NEW LONDON ROAD
 TO NORWICH REPAIRED
Section of Mohesan Avenue and Turnout in Waterford Looked After.

When the Norwich Business Mems association held its outing at Ocean Beach a short time ago loud com plaints were made by Mayor Murphy and others about the dangerous con dition of the temporary detour lead ing from Mohegan avenue in New London to the Norwich road.
 The section complained about was in the town of Waterford
 The selectmen of Waterford have now given their attention to the bad condition of the turn up the cross- road from Mohegan avenue A good many boulders which almost made the place impossible, have been removed, and although the detour is not a pleasant stretch to ride over, it is as good as can be expected under the circumstances.
 hole in Mohegan avenue has been filled by Street Commissioner Darrow Of New London, and for several hun dred yards toward Harrison's the west side of Mohegan avenue has been cleaned up and leveled. There is a stretch of several hundred feet on the avenue before getting across to the Norwich turnpike which is under Waterfords Jurisdiction, and no doubt this will now receive needed attention and be made as good as the section adjoining within the town Of New London.

"JAck" JOHNSON WEARING
 FINE NEW RED SUIT
Monkey at Moheean Park has a
 Soldier Clothes.

Jack Johnson, the monkey at Mohegan park, continues to be an un- falling source of entertainment to vis- itors, especially to the children and especially since he, or rather she, has been provided with a jaunty suit of red soldier clothes and cap by Mrs. L. H. Mafitt, whose husband runs the refreshment stands at the park. For it happens to be fact that "Jacks" name was bestowed without due re- gard to the sex-verities in the case. Nellie would have been more fitting, but the long tailed and active South American was so black and long of arm and leg that Jack Johnson seemed the name for him, no doubt.
 Jack likes to wear her clothes for a while, but she is so ceaselessly ac- tive and changeable that the clothes soon come off after she is dressed up. She is a wise animal. but if she knows anything about Colonel Roosevelt's s River of Doubt, but if sche does she has so far kept it to herself.
