BULLETINS PRIZE TURKEYS
 FROM TWO TOWNS. Preston and GriswoId Raisers Had the Big Birds-C. F. Meyers Wins for First Time-K. Hoppman Had Close to 30 Pounds.

Turkey raisers have acknowledged that this was an unfavorable season for rearing these prize constituents of the Thanksgiving dinner so that it was hardly surprising That the entries weighed in Tuesday at Somers Bros were not as many as in some former years, but they were top-liners in quality; plump and fat from the feed ing that the expert raisers of New London and Windham counties had given them.
 When hung up outside the market, with their blue ribbons attached, the three that took the prizes offered by The Bulletin were as luscious looking a lot of turkeys as need be seen, prom ising that they will hold a worthy place on the bills of fare at the local institutions to which The Bulletin an nually donates these champions of the f1ocks.
 The first prize of $10 for the largest and fattest young turkey went to c. F. Meyers of Preston Plains, for sleek looking bird that weighed IT 1-2 pounds. This turkey will grace the board at the Rock Nook home.
 MT. Meyers also scored with another turkey, taking second prize of $5 for young turkeys with one that scaled 163- pounds. This one will furnish the Thanksgiving dinner for the fam fly at the Sheltering Arms.
 MT. Meyers has contested for several years for The Bulletins prizes, but this
 is the first time he has won. He gave special attention to his flock and feels well repaid for doing it.
 For the prize of $5 for the largest and fattest turkey over a year old, K Hoppman had one that weighed 29 5-S pounds, and as a reward for such ar achievement the prize Tom will have the privilege of providing the juicy morsels upon which the children al the New London County home wi feast at their Thanksgiving dinner. The Bulletin paid the winners art retail market price of 40 cents pound l for the prize birds in addition to th' cash prizes Somers Bros. bought tht other birds entered and paid 35 cent! | a pound for them, the market price
 In this way the winner of first priz' received se.s5 for his turkey, the win
 ner of second prize s6.55, and the win ner of the third prize $11S5. each witt
 prize money in addition.

AT THE DAVIS.
Madame X.

Before a house that was of ~"''-%y- ing proportions and that sat in rapt attention, sometimes in tears, or oc-' oasionally burst into well deserved ap- plause. Adelaide French and her strong supporting company presented the intensely dramatic play Madame X Tuesday evening at the Davis thea ter From many acquainted with the atrical productions here was heard the comment that no stranger drama with an entirely capable company has ever been given from this stage. For the star there could be only words of praise for the completeness with which her art subjugated her to the part which she was to play, hideous in it's reality at times of the portrayal of what it means to drink the dregs of feminine degradation, but grasping with equal facility the display of the nobler emotions of mother-love.
 For the two climaxes, the court scene in which Maleom Owen makes his plea. for the life of the woman who is in reality his mother, and the final revelation, Mir Owen showed him. self possessed of rare temperament and dramatic power, while in the pretty garden scene, which pleasantly light enAd the sombre impression of the play, there was the instant recognition of applause for the stage picture and the making of Jane Quinn and Owen.
 Frederick Smith and Henry Sharpe
 satisfactorily discharged their roles and Frederick Baldwin was the typical light hearted yet cunning and plotting kadventurer Thomas Blondin and Will ] liam Harris were likewise excellently cast. and Dane Hamlin made a pro- nounced success of the role of the
 slow -witted porter. For all the other roles the selections of the cast were
 equally admirable.
