NEWT0WN BALE TEAM. RE-OR.
 GANfZED K

The Newtown ball team has been re- organized and will put one of the fast est teams into the field this year that has ever represented this town. They will open the season with the strong Criterion club team of Bridgeport at 5 p. m., July 4. The game will be played on the rye lot near the lower Rubber shop, and as the two teams are evenly matched, good game may be expected. The local manager could not secure grounds near Newtown on ac- count of the grass not being cut on the Fair grounds. After July 4 Newtown will play one game week and will take on nothing but good attractions.
 The Sandy Hook lineup will be as follows: c. Bishop c, Warner p, Haugh 1st b, Osborne 2d b, Rand ss, Costello Sd b, G. Bishop If, Lillis cf, J. Lynch If.

THE WONDERFUL THERMOS BOT
 TILE.

It seems almost impossible for one to believe but this bottle will keep ice cold liquids cold 72 hours without ice and hot liquids hot A hours without heat. The bottle will last life time. Think of starting the day in an auto with Thermos bottle of ice cold wa ter, soda or other liquid and any time during the day have as cold drink as though it came from an ice box, with out leaving your seat. Think of get ting up in the night and having warm drink ready without having to heat milk for the baby. Yet the Thermos bottle not only makes these things pos sible but many more. It is not an in- vention good for one use only it is something which can be kept in use continually for new uses which suggest themselves every day. It is good for family use, nursery use, outing use and a man can find use it from birth to old age, no matter how varied a life he leads. Just call and see them. Reid & Todd, Jewellers, 1054 Main street, Bridgeport.

MEN'S CLUB LADIES' NIGHT. A DELIGHTFUL LOCAL EVENT.

The annual ladies' night entertain ment of the Mems club was held on Tuesday night, at the Beach Mem orial Library building and proved to be one of the pleasantest events of the year. The interior of the library had been prettily decorated with yellow daisies, which with the green foliage made a pretty effect. In the fire place were two large bouquets of yellow lilies and ferns. The entertainer of the evening was "Al" Baker of New York, who presented the best program of sleight of hand work and ventriloquism ever enjoyed in town. The amusing and mystifying tricks he performed won hearty applause. At the close of the program cake and ice cream were served. The committee deserving cred it for the happy success of the evening were Rev J. H. George, H. N. Tie mann and Arthur J. Smith.

The credit of harvesting the heaviest hay crop per acre in town belongs to our genial neigbbor, Borough Clerk Charles F. Beardsley. The winrows were so thick in the field one could scarcely find room to stand between them. We doubt if there is a finer piece of grass in the state. MT Boards ley applied nitrate of soda in addition to stable mnaure. What is that old saying about the man who causes two blades of corn too grow where one grew before becoming public benefactor? MT Beardsley should not be unduly puffed up, but he has got rattling good yield of grass.

After conducting the produce com mission business for more than 2( years in Bridgeport. under the name of Buck & Darling, they have determined to retire. Their foreman, James P. Coles, who has been with them over Il years, and to whose ability they are in- debted for much of their success, is to succeed them. He has associated with him Louis Bernstein who has had prac- tical experience both in the grocery and produce business. The firm name is to be Coles & Company. Buck & Darling heartily recommend them as worthy successors. More than Il years of intimate acquaintance with both of them makes it a pleasure for Buck & Darling to state that they have implic- it confidence in their honesty and abil- ity, and they also know from an inti- mate knowledge of their affairs that they possess at a conservative valua- tion'over and above all indebtedness not less than s1S,0OO, mostly in real estate.
