found 1t impossible to take part in the competitions.
 Due to the poor weather the elaborate parade which had been planned was forced to be shortened and in addition, the contests which were to have been out in the open, had to be held in the state armory which was too small for the con- venience of the 5000 flfers and drummers who attended.
 Upon their arrival, the local corps was informed that its appearance before the judges could not be ar- ranged before 10 o'clock in the even- ing. Because of the distance from home and the bad weather for driv- ing 1t was decided that the safest suggestion was to forgo the contest , and leave the scene at an early hour. Jane Sheehy, young baton- swinger, who was to take part in the baton contests was also unable to participate because of the same rea- sons.
 Every member of the corps voiced his enthusiasm over the trip in spite of the disappointments. Cars be- longing to members and friends of the corps were utilized for the trip.

AWARDED S1O0B
 FOR HIS INJURIES
s. N. E. Ice Company Set ties Claim With James
 Douglas of AnsOnia

Six findings and awards were handed down today by Compensa- ton Commissioner James M. Lynch. An award of $1088 is given claim ant in one case, weekly compensa- ton is ordered paid for 39 weeks in another and four claims are dis- missed on varying grounds.
 James Douglas of Ansonia is giv- en $1,088 for his claim against the Southern New England Ice Co. The company agreed to pay that sum to settle the case, though there was considerable doubt as to whether Douglas was an employe within the meaning of the compensation act. Douglas working at an ice station June IS, 1895, when a 300-pound piece of ice fell and struck his head. He suffered injuries to his eyes and mouth.
 The commissioner points out that the company supplied the ice and the equipment, that the company leased the land where the station stood, but that Douglas collected any profits that accrued from the sale of ice.
 The Turner and Seymour Manu- featuring Company of Torrington is ordered to pay $8.19 weekly for 389 weeks to Emil Negri of Torrington for an injury that resulted in 25 per cent loss of use of the right ankle. The employer must also pay medical bills incurred because of the injury. Negri was hurt December 28, 1884, and weekly payments were un- til February 2, 1895. Negri was in- jured previously in 1925 and re- ceived the sum of $500 in settlement.
 The claim of John Lodarski of Ansonia against the Smith Con- struction Company of Derby is dis missed. Lodarski claimed he was in- jured at work February 10 when he stepped in hole, but the commits sioner says that no evidence to sup port the claim was submitted.
 The commissioner also dismisses the claim of Jacob Gerwatowski of Ansonia against the American Brass Company of Ansonia. The claim ant alleged he sustained a hernia from an injury while at work, but the commissioner says that no evi- dence to support the claim was offered.
 In the claim of John Waskewice against the Seth Thomas Clock Company of Thomaston, the com missioner dismisses 1t because the claimant lost not time from work and failed to notify his employer within the statutory limit. Waske- vice clamied he was injured Decem- Der 10, 1885, and that the injuries resulted in a hernia.
 Though he suffered three differ. ent injuries, Domenic Curella oI Oakville is denied compensation from the o. w. Blakeslee and Son' Company, Inc, of New Haven. Gu rella suffered injuries to his shoul der, finger and face. In none of thu injuries did the incapacity exceeI the legal waiting period. The com missioner orders that the employe pay medical bills incurred because of the injuries.

night. The regular meeting of the Community Club is slated for Thursday night.

Despite the fact that more genial organization never existed, old Jupe Pluvius seems to have a special grudge against the Washington Hill Earbenders. Tn their two years ex- istence, they have planned and held many activities and events, but each one scheduled to be held outdoors either had to be postponed or held inside because of unpleasant and stormy weather.
 The Earbenders' old arch-enemy took no vacation Saturday and was on hand to attempt to dampen their ardor with drenching storm that continued all day. The Renders were undaunted however and imme- diately cancelled their preparations for the trip to the grove and pro- cceded to prepare their pavilion for the affair.
 So complete were the preparations made by Chairman John Tehan of the food committee that even the husky appetites of the members could not make an impression on the stacks of hamburgers, hot dogs, clam broth and all sorts of refresh- ments which had been prepared.
 The picnickers took time out from their eating and enjoyment to pose for Gunther Mathes who was later made lifetime honorary member of the organization.
