DEATH OF A. (. MILLER

Plans are we'll under way for the second annual field day and outing to be held at Lake Compounce on Saturday. September 3, under the auspices of the Connecticut Fish and Game commission. Attorney Joseph P. O'Connell of this city, general chairman of the affair last year, is acting in the same capacity this year.
 A meeting of the general commit tee, consisting of the chairman and d delegate from each of the 60 sporting clubs of the state, has al- ready been held and several inn portant decisions reached. It was definitely determined to divide the field trials into two parts in order that more dogs may be accommodat ed. Last year so applications were received from owners of high bred hunting dogs. but 1t was possible for only 40 to run. A coon dog trial. a new event, will be held this year and if possible there will be a bench show for hunting dogs.
 The ky and bait casting events this year will also be divided into two parts. this being done also to accommodate more entries, and trap shooting will appear on the program as a double event.
 One of the biggest surprises Of last year was the interest displayed Tn the archery contest. The com mittee expected few or no entries to this ancient sport. but the event proved to be one of the most in- teresting on the entire program. Chairman O'Connell stated today that he had already received a number of inquiries as to whether such an event would be held this year. which indicates that a large number of entries will be made before the entry list is closed.
 Another event decided upon is a horse shoe pitching contest. Many opponents of this game expressed disappointment last year because the sport was not listed on the program and at that time 1t was decided to include 1t on this years schedule.
 The event last year, which was the first to be held by the commis- sion. was the largest sporting event of its kind held in this or any other state. Thousands of sports- men appeared at the resort and each of the entrants brought a number of friends with him. MT. O'Connell Is of the belief that this years outing will eclipse the one of last year to marked degree and 1t Is for this reason that the preliminary arrangements are be- ing made early.
 Entry blanks will be ready for distribution within a few days. The need of returning entry blanks and securing tickets as early as possi- ble was particularly stressed by Chairman O'Connel in order that all those desiring to attend may be properly taken care of.
