 Less Growing in Kensington.
 Deputy Sheriff James Clark was mo- tified this morning of a raid on Tony Cicchetti's henneries which took place Thursday night or early Friday morning.
 When MT. Cicchetti went out to feed his birds yesterday morning, he perceived that four of his most valu- able hens and one cockerel were missing. Entrance was made through window. The victim of the theft is not sure that he could iden- tfy the chickens if he saw them, but is suspicious that one of his neigh bors appropriated them, because the rooster strutted back into the yard yesterday noon.
 Chickens Wandered Away.
 selectman William H. Gibney was surprised upon going to his chicken GOODS this morning to find that six of his Rhode Island Reds were nowhere g in evidence. He concluded that 8 raid had been made last night and notified members of the family who found later that the fouls had wan- dered into Harold Aspinwall's coops, a short distance away.

 appears. -. Independents Defeat Laurels at Baseball.-Brief Mention

Members of St. Paups parish in Kensington will be disappointed to learn that exercises for the dedication of their handsome new church have been postponed indefinitely because of the failure of some ot the con- tractors to complete their work in the time specified. Father J. c. Brennan announces that the dedica- ton will take place on some Sunday next month, decision depending up- on statement from Bishop John J. Milan as. to his first open date in May.
 Father Brennan's original plans were to have the dedicatory cere- monies solemnized Sunday, April 19, 7 but he stated on. Monday last that, if the pews were not delivered on the premises this week, it would be necessary to put the exercises off until a later date. The Josephinum Church Furniture company of Co., lumbus, Ohio, which has the con- tract for the installation of the pews, has fallen behind in it's orders and cannot possibly have the seating ac- commodations placed by next Satur- day as per agreement.
 Furthermore, shipment of win- dows for the edifice went astray on tho railroad and were not located un- til few days ago. Considerab ble time will be required to install these valuable fixtures.
 The interior of the church is near ly completed now and begins to pre- sent most pleasing aspect. The sanctuary. while not large. is neat and has been adjudged a handsome piece of architecture. It is a valuable addition to Kensington and the peo- pie are. and have a right to be. proud of it.
 Rev. Dr. John Neale, permanent rector at St. Roses church. Meriden, Is to deliver the dedicato"y sermon on the day of the exercises This will take place in the morning. At ser. vices in the evening, Rev Thomas J. Sullivan, assistant rector at St Johns church in Stamford, will give an ad- dress.
