Special to The TImes.)

| Bridgeport, Danbury and more dls- i tant points will attend the concert to be given at the Mark Twain Library next Saturday afternoon beginning at 2:3O o'clock The only drawback is the fear that the floor space will be too small for the audience as 1t will be somewhat encroached upon by the extension of the stage so as to pro- vide room for two grand pianos. Be- sides Ossip Gabrilowitsch, piano solo, list. and Mrs GabriloWitsch, operatic singer, there are to take part Olga Sanaroff, pianist, and Hans Kremhn, celloist. The tickets are $2 each and may be had locally of Harry A. Louns- bury, near the Library, and at West Bedding station, and also are on sale till Thursday night at Steiner's mu- sic store. Further tickets will be sold at the door on Saturday, while they last. As the number is limited to BOO, it is advisable to secure seats at once. The entire proceeds will be devoted to the equipment of the Mark Twain ConveIescent Home at Stormfield, the estate of the late Mark Twain at Red- ding.
 The Liberty Loan committee began Itheir canvass Saturday and are work ing diligently and with satisfactory results, the subscriptions reported up tp Tuesday evening being approxi- mately s1O,OOO. Readings quota this time is $2S,35O, which is considerably larger than the former quotas. This time Georgetown is not included in the district of which Bedding has been made a part. an arrangement disapproved by both the village and the rest of the town. Michael Con- lnery, chairman of the Georgetown committee, and W. c. Sanford, chair man o& the town committee, have
 both sent in strong letters of protest with the hope of having the situation Iremedied But such grievance as IGeorgetown feels on this score did
 not prevent her people from making a remarkable record Her quota was S15. 900 and the entire amount was sub
 scrofbed the first day. On Tuesday morning there arrived the honor flags which signifies the filling of the quota. And the work of piling up sub
 scriptions continues to proceed.
 At the meeting of the town school
 committee on Tuesday afternoon B. A. Pinkney, chairman of the board since 1t was organized nine years ago, presented his resignation. The other members received his communication with deep regret and in the talk , which ensued with the hope of per
 suaIding him to reconsider his action
 paid earnest tribute to the able man. 7 ner with which he has performed the
 duties of his position. To their ap-
 peals Mir. Pinkney replied. in sub-
 stance that he felt that his long period of service satisfied him in retiring. Before adjourning the committee vot- ed to table the preferred resignation with the idea that Mir. Pinkney might > yet change his mind. He is again on y the Republican ticket as a candidate T for committee membership, fact = which assures his election.

 ity No specimens of needlework were |, shown as, in previous exhibitions, but Frances Burnett, aged ,St displayed
 samples of her knitting. Viola Fla vereau and another young miss gave

 position in the opposition camp, has
 made 1t known. that second only to his R desire to secure his own election a:
