 After practicing often during hot summer evenings, the local combine was all set to win the state title and with 1t the cup that Is annually given with 1t. But when they arrived at the convention, they were informed that no cup would be awardedl in this event this year.
 The local team, like other teams present, felt 1t would be useless to compete unless something tangible wero offered so no hose. laying competition was held. And tho practices of the focal ag- gregation went for naught except to keep them fin fine trim. Captain Maurice Scanlon of the locu lteam was much disappointed.
 Tho local nremen returned with no prizes. They competed in the parade and won first honorable mention for best looking groups but 4he Ansonia Chartcris depart ment took first prize in this event. The locals feel their band, the V. l.. w. band, should have been awarded the first prize for best band in the parade but tho Y. D. outfit won this. The Thompsonville band won nation- al championship recently and did a fine job in Plainheld, according to the local nrcmen. However, a good time was had by the local smoke .eaters. No fires occurred. |. the absence of tho regulars. iiremen filled ip at the station in the absence of the vol unteers and some paid men were kept in case of fire.
