A BlClMlNADfl.

JA regular tornado swept into the
“'ilson Point cove, Hic.<oryBlud, Wed-
nesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock and

 

swept away several of the yachts moor-
ed in front of the Nor-walk Yacht club.

The force of the wind while it lasted
was terrific, and so fierce a blow has-
not been experienced since the Yacht
club house has been erected.

The sloop Fanny owned by B. F. An-
drews was the first to feel the effects of
the wind, and notwithstanding her big
anchor with some 200 or more feet of
cable she was soon fiymg up the cove
before the gale '

Boatman Edward Gustafson of the
Yacht club saw her going and jumping
ing into a small yawl overtook her and
got a second anchor out.

Just at this time the Mossman broth-
ers knockabout began to feel the effects
of the storm and began to drift, her
boom thrashing about in the wind.
Her anchor caught and held, however,
before she had gone many yards al-
though she just missed the Ayli’s bow.

A big black oyster sloop dragged her
anchor way up the cove and landed on
the mud flats, fellowed by Victor W.
Ferris’ cat~boat Vision.

Before Boatman Gustafson got the
second anchor of the Fanny down, the
handsome cabin catboat Ayli belonging
Vice-Commodore A. E. Chasmar parted
her iron cable and started like a race
horse, for the Wilson Point dock. Gus-
tafson say her and jumping into his
yawl endeavored to catch her, but row
as hard as he could he could not over-
take her and she struck a big coal
barge made fast to the dock with ter-
rific force. As she bounded off Gus-
tafson reached her and quickly getting
aboard attempted to free her anchor,
but while he was trying to unfasten
the lashings which held it the Ayli
struck a spile north of the canal boat
breaking off an arm of the big anchor,
smashing the fore and bob-stay and
pinning Gustafson between the mast
and spile ina death like squeeze.

He would undoubtedly have been
killed had not a big wave turned her
stern releasing him and her bowsprit
which was fast between the spile and
canal boat, throwing her head out and
sending her stern first up the cove un-
til she collided with a sunken canal
boat at the extreme north end of the

dock. ' .
As she struck the canal boat Gustaf-

sm grabbed a rope and throwing it
over the rudder head of the old wreck
made it fast to the Ayli’s mast and held
her, although it left her beating
against the shore. ,

The Ayli was saved, but almost at
the less of Gustafson’s life, whose
Herculean efforts alone prevented her
from being completely wrecked.

W. H. Byington, who was the only
member of the Yacht club at the
house, went to Gustafson’s assistance
in a big round bottom rowboat, but
was unable to reach him owing to the
wind and waves. He returned to the
float and securing a small “dinkey’
belonging to the Mossman knockabout
rowed to Thomas Benedict’s jib and
mainsail boat and dropped a second
anchor making her secure, then re-
turned to the Ayli which he. succeeded
in boarding and with Gustafson soon
had her out of her dangerous position.

Commodore Keeler’s sloop yacht also
dragged her anchor, but G. F. Waters
got aboard and dropped her second
anchor, which held her.

H. E. Bishop’s new knockabout also
dragged her immense mooring anchor
weighing something over 200 pounds
with 250 feet of chain attached, but the
sailing master being aboard he quickly
had over a second anchor, which held
her. " , _ ‘

vVhen_the.‘orm broke a party con-
sisting ofa gentleman and four ladies
from the Riverside Yacht club in a 47-
foot sloop yacht returning from South-
port,dropped anchor off Smith’s Island.

The storm was so severe the ladies
were afraid to go below and remained
on deck in the pouring rain which
thoroughly drenched them. As soon as
the wind subsided they came to the
Yacht club, when? the ladies were

cared for until evening when they re-

turned home On the 10:30 train.

At the Knob‘a number of boats drag-
ged anchor, but no serious damage is
reported.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Osterbanks and
Miss Louise Brockmuller, of Main
street, baVe returned from a week’s so-
journ in New York state.

 

mm 'llil RAIN. .

The second race of the Westport
Driving association was held on the
Norwalk Fair Grounds Wednesday
afternoon, and drew some 1500 Specta-
tors, many of whom were ladies. A
four-horse drag party driven by 'Wil-

liam Raymond of Bridgeport was also ,

upon the grounds.

The interest centered in the
for Westport horses, and although
Mead’s Charley C. won, “Billy” VVil-
liams’ Sam W., the winner at the first

race

meet, made a good showing.

Charley C. in the first heat trotted
the mile. in 2.20}, and although held up
in the stretch he made the last half in
1.09:} showing that he was much faster
than his recorded time indicated.

In the 2.40 class I. Bouton’s Addezetta
came in first in the second heat and.
was well up towards the front in-others,
but was set back by the judges for
trotting.

Addezetta has a trotting record up
in the twenties and was entered in the
forty class as a pacer, but failed to pace
and was consequently set back.

Rain began to fall during the second
heat of the \Vestport race and contin-
ued until six o’clock .when it let up
long enough to start the first. heat of
the 2.24 class when it came down again
in torrents and stopped the sport after
the second heat, the purse being divid-
ed.

The track was covered with pools of
water, and was very heavy after the
first two races had started, preventing
further fast time.

There was considerable excitement
on the grounds at one time when a
countryman complained to Officer
Hunt that he had lost $35 by a shell
game. The ofiicer found the swindler
and escorted him from the grounds, the
countryman receiving back $15 from
the backer of the game.

The afternoon’s sport opened with a
mile bicycle race for the Burritt ama-
teur championship cup. There were

eight entries, but only four contestants.

appeared. .

James O’Connell was put in to pace
but with poor success, as all the men
but one passed him before he had gone
five yards.

On the first quarter O’Connell finally
pulled up but ran G. Shepard into the
rail and there was a mixture of bicy-
cles and men in the air over near the
main building. Neither were serious-
ly hurt although Shepard was some-
what cut about the legs and forced to
retire from the race. ,

His brother, W. Shepard, however,
was among the contestants left and
won the race in a walkover. running
away from Irwin and Curtis in the
stretch with ease.

Having won the cup on two prior
occasions it now becomes his personal
property. .

The second bicycle mile race for gold
and silver medals was delayed until
after the first heat of the Westport
trot, to allow G. Shepard time to re-
cover from his fall.

Seven riders lined up at the scratch
and were sent away promptly by start-
er Half. As in the race for the Burritt
cup, W. Shepard finished first with
ease.

FOUND DEAD.

D. H. Lockwood Found Lifeless‘on the Kitchen
Floor. ,

David H. Lockwood, a well-known
citizen of New Canaan, who lived in
what is called Bushy Ridge, about two
miles from the village, was found dead
early Wednesday morning. Mr. Lock
wood and his wife visited the village
nearly every evening. While his wife
was shopping or visiting friends, her
husband usually enjoyed a game of bil-
liards at the New Canaan Club. He
spent some time at the club Tuesday
night, and his wife called at the house
of a friend. They left for hOme to
gether at 10:30 o’clock. Soon after
reaching their house. Mrs. Lockwood
retired, and Mr. Lockwood said he
should remain up a short time, to take
a smoke and look over a newspaper.

Mrs. Lockwood awoke at about one
o’clock, and, seeing that her husband

had not yet cometo bed. she called him. ‘

Brazilian Balm.

Receiving no reply, she went down
stairs, and found him lying upon the

kitchen floor, dead. A cigar, partly
smoked, was in his mouth, and the pa-_
per he had been reading was on the

floor near him. The supposition is that
death was due to heart disease, induc-
ed by excessive smoking. Mr. Lock-

wood was an inveterate smoker, and it
is said that he had been warned by phy-
sicians that he should stop the habit,

at least in part. He was well known as
a hunter and fisherman, and during the
hunting season he often had several
people from the city at his house, who
hunted for game in the vicinity of New
Canaan. He was about forty-five years
old. The couple had no children. Mrs.
Lockwood’s mother lived with them.

Deafness cannot be cured

by local applications as‘ they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure deafness,

, and that is by constitutional remedies.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When. this tube is
enflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing Will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused’by Catarrh, which is noth-
ing but an inflamed cogdition of the
mucous surfaces.
We'will give One Hundred Dollars
forany case of Deafness (caused by
catarrr.) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send‘for circulars;
