Spellacy has many friends and admir- CTS of both parties in New Britain but Just how strong he will be on election day, no one seems to know. All con- cede that he has made an enViable record as a Federal official, but inas- much as his political activities have hitherto been confined to his home city, Hartford, it is difficult to predict the approximate vote he will receive in this vicinity.
 When the warm spell is over, the fight will commence in earnest, and a battle royal is promised. The only safe prediction possible to make now is that the candidates receiving the most votes will win,-Which is more or less obvious, but not exactly en- Tightening.

The condition of Miss Florence Casey, who was stabbed several days ago by Joseph Wawzyk continues to improve at the hospital and it is now believed that the danger of blood poisoning is passed and there is now every reason to believe that she will make a speedy and complete recov- ry. Wawzyk has been examind as to his sanity by committee of experts at the Hartford county jail, but as yet no report has been received from the doctors. Since being bound over to the superior court Wawzyk has quiet ed down and has made no outbreaks such as marked the experience of the local police. He is described by the jail officials as a, quiet tractable pris- oner.

VACATION SCHOOL END.
Exhibition of Children's Work to Be
 Given This Evening.

The 1918 term of the vacation schools ends this week after a highly successful season, conducted under unusual difficulties. The large amount of Red Cross and surgical dressings work which is being done in this city has diverted from the usual channels the activities of a number of New Britain people whose assistance in the school and similar enterprises could ordinarily be counted upon. Mrs. Seeyle, who has had general con- duct of the school has. however, been able to secure the necessary assist ance, and the school ends it's seasons work with all departments fully equipped and running smoothly. The need for the school has been greater than usual, owing to the fact that many of the members of the family to whom the children look for guid- ance and direction are away or busy in town or war work, and the school enrolment has been larger and at tendance regular.
 This evening there will be an ex- hibition of the work of the school. It will take the form of a days ses- sion, the regular program being fol- lowed. The meeting will begin at 7:30 o'clock and after the formal ex- ercses close, the products of the children's hands will be exhibited. It will be found to be surprisingly good, and a credit both to the children and their instructors.
 The general public is invited to at tend.
