John O'Sullivan, The price for which “Mr. O'Sullivan agrees to give a warrantee deed of this beautiful shore location, free of all in- cnmbl'an'cetl. and including the hotel. with all the furnishings and fixtures, (with the exception of the bar and the stock of liquors), the barn,‘liheda, etc. is 835,000. At the point is a water Mutant of 1,500 feet, 105 bathing . houses and a bathing beach that can be put in the best of condition with but little attention. The present project to organize a permanent Norwaik Country Club was brought about by the notification prom Boardman Burchard. something/yer a week ago, that he will cape an in- 'creasc in the rental of The Knob grounds the coming seasOn from 81,. 350 to 81.800. which it is felt cannot be accepted by The Knob Outing Club without raising the yearly dues. At this price, even. there is no assurance that the rental figure would not be in- creased. and there havg been frequent ' rumors that the whole Burchard prep- crty was about to be sold. As a result sevpral prominent members of The Knob got together and talked the alt- uation over, finally deciding that the best thing to Ofnnder' the circumj stances would he to find some good shore location that would be available for an enduring country club. as well as one easy of access. Domini Bolnt was finally suggested for such an organisation and the pro- portal ‘met with instant favor. won the rapid crystulisation of sentiment, in favor of the new organizatio throughout’ihe town, the outlook is a decidedly bright om,- und that the pro jcct will be a success seems already assured. ireut. enthusiasm is being displayed and it is expected that dur- ing the next few weeks all of the stock ' for the proposed club will be sub scribed for by residents of the two cities and the Town of Norwalk. The detailed plan of organization has not yet been dcuvrmined. but these mat- ters will be fully decided upon at an , early date. it is admitted everywhere that Dor- lon'a Point is an ideal location for the proposed club, and that it will be- come a popular rendezvous for auto mobillsts from far and near it; uh- doubted. With this idea in view New Yorkers and others will be invited to become associate members of iho Nor- walk Country Club, as is done in minor places, 'l‘hat nmny will be glad of an opportunity’to lake such membership noes without saylnu. for who run out from the city is oi just tho proper length to be desirable.

On the strength of the descrip tion, Chief Brennenmnd Hellcrnan took in custody in Barton, Saturday noon, as they were returning from New Canaan. Thomas Kennedy and Daniel Hamilton. Both are from Bridgeport, and they are known in police circles as hoboes of the Yegg type.

West, the first witness. took the stand, said his clients main: lain that the place could not be profit. ably conducted without selling liquor. Dr. West said he had practiced since 1900. lie saw no reason why the place is not a good one for a drug- gist's license. There is no absolute ne- cessity for a drug store at the point in question, but it would be of great convenience for all of the people of the neighborhood. Witness said. upon question. from Mr. Walsh, that var- ious other kinds of business are rep» resented in. that neighborhood. Mr. Light asked how far the place In from the Clifford Pharmacy. "About a quarter of a mile," Dr. West replied. Dr. West said he has considerable experience in treating people of the neighborhood. He said he is the physician of an ltaiian so- ciety and was summoned by lamonv geili.

He also said he had run the Wilson Drug Company's store, just along side the Cheney mill. In reply to Mr. Light's question, Mr. Wilkinson admitted that William Lemongslli had no experience in the drug business.
