UNIQUE SPECTACLE BEING PLANNED
 FOR SEA BREEZE Worlds Champions May Com pete by Glare of Thousands of Electric Lights Island Open For Week End Business For Three Weeks Thrown Open to
 Public During Mid
 Week

The closing date for Sea Breeze Is-
 land s1. has "a been fixed at approximately Sept 22 The date was announced by the island management today in connection with an outline for novel and sensational athletic carnival which it is planned to hold within a short time as one of the final events of the current season
 The management's idea is to hold a congress of athletic events by night, taxing the total output of the big power house of Sea Breeze to brilliant ly illun1ine the athletic field, and in glare almost as bright as monday to put on a series of athletic features in which worlds champions will com pete.
 While plans have not yet been by any means completed. the manage
 progressed so far that assurances had been received of the presence of most of the great American athletes who
 won distinction at the recent Olym- piad at Stockholm. These, with ath- letes of prominence who did not ac- company the American delegation to the Olympic games, should excite in terest that will draw attendance from all parts of Connecticut
 Within a few days it is expected that General Manager William L. nounce definitely just what can be done in regard to the monster car nival. He is in New York today, but before leaving the city last even ing he told something of what had been planned. The athletic field will be strung with electric wires from which powerful arc lamps as well as thousands of incandescent bulbs will be strung, that the athletes may have the advantage of light approxima.ting the brilliance of nooday. It is his plan to hold the carnival on a Satur- day evening, and in this way it is expected that many who would be un- able to see the spectacle were it pre- sented during the day will be able to attend.
 F So far as the midweek business at the island is concerned, the manage ment has practically closed the re- sort. The drawbridge will remain closed so that people may visit the is- land daily from a. m. to D. m. No charge for admission will be made. Visitors are as welcome as in any of the public parks.
 Saturdays and Sundays however, the island will be open for business for the next three weeks. Band con certs, baseball games, and other events will be the attractions for the weekend visitors.

POLITICS DERACT FROM
 COMMON COUNCIL MEETING

The meeting of the Common couu- ell last night was decidedly brief be- cause of the city and town conven- tions of the Democrats and the Re- pu blfcans. Several hearings were held and one or two matters of minor i'm portance came up. The hearings brought out cOmpara lively few cffi- zenS to appear in behalf or in Oppo- eition to the petitions for the several proposed public Improvements. The hearing on the reconstruction of a. sewer in Brooks street was perhaps the most important matter before the council. There were several property owners who appeared Tn favor of the petition, stating that they desired the present deplorable conditions remedied.
 Attorney J. J. Phelan represented opposition to the petition of the E1sc- tric Cable Co, to discontinue the build ing line on the east side of Bunnell street. It was represented by the pe- titioners that the street is a dead end and that to abandon the line would do injury, but would enable the company to build new buildings. MT. Phelan said that no waiver from the property owners on the street had been secured and that the matter was not properly before the council. It WaG then referred to the Streets and Side walks committee.
 The other matters before the council were of a routine nature and of It. tie importance.

BEDDING HOLDS
 TOWN CAUCUSES

 Wilson

Bedding, Sept. 4.-Only dozen at- tended the Republican caucus last Friday evening Ihrougn q iatny LILY delegates to the party's senatorlal convention, an omission for Wh1ch b. B. Banks, a member of the town corr 1l- mittee and a former represenltatlve ". 6 and first se1ectman, was mainly re- sponsible. The Republican rules pro- vide for delegates at large to the State convention, each senator1ai ols- trict having two of these, in addition to the delegates chosen by the towns. The explanation of this in the ietter of instructions from the State Gen. tral committee was construed by MT: Banks to mean that the delegates at large were to name the delegates to the senatorial convention and w. H. Hill, chairman of the caucus. accept ed that view of the situation. Albert A. Gorham, B. B. Banks; w. Il. Haz- en and B. M. Sanford were elected delegates to the State convention. to the candidates presented by State Chairman Rohrabach and his as- sociates of the party machine The delegates to the congressional conven- ton are J. M Taylor, L. C. Rumsey, Milo L. Osborn and John Todd. They favor the renominat1on of Congress man Hill.
 At the Democratic caucus on Sat urday evening delegates were chosen as follows: State, Michael Connery. Lester O. Peck, Edward M. Bradley, J. B. Sanford; Congressional, Charles Sanford, Rufus A. Lyon. Nicholas santineilo, John H. Malone; Senator ia1, Robert H. Rider, w. e. Sanford, Walter P. Rowland, T. Marvin Stock ing. At least three of the congress sional delegates favor the nomination Of Lynn W. Wilson. The senatorial delegates will doubtless support L.. O. Peck provided he enters the race and in any event will be against the nomi- nation of Charles Murphy of Dan bury.

Running a newspaper is just like
running a hotel, only different. When
a man goes into a hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel Well, hardly. He sets that
aside and wades into the dishes that
suit him. 1t is different with some
newspaper readers. They find an arti-
Gle occasionally that does not suit them
exactly and, without stopping to think
it may please hundreds of others, make
a grandstand play and tell the editor
how a paper should be run and what
should be put into it, but such people
are becoming fewer every year.
