IS Balloons Tor akePart
 In Big Race

Brussels, Sept 17-Preparations were complete here today for the start tomorrow of the Gordon Bennett 1n- ternational balloon race to take place throughout the week before the in terested eyes of huge crowds
 Pilots of IS balloons, representing seven nations were busy rigging up their craft and putting the finishing touches on preparations.
 All the pilots professed to be in fine form. Given favorable winds, pilots expected to beat the worlds distance record of 1895 miles, held by Ger many.
 American baIloonists are favorftes in the race because of their greater experience in long distance flying: The Yankee pilots were praying for a e,outherly wind which would blow them across Germany. They hope thus to drift into Africa None of them cherish the idea of being blown through Russia and few are eager to land in Germany.
 Albert, king of the Belgians, will witness the start of the race. He has offered a gold chronometer to the pilot of the winning balloon.

.r. Captain,
 Stop the Ship!

Some of the troIleys built for open cars years and years and years ago have recently been con verted Into 'box cars" by build ing up the sides and placing per manent benches along said sides The steps are extremely high and all that but the cars would do right well but for one thing. They were built to have the load distributed sideways and not lengthwise.
 When they get real good load on now and get going they rock like a. cradle. One car was rock ing It's way down Barnun ave- nue yesterday when @ cash cus- toner rang for stop. When the stop was made no one got off and the conductor wanted to know ''F'ur why did you push the but ton?'
 A lady answered, "because you were going too fast" She had 1t figured that with the straight track ahead, up and down, and down, and rock-a-bye-baby mo- ton that she was travelling about 50 miles an hour and that Is too fast for Barnum avenue. She now comes Into Bridgeport by way of Stratford avenue

 Because Of the fiscal year ending several weeks before town meeting time there always has been a period of the year when Stratfcrd officials and salaried "heIp'' have worked without technically having any prom ise of pay, but an unWritten law has always kept everyone on the job, for the incoming set of town officers un> derstood the situation and everyone got paid for the period
