Thus indicating the return of the sun toward it's autumn nal equinox, incidentally marking the introduction of the wellknown phrase, game called by darkness on the baseball page. Last night the sun set or was supposed to set, at seven min utes past seven. But few weeks ago it was setting at half past seven. How ever, the summer still waxes, though the day wanes, much as we still grow, while the medicos tell us that we begin to die at the age of 12.

It is a pleasure to learn that John M. Billiard has separated himself from the New Haven board of directors Both good sense and good taste re- quired that he do so. He is connected with one of the events in the history Of the New Haven road that does not rebound to his credit or that of Presi- dent Mellen and which cost the stock holders of the road nearly $3,OOO,OOO. If suit should be instituted by the pres ent board of directors to recover the greater part of this sum from the Bill ard Holding company it would be ra- ther an anomaly for the defendant in the suit to be acting as one of the pros ecuting board.-Ansonia Sentinel.
