 ball. undertakers Shea & Burke were given permission to remove it to their morgue.

Will liam Strankowski, at the lower end of the lake about g.: 80 o'clock saying that he was going to have a swim.

shed and brought word to Park Su- perintendent Dun that he believed somebody was drowned. Cook is the same boy who last year, under simf- lar circumstances of finding clothes hanging in the shed started a. search that resulted in finding boy drowned in the lake.
 As soon as Superintendent Duff and
 Supernumerary Elmer A. Allen, who is
 park policeman on Sundays, learned
 what had probably happened. the grappling irons that are kept at the
 park were secured and the bottom of the pond was dragged in the vicinity of the raft. Supernumerary Allen with
 Herbert w. Gallup worked from one
 boat and Superintendent -puff from another for several hours without sue cess.
 The body was at length located on the bottom of the lake and near the east corner of the raft.
 Joseph Woghkevitz of No. 57 Tenth 1 street and Frank Guzdowski of No. 6s Tenth street were working from the raft when they located the body and it was soon brought to the surface with the graphing irons and taken tc
 shore where the medical examiner saw it and learned the facts in the case.

BILLING THE TOWNS
 FOR COUNTY FAIR
Bill Posting Crews Starts Out For
 Four Days of Work.

Early this morning the paper hanging crew of the New London County Agri- cultural Society will leave New Lon don. putting up bills for the big Nor wich fair of Labor day and the two days following. They will work Ston- ington, Mystic, Noank, Westerly. Hope Valley and Ashaway, R. l., and after finishing on the Washington county side of the line they will return to Connecticut at Beach pond and cover Voluntown and Griswold. The second and third days out they will be in this county and Windham county. The fourth day they expect to touch Tol- land. They will go through several towns in that county that have in by gone years been Willimantic fair ter ritory. It is likely, too, that some posting will be done in East Haddam, Saybrook and other lower Middlesex valley towns, for Middlesex has no fair. There is a rather close com munity of interest between New Lon don county and Middlesex county since the Shore Line road built over the line and up into Deep River and Chester, two live valley villages.

In letter to the New York Times, rederick W. Cary suggests "Contih- ental War as fighting title to the present war in Europe. His letter follows:

evening. The meetings were well at
tended throughout, and it is said by
those who have been here through
the years to have been the best
meeting in many ways that the
church has ever held. There have

of these being by confession and
baptism.

200 mark and is crowding the church
building for room, and all lines of
the work are taking on new life. A
reception for the new members will
be given tonight, at which time a
splendid fellowship and enjoyable
time is anticipated Contributed.

COWS BEAT TRAIN

Herding cattle with a passenger
train is an unusual sight, but such
a stunt" was witnessed by the
crowd at the station Tuesday after
neon when No. "a pulled in.
About a mile west of the station
just this side of the curve at the
top of the hill, a couple of COWS
meandered onto the track and start
ed leisurely for town just as the
train came into sight. The engineer
slowed down his train and blew the
whistle vigorously, but while this dis
turbance did accelerate the pace that
was set by the bovines somewhat,
they positively refused to surren-
der the right-of-way Letting out
steam was tried, but the COWS ig-
nored this effort entirely.
The race between the COWS and
the train created considerable amuse-
ment among the people thronging the
station platform and betting odds
were about two to one on the COWS
getting into the city first, which they
did, having maintained a lead of
from five to ten feet all the way
in. The Cow catcher" seemed un-
able to catch the COWS. About a
block west of the depot the COWS
struck a street crossing and aban-
doned the railroad track for the
highway and the passenger spurted
up to the station A. H. Plant owns
the COWS and intends to enter them
in the fast races at the Rusk county
fair next fall
