buildings is so saturated with the re-
mains of fish as to make 1t difficult to
keep down odors these hot DAYS. Every
day. and oftener, the fish dealers use lime
and other disinfectants in large guam

constant care and the expenditure of con-
siderable sums in disinfectants that the
houses are kept in condition.

ANNUAL REUNION
 OF LARKIN FAMILY.
Isaac G. LarLSin of North Franklin Made President and T. |. Larkin of This City Vice President.

The annual reunion of the Larkin Family association was held at Casino hall, Pleasant View, near Westerly, on Thursday, and"about 40 were assem- bled to enjoy the festivities of the oc- casion.
 This association comprises the lineal descendants of one of the oldest colo nial families, whose earliest ancestor came to these shores in 1655, and whose still earlier ancestors won last ing fame in the strenuous days of England's founding, and who were granted coats of arms for patriotic valor.
 The following officers were elected: President Isaac G. Larkin of North Franklin, Conn; vice president, The ron l. Larkin of Norwich, Conn; re- cording secretary. Miss Matte SlOcum of Lafayette, R. l.; corresponding sec retary and treasurer, Miss Annette Tucker of Hope Valley. R. l.
 An interesting original poem con- cerning the Larkin gatherings was re- cited by Miss Hattie .Slocum. A splen- did address for the day had been pre- pared by Miss Alice T. Larkin of Ash away. but i'll health prevented her from being present to deliver it. Mrs w Franklin Greenman of Westerly gave the address very acceptably. Af- ter singing the Larkin hymn, the words of which were composed by the poet of the kin Miss Matte Slocum. the members dispersed to enjoy the usual pastimeS at Atlantic Beach.

tary Greenman, who is a member of the racing committee, of his selection. He is widely known among the horsemen of Connecticut, and he has lately been licensed by the National Trotting association. The races this year are bound to be good. The 2.17 in particular will bring out some fast steppers. and that, like the 2.20 and free-forSall, is d S400 race. There are several horses quartered at the track already.
 Among Mr. Greenman's and MT. Plaut's callers yesterday was Griswold H. Morgan of Salem, the man who wants and expects to get 100 yoke of oxen for the middle day of the fair, and has assurances that the 100 yoke would be there. Not all the ox-owners m the 21 towns of the county have yet been canvassed but he will take motor tFip two days next week, look ing for oxen.
 The night fair attracts a great deal of attention. The 1918 night fair was an experiment. but the profit on the innovation was handsome The fire works will be better. if anything, than the fireworks of last year,and there will be a deal of vaudeville at night and the band will play to the finish. All in all, everything points to a fair this year that the whole Eastern Con- necticut countryside can remember.

HOPED TO SAIL
 OVER A WEEK AGO.
Prof. F. D. -Mabrey Wrote to His Par
 ents from Norwich, Eng.

In a letter to his parents, dr. and Mrs. Louis Mabrey. written from Nor wich, Eng, Prof. Frederick D. Mabrey wrote that he had tickets on the steamer Adriatic, to sail on the 20th of August from England, and hoped to sail then and reach New York in about eight days, unless captured.
 Professor Mabrey was in Frankfort, Germany, just before the war broke out He describes how he reached England as follows:
 Friday we were in Frankfort. That day notices were posted saying that Germany was in a condition of war" For the German that was enough, for they knew it meant that very soon Germany would be fighting. The ex- citement stirred us to finding out the danger, but the only answer we could get was that we were in no danger, but perhaps it would be better to go. Finally. after much uestioning, l managed to get the hotel owner to say that we must go early the next morn ing, so early Saturday morning we went down thea Rhine to Cologne. There we. found notices posted telling all foreigners to leave within A hours. I went at once to Cooks and bought tickets to Holland via the Hook of Holland. There was a train scheduled to leave at 7.21. We were on the platform at [ and waited until 9.21, when a train came along labeled Flush ing. We were told to get in. It was already crowded, but in we pushed.
 You can understand the excitement in Germany when you know that abso- hltely no attention was paid to class of tickets. Generally they are extreme ly strict. Soldiers were on guard at all stations and bridges: they were everywhere. I sat on a suitcase on the front end of car while the boy sat at table in the dining car and slept At 12.10 Ghis was at night, remember) we were ordered off the train at the last town. CleVe, before the border. Here we were informed that we must remain all night and take the a. m. trolley for the border. Fortunately, we man aged to get room, but I slept on the floor. At 6 we took the car and went to the border,fwhere we were carefully searched. If you had a camera your pockets were searched and all films destroyed. Then we had to walk to the Dutch line, where they let us through at once. Then we waited an hour for another trolley to go to the station, where we waited an hour and half for the Rotterdam train. Every where the soldiers were on the move and we did not know whether we should get through or not. Finally we arrived at the Hook and there was the boat. We had to wait from until 10 to get on.
 Monday morning we arrived in Eng land, to find a bank holiday We could get no money at all. Fortunately. had some English gold but very little. We came to Norwich to see the place, but the bank holiday has been extend ed and here we are, broke Fortunate iy. the hotel people are very kind and are trusting us.
