JOLLY JOKER8 IN CONVENTION.
Orgahilhtlon from This Section Invad-
‘ Mod New, London Monday.
.Humbridts take notice!
A delegation of jolly jokers arrived
in town this morning!
The jokers are. to be distinguished
frOm ordinary folks by red badges
bearing the words “Jolly Jokers" and
are‘mo'stly of the gentler sex. There
are two or three men ill the Crowd
and this nray be where the joke comes
in, but the men'didn't sccm 'to think so.
The delegation arrived in town this
ton, Bridgeport and other towns ill the
state and are here to have a jolly good
time and to hold their first state llrect-
Ing. A Day reporter was at the Union
’Imtlon this morning when he baclunt:
attracted by the red badges. He looked
around for a while and after reading
the inscription wondered what [hit
joke was. He asked one of the throt-
men present what the excitement was
all about.
The man questioned pointed to one
of the women and said, "You“ II have
'to ask her. " '
Forthwith the reporter asked the
woman to explain the mission of tlm
Jolly Jokers ill New London. She
looked at the reporter and said “You
had better ask her,‘ pointing to an-
other wearer of red badges. The rt-
porter asked the .‘other woman point-
ed out and she turned to a cohlpanlor
and said, ‘Here's a man who wants to
know what we're doing here." .
The one referred to looked at tbc
nevvsphper marl with a smile such a.
one wears at a funeral when the one
ket is being lowered into the grnv
and remlined mute. The deal out
dumb language wasnext tried but to
no effect and turning to the woman
who had last spoken the reporter
begged to be initiated into the societ;
so that he could be able to under
stand such rich humor He was told
that Fred Peshhell of Bridgeport was‘
translator. Fred was sought and ex-i
'plaln'ed that it was his duty to trans
late postal cards.

The reporter is still wonderln ‘

thought it a great joke to keep him
wondering. if was suggested by a
bystander that there was s rummage.

with her silence under to. rapid tin

the reporter and took him for one of
the regularly initiated Jolly Jokers.
The state poet is Miss Grace Over

real jolly and explained that Sht

that that was a joke. The reporter
wished to be polite so he laughed

asserts that thc exceptions of the gov

WASHlNGTON. Sept. 10.—~'l‘llc. two
aeroplane flights made by Orville
'erght at Fort Myer yesterday. which
brbke all records for distance and
time, have aroused the officers of the
any to action. Secretary Metcalf was
one of the most enthusiastic specta-
tors. and Assistant Secretary New~
berry has been following the Fort
Myer tests closely. Lieutenant George
0- SWH‘I. 0! the Bureau of Equlplllcllt.
has been detailed to obsclvc the Fort
Myer tests for the navy.
Secretary Metcalf was asked of the
navy intended to buy an aeroplane as
a beginning in the application of
aeronautics 'to‘ that branch of the ser-
vlce.
"i cannot say what We might do." he
replied. “Of course we would need
funds for that purpose. There is only
one reason that i can see why Mr.
Wright's machine would be impracti-
cable for use in the navy. and that is
his starting apparatus. An officer has
been detailed to observe the flights
and what We do will depend largely
on what is learned from these tests."
lieutenant SWeet has been present
at nearly every flight of the Wright
neroplant at. Fort Myer and was so
much impressed by its performances
that he suggested that the Navy De-
partment keep in close touch with the
progress being made lrl aerial flight.
“The aeroplane would prove invalu-
blc lo llllvtll warfare," be r'elllarkctl to
an army olllctu' during Wright's flight
yesterday. "Mr. Wright's machine re-
quires a speed of 24 miles an hour as
an impetus ill or'dcr to rise into the
:lir. It would therefore require no
launching apparatus if it were started
from one of ”W scout cruisers which
makes 22 and 23 knots an hour. or
"lilout ’27 miles. it could fly over the
ndvuucc column of an enemy‘s fleet
and drop explosives or secure valuable
information.
"Instead of the skids which Mr.
Wright uses. for naval purposes. the
aeroplane could be fitted with two
water skids. similar to rowing shells,
so that it could Illlld on water. After
the machine. llladc a flight. it could be
brought alongside of the ship and be
