CONTINUE BATHING.
Summer 5oarders Persist in Daily
 Dips in Fenton River.

Although the people living in the vicinity of the Fenton river have been warned by Mayor Dunn and health of- ficials of Mansfield and Winham county, not to bath in the river, the practice continues, according to the statements of some people who have recently passed through that section. When the city officials learned of the affair they immediately got in touch with the Newsdatt House.

Everything is being done by the officials of this city to put stop to this trouble which is endangering the health of the city Dr. Cramm, health officer for the town of Mansfield has stated that he will do all he can to stop it.

Local sports were greatly disap- pointed Wednesday morning when the 2O0-yard dash which was to have taken place between Robert Walker, of the firm of Portelapce and Walker, and Neil Donovan of Pautipaug Hill was not run off Monday morning the question arose as to which was the better runner. MT. Donovan Challeng- ed MT. Walker, the event to take place at S.30 Wednesday morning, and the same was agreed upon, Walker was in the best of condition and amid a crowd of spectators awaited the ar rival of his opponent. The judges had been selected and everything was in readiness, but MT. Donovan failed to show up at the appointed time. An automobile with Walkers trainers tried to locate Donavan, who was in town, but did not succeed. Donovan appeared at $50 ready to run the race but the judges had called it off at course alone and the decision was given Walker by default.
 In a statement to Walker, DonaVan said he did not understand the hour, but thought any time during the morning would be satisfactory. He again challenged Walker but Walker would not accept as he was disap- pointed once.
 Donavan and Walker are two well known amateur runners and local people were much interested ln the event. Arrangements are in the works to bring the men together on the cinder path, within a few days. Fully 500 people assembled on Rail- road street to witness the contest on Wednesday,.

Joke Turned on Joker,

One of the latest practical jokes was played on a young man on Church street about two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The young man was wet ting down the street in front of the store in which he Is employed and for his own amusement kept another young man from the store by playing the hose on him. After standing it a short time, the latter young man called mp a. friend, on the same street, who came to the rescue with a pail of water. After receiving the contents of the pail the original joker was wet from head to foot and consequently complained to the police about his troubles. The matter was finally set tied by an agreement between the plaintiff and the last arrival for a payment on the damages to the clothes of the former.

 The local paralysis situation Is steadily improving according to the reports of the health officials of the city and town. The two cases that are in the city continue to improve. The case of the Hornberger child on Jackson street is improved to such an extent that all signs of paralysis have left the child's body. The Dion child on Lebanon avenue is very much inn proved and the physicians think that a complete recovery may be looked for. The city officials are still busy investi- gating the cases of strangers coming into the city and if any are found they are immediately requested to leave or be put under a strict quaran- tine. In most cases the people have chosen the former way and have left the city.
