Her putting at times. though was of color. Mrs. Hurd, on the other hand was short on her drives, continually sliced into the rough and at times seemed to be playing under a nerv- ous tension.
 Starting at the very first stroke, Mrs. Hurd drove off to the left of the fairway, struck tree and leav- ing her ball resting In the long grass lining the fence of nearby estate took four shots to get back on the playing fairway again.

FRESH AIR CAMP FUND
 GOES PAST S5,5OO GOAL
Contributions Reported To. day Bring It S63.sO
 Over Mark

The appeal for funds for the New Britain Fresh Air camp at Burlington has been completed for 1924. The necessary amount has been reached and the natural momentum which will carry along for a short time will take care of the additional children which can be accommodated by the added housing facilities. SO that everybody is satisfied and all is well.
 It is with pleasure that the Fresh Air Editor of the Herald and Treasur- CT L. W. Young are enabled to report today that the fund has reached its goal and gone slightly beyond the amount set. The last days reports brought in $2Sl, which, added to the s232 proceeds of the golf tournament, brings the total up to s5,5ss.so.
 Early in the year the directors de- cided to ask for $500 for mainte- hence expenses this year. The move which developed to take care of more children by adding to the housing facilities came along later in the sum- mer and produced sSs0.57 in addt- tional funds. The success of the new movement provided for additional children and increased the mainte- nance costs somewhat. This amount will be absorbed in the total received.
 Tn the maintenance fund contribu- tions were generous, prominent among them being number of small but welcome contributions from children, who earned the money in various ways.
 The fund now stands as follows:
 Previously acknowledged $5,33c.s0 Martin H. Kenney ...... BOO P c. B. 500 Reported by treasurer. .... 221.00
