ASKS TROLLEY LAYOUT
 IN SALEM TURNPIKE.
Shore Line Electric Road Would Run
 Track Nearer Fair Grounds.

The selsctme nreceived a petition from the Shore Line Electric railway on Saturday which asked for a layout for trolley track on the Salem turn pike from the Backus corner down to and over beyond the bridge at the so-called Huntington road.
 trolley track to this point would enable the trolley road to get its cars near the side gate of the fair grounds and would bring the crowds direCt ly to the grounds.
 In view of the request the trolley road has also asked the selectment to defer further repairs which have been underway on the bridge so that the ti olley company could have the bridge made strong enough to carry their thaffic if the reqyest for the layout Is granted.
 The seiectmen have accordingly stopped the work that they were hav- ing done on the bridge. First Se- lectman A. w. Lillibridge sair on Sun day that the selectment have only taken preliminary action on the action on the request for the layout in de- ciding to advertise the matter as they are required by law before granting what Is asked. He said the advertis- Ing would be done at once.
 At the last common council meet ing a petition was to have been pre- sented for a new turnout for the troll ley tracks in West Main street west of Asylum street, but blue prints were not ready at the time and the pe- titlon was not brought forward. Sc far it has not been presented agains to him, Mayor Murphy said on Sunday evening.

Yesterday they filled the churches in the morning and there the clergy presented the spiritual harvest of Stonington's time of battle.
 In the afternoon the governor of Connecticut, and other dignitariee dis tinguished in church and state and public service, occupied the guests stand on Wadawanuck park. and the addresses there. by forward looking men prominent in affairs. sounded a new note in the proceedings of the celebration.

TROLLEY GAR STRUCK
 WEST SIDE CHEMICAL WAGON
motorman Brought to a Halt by Chief
 Stanton.

Tn the response that the fire depart ment made on Saturday afternoon to a bell alarm from box IF, corner of West Thames and Skipping streets, the wagon of Chemical Go. No from the West Side station was struck by a trolley car just after the fire wagon had rounded the Thames square cor ner into Thames street
 The ire wagon had come to a stop, Chief Stanton said and the moving trolley car struck it at the hind wheel and ripped the back running board. The chief was vigorous in his con- demnation of the motorman. who started up his car again after hitting the chemical wagon and then was summarily halted on the West Side bridge by the chief as the latter came along in his buggy. There were two pieces of apparatus coming after the chief, but the motorman seemed to know nothing or care nothing about the, rules of the trolley road that re- quire all cars to come to a stop and remain at a stop until all fire appar- atus has gone by
 Later in the day the chief reported the case to the trolley road officials
 The fire that the department was bound for was in a small shed at the rear of No. 295 West Thames street, where Albert Cobe was trying out a boat engine. The exhaust set fire to a can of gasoline. The small building was perfectly consumed and the en- zine was badly damaged by the fire.
 The fire was at 4.05 o'clock. The building was in the rear of a house owned by Mrs. Julia Murphy.

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
 A MILE OF AUTOMOBILES.
County Agent Lincoln Working Again
 for Trip to Storrs College.

County Agent Murray D. Lincoln of the New London County Improvement league has started again to work up to suitable proportions the visit to the State Agricultural college at Storrs. which had to be abandoned July 2sth on account of the weather.
 He has issued the following circular letter:
 To the Loyal Citizens of New London
 Much to the disappointment of our agent and 150 farmers. the New Lon- don County Improvement league was obliged to postpone their trip to the State Agricultural college at Storrs July 2Sth on account of bad weather.
 At that time we planned to have 20 automobiles in line, but on counting them the night before we found 42 had volunteered. We have now decided to visit the college on Wednesday, Aug. 18th and earnestly hope that we Will have 100 automobiles in line, which should accommodate 800 people who are interested in the effort that is now being made to make New London county by far the best and most pros porous county in New England.
 Special programme will be arranged and we feel that an exceedingly proflt- able day will surely result from look ing over the prize pets of poultry that have been entered in the laying con- test; hens not only from all parts of the United States but from England as we'll, the thoroughbred cows and and horses, where will be found the COW that holds the state record and many other equally interesting subjects wall be seen all over the college grounds.
 The parade, headed by Mayor Mur- phy, ladies driving their own cars next in line, will start from Shetucket street at 10.3o o'clock sharp. There should be at least one mile of automobiles. The United States record is now he'd by a progressive western county which had S6 automobiles. Hampden county league, Springfield, is planning three of these outings during this month and next, one of which will bring them into Connecticut.
 New London cars and those near by will first meet in New London at 9.sC and arrive in Norwich in time for the parade
 By return mail kindly send card ad- dressed to s2 Shetucket street and ad- wise if you will be with us and state how many you can accommodate, not including your own party.
 Let us know each other better and make this the biggest day of the year outside our county fair, when we viii all meet again and talk it over.
