AMATEUR NIGHT TOMORROW

Tonight, E1k's night at the ten nights carnival of the Knights Of Columbus, will be notable for the excellence of the program of entertainment prepared by George T. Mccarthy and his assis- tants on the special committee of Bridgeport Chapter having charge of that branch of the carnival.
 Though the invitation to the EHks was received too late to take formal action upon it, the antlers have sent many assurances to the Knights of Columbus that they will evince a spir- it of lively interest and fraterna1isn by a large turnout tonight. Similar assurances have been received with regard to Eagles night tomorrow, and Sc- Joseph's T. L.. & B. night Friday.

Walsh and William Tom Hnson, tenor soloists and still others, that they would be available for the concert tonight.

'McCarthy's plans for an amateur night tomorrow is greater than was looked for, even when it became ap- parent that the amateurs were going to respond in goodly numbers. MT. Mccarthy said last night that there had been applications made to him by no less than a dozen people who are just crazy to act. He will give them all a chance. Anyone who wants to enter may do so by reporting at the armory at o'clock Thursday evening. There will be a substantial cash prize awarded by a committee of judges who will be guided wholly by the way that the rival acts take with the patrons.

PUBLIC OPINION

Highland Farm Noroton Heights, Ct. 1 October 19, 1910. To the Editor of the Farmer, Sir: May I be. permitted the use Of your columns to make a correction concern l ing the record in Washington of one | of the Congressmen from this state? In a long and detailed statement of | the votes of Senators and Congress men from this state on a variety Of public questions, I find that I convey stance, COngreSSnan EbeneZer J. Hill has kindly drawn my attention to this error and I wish to make 9 correction which will receive as wide publicity as possible.
 In the recent fight on Cannon which occurred in the House there were six different votes taken. The Congress- men from this state voted unanimous Iy in support Of Cannon; first. on the question of his re-election; second, when the insurgents tried to change the rules of the House; third, when committee appointing power of Speak CT Cannon; and Fourth, on March 18th, when Fitzgerald the Tammany Dem ocrat moved a resolution to save Can non.
 But later in the session Congress- man Norris submitted a resolution to increase the rules committee to ten, to eliminate Speaker Cannon from that committee and to allow the commit tee to elect it's own chairman. In gfV- ing he record I speak of all the Con gressmen of this state voting against that resolution with the exception of Congressman Hill and my words were that ""He just didn't vote.' The Con- gressional record, the source of my in formation, registers Congressman Hill as not voting, but Congressman Hill tells me that at that time he was i'll, a thousand or more miles away from Washington.
 I regret very much giving the inn pression that he was in his seat with out voting on such an important ques- ton. However, I am gratif1ed that in a rather extensive report on what our Congressman and Senators have done in Congress, no other error has as yet been called t4 EsT attention.
 Very respectfully yours,
 ROBERT HUNTER.

There is deep regret among the vet
Grams as well as among his constituents
and in Congress at the determination of
Representative Joseph A. Goulden to
not accept a fifth term. The very
strongest pressure has been put upon
him to induce him to reconsider, but
he remains infeXible. He feels that
the time has come for little recrea-
ton, and his mind is set on a trip
around the world. Comrade Goulden
is a man who has filed his life very full
with the best activities. He was born
in Pennsylvania, but served creditably
thru the war in a Maryland regiment
and later took up his residence in New
York City, where he made a great sue
cess in business. He kept in touch with
his comrades, has been an active Grand
Army man and repeatedly urged to be-
come Commander of the Department of
New York, G. A. r. He was Secretary
and a member of the Commission that
erected the Soldiers and Sailors Monu-
ment in Riverside Park. New York, at
cost of 100000. He was elected as
a Democrat to the 5Sth Congress. and
has been regularly reelected ever since
with increasing majorities. At his last
reelection he received a plurality OF
900 votes over his Republican COM
petitor. and had a majority over all the
candidates in the field His retirement
from public life will be a distinct loss
in many ways.
