X mon ster street parade will start the days exercises at Il o'clock.

The parade will be reviewed by Gov. Simeon E. Bald win, Mayor J. NJ. Halloran, the com mon council and the officers of the New Britain Business Mems associa- tion.
 The athletic events at the Berlin trotting park will begin promptly at l o'clock. The sports committee has been in New York for several days and has made arrangements with some of the big athletes and world cham pions. The committee has secured John J. McCue to act as starter and William Rossback as announcer.

were found in an almost hopeless state of dilapidation and were sent to be re- bound. This was our first venture in this line. All previous repairs had been amateur work, but very ably done by Miss Munyan but there comes n time in the life of book when it needs skilled physician. The result of our venture has proved satisfactory, for books too torn and soiled to be read have returned clean and whole in fresh strong buckram binding, all for the sum of 2S cents volume.
 We have to report the mysterious disappearance Of Prince Otto, one of our set of Stevenson. A thorough search has failed to reveal him. One or two magazines have also disappear ed, not however through failure to re- turn when properly charged and stamped.
 Rubber tips have been placed on all the chairs, adding to the quiet which should pervade library. A collection of pictures of our native birds was put up for Bird and Arbor day.

Want Bankruptcy Law Amended

The Connecticut bar wants the bankruptcy law amended so as to pre- vent municipalities taking almost the entire estates of bankrupts. Represen- tative Tilson recently introduced bill recommended by the Connecticut law yers. It provides that only one year's municipal taxes shall be given prefer enee in settling bankrupt estate. MT Tilson says that it has been the prac tice for municipalities to let taxes run along unpaid for years and then claim practically the entire estate of bank rupt. The other creditors are deceived and get little or nothing on thei claims,

Annual Report of the Thompson Library

AL the annual meeting of the Thomp- sontPublic Library association, Miss Harriet R. Lewis, the librarian, made the following interesting report;
 Flight years have passed since the first librerian's report was read in your presence. There was little to report then for our library had only been open six months, but everything was hoped. Today as we look back over the record of those eight years, we find many Of those hopes realized and our library filling an important and as- sured place in the life of the communi- ty.
 The growth has been constant. There were I l,370 volumes on the shelves then, today there are 3,566, | l9e having been added the past year. Of these l20 were received from the state, D purchased with the Day fund, and the others were the gifts of indi-
 viduals, notably the set of John Stod- | dard's lectures A5 voumesl from Mir. | Hascall of Boston Jerome Tourtellotte,
 Mrs. Wieks, Mrs. Williams, Miss
 Granger and Mi Ioslin of Oxford.
 George Pinkham, through stephen 1 Ballard, siguitied his desire 10 place
 500 volumes in the library as memo
 rial 10 his father, Rev. \. ]. Pinkham 1 A package of twenlN-three volumes
 has been received from him. Most ol | tAem ,wete old books and as nearly
 hatt duplicates of those We already

Gates are beng made in PuttS6urg for the Panama Canal which will be the largest gates in the world. Amy one o( the nmely-two of them will be about as high as siN.story building, as wide sixty five feet as many city buildings are, and seven feet thick. The structural steel that witt go 10 make them will weigh sixty thousand tons, or more than eight times as much AS was used to build the Eitiel Tower in Paris. The cost will be S5, 0,000. Of the sixty thousand tons of steel re- quired, the heaviest single piece will weigh about eighteen tons and will be base girders, which are seven feet wide and are to be placed much like the l first floor girders of a skyscraper. The l thousands of other pieces will be ship ped by steamer by way of Baltimore, and over four hundred skilled structu ral steel builders from Pittsburg will set them up. IL will take three years to complete the job. Each lock will be ample for a ship fifty per cent Iarg- CT than any vessel now afioat, and il has been estimated that as many ss a hundred ocean ships may be handled ! in a single day.
