 Another trial will be made in a short time which will demonstrate ex- actly what the boat will do. A. sec ton of the flats which are uncovered at low tide will be strewn with oys- ter shells and staked out. At full tide the Dark Horse@ will be worked over this plot. An examination of the bottom will be made at the next low tide when the exact results may be observed Capt. Lybeck insists that the Dark Horse will pick up everything on the bottom leaving it as clean as ball room floor. This trial will be of great interest to oys- termen.
 Capt Lybeck, the inventor of the system, is a farmer by profession and has large interests in California. He has harvested many thousands of bushels of wheat with the improved machinery used on the Pacific coast and other large grain producing sec tions. The machine called a head err which cuts, threshes and bags wheat is the tnstigator of the Dark Horse and the system which it rep- resents. The Dark Horse attracts as much attention as the first flying machine or automobile and like all iT1- novat1ons it meets many scoffers but the inventor is serene and positive in his faith in his creation

MAYORS VETO OF PROPOSED
 STREET IS TO 5
Alderman Carroll's Effort to Overcome Mayoral Objec- tions Fails to Rally
 Support

Those residents of the Golden Val ley who for years have used the a1- leyway between Arch and Congress streets as a short cut down town or home again and who have hoped some day to see this way made into a street will be disappointed. The board Of aldermen by a vote of Is to last might sustained Mayor Wilson's veto of the Streets and Sidewalks com 1ndttee resolution recommending the layout of a. street to replace the present alley.
 Alderman Peter J. Carroll said that this passageway is used daily by at least 1000 persons and he thought al- most each and every one of them was in favor of the layout of a street there. Alderman Reddy declared that he had made an Investigation Of the matter and that he found but one person dp favor of it while property owners and residents of the vicinity were all op- posed to it.
 The city owns the lots which it is proposed to condemn to make the street. At the suggestion Of Alder man Miller, Nathaniel W. Bishop of the Board of Education was requested to appear before the aldermen and explain the plans of the Board of Ed ucation for that section.
 He said tfeat when the new High school is built the Board of Education plans to move the Kelly house to one of the lots which it was proposed to take to widen the street. If this is done the house will be used as store room, for offices for the Board of Education and living apartments will be arranged in it for the High school janitor.
 Alderman Carroll made a motion that the report of the Streets and Sidewalks committee establishing a street there be accepted but the mo ton was lost and the mayors veto sus- tained

COMMENCEMENT AT PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
About 100 Pupils from Catholic Grades Will Enter High
 School

Although the plans for graduation an the parochia1 schools of this city sare as yet incomplete they have pro- gresed far enough to give some idea of the number of pupils who will re- ceive their diplomas and be ready to enter High school in September Fin al examinations are now being held in the schools and it is expected that from the four different Catholic schools here in Bridgeport at least 100 pupils will pass the examinations with honors and be ready to take up higher educa- ton in the fall.
 As near as can be computes, some 40 young people will be graduated from the Sacred Heart school about the same number from St Augustine's, 20 from the St. Charles school and about 20 from St Mary's school.
 The St Mary's school commence ment exercises will be held in the church on Pembroke street on Wednes- day, June p5. The program will con- sist of speaking by a. number of the pupils and one of the members of the local clergy. singing. presentation of diplomas, and awarding of medals.
 There will be no public commence ment or graduation exercises at St. ! Charles school this year owing to the fact that the pastor is i'll. About 20 young people will receive their dip1o- mas at this school however and 15 of these will enter the local High school in September. Approximately the same number of scholars will be graduated from St Augustine's school as last year
 The closing exercises of the Sacred Heart school win be held in Sacred Heart church Wednesday evening. June 25 About 40 girls and boys will receive their diplomas and it is ex- Pected that fully tTvo-thirds of this number will enroll as students in the High school in the fall Some prorni- nent clergyman will address the young people at the exercises but aside from r37is the closing will be Of the simplest character.

MINISTERS HALT
 EXCITING BALL GAME ON SUNDAY
Walk on Bedding Field and Serve Notice of
 Impending Arrests
Contest Ceases During Ninth Inning With Almost Even
 Score

FSeddfng, June 17-F'or the present at least the ministers at Georgetown have Succeeded in their efforts to break up Sunday ball playing in that v1l- lage. The village takes pride in its ball team which for several Sundays has played with out of town teams at their lot adjoining Portland avenue. The use of the grounds is given by the Gilbert & Bennett Company and while the location is not near any church the ministers object to the games be- cause of the attendant noise and oth- CT features disturbing to the wanted Sabbath calm of the community.
 Last Friday the Congrega ational min ister and the Methodist minister pre- scented to Grand Juror Duncan formal complaint against the ball players. MT. Duncan said that not having a copy of the new Sunday law he should not like to. act until better informed as to what the law was. He suggested that a constable be called to give warning to the alleged offenders who might be proceeded against later if they persist ed in offending and if there was found to be cause for prosecution. The min listers later called upon Town Clerk Sanford and showed an opinion from Attorney General Light declaring Sun day ball playing to be against the law, whether admission was charged or not, provided a permit for the playing had not been granted by the local authori- ties on the terms specified in the new statute. MT. Sanford said, however, that he had no authority to act.
 On Sunday the two ministers waited upon Justice of the Peace B. A. Pink ney with a blank warrant which they asked him to sign. MT. Pinkney ad- vised that before taking extreme meas ures the players receive warning to deeist with notice that arrests would follow their refusal. This course be- ing decided upon the complaining min isters accompanied by Justice Pink ney, Grand Juror Duncan and Consta- ble Warner, proceeded to the ball grounds where a game was in pro gress between the locals and Bethel team. The umpire called time while the embassy held a conference with the managers of the home team. The result was a final suspension of play. It came hard on the players to stop as the contest had reached the ninth inning with an almost even score.
 The ball players and fans of the vil- lage will now make formal applica- ton to the selectmen for 8 permit, for Sunday games as provided by the sta- tute If such a permit is issued IL will designate the location and hours for games.

With skin browned from constant exposure to the burning rays of the sun, clothes covered with dust and shoes showing the signs of much use, M B. A. LasIey, of San Erancisco. Cal, pushed into Bridgeport on a bicy- cle last night from Fairfield and ap- piled at police headquarters for per- mission to sleep in Seaside park over night. Attached to Lasley's bicycle was a two wheeled wooden cart bear ing blankets. cooking utensils and other camp paraphernalia.

Up to the time he reached Bridgeport he had covered 5,575 miles, of which 2,oO0 had been done on foot. He left the Pa to reach Boston, his objective point within a few days. After spending week or so in the bean town he will leave on his return trip, receiving A substantial cum of money if he seO back In time for the Panama ez11s''-1- tion.
