FEWER NEW CORPORATIONS.
June Showed Less Activity in Con-
 necticut.

A summary of corporations formed in Connecticut during tune, as com piled by the Commercial Record, shows a decline from the figure for the corresponding mont. of last year. During the month twenty-five new corporations were organized as compared with thirty for 1907 and twenty-nine for 1905. The volume of capital stock represented by last months flotations was $1,645.0O0 as against s1, ,S75,5 for June of last year and $4,S16,700 for 1906.
 Of last months new interpretations seven, having total capital stock of $230,000, represented manufactur- ing ventures. Revival oi activity in the real estate market is indicated by the fact that during the mOnth SIX real estate corporations, capital ized in the aggregate at $2S5,OOO, were formed. One large mercantile undertaking figures in the list to the extent of $S00,000, while an eXten- sive florist concern added $200,O9O to the total capital stock. A tobacco growing corporation that was started in the course of the month is capital lzed at $50, ,000. Among the miscel- laneous companies organized in June are grain, lumber, hotel, coal aud wood, and amuse ment concerns.

There were twelve entries in the
smudge pot contest. Each owner or
inventor making an entry was re-
quired to set and fire 80 of his pots,
and an acre or thereabouts was al
lotted to each make of pots.
Just al seven O'Clock. nearly every
pot on the ground having been prev
iously filled with either coal or oil.
the coal pots predominating by big
majority, the work OF lighting the
pots began The owner of each make
of pots and his assistants endeavored
to make "A record for saving time in
lighting the pots and as result
some tall sprinting was done on ev-
cry acre of the vast "smudge pot dis
trict," and the short time consumed
on each acre in lighting the fires was
remarkable.
In less than three minutes time
several of the .smudge pot men had
ldeir fifty pots each. lighted and
burning, easily proving that it is no
tedious or hard task to light several
acres of pots in an orchard when a
frost alarm is sounded.
A few minutes after seven o'clock,
the scene was marvellous in its beau
ty From each and every one of the
six hundred and more pots scattered
over the big tract of land blazes shot
up into the air and rich red glows
fingered around each pot.
1t was "A beastly dark night, the
clouds hung low and black and the
wind was biting and sharp but those
hundreds of burning smudge pots
cast n comfortable glow over the
country for long distances in all di-
rections. the sky was lighted up in
an enchanting manner. The. light
of the smudge pots could be seen
from all sections of the city and from
distant points in the valley.

ther conditions were not such as TO
make an impartial test last night.
However, the burning facilities of
each grade of pots. the amount of
fuel used and the length of time
that each coal filling would last.
were ascertained pretty accurately.
There is no question but what ev-
cry make of pots shown last night
has its good qualities, its advantages.
All appear to be good generators and
dispensers of heat. it would appear
to the uninitiated onlooker that any
one of the IL kinds of smudge pots
demonstrated last night. would effec-
lively protect an orchard from frost
damage. 1t will be difficult task to
decide which pot is the most effec-
tive, desirable and economical in its
comparative costs.
The big demonstration last night
did much toward arousing the inter-
ests of the growers in this vital and
important matter. The demonstra-
tion was easily one of the biggest
and most important features of fair
week
a majority of the makes of pots
