POST ROAD TO BOSTON, GOOD.

Roads are practically all good from New York to Boston, further i'm proven ents having been made along the roads since reports were sent out for the Yale-Princeton game at New Haven. The Bureau of Tours of the Automobile Club of America says the road from Westport through Bridge port is now in fine condition. The de- tour through the city of Bridgeport is no longer necessary, and motorists, from Westport entering Bridgeport on Fairfield avenue may follow the direct route straight through the city. Con necticut avenue construction work is now finished with a Warrenfte com position and is better than the old macadam. Stratford avenue is paved with wood block to Stratford where this avenue is being repaired. One side of the roadway is open and this furnishes shorter and somewhat better route.
 The direct road entering New Ha- ven on the Milford turnpike has be- come worn so that it is now quite rough. Automobiles bound for New Haven are advised to turn off in Bridgeport or in Stratford and go by way of Derby to New Haven, from which point good macadam roads will be found by way of Meriden and Hartford to Springfield. The road IS also good from Springfield via Wor- cester to Boston.

GEORGE TURNEY, VETERAN
 BUILDER, DIES IN NEW
 HAVEN HOSPITAL, AGED S1

In the death of George Turney, at Grace Hospital, New Haven, on Sat urday last, Bridgeport loses one of it's most eminent citizens whose capacity for work, even until the end was in defatigab1e. Though in his eighty-sec- ond year, and suffering from an ai1- ment which physicians pronounced in curable, he submitted to an opera tion in the hope that the hand of time might be stayed.
 Born in Long Hill, in the year 1880, at an early age the deceased began the study of engineering and building, pursuing his education after his daily duties were done. Later he came to this city and engaged in the building and contracting line. He was emi- nently successful, being awarded the contract foc the present Bridgeport High school which he completed. Later, business reverses overcame him, but he bore up under them and continued in business until many years after wards.
 He made his home with his wife and only daughter, Ida, wife of A. B. Brad ley, 30 Sanford avenue F'raterna11y he was identified with the St. Johns Lodge, F. & A. M, of Stratford, which he joined in 1885, being one of the old est living members.

QUEEN ALEXANDRIA BEGINS SEVENTTETH
 YEAR TO-DAY

Queen Alexandra, the widow of King Edward VII, will begin her sev- entieth year today, having been born on Dec 1, 1s44. Half a century has passed since the eldest daughter of the Danish king made her triumpHla1 entry into England as the beautiful bride of the young and dashing Ed ward, but time has dealt kindly with her, and recent photographs make her appear more like a woman of fifty than. of one nearing three score and ten After the death of King Edgard the Dowager Queen spent many months in retirement at San- drfngham, and later visited her be- loved Denmark, but the last year has found her back in the capital, with Marlborough House as her official residence There she has apartments that are exact fasimi1es of the rooms in which she lived at Buckingham Palace. Queen Alexandra has always been fond of flowers, especially the wild varieties, and her boudoir is al- ways pervaded with the sweet scents of the modest ''posies'' of the coun- tryside. King George visits bis mother nearly every evening when both are in the city. The Queen Mother Is very fond of dogs, and has a private cemetery where many of her four-Hooted friends lie buried. A handsome statue, executed at the or der of Queen Alexandra, marks the grave of the late Kings favorite canine pet Alexandra retains much of the beauty and grace that made her famous in her youth, and it may still be said of her, as it was half @ century ago, that "she has as many gallant squires as there are men in the British ernpire.''

THE STOCK MARKET

Some light on the technical position of the stock market was cast when on Monday, transactions fell to the lowest amount for a full day since July 3, 1888. The very next day an attempt to cover shorts led to a de- cided increase in activity and a rise of a point or two. The very severity of the scrutiny with which the banks for some time past have been regard ing collateral in loans has led to e2~ tensive weeding-out of weak ae- counts We have discounted 92G1 adI1ersitv and the ur1d ercurrert or monetary tendencies is toward New Years ease.

FESTIVAL OF THE PATRON
 SAINT OF HAWARDEN

Hawarden, the little town in Flint shire, North Wales, which was made forever memorable as the residence of w. E. Gladstone, will celebrate to- day the festival of it's patron saint and heavenly protector, St Dein1ol. Many legends cluster about the name of this saint, but little is definitely known about him His name was given to the library which Mir Gladstone es- tablished in Hawarden. The little Welsh town, although now unimpor- tant. boasts of a great antiquity, and among it's relics of the past is the ruined circular keep of 2, thirteenth century. castle. Hawarden Castle, which was the seat of MT. Gladstone, dates from 1752.
 The first of December is also the festival of the saints of the Isle or Bardsey, off the coast of Carnavon county, North Wales. This little islet was for centuries a center of Chris tian activity, and pilgrims from all over Wales gathered there on each first day of December. It's son was considered sacred, and it's sfrines were famous for miraculous cures of the sick and crippled. A farm on the mainland opposite Bardsey still remains tithe free because it's own CT was ancient1y charged with the expense of supplying refreshment and rest for the weary pilgrims. The wor- ship of the saints of Bardsey has all but disappeared among the modem descendants of the ancient Cambri- ans.
