 The class of 1919 will hold their an- nual reunion and banquet Saturday evening in the Springs house. Near ly all the members of the class who attend preparatory schools and college are home and the large number who work in Hartford will be home, so it IS believed that no one will be ab-
 
 sent. There were twenty nine grad uates in the class. In order to get a reduction in prices, it was necessary to guarantee a certain number to be present. The number promised was 2o. It is barely possible that some of the members may not be present, so the secretary wishes that those who do come would bring enough money to chip in something extra Unnecessary.
 A chimney fire in two tenement house on Gold street, attracted a big bit of attention Friday evening about seven o'clock. The chimney was we'll lined with sOOt as evidenced by the blaze which shot up more than two feet from the top of the bricks The fire burned out in half hour or so without doing any damage. The house is owned by Samuel Kuslansky. He was present but worried very little for he knew that the chimney walls were thick and the roof was of slate. A notable fact was the little interest shown, by the occupants of the house. They seemed more concerned in de- cldlng which side the fire started than the damage it might do.
 Perhaps it was the fact that all that goes to make up Christmas din- ner was offered as first prize, that drew such a large crowd to the Springs house Friday night, but it may have teen that the people have put the Strazza post down among those who know how to give a good time, anyhow crowd certainly gath cred round the whist tables while a ' good many others were dancing All i in all the boys cleared close to $50. ] The first prize, went to Mrs. Thomas l Moran and Thomas Whitaker, the | booty prize was presented to Daniel | Sullivan and Miss Laura Sabourin | The winners of the turkey dinner had l a total of 51 points while those who 1 were consoled with a set of wish ] bones had total of 19 points.
