clarcs Colonel Fitch. of line
Cont Arlilla‘y Corps
As a result of the tour of duty at
the forts in the New London artillery
district. just ended by the Coast Ar-
tillery Corps, it is likely that a strong
effort will be made to lengthen the
tour from ten day to at least two
Weeks. Col. Gilbert It Fitch, com-
mander of the Coast Artillery, intends
to recommend that the term he twrl
weeks. About every company com-
mander and commissioned officer in
the corps favors a lengthened tour.
Tell days is not considered a sufllcient.
ly long time in which to give the
men the practice they need with the
big guns. .
Col. Fitch arrived in Stamford
about 7 o’clock Saturday night lie
came down on the troop train with
the Ninth Company of Stamford. "i‘he
train was late in arriving because of
a (It‘llly ill getting the baggage over
from Fort Wright to New London.
The lowing company that was doing
this work was a bit slow about It.
Col. Fitch expressed himself as wall
pleased with the tour of duty. “A
splendid tour," is what he called it.
Practice at the Guns.
The practice at the guns was first
with the dummy ammunition, then
with subcalibrevthat is, with u very
small projectile—«and finally. the four
shots with service ammunition. Only
a. few of the companies got a chance
at the service ammunition.
*The tour of duty was remarkably
free from any cases of illness. None of
consequence was reported. and the
men had plenty of hard work. too.
However, they were not overworked.
as sometimes happens on a tour of
duty of this kind. For Instance, they
had their nights free. save on one on
casion when there was senrchlight
practice. lint this was so interesting
that It didn‘t seem like work. The
reserves. as the state troops are
called at the forts, tried to get Into
communication with the Olympia.
Chicago. Hartford and one or two
other ships of the United Stairs Navy
that Were. at anchor ill Gardiner ilay.
Then there was one afternoon de~
voted entirely to athletics. The rcglr
lotions require fills, but. an idea of
the enthusiasm of the soldiers may
be had from the fact that at each
fort about 850 was contributed for
prizes, half of this amount coming
from the regulars and the other half
from the reserves. Only one com-
pany of reserves was stationed at Fort
lillchie and in the games held there
the reserves didn't score a point. so, of
course all the prizes went to the
regulars. But. when the reserves were
leaving. Saturday, the regulars there
presented them with a fine silver lov-
Ing cup. an act of good fellowship
which was very highly appreciated.
Good Showiné’ In Athletics.
The reservcs' best showing in
athletics was made by the boys at
Fort Wright. At Fort Terry alld Fort
Michie the reserves didn't win any
events. but at Fort Wright they
scored 44 points to the regulars' 45
Of these it Ninth Company of Stem
ford got 26, and of their 26 points
William G. Nichols scored 20. So
Nichols was easily the individual
star. lie won about every event he
started ill. including the obstacle
race. and he brought home s long lips
of prizes. _ ,
The officers at Fort Wright showed
superior athletic skill. too. They
were challenged for a baseball game
by those at Fort Terry~regulars and
reserves—and they accepted the chal-
lenge. The game was played at Fort
Wright and it went ii innings, the
Fort Wright officers winning. 5 to 4.
The discipline of the men was ex
cellent, the only breach meeting with
summary punishment. Private Reilly.
of the Fourth Company. Bridgeport.
was the offender. He used profane
language to a non-commissioned oili-
cer and to Captain Bennett. command
er of the company. lie was placed
under arrest and ordered before a
summary court. and Saturday he was
fined SW and dishonorably discharged
from the service.

Employers' Liability Act and Billarll
Mailer In the Legislature
Next Week
HARTFORD, July 27.—-—'l‘he general
assembly resumed its sittings today
for what will be the record breakiux
length of time for the legislative body
to sit. The expectation has been that
this would be a week of hustle in or-
der to clear up the calendars so that
sdioumlnent might be brought about
next week, or as soon as the public
utilities matter was disposed of. There
Were many visitors at the capitol.
drawn there by expectation of spirited
debates in both branches. in the sen-
ate chamber the galleries were well-
filled and every seat available on the
floor was occupied. it was quickly
learned that Senator Barnum. chair-
man of the committee on lucorporw
Lions. and also of the special commit,
tee on pllbiic utilities commission,
would be absent for the week. This
brought consternation in many legis-
lators, who now are no opportunity for
u vacation while the \Viil‘lll weather
lasts. The sessions may be prolonged
through the mouth of August and pos-
sibly Info September. Unless Senator
Barnum has made a pair, It is thought
that action on the elnployers' liability
act, which has been called back into
the senate. unit on the Dillard matter,
on which there is disallreeiug action.
will be delayed until next week. All
incorporation matters on the senate
calendar Were tabled today. Senator
Semis was also absent. hilt he was ex‘
peeled during the day or tomorrow, so
there, will be no delay on judiciary
limiters The senate passed the bill
concerning district school houses.
which provides that school authorities
shall not be given state money if the1
school buildings in their district are
not in a i-omiition satisfactory to the
State Board of Education. Senator
Luther said that fills pressure was
bound to give sanitary schools ill the
country districts.
The not making an appropriation of
$6,500 for the committee on public
libmries for two years was passed, as
were the resolution for the organ-la-
iion of the Willimaniic and the South-
bridge Street Railway Company and
the not giving the city of New liondon
authority to lay and construct curbs
and sidewalks from any street in the
city where public necessity and con-
venidnce shall require the same. One
half of the expense of laying or con-
structing any sidewalk shall be paid
by the owner of the property in front
of which the Improvement is made.
Tile act will become operative when
accepted by the voters in a city meet-
ing. ,
The matter of incorporation of the
Biliard Company was not on the com
ate calendar today. It having been
laid on the table last week. it is due
to be called up tomorrow.

called to adopt what has been declared
by many residents to be a still more
objectionable Ilill, known as a substt

was given out, had the town counsel,
Attorney Edward Scotlcld, of Stain-
ford. draw up the substitute lllll, nus
thoring the town to buy the charter
of the Noroton Water Company and
issue bonds for the same which. in
the opinion of the special committee
of investigation and others. would in-
volve the town lll an expenditure of
at least 3500.000.
Selectman Fitch informed the meet-
Ing that he was In favor of the propo-
sition. He believed that It would be a
good thing for the town.
Representative Was In Favor.
Last night‘s tqwn meeting was call-
cd to order by Town Clerk Stephen R.
Hoyt and Robert S. l’urdy was made
chairman. After the disposing of the
call, Representative Charles William-
son made a. statement as to why he
had presented the bill authorizing the
town to buy stocks and bonds of the
Noroton Water Company. He had
copied the bill, he 'said, from one used
in the town of Soutllington. which had
bought stocks and bonds similarly.
According to Town Counsel Scofield
the venture had been rather disastrous
for Southingtcn. Mr. Williamson be-
lieved that water would be a good
thing for the growth of Darien.
Their Report Unfavorable.
ruary, the special committee, compos-
ed of C. W. Louusbury, J. A. Jenkins
and Dr. Smith was appointed to in-
quire Into the matter of getting a
water simply for Daricn and to report
at some future meeting. Mr. Loans
bury thought this meeting was a. pro
per time to make such a report as they
were able to. Selectman Fitch object-
ed on the ground that it was not in the
call. Mr. Lounsbury retaliated that a
speech that Mr. Fitch had made was
also not in the call. ‘
The meeting wanted to hear Mr.
Lounsbury and he proceeded and was
followed by Mr. Jenkins. The latter
declared that he had been unable to
get much information about the Noro
ton Water Company, being unable to
ascertain what they own. what they
want to sell and what their price is
for what they have to sell. He would
not advise the town to have anything
to do with buying any water comm

The Post Card Ballot.
The sentiment in the town seems to
be in favor of a public water supply
by some other means than buying out
the wetsucompuuy. though the special
committee of investigation sent out
700 post cards and of this number only
about .50 replies from taxpayers were
expressed as in favor of tile water
system. it was figured that the in-
come from these would be about 8600

The meeting at times waxed quite
warm.
SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION.

enjoyable excursion and a grand good
time. Make It a point to go and take
the children, and have a jolly, old fash-

Point is beautifully located upon bong
island Sound, near New Haven, and
the sail up the sound is a most delight-
flil one.
