There was no class distinction The children of high government officials and diplomats mingled with those from the hum blest homes.
 President Wilson, who takes keen interest the event, made no engage ments for the day, and was prepared to watch the children. Mrs. Wilson had as her especial guests the chil- dren of cabinet members land other officials.
 The gates to the grounds, by direc- ton of the President, were opened at a. m. Hundreds of children car rying baskets filled with Vari-colored eggs were waiting for admission The regulations required that adults ac- comapny the children.

Bridgeport aerte, No. APO, Fraterna1 Order of Eagles, will hold a parade of the members and the visiting brethren preceding the opening of the carnival Friday evening.

CHANGES THAT ARE NEEDED. In Local Police Department.

I \.
 Now that the police signal system has been decided upon, the question as to the appointment of any more policemen for some time to come has been quietly disposed of. The idea of abandoning the End precinct has been abandoned. President Atwater is in favor of abandoning it and his views are shared by other members of the board. Lieut.. AndAfson and Sergt. Otis will be transferred to headquarters, where there is abundant need of their services.
 At the present time the detail of commanding officers at. headquarters could be greatly improved upon. Supt. Birmingham reaches his office at 6 a. nl., and with the exception of times he takes for dinner, is generally at headquarters until or 10 at night l When he goes to dinner there is no one in charge of the department, save one of the policemen, who is com pelled to leave his beat for the time being. This is the time that crooks and other evil persons have been per forming of late.
 Inasnuch as Capt. Hunt does not begin his duties until o'clock it has been suggested that some arrangement
 might be affected whereby Capt. Ar mold could be in command during the | noon hour
 It is not known what the new com
 missioners will have to say in regard to disseminating the 2nd precinct sta
 tion. One thing is certain that any attempt to abolish the East Side sta ton will be met by a determined op- position from the residents of that Eneighborhood.
 Recurring again to the system sew eral of the commissioners feel that il will be years before any new police men are needed. It is also rather
 doubtful as to whether or not the 2nd Precinct station will be abolished

Dr, Bennett Davis
 Talks On Criminals

A large audience listened with in tent interest to the discourse of pr. Katherine Benent Davis, New York Commissioner of Parole. delivered upon the subject of criminals and their reform, at the Peoples Presby- terian church last night.
 night.
 Dr. Davis spoke at. length upon the penal institutions and the experim ent that has been carried on to prevent the increase of criminal knowledge through incarceration of the young with older offenders. She expressed himself as in favor of the indeter- minate sentence and vocational schools.
 The indeterminate sentence, she said, permitted the release of the thorough ly chastened culprit before she learned more of crime than he knew upon his sentence The vocational institution gives every convict a trade to ply up on his release and a chance to work honestly, she said.

MANY MISSING MARINERS.

About 3:30 Wednesday morning April 22, 1896, John E. Woods, 34 Nichols street, in company with a sailor named Billy Leonard and Joe Noble, youth whose parents live in the Sidney Dorian, which was to take "a party to New Haven, where they were to purchase seed oysters for parties in Rockaway.
 They were to leave for the scho oner, which was anchored inside the, break water, in small skiff from the foot of East Main street. Nothing has been heard or seen of them since.
 The New Haven papers this morning chronicled the finding of man who gave the name of Henry Woodruff, and claimed this city as his home. So far as canLbe ascertained there is no one of that name missing from here. He was found adrift in the Sound. The parents of the Noble boy have not heard from him and the parents are prostrated with grief.
 The New York papers tell of a man named John White, claiming Bridge port at his home, drifting across the Sound Wednesday and landing at Port Jefferson, He was in a small sl2iff when washed ashore. He refuses to tell anything about himself. He may be Woods, but if he is, what has be- come of Noble and Leonard? If that be so the question arises, who are Woodruff and White, both of whom claim this city as their homes2

YELLOW CAR
 OWNER FOUND
Trial of Culprit Soon to Be
 Heard In Church.

The appearance in Fairfield Woods of a bri ght yellow automobile, with the carburetor, and other parts miss ing has been explained by the Mems Ge4-together Club of Washington Park M. B. church. One of the members, Mfr. F. L. Bradbury com plains that the private garage at his residence 1776 Noble avenue, was for cibIy entered, his new 4 horsepower yellow Flivver was taken, and after a joy ride, in which several prominent East Side people were seen by reliable witnesses the car was wrecked and hid in Fairfield Woods.
 The Get-Together Club will hold a Mock Trial in the church par1ors, cor ner Noble and Barnum avenues next Friday evening. As several of the witnesses will be ladies, it has been decided to invite the ladies to this meeting, and the admission will be free.
 While several are implicated in this case, the real defendent will be MT. William Clinton of BIT Maple street. MT. CIinton's many friends have come out in warm terms of sympathy for him and are outspoken in their belief of his innocence, and have several witnesses to show that the complain ant was inspired by jealousy, spite and malice in making this charge against the defendant.
 This is the second trial given by the members of Washington Park M. E. church and many will remember the trial in which MT. A. H. Taylor the forraer local music dealer was con victed of purloining a lawn mower belonging to ex-Mayor John Vessels.

CRICKET CAME POSTPONED.

The .gay and festive cricketers met gester day as per agreemen ent, to play ithe match as it was arranged, and which for some time has been the topic of much conversation in certain sporting circles. But owing inclemency of the weather and the softs tate of the grounds, it was mutually agreed to postpone the game for one week. So that next Monday, the weather per uniting, it will certainly come off. We learn that there has been some s'staTnps'' wagered on the contest, the odds being three to two in favor of Sirrett and Gardner, though the Will kinson's do not by any means lack friends who are sanguine of their suc- ireeaS.
