In taking this action the Chamber of Commerce did not depreciate in the least tho value or quality of other local amuse- ments, but took the position hat tie citizens of New Britain should be of fered the variety and quality given in other cities of similar size.
 It has now been decided to close the season next week with a musical farce, and, owing to the fact that the theater-goers of New Britain have been furnished with high grade en- tertainments, but without profit to MT. Cross, the Directors of the Cha1n- Der of Commerce have approved a plan to make the last week testi- monial week to him, and they ap- peal to everyone interested in the vel fare of New Britain to show their appreciation of the effort of MT. Cross by giving him a full house at every performance next week.

Hughes won his spurs In New York
against the most powerful machine
and the greatest combination Of SIMS
ter interests that ever opposed a great
governors administration. He was
powerful enough to defeat them, and
twice become the governor Of that
state, and II was because of such
things that he became one of the first
citizens of the United States in his con-
tentien against 1t, and It is my convic-
ten, and my judgment, that for a
man equipped with moral courage and
ability to deal with this particular stu
atien, the Republicans have been for
tunate to find him as their candidate
