Westport Fete and skiff race draw town support
The Fair Improvement Society fete at the old Catholic church, under Father Duggan, shows strong local backing with large donations from Norwalk and Bridgeport residents. Expected three more days of events, with booths including Turkish, Italian, French, and Japanese sections, and food stalls. The town improves with new concrete sidewalks, while missing youths Stuart Wakeman and Harold Spicer prompt searches. The Compo Skiff race was interrupted when a mast failed and boats assisted the leader’s craft. Dr. J H McArdie named manager of the local baseball club amid theft reports and saloon seizures by authorities.
