Originalllailowe'en Party

for Mrs. Mead's Pupils
last Saturday Night—
Cuests Costumed as Ghosts

All in White—

A very original and merry Hallow-
e'en party was held at Hillside. on Sat-
urday evening.

The invitations were tiny .lack o‘lan-
terns. inscribed on the froirt with the
name of the guest. and on the back,
with the words “Hillside. 7:30-10. and
the legend
“As guests all in white.

()r as shadows diin seen,

(ionic share the delight

Of our All-liallow-e'en.”

in response. a company of ghosts
all in white. silently entered the dark-
ciicd hall at Iilllsido at the appointed
hour. The spirits flittod mysteriously
from one room to another. now and
then beckoning with rip-raised hand
to some victim selected for torture. ap-
parently rejoicing in the sighs and
groans that were the only audible
sounds.

At the strains of Chopin‘s "Dead
March" from the. piano. the ghosts
formed a procession. marching with
. silent step and slow through the.
‘- rooms. till at: a given signal the lights
were turned up, and the ghosts Were
é transformed into the gayest of merry
» sprites.

The witch’s cat appeared on the wall.
ohorn of her long black tail. which
. each tried to replace with varying for-
l tune. and then followed a program of
. other amusing gamete-The Matrimon-
ial Sea, The Fairy Candies. Bobbing for
i Apples. The Doughnut Scramble, a
f Nut-throwing Contest. The Fortune

Hunt. the Peanut Contest. The Bean
7. Charm, The Saucer Chart". The Flour
5 Mould and Fad lilour.

A realistic witch's fire antler a hot-
tlo of‘witch broth blazed in the front
hall all the evening. and the potion dis-
penned from the kettle was in constant
demand .

Refreshments were served in one. of
the school rooms. The table was dac~
orated with quantities of chrysanthe-

. mums.
mounted by the typical lady in b
with peaked cap and birch broom. till-
ed the center of the table. flanked by
plates of peanut and lettuce cand-
wiches. dishes of fruit. nuts and candy.
dainty favors filled with bonbons. nuts
and raisins. which were most cordially
appreciated. ’

The house was beautifully decorated
with quantities of bittersweet and
gorgeous autumn leaves. The teachers
devoted themselves with untiring care
to the pleasure of the company. and the
scene was one of unalloyed enjoyment
and merry making.

Montauks. by a Score of
5 to 2

The Company F basketball team
played rings around the team known
as the Mercury Athletic Club, of New
York. last night. at the armory. before
a large crowd. The wonder was that
the New Yorkers scored at If”. They
probably would not have hliil the local
tcani not become a little careless with
their ”E. Z. Marks." The score at the
end of the first, half was eight to both-
ing. in favor of the local military has—
ketbnll shooters. The crowd was en-
thusiastic in approval of llle I" play"
era. and chum-ed loud and often.

Raul-h started oil with the scoring
soon after the game started. with a
goal from the field. and this was fol-
lowed with two goals from the foul
line. landed into the basket by (llilotto.
The score was then four to nothing.
and Dot-ncy made it six to nothing.
with another field goal. and before the
half closed Ranch and tossed the ball
into the basket again from the field.

The New Yorkers did not play a very
bad game. but they had met more than
their match. and consequently did not
show up to very good advantage. it is
said that they are a picked team and
are supposed to be a strong team.
They Were handicapped. hoWeVer, hav-
ing only four men here. Thoir best
player, it is claimed, was injured in a
football game Saturday. liarry Wes—

ing the final score sixteen to live in fa-
vor of Company I“.

Eleven Members of New
York Club Covered hip
from New York to South
Norwalk in Ihree flours

Eleven members of the New York
Motor Cycle Club arrived at the lio-
tcl Clifford at 12:30 tiaiay. on the first
one hundred mile "regularity run" of
the club. The distance of ill 3-10 miles
was covered in three hours. The first
machine to arrive here was ridden by
A. J. Bendix. the pacemaker. The run
was not for the purpose of demonstrlt-
ing the speed of the machines. but to
show how well they could be depended
upon. The event was scored on the
ibilill system. and stop» of live niinutos'
«motion at points kno’ym only to the
pacemakers. Contestants tarrlvmg at
lllu stopping plum; were awarded the
iull number of points for a perfect
score of one hundred points. seventy
of which entitle the rider to a hand-
some. medal,

The run was confined to machines
not encoding five llilinp power. and
equipped for pedal propulsion. Dur-
ing the run four of the riders dropped
out.

The start was made from the club-
house. 1.904 Broadway. near Sixty-
third street. New York. at 9 o'clock.
the pacemakers Were J. I“. McLaugh-
lin and A. J. Bendix. The first stop
made was at New Rochelle. where they
Waited for ten minutes and took on
glistilllle. The second stop was at
Greenwich. where the riders rested
twenty minutes. There Were no other
stops until the machines reached South
Norwaik. Four had dropped out along
the road. owing to punctures. There
was no trouble with any of the on-
gines.

All arrived in South Norwnlk within
ten minutes of the pacemakers. who
reached here at 12:30.

A stop of an hour and fifteen min-
utes was made at the Hotel Clifford.
where the riders washed the dust from
themselves as far as possible. for they
were all gray with it. and sat down to
dinner. They wore a merry party. and
not the least merry of the crowd was

that the run had been a success from
every point of view. and the fact that
there were no unpleasant accidents
was gratifying’to them. There were
all sorts of machines in the party.

Five members of the Bridgeport

Norwelk City Council
will later on Make Repairs
to Hillside Avenue—Again-
st Damages for Mrs.
Cormley—SewerPiensDis-
cussed

Various matters came up at last
night’s meeting of the Norwalk City
Council. It was voted to accept the re-
port of the highway committee. which.
with the city attorney, had examined
into the claim of Mrs, .lohn H. Corm-
lcy. who put in a claim of something
like $30 at the last meeting of the
council for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by a fall over a writer
shut off in front of the residence of
8. ii. Wilson. The committee, through
the chairman. (‘oiincilman Reynolds,
reported that Mrs. (lorinley had no
grounds for action against the city.

The matter of the condition of the
streets around the trolley tracks was
discussed. and it was voted that the
clerk notify the Connecticut Railway
and Lighting Company to make the re-
pairs. The Council accepted Loomis
street and Hillside avenue.

The mec'ing was called to order by
Mayor Glover with all of the members.
including Councilmen Glover, Riordan.
Weed. Betta, Lockwood and Reynolds
present.

John Duiilop appeared before the
Council to see if it would not do some.
thing about the condition of Hillside
avenue. It was brought out that Hill-
side. avenue and Inomls street. which
arll together, had never been accepted
by the cliy. Upon motion of Council-
man Glover it was voted to accept
them. it being within the. province of
the Council to take such action. (‘oun-
ciirnan Clover said that owing to the
lateness of the season it would be
pruclcnli)’ useless to work the roadln'rl
bow-and that much could not be done
until next spring. Mr. lliinlop hoped
that if anything could be done it would
be. but said jokingly. that be guessed
the residents could wait another six
months. having already waited for
eight years.

The bills of the various city deparr
ments were ordered paid as follows:
Highway 89089: Police. $242.35.; Lt
brnry. 8334.70: I-‘irc. 32319.07: Sewer.
35!! 55; Administrative. $014.14: Total_
$1884.11,

(.‘ouncilman Reynolds brought up the
(lormley claim and it was disposed of
as mentioned. the ruotion that the
(‘onncciicut Railway and Lighting
Company be notified to make the re-
pairs to their tracks was then passed.
li was stated that the tracks in some
places were above the streets so as
to make it uncomfortable to drive over
them.

Councilman Lockwood stated that
the contract for the sewer to the fair
ground from Plymouth avenue had
been given out to Mr. Cliiappa. of West-
port, who had immediately ordered the
pipe and it would be pushed to comple-
tion just as soon as the pipe arrived.
(,‘hiappn agreed to complete the job in
forty working days. The matter of the
sewer in (‘annon street. which had
been petitioned for. was brought up
but no action was take , There was
evidently a desire to in this matter
go over until the new council takes
office. City Engineer t‘harles N. Wood
had figured thht the sewer was to cost
about $300 or 81 a foot.

The report of the city librarian. Miss
ilotha Stone Pinneo. for September.
showed that there were 5.200 visitors.
a daily average of 280. Whole number
of books given out. 3.500. daily average
of 140. There were at the close of the
month 2.955 cards in all.

The report of Chief of Police Thom-
as Bradley for October showed nine ar-
rests. The city sheltered 168 wander-
era in the Smith street tramp house.

The Council adjourned to Monday
evening, November 16th.

Society's Annual Meet

Catalan Held in Fairfleld With tho
President, Mrl. Maboi Osgood—-
intcrclilng Paper-a Read.

 

The Audubon Society of this state
held its sixth annual meeting, last rial
urday. in h‘airfleld. with the president.
Minn Mabel Osgood Wright, in the
chair. and a large number of members
and others interested ware present.

Mrs. Wright reported on the. work of
the executive board for the past year.
and one very important part of that
report was the concurrence of the so-
ciety with the New York societies and
the Milliners' Iiniona.

In the new law just passed. the mil-
liners agree that after January 12,1904.
they will not have for sale the feathers
of grills, terns, song birds or aigrcttes.

The secretary's report was read and
among other interesting items was the.
gain of over 1,000 new members—many
of these are junior members. so the
hope for the fi‘tlf‘e is most encourag-
Ins.

The society sent two delegates to the.
annual meeting of the National Audu-
bon Society. which is diong a great
work.

The meeting was then addressed by
Charles I). lllnc. secretary of the State
ilodrd of Education. who complimented
the society for its work along educa-
tional lilies. and stated that the demand
for the twenty-five circulating librar-
ies which the society has given to the
state. is far in excess of the supply.
These libraries are made up of ten
books ear-b on the subjects of flora and
birds. and are sent to the public schools
and allowed to remain in one school
about four or five months.

Then followed an interesting address
upon Bird Protection in 1903: Retro-
spective and Prospective. by Dr. T. S.
Palmer, of United States Biological
Survey. He was able to tell of the
doings of all our states in relation to
the birds. and it was gratifying to
learn that we now have Audubon So-
cieties in thirty—seven of the states.
Each year tells of more schools obs
serving “Bird Day.“

Time and space prevent a full report
of the atlresses and business of this
meeting. but every moment of the
two hours spent there was full of in-
terest.

then read.

.ioscph Taylor. City Clerk.

Dear Sir: i beg to file complaint re-
garding the assessment of benefits and
damages in connection with the Pros-
pect street layout. now known as
Sound View Terrace. It seems that
those lots on this street. known on
Nos. 55. 50, 5 58, 59 and 60. heretofore
owned by G rge Lockwood. but now .
owned by Dudley E. Hoyt. were desig-
nated on the map used in the adjust-
ment of benefits and damages as being
:from 180 to 200 feet In depth. where-
as the actual depth of the property is
considerably less. being only about 100
feet. Under the circumstances. I
would like to arrange for the matter
to be reconsidered. as. of course. it is
a more serious matter to shorten the
depth of a lot 100 feet long than a lot
