,Hu (3y Our Special Correspondent ri..rl lWeStport, Aug. 2S+The third annual q exhibit of the Westport artists opened
 yesterday at the public library. In.
 the evening a reception was held at
 which the members of the local artists
 colony welcomed the many guests fTfr The exhibit this year Surpasses the two former efforts attempted by the artists Everyone knows that for a , small soIon exhibit the shows of 1911 s,- and of 1912 could not be eQuaied. The exhibit this season establishes further .dt >ss fact that Westport is one of the o.Gnost important art centers of the - country The reputation of the ex-
 hibftors, most of whom reside in West -r port, and the quality of their art is ,unexceIled- It so happens that this locality is very picturesque for which 1 reason he has been selected by Aneri- li -ca's foremost painters, sculptorS and
 illustrators as their home It's near
 ness to New York also has to do with
 its superiority as an artists home.
 Among the artists who are exhibit ing are Karl Anderson, E. M. Ashe, !EIIas Dustin, Ernest Feuhr, J. D. Fra Ser, Laura Gardin, Ossip Linde, J.
 Mortimer Lichtenauer, J. N. Mar chand,- Lawrence .Massanovitch, John B. Morris. Neil Mitchell. Angus Mac Donall, Mrs. Charles $. PriZer, Henry ;. Raleigh, Ralph Willis George Wright, Robert L. Dodge. Hugo Bal1in and Arthur Dove
 Another inborma reception will be held Saturday evening, August 80. 5ft The exhibit. which Is in charge of lATiss Katherine Hut, librarian. will ; continue through to September l. .fe Contractor Chappi, who has the con tract for laying the new sewers in town daily has his troubles. If it is mot one of the ditches caving in on ai one of the men it is something else.
 Yesterday one of his horses attach E-a- -F-T E,~ < horse was in the lot near the bridge
 over Dead Mans brook in Myrtle ave
 nue when he took 1t upon himself to & start without orders
 7lf When he finished up his wander i1ngs he had piled himself off a stone
 embankInent of the brook and also thAd half of the cart with him. Only
 for the fact that there were mum
 ber of wurkment about. the horse might have done injury to himself and smashed the cart Through the efforts tof the 1ahorers the horse was loosen led from the shafts after which he walked out of the brook The men lifted the wagon off the embankment.
 It Is strange that there are not more serious injuries in the sewer icave-fna. On Tuesday James London tt1lad a narrow escape when the dirt land rocks pinned him in. He was fstanding upright when the cave-in oc-
 curred and was buried up to the waist aIr took almost two hours before he
 could be extrfcated. When he was
 taken out his lower limbs were be-
 numbed from the great pressure ex- .erted by the dirt and stones.
 Every effort Is made to prevent the lcave-ins but when the tide Is high 3the water rises in the ditches under fanining the dftches which brings about 1.-the cave-in.
