 The AT Bridgeport policemen who did duty at the aviation meet at Aerodrome park are not making any complaints about their treatment. Sheriff Stagg had a. large force of deputies besides the policemen who were placed where their neat uni- forms could be seen by every one. There was very little for the uniform ed men to do the desired moral eff feet of the large number in uniform was gained and there was little trou- ble. The Stratford deputies relieved the police of the onerous duties of watching the fences and Bridgeport cops had a good time. At least that is the opinion expressed by several of them.
