A delightful and high class enter
taiDment was enjoyed by a full
house on Tuesday evening at the
Opera House. this being the first of
series of a chaGtauqua course
which will be a source of pleasure
here and the adjoining community.
The singing was fine and a great
treat to those who had not enjoyed
the pleasure of fine opera in cities.
The limitation of the hooking bird
was fine and would have made the
warblers in the grove pause to listen!
The second entertainment will occur
on Tuesday, Oct. 9th, and if it COM
pares favorably with the first a
crowded house should be secured.
Besides the fine singing and the
hooking bird imitation, the mimi.

were appreciated and greatly en-.
joyed.

 Drive Is On.
 Connecticut has, begun a great re eruiting drive to i'll to war strength the First and Second regiments of the Connecticut national guard and to SC. cure the states quota of men for the regular army. The campaign Is being carried on under the direction of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, working through its county auxiliary committees and committees on public ity and military and naval affairs.
 The states quota of men for the reg ular army April 1 was 2,22S. Up to June 20 1.OO4 had been enlisted. The balance necessary to fill the quota on June 20 was l ,224. Military men have made it plain that twice the number actually needed will be required for examination because practically every other man is rejected. Recruiting for the regular army quota is state wide.
 For the First regiment, Connecticut national guard, the recruiting will be carried on in Hartford, Holland. Mid dlesex and Wmdham counties. This regiment on June 20 needed $50 re- cruits to fill it to war strength. Re cruiting for the Second regiment will be carried on in New Haven, New Lon don, Fairfield and Litchfield counties On June 20 the Second regiment need ed 4S1 recruits.
 The committee in charge of the re- cruiting campaign has designated quotas for all the counties in the state Each county will be expected to pro- vide a certain number of recruits for the regular army and an additional number of men for the national guard. The county committees will assign quotas to each town and city.
