In sup port of this contention the express company stated that the ordinary rate had been charged, while had a value of $2o0 been given, the rate would have been much larger. The receipt was put in evidence, and in the va1- Uation blank weresthree figures which meant either $2.oO or $200 The jury evidently thought they meant $20O for a, verdict of $105 was brought in in fa- vor of Mrs KiEborn.

GOOD SUMMER TRADE
 REPORTED BY BRIDGEPORT DEALERS
 IN AUTOMOBILE AND GAR SUNDRIES

One of the most attractive of the Cadillac roadsters is finished in green. The body is painted green, trimmed with attractive Spanish leather. The effect is both unique. &nd pleasine.
 The ether parts of the car are made Of the usual high grade materials. and the car is one of the best bargains of fered on the automobile market
 Beautiful almost beyond description is the new model of the Oldsnaoblle manufactured by the Oldsmobile com pany Of this city. It is an interest ing thing to notice the business meth ods of this firm of automobile mani ufacturers Standing out alone in trade whose chief aim is for large production, the Oldsmobile nanufac- turers endeavor to produce a quality car, not a. quantity car. It is one of the few factories in the United States where the number of cars produced is limited. Every effort is extended to produce a car that is a. thing Of beau is as near perfect as possible
 It is not an assembled car. Every piece Of it is manufactured at the plant. Here experienced mechanics many of them employed for a, life time by the company, manufacture each part of the engine and the ehas- sis. After many testings the car is assehn b1ed and sent out in the hands of expert drivers and testers It goes through a series of systematic test jngs. several drivers taking it out. and each acting as a, check upon the oth- CT. When it is delivered into the hands of it's owner. it is perfectly ad- justed and the owner is assured of a perfect naachine
 The majority Of the bodies are built to order. This gives the car the dis tinction of being a custom made car The purchaser may also select the style of tire he himself desires. This does away with the di.scontent that often follows a sale, because of tire troubles.
 The service of the company does not end at the completion of the sale. All agencies are factory branches. and any Oldsmobi1e owner may secure the I service he demands at these stations, Here a. car may be placed in a. garage until wanted Should the owner oi the car desire, information is given him without question It is one o1 the greatst brides Of the nanufac- ture1s that an Oldsmobdle owner may go to any section of the country lwhere a branch is located and receive l-everys courtesy and have every possi- lble bit of information furnished hin by employees.

A piece of interesting news to the trade is the announcement of the re- duction1 in the price of the Chandler Six, which is sold in this section by the Bullxley Auto station on Fairfield avenue. Instead of $1,785, the price in. the past, the company after much careful investigation by it's engineers. discoEered that they could prod1ce their cars for $1, 5s5. There is no change in either material or equip- rnent- Indeed, the new car produced by the company is superior to it's old models.
 Manager Carson is enthusiastic over the reduction in the price Of the car As the. worth of the Chandler, has aI- ready been demonstrated to- the auto mobile owners Of the city, the s200 de- crease in the price of the car should result in a great many more sales. The manufacturers state that great inn movement has been made in the later models of the car. It is claimed that the car is one of the most econorntcal upon the market. It is possible for one of these cars to run 24.4 miles on one gallon of gasoline It is also ] economical on oil, and the tires will stand up unusually long upon one of these cars.s So light do they run.

The local automobile trade is watoh- ing with interest the performance of the Saxon cycle cars which is sold by the H M Ford company. For sew eral days past the agents have been running one of the little cars over the streets of the city, twenty -four hours per day, both as am endurance test. and to demonstrate the work that they can perform. In order to do this, 1t is necessary for three driv- CTS to work in eight hour shifts
 These little cars have averaged 1S5 miles per day over streets that are good, bad, and indifferent, and run -347 miles per gallon Of gasoline. This, according to the agents, is an excep- tional record and one of which to be proud. The cycle car will continue to run on the streets for several days.

The Overland. sold by the Fairfield Automobile garage is. rapidly forging to the front as one of the most popu- lar of a.utomobiles. Distinctly a vest ern car, built for western roads and hills, this car has so demonstrated it's worth. over the roads of Connecticut and the hills of the New England states that the interest of owners is being directed to it continually.
 The Fairfield garage, distributors for this car are optimistic as to the future success of this car in this section Of the country. As the majority Of the automobile dealers of the city are be- ginning to believe. they contend that 1t is but a matter of time bef ore the automobile will supercede the horse for both pleasure and commercial purposes At the present time. the sale of these cars is increasing ajnd when the new models arrive the latter part of July, it is expected that the beauty of it's lines, and it's wonderful power will attract the attention Of the automobile owner

{ Probably one of the busiest places in the city during the, past week has been the Blue Ribbon garage where the Packard is sold. The members of the firm declare that they have had more than the usual calls for demon strations. and that. since the Packard was introduced to the local trade sevl 'eral years ago. it's popularity has near ly doubled every. year.
 The Blue Ribbon is among the best equipped garages In the city To this garage come the high priced touring cars that run from New York and the tourist stops for oil and repairs.
 Never they say. have the tourists thronged to the New England states as they have this Near Bridgeport being the gateway to the east for the tourist it is easy for the local dealers to watch the trend of the aut tomobiIe tourist.

 Business conditions are very good, according to the Elm Auto company, where the Peerless, the National. the Mitchell. the Pope Hartford. and the Cole automobiles are sold This com pany presents to the prospective auto mobile purchaser an unusual variety of cars. All of these cars are high grade and the best that money can manufacture. Tn all Of these lines, the new models are soon to arrive
 The Peerless car is among the handsomest offered to the trade. Beautiful in lines, it skins. over the road with an ease and grace that con vinces it's owner that it is a living thing of life and motion. The agents for this line of cars are among the most progressive Of the automobile merchants Of the state. Busines con ditions, they declare, are continually improving. It is expected that, before the summer season closes, it will prove one of the most successful on record.
 At the Bridgeport branch of the Cadillac Company of Detroit on Fair field avenue the conditions for the past week are very good. An unusual number of deliveries have been made for this time of the year, and the prospects are for an exceptionally good years business. Reports receiv- ed from many sections of the country show that the Cadillac company has | had an unusual years business since January, and prospects are that na- | tionaI records will be shattered by the l sales

The past week has been full of sur prises to the local automobile trade. With both season and. business con ditions against them, the number or sales during the past week has m creased and the total sales of automo- piles have almost doubled for this pe- riod of the year.
 It is an accepted fact among autoTno- bile dealers that this time of the year is a poor one for the sale of cars, but the predictions of an unusually. bad bad year are not proving true. Local dealers declare that never before Tn the history of the trade has so much interest been taken in automobiles. The time is past, they declare, for the wealthy to be the sole owners of tour ing cars and runabouts. Instead. great proportion of the automobiles be ing sold at the present time are to those inf moderate circumstances and most surprising of all is the entrance of the work class as automobile own CTS.
 In years past, it was only the weaE-1 thy that could afford an automobile, they declare but now even the poor man can point with pride. and say s'A1y car.'' This has much to do with the present excellent standing Of the trade.
 The summer months of the year are when the repair man reaps his harvest. Fears put to rough usage on poor roads, owners who are not well versed in the machinery Of their cars and accidents cause the most of the repairs. This, does not mean that the cars are not well made for the modern automobile is one of the most efhcient machines Ion the market, and with proper usage land care will return to his owner all most triple it's cost within the first l lyear
 Garages report that the work to be ldone on cars this year is well up to
 the average and in many eases it has fainnost doubled that of previous wears. This is caused by the rapid increase
 in the use Of the automobile in the city and upon the farm.
 From the standpoint of the autorno- bile expert. it is safe to say that the Ipast weeks business has surprised \ even the optimirtic in both sales and tthe general income from the money in- vested.

WASHINGTON.

A cClorful, blood-quickening and
beautiful tonal performance or Car
men Is being offered this week In the
Washington theater by the English
Grand Opera company. There Is
enough action. color and dramatic ap
peal In Carmen 10 please even those
who profess 10 be bored by opera
and the present company gives heed
to these things until they are as as
sertive as the music.
Wilful, passionate. hot-tempered
Carmen, with her cruel delights and
Wild temper, was portrayed with fire
and vigor and splendid vocalizing by
Miss Adelaide Norwood. Monday
night. Her complete grasp OF the
tempermental gypsy spirit and the re
lontless coquetry OF the cigarette
maker is to be as highly commended
as her singing role. and this was very
well done. Her soprano was sparkling
and brilliant throughout. and even
the difficult runs In triple time were
executed gracefully.
Barry Davis as Don Jose. luckless
lover Of Carmen. gave good dram
itiZation OF the role, and in several OF
his solo bits exhibited a strong un
derstanding OF the musical tragedy
under which the fiouted soldier sui
fered at the hands OF faithless Car
men, His voice lacked volume al
, times, but was always In perfect
register and his military appearance
went far to yisualizing the role.
Escamille, the toreodor. was SUNG
by Arthur Deane with grace and
sw ing thar brought instant and warm
approval. The Toreador song was
repeated after insistent demands from
the enthusiastic house. His singing
and dramatic work were both excel
lent
Michaela, the peasant girl, was sung
by Johanna Kristoffy, and forms a
pleasing contrast with its plaintive
motif and pure inspiration to the dark
ways o. Carmen. Miss Kristoffy was
In splendid voice and gave a beautiful
musical Interpretation of the role.
Dancario and Remendado. sung by
William Young and Frank Workman
respectively, and Zuniga by Alexander
BCyan, were pleasing bits OF an excel
Lent performance. The members OF
the large chorus proved their ability
as singers and while the appearance
OF the male portion Is often amusing
the tonal effect Is more than ade
quate.
The orchestra after three or four
weeks OF grand opera. has managed
to get we'll into the spirit OF the
music. and has shaken loose the
shackles imposed by long season OF
light music. The orchestration Mon.
day night was worthy only OF praise
The scenic effects were well handled
and the second act especially present,
ed splendid picture OF color and at.
mcsphere.
