eSterQay afternoon those interested in the new Fairfield Athletic Club were at work measuring off baseball ground on that portion of the village green, which lies east of St. PauPS church and south of the town house. The ground now occupies the place where water once formed a pond, and is in the immediate neighbOrhood of the old. Sun Inn, the summer residence of Mrs. Manuel of New York. It is very conveniently situated for, athletic sports, and will doubtless be used until the lot in the rear of the Congrega- tienal church can be rented.
 There was some interest manifested in town on Monday about Il o'clock a. m. when an automobile drove up to Dr. Donaldson's office from the south and a. man was carried into the house. Rumor said someone had been badly hurt, but it was soon discovered that one of the motormen who lives in Westport while running his trolley to Fairfield, had been taken with a faint ing spell north of Southport. A pass ing auto brought the sick man to the doctor. He was soon revived and the case was pronounced not serious.

 It is refreshing to note. that some people who purvey news now admit that there is a likelihood of the town being able to get electric lights, fi it wishes to do so, since the poles have been placed by the roadside ready to be set in position. The time for ac- ton has arrived and there is little need for any kind of society to talk over the matter. IT there are any blue noses in town they have failed to ob- ief.f f1lr the introduction of elecfrfcity.
