Friday morning a 1'egula1 prize fight
according to the approved code of
pugilism, came off in the sizing room,
of Adams hat shop, between Charley
Hoyt and Milton Peck. It was hot
and heavy for about fifteen minutes,
there being four rounds. During the
fray there were two knock-downs, and
a Peck got 11p with a swollen nose,
which was, in spite of the thwack there-
on, somewhat smaller than a bushel
when the fight ended. Bad feeling had
existed between the combatants for
some time.
The contract for the laying of the

At the missionaly service in the M;

asked Editor Golden to pass the col-

at the pastor walked down the aisle to

urged him to pass the basket. It is
stated that the editor compromised
with a contribution of two dollars and
sank back in the pew with an air of re-
lief.

A handful of incompetent workmen

Officer Adams? Of the borough, and
”Johnny” Judge, a Bridgeport new s—
paper reporter, visited South Norwalk
one evening last week, and were in at-
tendance at a trial in the police court.
Miss, Mrs. 01' Mystery Margaret
Brophy, confined in one of the cages
below the court-room, attracted their
attention with her dulcet notes of “No,
no, I’ll never get drunk again.” The
reporter asked our chief for an inter-
view with the “lady,” which was
granted, and in company with Adams
was ushered into her presence. As the
chief unlocked the door he cautioned
them to leave it ajar, as it. was a self-
locker. Somehow the door shortly
after sprung to, and the interviewers
on attempting to depart found them-
selves locked in and unable to gain
egress. In brief they were in limbo
for half an hour, when fortunately an
officer attracted by their cries came to
their rescue and released them.

Two ladies living in Springwood, near
neighbors, engaged in a lively competi-
tion lately to see which one could make
the best window display of flowering
plants in pots. One succeeded finely,
but the blossoms failed to materialize
for the other, and, rather than be out-
done, she deftly secured a highly col-
ored assortment of paper posies to her
plants, which looked so much nicer than
the natural display of her neighbor,
that the latter gave up the contest and
removed her flowers from sight. ‘
