Service had for his subject Water Re-

His first wife. woman, a daughter of William Duffus, of Halifax, Nova Scotia Admiral -Troubridge's presence in Serbia has long been ,kepte a secret, although he was sent there with a considerable British force and a number of six-iflch guns. This British naval artillery force is supposed to have been in Serbia since last March, and has play ed a considerable part in the defense of that country. Admiral Troubridge, it is understood, was accompanied by a large force of French aviators, with their machines. Admiral Troubridge is well acquainted with his foe, for he spent a year in Austria as British nav al attache at the embassy in Vienna in 19o1-2- He has also served as naval attache at Madrid and Tokio In 1907-8 he was captain and chief of staff of the British fleet in the Medi- terranean, with headquarters at Nal ta. In 1912 he was in command of the cruiser squadron in the Mediter- ranean, and was elevated to the rank of rear-admiral- He has also served as aide-de-canp to the King, as a foreign service messenger, and as pri- viate secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty. He has been the re- cipient oforders and decorations from many governments, including Spain, Japan, France and Germany. His sister-in-law, Lady Troubrtdge, wrote
 many novels, plays and magazine stories, and gained a wide reputation in the literary world.

IDAHO


 Idaho will today round out quar- century of Statehood, having been admitted to the Union as the forty third State by proclamation of Presi- dent Harrison on July 3, 1890. The Dewis and Clarke expedition in 1so5-6 marked the first visit of white men to Idaho-a name derived from two Indian words meaning light on the mountains. The first settlement in Idaho was planted at Fort Hall by N. J. Wyeth in 1894, and the Occur d'AIene mission was established eight years later. The discovery of gold on Orc F'ino Creek in 1858 resulted in a large immigration, and in 1863 Idaho. which had been successively a part of Oregan, Utah, Washington and Ne braska, was created a separate terri tory. In 1864 a part of Idaho was set apartas Montana, and in 1868 another part, forming part of Wyoming. In the early days of Idaho the country was the hunting ground of Indians and rappers, and the capital of the State, Boise. occupies the site of an old trading post of the Hudson Bay Company.

 Frank Lyon quit the ring soon af- ter his contest with Willard and when last heard of he was a policeman in Jacksonville, Fla. Lyon was the first man to challenge Willard after the Iatter's victory over Johnson at Ha.- vana At that time Jess promised to give Lyon chance at the 6Eie when he was ready to return to the ring

Frank Lyon Gave Willard
 His Hardest Early Battle

Inst four years ago this Fourth of ,.J11Iv Jess Willard fought one Of the hardest battles of his career 1n a 1lrtie Oklahoma town. The big Kansan had six bouts under his belt when, ne fought Frank Lyon at Elk City, Okla, on July 4, 1911. Jess had made his ring debut the previous February at Sapulpa, Okla, where he lost on a foul to Louis Fink, a gladiator almost as green as Jess himself. That con test demonstrated to Jess that there was a lot more to the fighting game than he had inagined.t He has all ways insisted that he didn't perpeuate any foul, and that he had all the best of the first fight. Willard collected about $35 for his end in the Sapulpa contest, and began to study the game in earnest
 About three weeks later Jess fought Ed Burke at Ell Reno. Okla, and knocked him out in the third-rouHd- He was then rematched with Lou1s Fink. and in his second contest with that worthy, staged in Oklahoma ClIy' he put Fink away in the third round Willard then knocked out Al Mandeno in the fourth round, Joe CaVanaugh in the eleventh, and Bill Shiller in the fourth chapter. All of these con tests were staged in Oklahoma City.
 The Elk City contest with Frank Lyon was the first in which W1llard met a man Wl1O kn0W 4Ay e~OONN the finer points of the game. The bat tie between Willard and Lyon was the big event of Elk City's Independence Day celebration, and attracted sports from many Oklahoma towns. The fans figured that the giant, while raw, was practically unbeatable, and they were anxious to see him pitted against a. man who knew something of the sport as practiced by the topnotchers.
 Lyon had been a member of the training camp of Jim Jehries before the latter fought Jack Johnson at Reno, and he had also spared with Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette and oth- CT good men. During the course. Of his ring experience he had picked up quite a lot of Knowledge of the fine points. and he hoped to show up the big Kansan who was then the hero of the Oklahoma fans.
 At the time he fought Willard, Lyon was about twenty-six years old He was six feet four inches in height. and weighed over 25o pounds. His reach was half an inch better than Willard S.
 Willard and Lyon were among the biggest men vino ever faced leach other in the ring, and Elk City fans saw a veritabIe battle of giants. Will lard had to fight his hardest to hold his own, and. although he got the decision, it was by a very narrow mar gin. His close call with Lyon marked

BUILDING LOT AUCTION
 IN NORTH MAIN STREET


 What will probably be the biggest auction sale of building lots that has ever been attempted in Bridgeport will be held for the entire week of July 5, beginning on Monday after noon, July 5, at 2:30, at North Main street, Jewett and Golden Rod ave nues by the Fairview Land Go, under the capable directions of Adams and Ingalls, the well known auctioneers. The property, which is the highest and driest in Connecticut, will be auction ed off in separate lots and will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of cost, price or value, and the terms of the sale will be made to meet with the approval of the purchaser
 Many. hundreds of dollars worth of valuable gifts will be distributed at each date, as an advertisement for the affair.". It is not necessary to be a purchaser to receive a present. The ladies are especially invited to at tend, and see for themselves the op- portunities that are offered to home seekers.
 With the increase in the population of Bridgeport, due to the present and continued prosperity of the city, the rents are soaring accordingly and with the sale of the Fairview conpany's s property, a new era is at hand for those whom necessity is compelling to own their own homes. The proposi- ton is one we'll worth attending and special trolley and jitney buss service has been arranged.-Adv.

THE BIG PROFITS OF INSURANCE
(The Hartford courant)


 The Waterbury Republican, per haps slightly affected by the ignorant comment of the Bridgeport Farmer as to fire insurance in Connections, re- prints the 'F'armer's'' article and then asks what s"Fhe Courant" has to say about it. We might say a great deal but 1t seems sufficient to let official figures do the talking. Look at them as taken from the latest report of the insurance department

 The first question is how the com panfes lived, if they had more loss than income in their underwriting g business, and the answer to that is that they had had successful years, years III WIlCh they lalQ by SurpIuSeS with which to meet such emergencies, and the profits of those yeaTs, invest ed with shrewdness. enabled them to pSy dividends and keep going.
 Now we grant the statement of the Farmer" that all the Connecticut in sured together paid more for their in surance than those of them who were afflicted with fire got back by way of payment for losses. We can all thank God for that, and hope that it will be the case every year. The man who doesn't want the companies in which he insures to be strong ranks with the fellow who prefers to go to sea in leaky boat. and, as for the man who wants Connecticut to have more fires, we should incline to fear he might be ,over-fnsured
 If the companies should combine and refuse to insure Bridgeport, prop erty at any price, exorbitant or profit less, what a howl would go up and the Farmer would probably lead the shouting.
