 Reference was made to the round- about way that people from the North. End have to take now to get to their work in the East Side With the pro- posed bridge, the workingn1en would be able to Live in. the North End and pay better rent as well as walk to. and from work
 Mir. OsEsonneH said that the project would not cost a great deal.
 J J. sScanlon said that the time has come to demand the bridge, as it has been buried long enough
 F. Brady, former member of the board Of education, referred to the history of the bridge movement. Ref erence was made Ito the prediction of City P1anner Nolen that the section of the city to be most benefited will be the center of Bridgeport within a few years and that now is the ti1me# to prepare for the advance by fur nishing the bridge So as to give traf- flc a right of way He said that the matter was of such importance that city officials have discussed it seri- sously and planned. had. the East Washington bridge bonds passed, to float the present bridge up to the. Grand street site. Later it was sug-s gested by another speaker that, if 1t. WAS possible to float the East Wash ington avenue bridge there,i 1t would be possible to do. the same thing with. the present Stratford avenue bridge when it is discarded for the new structure.
 DrH. Fl. Burleson brought a mes- sage from the East Side and recalled the agitation for the bridge a. few years ago when an imposing petition representing over $4,O0o,O0O worth of property was prepared.
 During the discussion it vas voted to have City PIanner Nolen Or one of his representatives at the next meet ing to give a talk
 Former Aldetn1an o,ConneH told how, when he was in the common council. had asked for fund Of $5. GOO for prelininary work, which re& auest was referred to the street committee of which former AL derman Henry J. CIampett was chair man. The matter failed to rise to tha surface after the committee took up it's consideration. Andrew Owens in formed the meeting that former Al deTman Clampett now .s favors the bridge project and would work hearti- ly for it's success.

CENTENARY OF LIJNDY'S LANE, THE FIEREESF
 BATTLE OF 1914

One hundred years aga to-day the American army under Gen. Jacob Brown. which was seeking to effect the oft-defeated conquest of Cana das abandoned it's camp at Chippewa, the. scene of an earlier victory, and marched to Niagara Falls on the same day Sir Gordon Drummond, commander Of the British forces in Upper Canada, arrived at Riall's cam D with 815 men and assumed per- sonaI command. The British follow ed tE Americans to Niagara Falls, and the two armies but three miles apart, within sound of the roar of the mighty cataracts and in the midst of a. lovely and fertile region. So the stage was set for what was destined to be one of the ffercest and most deadly battles in the war between Great Britain and the United States. It was not until sundown of the fol- was Joined, and the roar of gums min gled with Ntagara's noisy clash of wa ters.
 Authorities differ widely as to the number of men engaged in this con- f7ict, which is known in history as the battle of Lundy's Lane A Canadian historian asserts that Brown had 5000
 men and Drurnn1ond half that num- ber An American historian gives the number engaged as 1,300 British and l. QUO Americans, anOTher5 as 4sUOu British and 5000 Amerfcans,g and a third as 5, o00 Americans and 2s600 British. An English authority" de- scribes the battle as "between 2,6O0 Americans and 4, 300 British Va rious other figures are given, some authors stating definitely that the British had the superior force, snu-5 mer1caI1y. and others quite as definite ly declaring the contrary.
 Some historians say that the con-. f1ice was waged through the greater part of a dark night, while others al- lege that the moon and stars shed their light upon the field of carnage, and that the contest of arms ended at midnight.
 That a terrible proportion on both. sides fell dead or wounded on the bat tlef1eld, all historians agree. Estan
 mates of the American loss range from 743 to e3O, and the British loss is placed by nearly all at SIS men. Considering the comparatively small number engaged, the casualties were fenormou and give Lundy'ss Lane a place among the worlds blood test battles.
 The conflict, ending with sheer ex- haustion on both sides, was indecfsive. The British were driven from the field and their principal battery was cap tured but they reoccupied their posi- tion during the night, and when the sun came up neither side had any ad- vantage Tn it's subsequent effects, however the battle was a British vic- tory, for it checked Brownis advance into Canada, and the next day he re- turned to Fort Erie, leaving the cap-

PEQUONNOCK ST.
 BRIDGE ADVOCATED BY NOR H END MEN

The Citizens Improvement associa- ton, having as its primary object tl1e securing Of . bridge across the Pe- quonnock river connecting Grand and Arctic streets was organized last night when an enthusiastic gather ing discussed the project at Germania hall Not a word in opposition was heard while all of the speakers were 41nsni11olls in their belief that the bridge will not only aid the districts but tos the city generally. It was decided to push an aggressive edaeaL- tional campaign with the purpose of having the matter brought Up at the fall election.
 John Kelly of the Seventh district, a native of the North End, was selected as chairman Former Alderman John M. OsConnen, in proposing his name. said that his selection would remove any suspicion that there was any thing of politics in the campaign Daniel F.. Harrdgan was elected clerk and. chairman of the publicity com mittee, while. the advisory committee of 15 was selected. 1t was voted to meet at the same place next Thurs day night and to invite residents of the seventh district to attend.
 pr. H. H. Burleson and former AL derman OfConnelI were selected as as- sistants to Secretary Harrigan on the press committee. The advisory com. s1InLtee Is made Of the City Treasurer. Moses M Manwaring. Samuel Da,we, Dr. H. II BurIeson. Christian Haug. Frank Berger. John M. OsConneH, John J. scanIor, M. H. Ford James Emmons,s Patrick Ryan, Andrew Ow- ems L. Korff,; John J. Rouss, Thomas Arnold and William BrechIin.
 There was a representative gather ing of residents of the Sixth. Seventh, Flights, Ninth and Tenth districts, which included Aldermen John H Cough1in, w U, Moran and John H Casey The sense of the meeting was that the project. historic in nature but dormant for many years. will be sue cessful this time if handled properly and followed up. It was shown that with the growing up of the North End, it Is of more importance that the bridge be built, both for taxpay- CTS and those people who rent their homes.
 Former Alderman OsConneIl, one Of the fathers Of the movement, called the gathering ~to order and briefly stated the objects of the meeting. He said that the growth of the North End made it necessary that an artery for traffic be provided to the East Side. also rapidly growing.

LEGHORNS AGAIN
 WIN FIRST IPI.A C.lEs


 The thirty -seventh week of the lay7 ing contest at Storrs developedsnn un- expected gain of twenty six eggs, or a total prod nction of 1Oz as compared with 3, or 6 for the preceding week. The lighter breeds were for the most part responsible for holding up the record There were fourteen pens nat produced forty-nine eggs each or K1or q during the week, or yield of go per cent. All of these were Leg horns except one. a pen of Rhode Isl- and Reds Four of these fourteen pens yielded per cent or better during the week An experimental pen of White Leghorns that have had no beef scraps since the contest opened but have been fed sour milk as 3. substf- ute is now only five eggs behind the English Wyand ottes that are leading and 1t is believed they will be leading the. comp petitton before the end of the month
 Thirty four individuals including Plyrn oufh Rocks, vVyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, LeghoFns, Orpiugtons, Carnpfnes White Laced Red Cornish, and liens laid seven eggs each dur ing the week. Jules F. FTancafs' pen Of Barred Rocks from West Hampton. Long Island produced four of these all the week layers or more than any other one pen A White Ixeghorn owned by Chas. " Sherwood Of Say brook Point, known as Mo-. b67 was credited with only six eggs for the week. but one of these sixeprov to be TO per- cent over sizs and the other one 8S per cent. over size, so that this. bird actually yielded the equivalent Of a little over 1=2 standard size eggs, that is to say, eggs that weigh twenty- four ounces to the dozen
 Seventy six birds inc1uding princi- pa5llyi Plymouth Rocks, YEyandottes, and Reds, together with a. few Leg horns and eGarpingtons were shut up in the broody cages during. the week. This means that these seventy six hens were not only not laying during the week but they probably will not lay again for a period of fifteen or eighteen days A pen of Buff Wy andottes and a pen of Rhode Island Reds were tied for the 1nenvfa.ble dis tif1ction of having the most broodies at any one time. Both these pens had six birds each wanting to sit. ss An Ohio pen White Legh orns owned by Charles Heig1 of Rocky River, won first place with hfty-seven eggs to their credit Two Pennsylvania pens of the same breed owned respectively by Marwood Poultry Farm of Butler, and PIG. Platt of WaIlingford, tied for second place with fiftyzsix eggs each and the English pen of White Leghorns won third place with a yield of ffty-four eggs
