 Stratford, Nov. 28-Mrs. Royal Roosevelt, one of the most capable and interesting ladies of Stratford, was married one dayelast week to AL bert S. Phelps of New Haven by Judge Bacon Wakeman at Fairfield. Mrs Phelps is remarkable in many ways. She is the last descendant of John Whalley, the regicide, who lived in a cave at West Rock in New Haven with his son-in-law, William Goffe when the emissaries of King Charles II were securing the world for those implicated in the death of his father. Mrs. Phelps is an author ess of reputation. She dramatiZed the story of the 1.-Two Orphans" and the play made Kate C1axton famous. Mrs. Phelps has lived for years in bungalow near the tracks of the New Haven road in the East End. She is the sister of the late John Whal1ey of Fairfield who was the last male descendant of the famous Republican leader who came to America and es- capped the vengeance of the restored monarchy after the reign of the Round Heads.
 Yesterday morning the people of Stratford were treated to one of the finest exhibitions of the ancient Gael ic game of football ever seen any where. The Garry Owens met the Fogaba1Ias at Avon Park The game was called at 10 o'clock with John J. Cuneen of Bruce avenue as referee. There was not a dull minute during the play which resulted in a victory for the FogabaIlas by a score of 15 to 8. The teams were evenly match ed and those who believe that Rugby is the only football game offering ex- citement were convinced that the Gaelic variety will provoke more en- thusiasm than any other variety of the game. Captain Dunn of the F'o- gaba1las, made 8 record kick which not even the star player of the Garry Owens could block. Tim Ahearn -~as on the spot to stop one of these plays and he made a record stop. The ball used came from Ireland and was fur nished by William Stone of the Garry Owens team. Two hours of. strenu- ous play was required to detArJnine the superiority of the F'ogaballas.

 One of the pair of pet foxes owned by Mrs. L. Warner of Stratford ave nue jumped through a window, break ing the glass and escaped yesterday. Mrs. Warner values her pets highly and immediately offered 8 reward for the return of the animal. A crowd of men and boys chased the animal through St. Michae1s. cemetery but shrewd Reynard escaped and has not been heard from since.
