One OF the automobilists who re-
ceived a notification to pay fine was
Coleman b Harris. Of this city, who
mad a calliope horn on his automo-

automobilists, for as Mr.. Harris's
Cadallic car passed through Middle
town a tune was played on the cal
Hope from one town limit TO the
other, and the occupants OF the car
were applauded for their musical
rendition. How the town constable,

at the conclusion that Mr., Harris
did not blow his automobile horn,
remarkable under the circumstances,
for his auto horn or calliope never
stopped sounding in Middletown.
When Mr. Harris received a notit-
cation the latter part Of last week
he was wroth, and called up Magis-
trate Cox at Middletown, told him
he would not pay the fine, and would

of the bulkhead law and also as to
the city acquiring by condemnation
or otherwise control OF the river
front.

votes were cast. compared with To-
