Asa Wilkes, the fast little PAGER
owned by Col. W. h Hall of willing
ton, has been adding new laurels the
past week In the big handicap stake
race at Readville, Asa was placed on
the 2 90 mark, with about 35 horses
ahead of him. He moved them down
like fall stubble, finishing eighth and
5000 Some of those who
saw the finish think he should have
had sixth place. The talent had
picked him for the winner on his
record, but the owner did not expect
first place under the handicap con-
ditinns. Monday, at Worcester, Asa
won a race, and in an exhibition mile
against the track record went in 2 O84
on a half-mile track. On a parIor
track like Readville the horse can
show O5 clip. 1t is hoped that
Asa will be here for the annual fair,

Charles R. Alling of East Hartford
was up Monday and moved his furni-

pillows and few dishes, but nothing
like an adequate housekeeping outfit.
Mrs. Alling has been living in the
Lathrop house on Grove street, but
Mr.. Alling has not been with her. In
fact, he was not notified when his
wife moved here, and he believes she
to elude him. About a
month ago Mr.. Alling received an in
jury to his head while diving in a
swimming pool, and was obliged to go
to a hospital. When he got out of
the hospital his wife advised him to
go to Savin Rock to recuperate, which
he did. 1t was while he was at the
Rock that Mrs. Alling moved the
goods to this town. Mrs.
Alling was accompanied here by
Luella D. Perry, whom she INTRODUCED
as her sister. Later the two were
joined by another young woman. Mrs.
Alling has entertained various guests
while she has been here, and has been
absent more or less on automobile
trips She went TO Worcester Satur.
