As soon ,sas the discovery was made someonel ran to the tele- phone and thinking it was on the Fairfield division. called for the fire department. Instead of getting the Fairfield fremen they were connected with the chemical headquarters in Bridgeport. Being ignorant of this fact they told the firemen that there was fire at the Fairfield Aluminium Casting company and help was want ed at once. The Bridgeport Bremen thought that Fairfield was calling on them for help and responded in short time but the fire was, out before their arrival. They claim the trip was made in just four minutes. Coming out Fairfield avenue a motor officer saw the chemical making a speedy trip and gace chase. He followed the car as far as Fairfield and then dis covered that he had lost his revolver somewhere on the road. There was no damage done at the fire.

WiICoxson's Fine Record As Collector Stratford Citizens Would do Well to Retain Him in
 Office

Stratford, Sept. 27.
 To the Editor of Farmer ef s,a
 Sir-In the issue of the Standard, Sept. 25. there appeared an item by the Stratford correspondent setting forth the desirability of having a man for tax collector who runs a store in the center of the town. Does he wish us to understand that the chief qua1ifcation of a tax collector is be- cause he keeps a store? It would seem to me that, what is wanted for this office is a man who can collect, and the proper place for such collec- tion is in his office at the town hall.
 I am sure the people have had no difficulty in finding the present in- cumbent of that office, for the reason that more taxes have been collected this year than ever before, not alone on the list of 1910 but back taxes to a large amount. It is doubtful if Stratford ever had a more efficient, thorough and painstal1ing tax collec- tor than John c. Wilcoxson. If for no other reason than the fact that he has made such splendid record he should be reelected next Monday, Oct. Q s 4

 Stratford, Sept 27-Before the Poo tatuck Yacht Club goes out of com mission on Oct I5, the committee in charge of anBusements will offer some pleasant entertainments. The board of governors will meet this evening when it is expected that Commodore B. H. Beers will appoint the commit tees for the coming year. This year has been the most prosperous Tn the history of the club. There has been more interest on the part of the mem bers and the effort to add to the mem bership has been very successful. Next Saturday the last heat in the motor boat race will be held, and there is considerable rivalry among the boat owners It has been decided to re- main in the present quarters indefin- itely as the management has been as sured that the building will not be sold or devoted to other purposes as long as the club wishes to remain there. This will put to rest the ru- mors that it would be necessary for the club to seek other quarters in the near future or build for itself.

The woman was severely cut and since no am bulance could make it's way through the crowd two policemen had to car- ry her to the station where an ann bulance surgeon of the Reception Hospital dressed her wounds.
 ssWhen the riot of disorder was at it's highest, bands of young roughs edged through the crowd armed with bags of cayenne and snuff. Their best joke was to seize a woman about the waist from behind and rub the sting ing powder into her mouth and nose, UT using the paper ticklers as dis tribiutors for the stuff to douse these into women's faces. Several of the policemen suffered from the assaults of these cayenne and snuff jokers One of them, Joseph Barry, of the strong arm squad, had to have his eyes swabbed out by Dr. Sonnenshein, of the Island hospital.
 Most of the arrests were made because of the depraved insults offer ed to the women who dared to mingle with the crowd Many had their waists torn open and confetti or rice spilled into their bodices. Others

Are you not afraid the beast will claw or bite you" a visitor asked a keeper in the Bronx zoo as the man patted the sleek sides of the cheetah or hunting leopard that rubbed againsts the iron bars of it's cage and purred like house cat
 There is no reason to be afraid of this fellow" said the keeper, we have always been good friends and I know Ahefiis dependable animal. He is different from the other spotted leopards and when once tanned he stays so. Out in India where he came from they use him like a hound to chase deer. He's the quickest thing yon four feet and can get over the ground faster than greyhound A grey hound can outrun many kinds of deer, but has to take the dust of the black buck.
