DONATE LOT FOR
 WEST SIDE DIAMOND:
Fairgrounds Association Receives Fa-
 for From The Misses Lucas.

At the meeting of the directors of the Norwich Fairgrounds association this week. at which president John B. Stanton presided, Alderman Thomas H. Beckley, who is ne of the board, reported the generous donation by the Misses Lucas of lot of land which they will permit the association to put into shape for a baseball diamond for the boys of the West Side The lot is between Elizabeth and West Main streets.
 The association made an appropria- tien to put the lot into shape. 1t was felt some time ago that the West Side boys of larger growth than the small playground size were not enjoying equal opportunities with the boys who were nearer the Lake street play ground, and Alderman Beckley in terested himself for the benefit of the West Side boys with the result of the kind offer from the Misses Lucas.
 As the playgrounds association is even now using about all the money which it had in sight, the officers would welcome some more active memberships or some more contribu- tion sto carry on their useful and in- creasing work
 Signs directing to the Greeneville playground are to be placed on Pros pect street.
