OLD-TIME RUNNERS SHOW
 SPEED IN HALF MILE
Rod Rivers Led Lou Ashton at Recre-
 ation Park Friday Night.

Many of the sporting fans of this city gathered at Recreation park Fri
 day evening to witness a foot race be-
 tween Lou Ashton and Rod Rivers. The race was the result of a heated argu-
 ment between the two men Friday morning. Ashton, who was somewhat of a runner in his younger days, thought that he was capable of beat
 ing Rivers in a half mile on the track at the park. Rivers was of a different opinion, and to back up his statement posted $10 with Bill Congdon, to be paid Ashton if he won. At this stage of the game Ashton also handed $10 to Congdon as his part of the bargain. The race was scheduled for o'clock ill the evening. and when the appoint ed time got around a number of those interested in the proceedings were on hand. At just 6.03 both of the men started from tbe line, Rivers having the inside course. It was 8 pretty close race until the quarter mile mark was reached, and at this point Rivers took the lead and held it to the finish. The winner crossed the line in just two minutes and forty seconds, while Ashton crossed the line just ten sec Onds behind the winner. A number of bets were placed on the outcome of the affair by the bystanders. In most of the betting Rivers was the favorite.

THIRD CHILD DIES
 FROM INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Seven Year Old Son of Mir. and Mrs. Pierre Girouard, Taken Ill at Mid night, Dies at a. m.


 Willimantic had it's third death from infantile paralysis Friday when Or phire GigOuard, the ' year old son Of MT. and Mrs. Pierre Girouard, died about o'clock in the morning at the home of his p4rents at No. Elm street. This was the worst ease that the doctors of the city or town have had to deal with, as the child died about an hour after Dr. J. A. Girouard was called to the home. The boy was taken i'll "Wednesday afternoon with fever but his parents thought he was suffering from the effects of some ap- pies that he had eaten that morning. The little boy played about the yard as usual Thursday and retired at the usual time that night, but shortly af- ter midnight it was notice dthat he was breathing with great difficulty and that his legs had become helpless. The father of the boy at once went for pr. J. A. Girouard, who after arriving at the house decided that it was only a question of time before the child would die, as the breathing organs had become affected to Q great extent by this time.
 The funeral was held Friday morn ing at II o'clock from the home of his parents. Burial was in St. Joseph's cemetery.
 The doctors of the city are at loss to explain the causes of the four cases that have existed in the city, as in each case the child has not been away from home or come in contact with any children that have come from places where the epidemic has prevailed. Two of the cases in this city have died from the disease, while one has recov- cred almost completely and the other is improving. Another death from the disease occurred in the TricIzett family that live just outside of the city limits on the Windham road. In all there have been five cases in the town of Windham, three of the victims having died.
 Friday morning City Health Officer Dr. Charles A. Jenkins was making every effort to learn if there were any children that came in contact with the Girouard child during the past week If any such children are found they will immediately be put under quaran- tine
