Chief Hart Authorized to Pro-
 ced With Arrangements

The annual one-day convention of the State Police association of Con- necticut will be held in New Britain this year, according to action taken by the board of police commissioners last evening, when it approved the recommendation of Chief of Police William c. Hart that the gathering take place here.
 Chief Hart explained to the board that New Britain bid for the con- vention when the matter of selecting place for this years conclave in New Haven. Bridgeport was set as the meeting place and plans for the entertainment of the visiting police men were being made, when the superintendent of the Bridgeport po- lice. Patrick J. Flanagan, passed away.
 Bridgeport asked Chief Hart if New Britain would entertain the convention, because it was decided not to hold the gathering out of difference to the departed head of the department.
 Chief Hart stated that there would be little expense attached to the project. the cost of the dinner be- ing defrayed by the state association. The convention is e-day affair, with meeting in the morning, a dinner at noon and sports in the afternoon. A program of entertain ment might be arranged for the eve ming also, although the men are at liberty to do as they please after the dinner is over. Baseball in the after noon and boxing matches at night might serve to entertain the men. The conventions are usually held in August.
 Chief Hart was authorized to pro- ceed with plans for the convention.

Then t-cy followed the train to
CalcXico where the visitors were cs.
c0rtcd over the border into Mexi.
cali and were wined and dined at
the A. b. w. Club.
Due to several holdups of the train
while cnroutc to the valley the cerc-
monies as planned were necessarily
cut short. The stop at III Centre
was clipped to 10 minutes and az
n result the addresses of greeting
were. eliminated from the program.
1t was also necessary to limit their
appearance in the parade to one
drum and bugle corps and the pro,
ccssion, led by officials of the le-
gion carried out the procession pro
gram in doublc-qui"k time.
1t was also necessary to lap off
some of the features of the enter
tainmcnt scheduled at MeXicaii IN
order to give the dinner program.
Efficient work on the part of the
officials here in reducing and speed
ing up the program, however, made
the visit a most successful one.
Much credit is due to Sterling
Oswalt, head of the committee on
arrangements, for its success. c. +.
Nice, area commander, A. f. Kel-
logg. area adjutant, and members
of the Boyce Aten post auxiliary
are also deserving of their share in
its success.
IT was a merry crowd that gath.

dinner. All were relaxing from the
strain of travci and the tension of
getting con the way to San Anton
