venice, which have been l erected on the site of the famous Old Mill.
