There were some close contests in the trial races here, and the runners were watched and en- oouraged by lots of people who came out to see. The tests showed some fast sprinters in the local company and if the boys fail to bring back at least honor able mention from Millerton on Labor Day it will be because.

Twelve Thousand City Tots Want a
 Breath of Fresh Air.
 Rev. Walter L. Hughes, representing the New York Tribune Fresh Ar Fund. was in town last week, calling on his friend, Rev. K. 0. Gillette and others. In the interest of that splendid charity It is hoped that some of the poor child rem of the great city may be accom- modated in the homes of people in this part of the state. and that invitations will be extended by those who have room to accommodate two or three oK the little tots, for whom a couple or weeks in the fresh country air may mean a prolonged lease of life. Thomn who may not be able to receive the child ren may help by contributing to thS fund. The manager plans to send 12.- 900 poor little children into the country for couple of weeks, this season. The circular issued by the management says
 "Six thousand of these children can be accommodated at twelve Tribune Fresh Air Homes, among which are two homes for oonvalesoents and one home for preventorium work amoug children from families in which tuberculosis ex- ists. For 5000 other ohildrenit is hoped to obtain inyitations from hosts in tho country who will receive them into their own homes as guests.
 Friends in the city and the country. will you by your hospitality or your money make possible the vacations of the 1a,oo0f It costs little to sntertaina a child for & fortnight. (Railroad fare Is paid by the Fund.) Five dollars will pay the entire cost of one Fresh Air out ing. No contribution is too small, none too large in a good oauae.n - " <

Robbins School Closed.

A Norfolk special to the Hartford Courant, says: Carl Stoeokel announced yesterday that the Robbins School. an institution we'll known in Litohfield county, will not reopen at the beginning of another school year. His seasons for closingi 1t are that 1t has cost the Robbins and Stoeckel families e2oo, 900 or over since 1t was opened and that the num- Der of children now attending other schools in the town or the Gilbert School in Winsted render 1t inadvisable to continue it longer.
 The Robbins School was founded in 1884 by Robbins Batten and his sister. Miss Anna Battell, As a classical and preparatory school, being the first of its kind in the county. Its founding brought to fruition aplan long cherished by Mir. Battell of erecting 8 memorial to his ancestor, Rev. Ammi Ruhamah Robbins. pastor of the church in Norfolk for ffty-three years, upon the site of Key. MT. Robbins home. Rev. Mir. Robbins was in the habit of receiving into his family boys who were fitted for college by his tuition, and upwards of 200 thus prepared under his guidance.
 The buildings of the school were erected in 1884 upon the site of the old Robbins parsonage from plans drawn by J, Cleveland Cady of New York. After the death of Mir. Battell in 1895 the school was sustained by MT, and Mrs. Stoeckel, the latter being a daughter of MT. Battell. In 1894 the tenth ami. versary of the Robbins School was celebrated with appropriate exercises and it has only been within the past few years that the Gilbert School in Winsted has drawn from the town pupils, who otherwise would have filled the Robbins School.

WHITELEY'S HIGH FINANCE
Collected Pay Twice, Then Skipped
 His Job.

HIS OOO.
 Frank Whiteley, employed by Con- tractor E. R. Lorraine, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades Tuesday, for obtaining money under false pretenses. From the evidence it appears that after being paid in full, the sum of $11.25 by MT. Lorraine, for last weeks work, he went to MT. W. A. Miles, of Twin Lakes, for whom he had been working on MT. Lorraine's job, and said he was going to quit, because he could not get his pay. AS the work was pressing. MT. Miles volunteered to pay him what was due, in order that the work might not be de- layed, and gave him s11,15 on the spot. Whiteley then disappeared, having been paid twice, and never reported for work. Investigation and comparison of notes between MT. Lorraine and MT. Miles re- vealed the trick, and warrant was is- sued for Whiteley's arrest. Sheriff Rhoades found his man in East Canaan and put him in the lookup. Yesterday morning he was taken to Salisbury. in which town the offense was committed, and placed on trial before Justice Rudd.
 He pleaded guilty and was bound over in e100 for trial at the October term of the Superior Court. Returning to Ca- naan on the noon train he was replaced in the lookup and an effort made to find a bondsmAn,

Live fin the Onen


 Col. Y. G. Trumbull, in New York Sunday Herald, says:
 I would like to be on this planet 8 hundred years from now instead of be. ing packed away in it's bowels. If pos- terity does not see and understand the lessons of our experience and set to work profting by it, 1t will be 8 lot of idiots. I refuse to think of the people of that day and generation in such disrespectful way.
 We have already gone far enough along with the open air principle to have our attention drawn to the advantages of it.. The case of the open air bedroom, for example. is no longer limited to men, women and children afflicted with tuber. oular disease or with some other disease that can be best tackled in the open. Hundreds of people in Connecticut are sleeping in the open from mere physical delight of it. They find that they sleep better and get more refreshment than they ever got from closed in rooms, even with the window slightly raised.
 Their appetite is better and more nor nal. Their labor is more efficient Their spirits are better. In other words, they are better citizens, and the world is brighter place to be in. It is per fecsly sensible, therefore, to conclude that sooner or later lodging will be con- structed with the open air principle clearly in mind. No one will think of lodging indoors.
 Think what that would mean in the rapidly growing cities of Connecticut, where necessarily the tenement house proposition is more and more claiming the attention of thoughtful people. The present day scheme of solving this question turns on certain sanitary re- quirements which are good in their way, but they do not turn on the advantages on the open air treatment. think am right when say that the mortality among the tenement house population is due more to lily ventilated lodging rooms than to any other one cause. This is especially true of children.
 They breathe in the foul air of their habitations and miss altogether the counteracting force of the outside air. In this connection it is interesting to ob. serve what the experience was last win. ter of the New Haven open air school. It was not public undertaking. It was started by a physician there whose speciality is the diseases of children. It was in 8 way research work. He inter. ested people who subscribed to his fund in all less than thousand dollars and the school was established. The effect upon the health of the children and upon their spirits was remarkable. They waxed in stature, took life more radiantly and learned their lessons with greater interest and facility.

 Popular Bridal Couple
 MT. Samuel G. Camp and his bride returned Saturday from their bridal sojourn at Lake Dunmore, up in Yer mont, and have ever since been receiving the felicitations of their many friends and we'll wishers. Saturday evening they were given an informal reception at the delightful home of the groom's parents, Dr. and Mrs. O. W. Camp, on West Main street, which was attended, during the evening, by from 125 to 150 persons. who showered the popular young couple with congratulations and spent the evening in the most enjoyable informal social intercourse.
 The guests were graoiously received, as they entered the drawing room, by the bride and groom, Dr. and Mrs. Camp, and Miss Caroline Camp. Punch was served by Mrs. George P. Hardenbergh, Mrs. Hahn of Philadelphia, and Miss Minnie Wilcox. who also daintily served the cake. It was an occasion of rare de- light, the informality and the spirit of genuine friendliness that pervaded the place and the gathering making it an affair to be remembered, and especially by the bride and groom who could not have mistaken this expression of the high esteem in which they are held in the community.
 A particularly gratifying feature of the affair was the unexpected appear ance of the Canaan Citizens Band, who gave fine serenade on the lawn, which was greatly enjoyed by every listener.
 Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. Madeline Proper and son Irving Proper, of Livingston, N. Y; Mrs. Mary Vinegar and Miss Vinegar, Mrs. Albert Barnes and Miss Bessie Frein, Mrs, Agnes Camp and Miss Belle Camp, Great Harrington Mrs. Albert Sothern, Bridgeport Miss Mildred Rood.
