 Redding March 24.-The election by the Putnam Park commission last Thursday of George Rockwell of Ridgefeld to be park superintendent means that the effort to oust Thomas Delaney from the position of caretaker, position he has held almost from the time the park was esta ablished, has met with failure. Of the seven mem bers of the commission all attended Thursdays meeting except Charles w. Pickett of New Haven. Some years ago the commission abolished the of fee of superintendent, placing the management in the hands of an eXecu- tive committee. As w. H. Hill was a resident member. the chief direction of affairs naturally fell to him and hence the common impression that he was the superintendent. Last fall the bylaws were amended so as to re- create the latter office but the posi- tion remained thrilled until last week, owing partly to differences in the board as to the retention of MT. De- fancy, the matter of the caretal<er's intendent. One of the considerations leading to the choice of MT. Rock well was the fact that he favored the re-engagement of the present care taker who has been a hold over since last fall.
 MT. Rockwell visited the park on Monday and Tuesday and one of his e~~+ oF7cial acts was to reappoint De- fancy for another year. The latter's Opponents on the. commission were w. H. Burr of Westport and Charles CT, the landscape architect of Hart ford, made an exhaustive report last fall upon the conditions at the park he expressed the opinion, in substance, that the present caretaker had reach ed the limit of his usefulness in that position Those members of the com garded this as an unjust aspersion and rejected that paragraph of the re- port while approving all the other rec oTnmenda tions.
 Samuel sl9nford of the Center, who is student in the Scientific depart ment of Yale, went to the Danbury Hospital last week to undergo an op- eration for hernia.

San ford that he will soon be in a condi- tion fit to try for a place on the Var sity team if he is so disposed.
 Work was commenced last week on 8 stone wall which Commodore Lutt- gen is to build from point above his road leading to Dodgintown and thence easterly along this road to it's inter- section with the new road that skirts the artificial lake recently created in the valley east of the hill. The fence will be of the same ma ssive and finish ed type as the wall fronting the STOunOS or LlnLd, Wn1Cn IS the name he has applied to his summer home here.
 The two ducks were flying so invit- ingly low that the Easton man whose premises they were crossing felt that it would be a sinful waste of oppor- tunity not to try for them with his shot gun. He b1azed away and one goose fell. A second shot appeared to wing the other, but it got away. Then the joyous sportsman phoned to a Bridgeport friend to hasten up for a wild goose dinner. The friend ac- ceDted and with the other guests warmly praised the central dish of the feast. All said that the fowl had a delightfully."- gamey flavor with none of the strong, fshy taste supposed to belong to the wild goose. And why should it have these latter qualities when, as subsequently, learned, it was a sure enough domestic goose. belong ing to one of the hosts neighbors
