In p Years Elks Increase
 Membership From AZ to 458

At the institution of Putnam Lodge. 5T4. Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. there were 42 charter mem bers. and from this modest beginning the lodge has grown in % years to 45s members. From the start the lodge has been success. and inter woven in it's history of nearly a quar. ter of a century is a record of prog ress and accomplishment thai the members may deservedly take keen pleasure in and point to with pardon able pride
 It was back in May, 1900. that a preliminary meeting was held by a group of Putnam men interested in forming a lodge of Elks in this city. James Nj Gould presided at that meeting. when steps were taken to se- cure a charter. So i; was on May 10. 1900, that the lodge formally came into existence. Mr Gould being elect ed the first exalted ruler, Isaac Cham peau the first secretary, and George s Bradley the first treasurer.
 The charter,now framed and hung on the wall in back of the exalted rulers chair in the lodge room. gives the following names as those who were charter members: James NJ. Gould. Jerome Warren. E. L. Gould, George D. Baldwin. Isaac Champeau, George $. Bradley. John 0. Fox, Geo. A Hammond, S. H Cole. William F. Rafferty. A. W Turner, Edward Mullan. Andrew V Frost. G. E. Brous- seau. II. H.

more popular and its prestige rose in the community and the nation. more and more men made application for membership. The result is it's present large membership roll, including men all over the lodges jurisdiction, which embraces Danielson and points south and north to Webster and South bridge.
 In December 1900. Mir. Gould re- signed as exalted ruler and Jerome Warren was elected as his successor. H. L. Hammond followed Mir. Warren in the exalted rulers chair. Mir Ham mond resieniag in January, 1908. when the office was filled by the se- lection of willian F. Rafferty. Those who since have served as exalted rul- CTS have been Byron n Bugbee.

Dean. Walter ] Bartlett, Edward W Mallan, John J MeGarry and Lucius F Merriam. the present exalted ruler.
 For years the Elks held their meet ings in odd Fellows hall. later moving into the old Masonic hall.
 Lodge Buys Main Street Block
 A few years ago the Elks decided they wanted Co own the building on Main street. occupied on the ground floor by the Church Clothing Com. pauy, Burt's Drug Store. and others, and after some negotiating. closed the | deal. The real estate transaction was one of the biggest in Putnam in years. The Elks have the entire top floor. where is situated their lodge room, i library and reading room and recrea- tion room. equipped with pool and 6il- Hard tables. card tables, and other games. to afford entertainment for the members. The social rooms prove ev- cry day one of the important assets of the lodge. for they are largely used. One of the features of the Elks' home is the grill room. which is equipped to l eHFNF ANAHA iAAtAAAfHHA AA q N48tsHA dinner to a few people or large num- Der Many q good feed las been prepared in that room. the mere an- nouncement that the grill committee will serve lunch. serving to draw out q large number of brother Eiks on eer- tain occasions.
 There are many reasons why tine Elks organization Is such popular one. IL Is non-seetarian so a mans religious belief has nothing whatever to do with his membership in the so- ciety or his conduct as such. Lots and lots of good is done by the lodge every year-but nobody knows about it except those in whose hands the work has been entrusted and those who have been aided by the lodge. Doing charity in quiet way. rather than via the gay white way of pub licity. is the policy of the fraternity.
 Putnam Lodge of Elks has had a very successful career in the % years of its existence It has played . prom irent part in the social, civic and pa- t,i1tie life of the community, and has been and is an asset to Putnam.

Brahan to Retire
 from Business

Samuel J. Braham, 95 Fairfield ave- nue. one of the leading haberdashers of this city for the past ten years is retiring from his retail business in this city to engage in the manufac- turing industry in another city. The Braham store located as it was in the heart of the shopping district has all ways been one of the most popular stores of it's kind in Bridgeport. It has always enjoyed a large business due to the fact that the proprietor always beleived that quality was the best asset to any business and he re!isiously pursued that policy for over ten years.
 Beginning tomorrow morning at nine o'clock MT. Braham is inaugu- rating a sale to dispose Of his en- tire stock of mems shirts, underwear. hose. neckwear, belts, garters etc. at unheard of prices. Anyone who is acquainted with Braham values will know what this means and should avail themselves of this never to be repeated opportunity to secure not alone their supply of summer wear ables but their winter furnishings as well. It is the urgent request of MT. Braham that all his old patrons take advantage of this wonderful buying event which starts tom morrow morn Ing.

MARTIN SONS
 $52,8OO BID
 IS ACCEPTED

The contract for building the new library, to be built on the triangular plot at the intersection of State street and Fairfield avenue, has been award ed to the contracting firm of William Martin and Sons, for S52, 800.
 When the original bids were opened, June 30, William Muirhead wds the lowest bidder. His bid was for s5439S. Martins first bid was for S56,997.
 Immediately upon receipt of the bids the library board, through Archi- tect Leonard Ashiem, called in the two lowest bidders and asked that they submit a new bid. Changes were made in the original plans whereby marble was substituted for lime stone in the outer trim and the oornices in the reading room were eliminated.
 The following day the new figures were brought in by the two lowest bidders Muirhead, it is said, cut his bid bout s1,200, while Martin cut his about $4,S00.
 The above figures were received from an unofficial source. An attempt to corroborate these figures at the office Of the architect proved futile.
 It was stated yesterday at Archi- feet Ashien's office that it was the custom to ask the lowest bidders to rebid when any changes were made.

Ietic build, strong and

decidedly athletic build, strong and supple.
 Matty Ward played first base and was as good-natured as Fred Nichols. He played way off his base and caught many a runner trying to steal. He had a splendid record as ball player and later as an officer on the police force.
 Pete Hackett occupied third base. and he was exceptionally fleet of foot. He could make a home run off blocked ball before the catcher, short stop or pitcher could collect them selves and pick up the ball.
 Jerry Sullivan disported himself in left field and was especially skilfull at catching foul flies.
 Many a Killing Made.
 Ferry Nichols played second base and whoever got by Matty Ward on first died at the feet of Nichols.
 Such was the timber of the old T. B.s, and their fame reached far and wide because of their phenomenal success in rarely losing a game.
 In those early days Of baseball the New Works also began their activities, and at times would play the Boston nine on home grounds. Frequently the New Works, on their way to Bos- over night to play game at the trot- ting park with the T. B.s, going on to Boston the next day.
 Most of these games were won by the I. B.S, ana on thelr trlumphant trip back to their club rooms they were followed and cheered by hun dreds of Bridgeport boys who regard ed the home team as immortal heroes. Dick Bradshaw, now with the Timea was one of these boys, and William Wells, also with the same newspaper, was another.
 The various umpires who off1ciated at these old-tine games were the proud possessors of a manner of cynical insouciance, therefore their decisions were never disputed.

Vendors Permits
 May Be Revoked

That police action may be taken to force fruit and vegetable mer- chants in the city to remove fruit and vegetable stands from sidewalks unless they have permits from the Common Council. was the indication at City Hall today. Many of these stsWxiS in the center of the city are menaces to pedestrian travel and cause a great amount of inconven- fence
 On Wall street there is a stand that extends for some distance out on the sidewalk and flinders pedestria n travel to great extent, sometime les causing people to walk out in the street in order to pass. On State street. near City Hall there is a stand that cuts off four feet of an eight foot sidewalk, allowing this small amount of space for a great deal of foot traffic. This. it is said. is true of many places in the city. Police ac- tion will be taken and permits revok- ed when it is found that the walking distance is too small
