Gypsy Moth-News in Brief.
 Plans are being made by the guar antors of the Berlin Community chau- tauqua. which plays in this town for four days beginning Tuesday of next week, to make the affair even more of a success than the one which p.ayed in Berlin last year.
 Because of the number of people who have interested themselves in the chautauqua this year the event will be staged for four days instead of three as was originally planned. The tent for the show will arrive in town next Tuesday morning anl will be pitched on the grounds of the Ken sington Grammar school.
 The committees appointed at the meeting of the guarantors held Mon day night are working on the salt of tickets and a special drive is being made for the sale of many season tickets before the chautauqua arrives in town inasmuch as the proceeds from this sale will go into the playground fund while the proceeds of the sale at the door will go to tine chautauqua people.
 The board of selectmen has not as yet decided as to whether or not the town will provide police protection at the grounds during the showing of the chautauqua but meeting of the board will be held late this afternoon at which time the matter will be dis cussed. It is quite possible that the board will favor providing the pro- lection.
 Program Announced.
 The program for the showing of the chautauqua has been announced through the offices of the Community Chautauqua association in New Ha- ven It is as follows
