| John Bartle spent part of last week in New York. Walter Roth joined him Saturday and they returned together Monday. Roth relates that they started for trip on the subway, but got into the Hudson river tube by mistake, and had crossed over to Jersey and back to the starting point before they discovered they hadn't gone anywhere.
 But getting lost in big city is less | terrifying experience than getting lost in ones own ba1liwick, or on ones own fsrm. Which naturally leads up to the experience of a party of coon hunters on the Dean farm on "the Barracks" last Saturday night. It appears that George H. Dean, Ray" Dean and Nelson i Dean had invited party of friends composed of "Dick'' Barnum and his son, John, of Lime Rock; Bill" Caul, Emil Heinz. Miles A. Hanchett, of Orange. N. J., and others, to coon hunt on the Dean domain, Saturday night, and-to make long story short, the whole crowd got lost in 8 swampy spot, near spring. Every effort to find way out resulted only in re- turn to the same spot. Finally it was determined to wait till daylight, and campfire was built, around which the marooned NImrods huddled for warmth until 4.30 Sunday morning, when the fog lifted and the approaching dawn re- vealed the farm buildings only few rods distant, which they might have reached in five minutes if they had not lost all sense of direction.
