It seems a little odd at first sight
;,,,,lh=tt the “steaming trophy" of the
‘i‘ound-the-world battleship iloet should
be won by one of the oldest. of the
' vessels, the Ohio. ,The award is based
upon record of the whole voyage for
economy in coal and water consuiup
tion. The natural supposition would-
be that the newer ships were superior
' in' all important points-and compara-
". ‘tive coal oconbmy is ccntainly counted
'* important. In view of the moderate
W'ayen'sgo speed adopted, however, the
‘ "oldest ships might not necessarily be
at-a disadvantage in the respect in

. Mr. Costello, in speaking for the
management in South Norwalk, stated
that Dorando’s only reason for not put-
ting in an appearance last evening
was that he sprained his ankle recent-
ly. in one of his races, and hennighi.
run a ‘chance of being beaten if he
came to Not-walk, which would spoil
his *chances of picking up some loose
coin in. the different cities where he is
Scheduled to race, and probably lose
his reputation. When the aforesaid
Veiaiement was made. by Mr. Costello,
the crowd in the armory began to di-
minish, as most of the people who
journey but in the snow expected to
[soothe great Dorando and were thor-
oughly disgusted.
"There were two races rim, one of
wenty‘miles. and the other race, com.

strange. This morning it was given
out that a prominent Bridgeport brew-
ing company had been negotiating
with the Croi‘ut & Knapp Company for
the purchase of their plant. A prom.
inont official of the. C. K‘. K. Company
bud not heard the rumor until asked
about it by a newspaper man. He
characterized the report as untrue.
Another report. was to the effect that.
the (l. & K. Compunyhns six Pinker-
ton detectives on the job for the pur-
pose of getting evidence, should any
insults or other disturbances be inv
tiicted on their employcs. This was
also set down as uniruc ill. the oilieo.
The police ofllcials have not yet
made any appreciable progress in
solving the mystery of the identity of
the parties who assaulted three (2. d.
K. workmen in West. avenue Tuesday
afternoon. it was learned today that
the pelicc have not yet, received any
warrants to servo. The impression
seems to be that this will bl- iiie nud-
ing of the matter.
The ladies of the Trimmcrs‘ Assoc-
iation hold another roll call yesterday
afternoon and the oilicers were very
much pleased to learn that the ranks
continue strong as ever. At the con-
clusion of the roll call, practically all

NEWS STILL CHEERING.
Progress Toward Possible Settlement
Being Made Today.
For a. number of days the Dnnhury
Ncws’ review or the batting situation
has had .u trend to the effect that
there is a possibility of an early set-
tlement of the. trouble. Last evening
the News said:
While details of the manner in which
an adjustment of the trouble in the
batting irndo may be bronzht about
are still us much lacking. so for as any
authorized statements are concerned,
as they have been since the situation
took on ii more holiefnl aspect early
in the present week, it was learned
this afternoon from sources of un-
questioned authenticity that the pros
pact of a settlement, seemed brighter
today than at any previous times since
the local citizens' committee began its
efforts in that direction.
A rumor that was extensively circu-
oirru institute" EVENING summer.
veyed the impression that the business
of the conference had important hear-
ing upon the possible settlement of
the. difficulty.
The executive board and the advi-
sory board of the United Hatters of
North America are meeting in New
York today, and P. ll. Connolioy, soc-
i'elnry of the local association of bat
makers. who is a member or the ad_vi-‘
sory board, is attending the session.
President John A. Moiiitt said over the
telephone this noon that the meeting
was a business session, and that there
was nothing of especial interest to be
said [about it. Mr. Momtt said that
he could say nothing further about the
probability of an adjustment.
President Lynch, of the Hat Makers'
Association, said this afternoon, that
he did not understand that there had
been any change, in the general situa-
tion, so for as related to the possi-
bility of‘nn adjustment.
A feature of the present situation
that Daubury and Bethei should and
do take pride in is the air of calmness
and quietness that has characterized
everything that has been done by the
four thousand or more people who
have been unemployed for seven
weeks. These conditions have attract-
ed outside nttentlon, and have won
praise and commendation everywhere.
From Bethel comes the news that
the von Gal Brothers, who are to man-
ufacture hats in the Grassy Plain
school building, which has been fitted
up as a factory, have commenced to
get out samples, and that seven lathes
will be operated in start Willi.

Union are being entertained at a com-
plimentary concert. and dance in the
Library place rink this afternoon.
with the. Dunbury band as hosts. Yes-
terday afternoon many of the trim-
mers accepted the, invitation of the
Taylor opera house to attend the mov-
ing picture entertainment there, with-
out expense.
The. i’nintors’ Union of this city, has
voted to assess each member ten cents
a week for the benefit of the United
Hatters, the assessment to continue
until the present trouble is settled.
News from the other halting dis-
tricts contains nothing that has any
very important bearing upon the gen-
eral situation.

When the decision of the Manufac-

was subject to its rules, one of which
is that each member is bonded in the
sum of $20,000 to live up to the rules.
Since then the firm was reorganized as

. I-lOYT'S THEATRE. ,
The show for the last three days of
this week is more than up to the
standard. The show opens with Cot!-
man & Carroll, in a. black-face skit in
which there is some good comedy
work. Ray Murray, the favorite, had
to respond to several enoores, during
which the union trimmers joined in,
the choruses and made it seem like
a home party. Clifford & Hall, the
German and the lady, have an'excel-
lent act that more than pleased. Miss
Nellie Lytton is a sure enough cure for
the blues. The life and vim that she
puts into her specialty and the imita-
tion of Eva Tangiiay is as crazy. if not
more so. She was certainly one oftho
big hits of the hill. Hines & Reming-
ton were the usual big riot, keeping
the audience in an uproar the whole
time. Martini & Flynn, comedy acro-
bats and contortlouista, closed the
show and were well liked in their late
position on the bill.
