Thinks Cali Had Rabies

A calf that local butcher purchased last week was killed Monday night as it appeared to have rabies.
 The calf, the man later learned, was bitten by the Worcester dog that had rabies and when the butcher heard and saw it acting queerly in the barn he immediately killed it. The head has been sent to Middletown for examina- tion.
 A report was received from Middle town Wednesday stating that the calf, the head of which was sent for exami- nation, undoubtedly had rabies.
 Dog Warden Gardner stated that he has killed two dogs since he put the Worcester animal away The second of these was killed Monday night. This animal, recently brought here from a neighboring village, became sick Sat urday night. Monday when the wife of the man who owned it went to feed the dog he leaped at her, but did no damage, as he was limited to field of operations marked by the length of his chain. When Gardner saw the dog, he having been summoned, 1t was in such . condition that he did not besi- tate a minute about killing it. The other dog he has killed was the proper ty Of Henry Laparde of Auburn and had strayed into this section.

Baseball Outlook

At the present time it looks more hopeful for a baseball team in this city than at any time since baseball talk began to be heard. And the team may once more be competing for the flag in the Eastern Connecticut league.
 The first and greatest obstacle is a place to play. The plan now is to go back to the old Morse lot near the river bank If permission can be secured. Many great games have been seen on this field land when any attempt to break away from this spot is attempt ed the hoodo follows and gets it's work in and back they go.
 A second obstacle, as far as playing in the league is concerned, is the de- mand by Manager Bardier for con cession, which he deems necessary, partly on account of the inflated price some of the local players are putting on their services, and partly for other reasons, that he be allowed to secure players from Thompson territory. This demand has caused deadlock for the time being,
 The solution of these difficulties and the final outcome is being eagerly awaited by the anxious fans.

BUSINESS men
HAIL old KRIS
Members Of Commercial Club
Gather Around Beautifully
Lighted Christmas Tree.
PAIR OF SANTA CLAUSES

Forgetful Of business cares and reaf-
frming their belief in Santa Claus,
members of the Commercial Club last
night made the halls of the stately old
mansion, in Madison Place, echo with
merriment.
Twin Santa Clauses were the head
liners at the Christmas tree night fes-
tivities. AS much mystery surrounded
the identity of old Chris last night as
in boyhood days. 1t was not until after
every one had received gifts that the
two Santa Clauses were prevented from
making their escape up the chimney
and forced to unmask. Lincoln Town
send and T. p. Murphy were the two
members Of the club brave enough to
face the joshing of their club mates.
Next to the twin Santa Clauses, the
feature of the celebration was the huge
Christmas tree. brilliantly lighted with
hundreds of tiny electric bulbs, which
emblazoned the countless yards of tinsel
and other ornaments.
The clubhouse from cellar to roof was
bedecked in evergreens, holly. and thous-
ands OF red bells. Between "spasms"
as the different numbers on the evenings
programme were listed. appropriate
Christmas music was played.
The only time Wnen one 5 VOICE cOulu
be heard above the din OF tin horns and
shouts of laughter was when Milton E.
Allies, president of the club. with a few
words presented to the club a handsome
silver tea set.
A number of short impromptu speeches
extolling the Christmas spirit and ex-
pressing the hope that Christmas tree
night would be made a yearly occurrence
were made by several members.
The success OF the celebration was
largely due to the untirng work Of the
entertainment committee, Of which Fred
S. Lincoln was chairman The commit
tee on decorations was composed OF ID.
