Laying aside the legal question, Judge Gaffney felt that it was unwise to make the proposed change. He recalled that such a proposition was made years ago and for very good réasons was soon dropped. Mr. Erwin left a fund for the establishment of a home for aged and Indigent women residents of New Britain. He did not specify that it should be called the Erwin home. The matter was left E.nd Judge Gaffney thought that it mlsht be that Mr. Erwin had the thought in mind, but through modesty did not specify it. New Britain has other parks in the making and Judge Gaffney felt that the city might ap- propriately name one in memory of its chief benefactor. Professor Camp Opposed. _ Professor David N. Camp, New Britain’s grand old man, when asked his opinion on changing the name of Halnut Hill park to Erwin Park, hes- itated not an instant in expressing his views in opposition. “I would hesitate considerably be- fore making the change. While 1 think and personally feel that Mr. Erwin is deserving of a great deal of credit and recognition for his gift which made it possible to improve the park and make it as attractive as it, is today, there are other gentle- men who were as instrumental as he fessar Camp. Continuing, he remarked that, true Mr. Erwin did much, but then again there are others who ' have contributed their share. Such ra2n as Dr. Woodruff, Fred Stanley, Dr. Brown and William H. Smith did a great deal for the city of New Britain. I think that at the time of the pur- chasing of the park Fred Stanley, who was then mayor of the ¢ity, did more towards securing it than Mr. Erwin as he occupied a public position and was therefore able to do so. At that tipme Mr. Stanley’s idea was to secure it for a waterworks more than for a park. “Were Mr. Erwin living today he would, I feel sure, be most strongiy opposed to changing the name. Ele was a close friend of mine and T know it would be farthest from his wishes. Mr. Erwin was a very mod- est man and did not wish to have his name made conspicuous.” Concluding, Professor Camp said, “it s we give | ! “It is true that he did much for the city but it would be an injustice to the other men to have the name changed.” Would Hesitate. Frank H. Johnston of West Main street, president of the Connecticu: Chamber of Commerce and an ex- president of the old New Britain Business Men’'s association, has the following to : - “I believe 'here is a good deal oi merit in the claim that the Erwin name should be given recognition if any change from the name Walnut Hill park is to be made. Howeve if 1 remember correctly our first. mayor, the Hon. Fred J. Stanley, a progressive and far sighted citizen, made the park possible by a gift of land and the laying out of the grounds and to him should be given credit for this greatest of playgrounds. “The name Walnut Hill park is so associated with those of us who have always lived in New Britain that T should regret personally to see any change whatever made.” ‘Would Have to Consider Matter. President Alix Stanley of the Stanley Rule & Level' company 18 not prepared to state his opinion on the proposed change without giving the matter thoughtful consideration. “1 have heard considerable talk about it at different times but I am not prepared to say off hand just what my views on the subject would be. 1 would have to give the matter care- ful consideration,” he stated. Favors Change in Name. Chief William J. Rawlings of the police department is strongly in favor of changing thc name. “I think it ought to be changed. If ever a man's name should bs perpetuated it is that of Cornelius B. Erwin,” he says. Let Well Enough Alone. ('fit._v Clerk A. L. Thompson called to mind one of his favorite mottoes, when asked ‘his opinion as to chanz- g the name of Walnut Hill pa+k. He said: “Let Well Enough Alone”. Colonel Thompson felt that this mot- to aptly answered the proposal. M Erwin was indeed a great'man. com- mented Mr. Thompson. I believe in honoring his name and memory, sut let it be done in some other way. Walnut Hill Park has stood the tesi of time. The name is half a century old. It stands for something, let it continue.” McCARTHY-ZIMMERMAN. The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Zimmerman and John A. McCarthy was largely attendea from St. Joseph church at 9 o'clock this morning. Patrick Daly performer the cere- mony and Miss Angeline McCarthy, a sister of the bridegroom, was brides- maid. hest Miss Margaret Sullivan presided at the organ and Miss Laura Farreil sang during the ceremony. A fea- ture of the event was the floral decor- ations, the church altar being cover- ed with beautiful flowers.

Russians’ Position Perilous. As yet there is no proof that the Germans have withdrawn or are pre- paring to withdraw any considerable ! the | proportion of their forces from eastern front. On the contrary, the offensive which led to the fall of War- saw has not been relaxed, and the po- | sition of the retiring Russians is still perilous. Fartial dismantling of Vilna, paratory to evacuation, from Petrograd, is somewhat puzzling to British commeéntators, inasmuch as the Russians assert they have re- pulsed German attacks around the fortress of Kovno, which is sixty miles northwest of Vilna. The Zeppelins reported yesterday over Holland, sailing in the direction of the Scottish coast, have not been heard from. Allies Land Constantinople, Aug. 9, Aug. 11, by Wireless Telegraphy to Sayville, N.
