DAY LONG STORM
Rain Falls Over Two and a Half
Inches in Twenty four
Hours.
DROP IN THE TEMPERATURE
Closed Cars Brought Out for First
Time This Summcr-Complaints
Of Service.

As a premonition of autumn a cold
rain struck New Haven early yester-
day morning and continued for over
twenty-four hours, a raging rain the
first twelve and gentle drizzle the re-
mainder of the time. During the per-
iod over two and half inches of rain
fell
While they were very glad to have
the rain. the farers in the vicinity of
New Haven were greatly worried by
the sudden temperature drop. The
thermometer for part of the day reg
istered as low as SO degrees, by far
the lowest mark reached this sum-
mer.
Complaints of open cars on the troll
ley lines were heard during the day,
but the Connecticut company did its
utmost under the circumstances. At Q
o'clock report was secured from
Forecaster j., M. Tarr saying that the
rain would continue all day. Closed
cars were then taken from the barns
as fast as they could be made ready
and were put on the suburban lines.
The closed cars had not been used
since Memorial day, and so were not
in condition to be Immediately
brought out. 1t was rather late before
closed cars were running on all the
suburban lines, and at that time the
number Of the different kinds Of cars
was equal
Aside from the good the rain did
the crops, 1t was also very beneficial
to the streets around the center Of the
city where wooden block pavements
have recently been laid. The earth
covering was washed off and the
blocks well soaked.
The forecast for to-day promises
fair weather, but there will be no rise
in temperature until tomorrow.

 The great charm of Paul Gilmore's new play. "The Boys of Company B." Is due to the youthfulness of the personages in the story. Tony Allen, Mir Gilmore's character. Is a young man of 24; his sweetheart, Eileen MacLane, Is 20;. Jim Mac Lane, her brother, is but year older. and Babe Carruthers. the foot ball athlete, Arthur Stabler, the millionaire, George Bright. the beauty of the regiment are all about Tony's age. Madge Blake. Eileen's pretty cousin, and Florence Tender son, her friend, are both under 21 and the entire Company B is com posed of young men in their early twenties. The older set of people, Major MacLane, Mrs MacLane (Eil- een's mother), c. Holbrook Allen (Tony's uncle) and Henry Stabler l..rthur's father), are put in chief ly as background for the young peo- pie, whose story it is Gallant, in- tense, refined, subtle, humorous, The Boys of Company B" attracts because of this well spring of youth that bubbles over on every occasion. It Is the old immortal story of youth and beauty. The lovers must suf- fer, for suffering intensifies the joys of fruition. But 1t Is known that happy they are to be and trials, doubts, misgivings, heart aches these are but stepping stones to the joys of the hour that comes to all faithful lovers. This Is no problem play of blase men and women or European entaglements, nor the drama of company of psychologi. cal freaks, but clean, healthy story of American young men and young women, who are enjoying to the full the pain as well as the pleasure of youth!

EAGLES PANORAMA OF FAIRS Let All Who Read Digest Well The
 Things That Are Told Them.

You have heard of the old fable of Aladdin and the lamp and the good fortune that followed it's possession, but you will have to listen to some thing now that Is now fable nor myth, but a reality. This Is no dream either. for many no doubt have en- loved for a few seconds the thought that they were possessors of much wealth, only to be robbed of those possessions, as the bright sun streamed in. through their bedroom windows and called on them to awake and beat 1t for the factory. The Eagles are the Aladdins in this romance, but theey are the real thing not a fable. You or your family, or your friends, or your wife's family, or your mother-in-law or your best girl or best fellow, or most any one in the city, or out of it can join the procession, if they are so inclined. The Eagles have the goods and they are ready to be held up and deliver. They are yours for the asking and that should be sufficient on that point.
 Now as to the piano. If you do not already own one, or if you want a better one, here is your chance. It must be a lady however, who will get this gift. Any lady can get into the race and you may be as lucky as the next one. It will be fair, open and above board and if you have sweet heart and you don't enter her name, she ought to shake you. But get busy for the fair is coming on Eagles wings and soon will be here. Elab- crate vaudeville entertainment, and panorama of panoramas and pa- geant unsurpassed in fairs.

IN A YOKOHAMA THEaTER.

Before leaving Yokohama, I went to the theater which certainly was unlike anything I had ever seen be- fore. We sat on the floor of our so-called box, and had tea like the crowd. And such a crowdt It was an endless source of interest and amusement to watch them, whole families -mothers-in-law and daugh- ters-in-law, children of all ages, and parents of different generations, fathers, sons, and grandsons. All had their dinners with them Little trays were produced-tiny boxes full of rice, bowls containing weird food stuffs, pink, white and green: sea- weed on rice cakes: raw fish and nameless yellow condiments; tea in microscopic cups, of course. with no milk or sugar. The Japanese can not understand Europeans putting milk in their tea. as, according to them, it has a strong smell. The children were dressed and undressed during the entr actes, and people smoked, slept, ate, talked and fam ned themselves.
 It was certainly great contrast to see a little ''musme" such as Pierre Lott decribes. daintly dressed in the gayest of kimonos and smartest Of obis, sitting between a coolie wearing nothing but a loose cotton jacket and old hag nursing baby. AL though 1t was true that most of the men had little on, and the thermo- meter was S5 degrees. the atmos- phere was not impossible, as I am sure would have been the case in a European theater under similar circunistances.

IRISH CARNIVAL.

The old fashioned Irish carnival and exhibition, which the members oi St Joseph's T. A. society have been arranging the past few months. will open this evening in City hall. It will continue for one week, coming to close on next Saturday night
 Although much has been written about this carnival and exhibit which is the property of the Irish Exhibit Go, one will not get an idea of what 1t really is until he enters the hall On either side of the hall will be booths of an elaborate design depicting the grandeur of Ireland and historical points of interest in the land from which so many of the residents of this city came. A stage entertainment will be given every evening. while there will be plenty of dancing with one of the city's best orchestras. Moreover, there will be no canvassers, which in itself will draw many people to the hall who have been accustomed to stay away from fairs because of the army of canvassers usually encountered.
 The entertainment for tonight will be furnished by the Cronin-Good- ing Co. local boys, who are making their debut as professionals. They have an aerial act which is said to be a "corker" from the word go. As an added attraction on Monday night will be the Mysterious Kilbys, whose act is similar to that given by Brind- amour at the Jacques last season. will perform. Owing to the fact that the variety season has not yet opened and the vaudeville enthusiasts are eager for acts of this kind. the enter tainment. this evening should seem doubiy attractive. The. T.
