EVENTS AT ATHLETIC CLUB.
Main Attraction Was a DisaPpointnnent
 Because of Poor Showing by Sharkey.

A fair crowd witnessed the comedy stunts pulled off in the Windham Ath- ietic clubs rooms Wednesday evening and apparently got it's moneys worth. The card comprised three events, a three round boxing preliminary be- tween Young McQuillan and Kid Will Hams which was very fast and inter esting; wrestling match betWee Young Lewis and John Heidren that went thirty minutes without either ob- taining a fall, and the main event. a six round go between Frank Mclean of this city and Young Sharkey of Providence. Mclean had it on the vis- itor in many ways and the crowd was somewhat disappointed at the poor showing Sharkey made. He had been heralded as a good man with the mitt but fle was by no means as scientific as the local boy. He lacked the con dition to go the limit in proper shape. Harry Denman refereed the first pre- liminary and Shaun the second and main bout. L. N. Dondero was time keeper.

SEWER CONTINUATION
Authorized at Special Borough Meeting Warden Burgess Defines Obiga- tions in Regard to CessPooIs.

The construction of sewers in Fur mace street and in Water street from a point opposite the old borough build ing to Union street and through that street to the sewer in Main street was authorized at the special borough meeting held in the town hall Wednes- day evening. The approximate length of these new lines is 1.200 feet, about 500 of which is in Furnace street.
 Tho vote as passed authorized the sewer committee of the court of bur gesses to let the contract for the work
 There were only about two score pres ent at the meeting, at which Warden w. l. Bullard presided, and which was in session about fifteen minutes.
 After reading a letter of inquiry ! from a resident of Broad street as to whether a'butters on streets where sew CTS have been or are to be built by themselves are liable to prosecution disposal of sewage from their proper ties. Warden BuIlard said that making such connections was not compulsory. He explained that the resolution apply ing to the matter offered and adopted at the annual borough meeting was not intended for arbitrary. use and was simply provided as an instrument for the use of the health officer to compel unwilling abutter to make a con nection when nuisance had been ere ated by the abutter's failure to do so. In other words. the borough officials permit the liberal interpretation of the resolution that cesspool in good or der and in no way q nuisance may continue to be used by abutters in preference to the public sewer.

THURSDAY HALF HOLIDAY
Wanted by Clerks Association-No
 Definite Plans for Annual Outing.

l The Willimantic Clerks Protective | association at its last meeting, which was unusually well attended, discussed the project of trying to get the mer- and close Thursday afternoons during July and August. There are 200 or l more male clerks along the street and | most of them are very enthusiastic baseball fans and have no opportunity under existing conditions to witness the national sport.
 The sentiment of the meeting was that all the members ascertain in a general way what their employers thought of tine idea of a half holiday for the months mentioned and at the next meeting of the association appoint committee and go around with a paper and get all to sign for the half holiday, if possible
 The question of the annual excursion was brought up, but as the rates sub mitted by the New Haven road were prohibitive the association took no definite action and will endeavor to make other arrangements. They say that they will have their annual out ing, anyway, but they don't propose to buy any trains. The rate is tpra ctically double what the railroad people quoted three years ago.
