COPPER KING
 PASSES AWAY.

Continued from Page 18) Robertson had as a direct result or his rides with Copper King still ls Ia vorite with the judge and his friends Willinantic had been teh destination and there the judge received a teIe- gram asking him to return to Ne" Haven immediately. So he put cop per King up for the time being and wont down to take the next Air Line express home.
 In his riding rig the judge was rather disguised. When the tram came along, he marched up to par lor car and was about to enter 1t when the conductor spied him. Hey, you shouted the conductor. Get out or that car and go up forward" when the conductor finally came bustling up as if he was about top itch this ap- parent back country person off pod fly, Judge Robertson produced hlS railroad pass that showed in very black type he was a. director on that road.
 There are other incidents. in the life of Copper King that have hum orous appeal. Take the day when Judge Robertson was out Clinton way. He was thirsty and entered store just a mile this side of Clinton to get a drink. He left Copper King inrastened as his particular habit was, but he forgot to tell the horse to stand there, That bit of instruc- 4ion was necessary in Copper King s case.
 Wants Drink, Too.
 The judge was just about to take @, glass of soda from the hands of the clerk when he heard a racket. Copper TCng had mounted the porch and was proceeding inward in stately fashion to the clerks evident alarm. Copper King" said Judge Robertson, ego out and wait" The horse backed out of the door and started to wheel. He went through the floor of the porch. And it cost me q dollar to pay for the repairs" says the judge in terniniscence.
 Just as an instance of the horses s,leverness, the judge could put Cop per King out into a pasture and then go up tho road and whistle a certain call. The horse would gallOp up, leap the wall or fence, and nestle his nose on the judges shoulder. There were other instances of what the horse could do, and there are many other tales of trips about Connecticut
 Copper King seemed to come home with more dignity after a trip into northeastern Connecticut where he stood with his feet in three states all at the same time. Perhaps he knew no other horse had done that little trick, thanks to his ability to get over the worst of trails so long as the judge was astr1de his back. But ther no other person ever climbed onto Copper King.

ROSS MAKES RECORD


 Chicago, April A new half mile Indoor swimming record was estab- Ilshed by Norman Ross In an open meet at the Illinois Athletic club Iaet night Ross, formerly of the Olvr,7nio Club, San Francisco, but now swim ming unattached, made the distance with trudgeon crawl stroke in Io:55 2-5. In this performance the california Is also said to have lower ed seven intermediate records. Tho former half-mile record was 11.141 true for over thirty-fve head in +ha stable of veteran Pop Geers. Miss Perfection, which Dick McMahon will carry along for another season. Is said to be in fine fettle.
 As there is no likelihood Of either Hartford or Syracuse offering any purses to half milers, Readviue will be the Kalamazoo of the East" as Secretary Millet has already an rounced two s1,600 purses in mem bership with the Bay State Circuit. with a promise for late closing events. although number and value are not stated. If we remember correctly. there was a, sort of premise to stew but a distinctiveIy Grand Circuit pro gram. There is the satisfaction, however, that if the association keeps out gentlemen jocks from rao- ing for cash purses, eampaignins g stables must accept the least of the two evils.

Special to The Times.)

Stratford, April 4.---Dsappointment and indignation was expressed by a large number of the pupils of the high school yesterday over the ruling made by Principal William Rogers of the center school to the effect that as they had seen one launching at the Housatonic ship yards it was unnec- essary for them to see another and the school would not be dismissed 15 minutes early so that they could at tend the affair. Up to yesterday noon many of the scholars state they were led to believe that they would be al lowed to get out of school at 12:45, which would give them time to get to the ship yard at one o'clock, the time of the launching
 One of the senior pupils stated at the center school shortly after school:
 Here is the fourth of the big boats to be launched in this town going off the ways and there are only two more to go and after that the yard may be closed. All we asked for was a few minutes off the regular session in or der that we might walk to the yard. as many of us felt that it was an op- portunity that should not be missed seeing this big boat sent into the wa ter A vast majority of the pupils of the school wanted to go," he contfn- ued, and all morning MT. Rogers was oeSleged with requests to go and the question were we to be allowed the b minutes that was needed to get to the yard? Many of us feel that a big event such as a launching should be attended by as many of the towns people as possible and the whole school was willing to go. Certainly another l0 minutes out would not have hurt any"
 Others of the High school were not backward in expressing their opinion and number of the citizens said if was. too bad that they were not aI- lowed to attend the launching. This ruling of Principal Rogers rerardiner the attendance at this launching is about as popular as his rulings re- garding the High school pupils hold ing dance after the basketball games.

I had no friendliness of any kind

You know how that sort of thing
