These three classes OF people wish GER

sons. The private boarding schools can
bring those results better than any other
and in consequence they receive the pat

highly desired may be mentioned under n

In addition TO the moulding that is

the preaching on Sunday the boarding

from Lyme, was in tEe fore part of the week, to record his Devons and Durhanls. and he will be at the grounds today, to get a place rigged up for 50 head from Ashlawn farm at Bill hill, the place MT. Harding bought from Kansas Nebraska Bill.
 Horses kept arriving at the track Friday and more will get in today. The stables will be filled up by Monday when the 2:17. the fastest race in West of New London. The 2:2o and the free for -all, like the 2:17, have some real steppers entered.
 Fast Ones for Motorcycle Events.
 The motorcycle races, one each day. will be good. Mr. Pendleton informed MT GIeennlan that he could not de- liver Ted Carroll, the Springfield flyer, Monday. for that is the day of the 1oo-mile race at Readville on one of the best mile tracks in the country; rut that Carroll and Billy Leahy would be here for Tuesdays six-n1ile race. Ben Driscou is expected, and it may be that Fred Nixon, who got about all the money at the Fourth of July races, will be on hand However, whether Nixon comes or not. the Hen dee racing machine from the factory vii be manned by a fellow that can ride with the best of the motorcycling fraternity hereabouts. MT. Pendleton thought yesterday that Latham of Lebanon would be in the Monday race. It would be either Latham or Walter Chappen, and both are good.
 County Foot Race Championship.
 Me. Greenman got another entry for the nve-nile footrace yesterday. The new man is one of the Y. M. C, A. runners that went into the five-mile uphill and down race Memorial day. That race was won by a man who cannot enter this one. for Bob NIoohr- man lives in A5oston= in the winter and in WindhaIh in the summer. It was at first proposed to match Moohrman, who belongs to the Boston Athletic association and ran in the Good Fri day marathon, against Young Nolan of Taftville who came in second 40 yards or less and who, his friends and trainers, believe, could have beaten Moohrnan had he known how to sprint on Main street 300 yards from the tape It was thought better, when the race came to be talked over, to make it county race for the cham pionship of this corner of the state.
 cId-Tirne Peg Race.
 The old-timers are awaiting for the peg race wednesday. There will be a boy from the region to the north of Gardner lake who in a practice hitch up the other day, made low figures; and there will be middle aged man from the back country of Montville who says he asks no odds of anybody in a. hftching and driving contest The management would like to see two or three women in the peg race. There are girls in New London county who are pretty adapt at hitching up in a hurry.
 Many inquiries received by ME. Greenman relative to the night fair go to show that the attendance at night is going to be much heavier than last year. The fireworks will be something. Then. on top of all that, the vaudeville stage will run every night. The Beckwith megaphone will keep the day fair and the night fair going on schedule time so far as things On that side of the track are con- cerned

make it entirely natural that senators and congressman should be anxious to leave Washington as soon as the trust bills and emergency legislation made be disposed of. Nothin~ but the pres sure of public opinion will insure the maintenance of a quorum until the river and harbor bill Is passed. That pressure must be exerted and the quo- rum maintained. for the failure of the bill will ne nothing short Of a national disaster.
 Every day of delay in the passage of the bill will add to the idle enuip- ment and to the thousands of men thrown out of employment and if the bill is defeated the disaster will be that the contractors and workmen di- rectly engaged in river and harbor work are not the only ones who will be affected. Those who furnish the supplies used in river and harbor work and the workmen employed by them will also suffer. Water transportation lines cannot operate because channel Improvements are not completed and mines cannot be operated because they cannot secure transportation
 "An citizens who are interested in the progress of waterways develop ment are urged to get in touch with the senators and representatives of their states and secure pledges rom them not only to vote for the passage of the bill but also to work for it."
 Among the surveys ordered in the pending bill for Connecticut are the Shetucket, Quinebaug and French 'riv- CTS in connection with Congressman Mahan's project to secure slack water navigation between Norwich and wor- cester: Congressman Mahan,s pro- posed canal from Middietown to New Britain; Tuxis island for a harbor of refuge; Quinnipiac river, Mill river Morris cove, Mianus river. Housatonic
 river, Norwalk harbor, New Haven
 harbor, Mystic river, Branford harbol and river and Yantic river.
 Among the Connecticut appropria- tions contained in the bill are s6,000 for Stonington harbor $17o, GOO for New London harbor, $70,000 for New

RIVER AND HARROR
 BILL IN DANGER Contains Provisions for Norwich, to Worcester Canal Survey.

In a letter to Resident Engineer Waldo E. Clarke of the New London harbor commission, Secretary s. A. Thompson of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, with headquarters in Washington, declares that every friend of waterways should fully real ize the fact that the 1914 river and harbor bill will not be out of danger until it has actually become a law. In his letter Secretary Thompson says in part: ,
 Dor bill depends absolutely upon the
 maintenance of a quorum in the house and senate. Do not make the mistake of supposing that the house has noth- ing more to do with the matter. Many amendments have been made to the bill as passed by the house wkicn naKes it necessary that the bill when pass ed by the senate shall be sent to con- ference and the report of the con ference committee must receive an af- flrrnative vote both in the house and senate before the bill will be finally passed.

HAS MEMENTo OF
 AUDIENCE WITH LATE POPE Norwich Man Enoyed a Special Favor
 Several Years Ago.

4 prominent Norwich man has shown his friends this week little religious emblem which he values par ucularly now. as it was given him sev- eral years ago by the late Pope Plus A. The gentleman, who is not a Cath olic, while travelling in Italy. made the acana1ntance of a Roman Catholic tourist who secured him the coveted privilege of an audience with the sove- reign pontiff.
 Learning that he was an American, his holiness received him with espe- clal cordiality and presented him the little emblem. At parting inc kindly. gentle aged pontiff gave him his bless. ing. It is probable that the gentleman, IS the only local resident who has the remembrance of an audience with the late pope.
