 It seems to be up to the borough officials to push things. For weeks The Press drew from a source of in- formation, believed to be unquestion- ably reliable, that this place was to have a trolley freight depot. an erection obviously much needed. It was remarked that difficulties existing when freight was being unloaded and loaded from the express on Furnace avenue and attendant sentiment would be eliminated shortly, the basis for the remarks resting on the assertions from time to time of persons believed to be in receipt of ''inside" in- formation. It now looks as though the possibility of depot is just about on the same rung as it was months ago. And, the power of bringing the possibility into an actuality, it would appear, seems to rest with the local authorities.

MT. .O'Halloran is further elated by the fact that some of the olassiest trainers that ever guided horse around half mile circle will tug the ribbons at the fair this fall. Among those booked to handle horses on the local circle this fall are Wizard" Putnam of Trenton, N. J., Harry Brusie of Hartford, Mr. Giles of this place, W. T. Crozier of Hartford, O " Lasell. millionaire horseman of Whitinsville, Mass, and a bunch of others which any kind of a follower of the game will recognize and interpret as meaning that there of a certainty will te something doing" in every heat. In consider ing the possibilities of this years event with direct reference to racing, it should not be overlooked that the races will be staged on the best track in these parts. The 3 per cent. entry fee for such purses, it is probable, has never before been set, surely not in New England The last page con- tains list in full of entries.
