MARDI CRAS AT
 ROCK IS PLANNED
 BIGGER THAN EVER

The Mardi Gras at New Orleans may be rated as the best stunt of it's kind but the Mardi Gras held at Savin Rock since the start in 1910 have been running 1t a close second and from plans already in the works the Mardi Gras to be held after Labor Day this year will equal the famous carnivals of New Orleans or Coney Island.
 During the. war period the Mardi Gras naturally suffered as did every other form of joyousness but now that things are returning to normalcy the businessmen at the Rock are pre- pairing to run riot in fun this year. More attention to the costume par ades will be paid this year than ever before although some of the parades of the past have been of such char acter as to almost defy attempts to surpass them.
 As natural in such celebrations a rowdy crowd will creep in and on several occasions this element has succeeded in turning some of the nights of the carnival into a hat smashing affair The Rock this year IS DoliCed better than ever before and

GIRLS NARROWED BY FLOOD
 THAT NEARLY BURIED ROCK
ClOudburst Catches Four Young Women on Bench In Grove From Where They Are
 Rescued By Men in Bathing Suits.

If any one was to tell business man at Savin Rock that it would be possible to sail a motorboat up the Grove along the trolley tracks out over some of the side streets and back into the Sound without going aground the businessman would prob ably, before last Saturday night, have challenged the other to a fight. It's different now for after the cloudburst of Saturday night they are willing to believe anything especially after the rainy season they had gone through for the month previous. During the storm four young women were marooned on bench in the enclosure around the trolley tracks and had to be rescued by young men in bathing suits, hip boots even being no good so high was the water.
 The storm hit Savin Rock with vengeance and within half hour had so flooded the trolley tracks in the Grove that all traffic had to be sus- pended or the motors burned out. During the forepart of the storm four young women bound for Woodmont arrived at the Rock on one of. the cars that goes no farther. They had hoped to get one of the connecting cars for Woodmont, but when they left the car at the Rock found them selves held there by the rising water
 The water continued to rise and to rise and soon was over their shoe tops. They took refuge on one of the benches within the enclosure but the water soon rose over the seat of that and was again creeping up their ankles. It continued to rise and they became frightened and called for help. Tom" Raffile and one or two others of the Savin Rock business people heard their cries and saw their predicament. Rafile jumped into his hip boots and started to their rescue but hadn't gone very far through the flood before he found the water al most to the top of the boots and getting deeper every foot.
 Shouting to the young women to keep up their courage he hustled back and donned bathing suit, in which he waded through to them and one at a time carried them on his shoulders to high ground up near Palace street from where they hustled through more water down to Oak street where they eventually got cars for Wood mont, their stockings and shoes ruin ed and the rest of their wearing ap- parel thoroughly drenched but oth- erwise none the worse for their ex- perience.
 The section of the Grove near the trolley tracks has always been low and in times of heavy storms had been covered with water, but never in the memory of the oldest Savin Rock habitue so deep as on Saturday night. Several propositions to drain it have been made, but never brought to head A surface sewer could be placed through it and connected with pipes through Summer street and

NEW SHORE ROAD ADDS POPULARITY
 TO ROCK PROPER

The new state road along the West Shore, finished year ago, is certain ly adding to the popularity of Savin Rock, especially among persons own ing automobiles living towards Bridgeport or even farther away. The drive from Milford to the Rock is now one of the most delightful along the Connecticut shore and that was speedily learned by auto owners who are now taking advantage of it by hundreds daily. As result, the Rock, being at the eastern end of the new highway is benehtting through the auto parties who make the amuse- ment resort the terminal for their ride, have dinner and take in few or more of the stunts and then en- joy the trip back along the shore by moonlight when it is even more pleasant than in the day time.
 While there was always road along the shore 1t was a road in name only and rivaled the celebrated Rocky Road to Dublin" in it's make up. To chance a ride over it in an automobile was Courting either acc1- dent or at the least broken springs, so 1t was pretty generally summed and tourist traffic shunted out from ana Into NeW I1dEen over tHe MIL ford turnpike couple of miles away from Savin Rock
 The demand for shore roads finally reached the state highway depart ment and year ago it was decided to improve the road between the Rock and Milford. A good job was dcne of it anw now one of the finest drives along the shore is located where formerly was cowpath. Plcas- ure riders, even those going through and knowing little or nothing of the Rock, now take it in preference to the Milford pike with the result that when they reach the glamour and jol lity of the Rock are bound to stop and give the place at least the "once over" The result is added popular ity for the Rock itself.

WIRE AT TRACKS
 DIVERTS PATRONS
 TO BEACH STREET

Business men in the Grove and in
 terior sections of Savin Rock have been wondering at the great popu- larity Beach street has attained this year and were at a loss to account for it. At last they believe they have solved the problem, but now that they have it don't know just what they're going to do about it. It is the big wire fence and turnstile operated by the trolley company at the trolley waiting station in the Grove proper.
 Before the wire enclosure was erected everybody rode right into the Rock and swarmed through the Grove. They swarmed back again just as numerously on their return to the city so the Grove was always filled with people. Now, however, though the Grove has kept pace with the improvements in amusement de- vices and other attractions it doesn't cessionaires and other business men sought the reason.
 Inquiry and observation showed that now three-fourths of those go- ing to Savin Rock from the city drop off the cars at Campbell avenue and Thomas street and walk on down Campbell avenue to Beach street where they scatter in all directions As a consequence Beach street Is be- ing rapidly built up as an amusement thorCughfare instead of the promen- ade it was formerly. While the Grove gets it's patrons eventually it does not now get them in the punches of past years.
 The fences were put up as a matter of safety by the trolley company and have undoubtedly proved all that In former years the rushes for the cars resulted in many accidents and on occasion one or two fatal ones where patrons in the rush for seats were thrown off the running boards Now, on Sundays and holidays, when the crowds at the Rock are largest, trolley patrons are compelled to gC through turnstiles and conse- quent1y the rush is done away with While the fence is undoubtedly al nuisance to some business men, and in case of the fire in the White City a year ago was declared a menace by the fire companies who had to cut their way through 1t, nevertheless it | Is proving a safeguard to the riding public so the businessmen are at a | loss just what to do about 1t.

lead off into the Sound with but little expense, it is claimed, and even witt, high tide which now holds the water back, could empty the low portions of the Grove without difficulty, it is claimed Following Saturday nights experience, and the experiences gone through during the preceding wet month, it is now likely that a con- certed movement for such a sewer will be pushed forward. The town will naturally not have anything to do with such problem as the land is all private property so anything that is done will have to be done by the Connecticut Company and the busi- nessmen themselves.

GROVER CLEARy
 NOW STARTING NEW FOX FARM
Well Known Southeastern Alaska Fox Farmer Tells
 His Experiences.

Grovsr Cleary, W D ig reported to
 have made fortune during the
 four years that he has been engaged
 in the fox industry on Straits Isl and in Southeastern Alaska, has started new fox ranch on Conclu- .sicn Island in Sumner Straits near Rocky Pass on which he expects to put this fall 100 pairs of foxes he has raised himself
 Work has already been commenced on the building and Mir. Cieary is taking out with him two more car penters to build a dwelling house and take charge of various improve ments. He expects to have things in shape by fall t,s.s
 Mr. Cleary commenced fox ranch- ing at Straits Island four years ago, with ten pairs of foxes and now has 900 foxes there and 400 foxes on tke three small Sukoi Islands he later leased from the government. All of these are blue foxes except 35 silver black foxes. These consist ,f five pair of old ones whose lit- ers this year total twenty-four pups.

 The way. to get the best results
 with the blue foxes is to pay care fnl attention to Feeding Of the right kind and to handle them as muck as possible so as to make them tame, according to MT. Cleary. The tanner the animals become the great CT is the increase. The filters this year range inS number from eight to twelve pups. Out of. coo pups, only one has been lost. ' .
 Instead of allowing the old foxes to forage for food for their young, leaving the pups unprotected from their enemies the eagle. and marten, MT. Cleary sees that they are pro- vided once every two days with enough food and water to last them TWO days. ! aes
 The food is cooked and consists of rolled oats, rice. mfddlings, i1hortss meats, eracklings. and fish Raw hair seal meat or fish Is given
 hem occasionally, which prevents. vhem becoming mangy or sick. The foxes themselves often, catch els, cod, and founders fully a' foot and half long. : .fT < >
