WARDEN WRITES
 TO DOC OWNERS.
Tie-l1p Pets, Avoid War; fare With NeighbOrs
 Suggested in Letter

Dog owners were asked today by Warden Coleman OLoughlin to kaep their animals in, check during the spring planting season. Many complaints have been received, he said, from home owners relative Jo dogs owned by neighborS scratch ing or digging up their gardens.
 Warden O'Loughlin issued the following statement:
 Waterbury, Conn.
 May 9, 1887.
 According to the wording of any reliable dictionary the present time of the year is defined as, "one of the four seasons of the year, when plants begin to grow" any many a person derives a great amount of pleasure, spading the land, sewing the seed, and watching for the first upshootS of the plants.
 These people who find so much enjoyment out of this primitive pastime, that they are not to be censored when their ire is aroused by the neighbor's dog, which is prone to trespass, scratch and dig in their harden.
 The office of the dog warden re- ceives many complaints in reference to this vexation and at this period of time, we deem it advisable to warn all owners of dogs to keep them on their own premises.
 I am writing this appealing note for the purpose of obtaining if pos sible the cooperation of the owners of all household pets, which in my estimation would tend to bring about a more amicable feeling among neighbors, and eliminate @ needless amount of petty quarrel ing. ....
 COLEMAN OLOUGHLIN,
 Dog Warden.

 The committee also commended the cooperation of the city court in the disposition of cases of violators of the motor vehicle laws appre- hended by the members of the acci- dent squad. Thus far the accident squad has lost but few cases in court.
 The accident squad currently is carrying on a drive against unli- censed drivers and against drivers who pass stop signs.

During April, out of 164 accidents, men drivers were involved in 159 and women in but five. Out of the five accidents in which women drivers were in volved only one resulted in injury to a pedestrian.

Now that summer days are DER,
You should try and smile once
more.
For fall days are now here,
And the time to us SO dear.
We all agree on one thing,
Nothing like our Fall and Spring
AS your neighbor's home you pass,
You will notice flowers and grass
Everything so nice and green,
All these things to be seen,
BY the people passing by,
If they don't We wonder why.
Let's all start at early dawn,
Get soil ready for the lawn.
Plant flower seeds here and there,
They will grow most anywhere.

jeremiah T. Mahoney'S decision
not to seek reelection as presi-
dent today faced delegates to the
forty.ninth annual convention of
the Amateur Athletic Union.
Chief among the subjects which
promised to set oral artillery roar

interest for control now held by
the A. A. U. OF the Olympic mems
track and field, eight-oared crew,
swimming and wrestling groups.
AS if this were not enough, the
delicate problem of framing an
answer to the International ANA
teur Athletic Federations request
for an explanation of the union s
refusal to approve German tour
for one of its track teams last
summer was before the delegates.
Minor headaches threatened to
arise from such other tasks as
awarding national championships
for 1896; action on SIS proposed
amendments to the unions consti.
tuition; approval Of 1886 American
sport records; dropping of the
metric system in favor of the for

track events; and election of of.
