Especial to The Times.)

Stratford, June 26 Paying the
 dinner to the members of the bowling
 team of the Argus club by the mem-
 bers of the fire department team at
 the Collonade, Savin Rock, on Tues
 day evening was not hardship
 Judging from the reports of the fire
 men yesterday morning. Almost all the members of the fire department
 attended this affair. returning home
 at a late hour in first class condition.
 During the dinner there were some speeches made by both firemen and
 members of the Argus club, George Bateman acting as toastmaster, and introducing each of the speakers with some witty remarks for which he is well known. He was assisted accord ing to reports by the leading confec- tioner of Stratford who not only had some words for the women but sang an original ditty entitled "She Is
 Worth an Ice Cream Soda Any Time" Officer Bigelow, Fuzzy Anderson, George Webb and Chief Al Judson
 furnished a part of the entertainment but the main part of the evenings enjoyment was taken up in trying the different attractions at the Rock. One
 of the members of the fire depart | ment is reported as having been lost in the maze and others were made | more or less sore by trying the slides. It is stated that one of the roller | coaster attractions was so popular that hours were spent in riding about | in the little cars. If the members of
 the department could be persuaded to
 continue their liking for this roller
 coaster it would pay to erect one in
 this town and in short time the proprietor could retire rich man. |
