AMUSEMENTS. Side-Tracked. “Side-Tracked,” with its scenic and mechanical effects, its funny tramp, German and Irishman, and its saucy, hoyden and charming lovers, made its usual hit last evening. There is a v-im and “go” about the play that captures the gallery as well as the elite of every audience. The laughter at the quaint sayings and doings of the comedian, as well as the delicious dialect and funny blunders of the German, was immoder- ate. A large audience witnessed the play. For the rest of the 'week only.— Boston-Globe. Side-Tracked will ap- pear at Hoyt’s Theatre, Tuesday, Octo- ber 3rd. _ . Over. the F ence- Over the Fence comes to South Nor- walk for the first time on Saturday evening next.

In March next a vacancy will exist in the office of Judge of Probate, for the Probate District of N orwalk, which in- cludes the towns of New Canaan “and Wilton, owing to Judge Asa B. Wood- ward, the present incumbent, becoming seventy years of age. Pursuant to an order of the Gover- nor, the electors of the towns of Nor- walk,_New Canaan and Wilton will 'on Monday next vote for a person to fill the office, for the remainder of the present official term, after said vacancy occurs. The office of Judge of Probate should be non-partisan and the person elected, if competent, should be retained in that position during life or until he is disqualified by age limit. In casting a vote for Judge of Pro- bate we should not consider whethera candidate is a Republican or Democrat in politics, but rather his qualifications for the office. If one candidate is better qualified to perform the intricate legal duties of the probate office than the other can- didate, we should not hesitate to cast our vote for him, putting aside party politics entirely and voting for that man who in our judgment is the best fitted for the position. ' ' The Republicans have nominated for Judge of Probate Mr. Josiah R. Mar- vin, of East Norwalk. Mr. Marvin is unfortunate in being a compromise candidate, and also in being over 68' years of age, which would prevent his re-election to the office should he be successful at the polls on Monday next. In honesty and personal integrity Mr. Marvin is the peer of any one. He is a successful farmer and rich, but he has had no training that would specially fit him for the duties of a probate judge. The Democrats have selected as their candidate Henry W. Gregory of Nor- walk. ‘ ‘ Mr. Gregory is a young man, a grad- uate of Yale ’91 S., a member of the. Fairfield County bar andthe associate judge of the Norwalk town court. ‘In honesty and personal integrity he is Mr. Marvin’s equal, and, like Mr.EMar~ vin, he has the confidence of the public. He has, however, an impor- tant advantage over Mr. Marvin in that his legal qualificationsl better fili him for the position. ' As we said before, party politics should not be considered in voting for a ”Judge of Probate, but let every elector weigh carefully the qualifica- tions of the two gentlemen nominated, and then let him cast his ballot ac- cording to his best judgment without fear or favor and we are sure that the people can be depended upon to select the best man. —————-——-<o.o>——'———- To Hold a Ball.
