Last Sunday Rev. J. P. Smyth preach. ed his last sermon as rector of Christ Church. It was an excellent discourse, but contained no farewell" allusions and no reference to the fact that it was his last discourse here.

 They took the train Monday for Brook lyn, where they will reside for the inn mediate future at 291 Ryerson street.

DIDN'T KNOW HE MUST PAY
Chauffeur Cosgriff Thought Gate-
 Tender was Pooling. -f ,

..a. a-.. en0er was roofing. e-.-ta-4
 The automobile driver who, according to the statement of young Hugh Cor, coran, the bridge-tender at the toll bridge, not only evaded payment of the bridge fee but slapped the face of the boy in charge as he passed, as related in last weeks News, has come forward with an explanation. Thursday after noon MT. D. W. Oosgriff, of Sheffield, called on Attorney J. Clinton Roraback. at his Twin Lakes home, and stated that he had read an account of the alleged that inasmuch as he was the owner of the Ford car numbered 41028, and had driven it over the oll-bridge on Sunday, he desired to clear himself of the charge of any, intentional misdoing. He said he did not know the bridge was toll bridge, nor that any fee was required, to pass over it 1; and, when the boy ap- preached his car to collect the fee, he thought the lad was simply fooling, and in order to prevent him from getting hit by the car, had simply showed him aside, out of danger, and then driven on, over the bridge. He regretted that his action had placed him in the light of one who would be guilty of such misconduct as the story would seem to indicate.
 MT. Roraback accepted MT. Oosgriff' s explanation as satisfactory, and the latter then went to Young Corcoran. paid the toll fee, and apologized for his mistake. And thus the incident ended.

TRAP FOR AUTOS.
Italians Hold Up Clint Roraback's Car
 by Fiendsh Device.

Monday afternoon at 3.30, as the auto mobile of J. Clinton Roraback-oontain- ing Mr. Roraback. Miss Louise Rora- back, Rev. A. E. Roraback, Rev. Francis Barnett and George M. Bullock, the chauffeur-was driving up the Falls Village road, just below the Moon farm, there was a sudden shock and splinter ing of the glass windshield. Chauffeur Bullock, who was driving at the rate of 10 miles an hour, felt 8 shower of glass in his face, and instantly applied the emergency brake, stopping the car within space of two feet. The mis- chief was caused by wire that had been stretched across the road and securely fastened to the fence on either side. The wire was at such a height above the roadway that, if it had not been caught by the gearing of the wind shield it would have cut the threats of both MT. Bullock and MT. Barnett, who occupied the front seats.
 The auto was immediately turned around and started rapiC ly on the back track in pursuit of four suspicious. look Italians who had sprung into the road from the bushes just before the auto reached the wire, and ran away. They were traced to an orchard, where they were in hiding. Clint. Roraback tracked them to their hiding place and made them tell their names, which they gave as Joseph John. Alfredo, Nioka and Atdeleo. They protested that they knew nothing about the wire. but as some of the Goggin family had seen them acting suspicionsly at the wired spot, MT. Rora- back proceeded to Salisbury, in which town the affair occurred, and Tuesday morning, with Constable Hornbeck and Deputy Sheriff Rhoads, Mir. Roraback went to the Stone & Webster works at Falls Village, identified the four men and they were arrested and taken before Justice Malcolm D. Rudd. who bound them over in $500 each for trial at the Octoler term of the Superior court.

OUR FIREMEN ABROAD
Take Part in Labor Day Tournament
 in Philmont.

m Philmont.
 Canaan Hose Company No. 1, as a member of the Harlem Valley Firemen's Association, attended the annual parade and tournament of firemen, at Philmont. Labor Day, and report a most enjoyable experience.
 They left the re.house. 26 strong, at an early hour, and travelled by automo- bile. to. Philmont, arriving in ample time for the festivities of the day, Fore man Frank Whiting in command. They were handsomely received and royalty entertained. In the parade which was the chief event of the day and a pic. turesque feature, our Canaan boys made fine appearance, and won their full share of applause.
 It was unfortunate that some of the best members of the Canaan running team were prevented, at the last minute from accompanying the expedition, and the handicap was a misfortune, as the hose race team were unable to do them. selves justice, though they made the run in 3l16 seconds being third in the race, which was won by the Lakeville team in 28 seconds, with Philmont second. in 80. Our boys have often, ir practice. made the same run, with breal and coupling, in 2S seconds, handling 150 feet of hose, which was 50 feet more than was used in the race, and would have stood 8 fine show of winning fl they had not been handicapped by th' absence of the members referred to.
 The Canaan boys decided not to parti cipate in the running race owing to thu absence of their crack runners.
 A bountlful dinner was served to tn, firemen, and all in all, the Philmont af fair was one of the best of its kind il which the Canaan boys have yet parti cipated.
 Next year the parade and tourpamen of the Association will be held in Mill brook, and in 1915 in Canaan.

 Half Century Mark.

 The wonderful advancement that has been made in agriculture in recent years is nowhere reflected so clearly as at the Danbury Fair. There can be seen the results of the great impetus which has come to agriculture and to manufactur- ing in these later years of general pros. perity.
 Agriculture has profted by the thorough study which has been given it, and. the Danbury Fair fully proves this skill with which this wonderful indus try has been developed is on exhibition The improved varieties of grains, larger and more prolific than have been grown in times past, are there seen. More wonderful than all, the farm machinery which has made it possible for one man now to do the work that five usually did, occupies 8 great area at the Fair Grounds.
 Cattle, horses, poultry and livestock of all kinds are to be seen at thelr best. Horticulture, horticulture, fine arts, all com9 in for their full share of space and attention. In fact, there isn't single department of this great Fair that isn't always abreast of the times.
