 wopowage lodge of Odd Fellows brought together a fine audience for the Alpha chorus concert of Tuesday | evening. Owing to illness, the soprano, May Bradley Kelsey, was unable to appear. The leader of the chorus, G. Loring BurweH. substituted, his mum | bers being received with marked fla vor.
 i Many of the pieces given at the last concert were sung, but did not come at all aniss, as familiarity and addi- tional polish enaibl~d the chorus to give, at least in some cases, practi- cally new interpretation. and they were all gladly received.
 A lullaby by Brahms and one by Gibson, "A Winters Song,'' Hazel Dell" '+On the Sea-" by Buck, ''Doan Yo Cry, Ma Honey" and "Old King Cole,' special version, were some of the numbers given and which brought out the singers to the best advantage. An improvement over the work of the last concert was noted, especially in the matter of freedom of action and in the harmony of the low and soft passages. There seems to be nothing in the line of chorus singing that Mr BurweIFs company may not include in their repertoire. Fire Chief Stanton of Norwich was in town yesterday and had with him three selectunen of the town of Yar- tic, who desired an opportunity to ir-- spect the pumping apparatus recently put into commission here. Chief Stowe ran the machiI1e out and put it l through its paces, taking water from 1 the river, and, without the hydrant developed 1e6 pounds at the nozzle, a performance which gave MT. Stanton and the other visitors complete satiS faction. MT. Stowe also escorted his guests about the village showing them the fire headquarters, new town han, etc
 Chief Stanton is an authority on fire matters, being frequent contributor to publications of that character.
