In the old Colonial days Neérwich carriéd on extensive commétce with the West Indies, but for at least nait a century has been known prineipally for its manufaetures. In thé suburb, Taftville, is a cotton mill which was oncé the largést in the country. The manner in whjch the preparations for this week’s ofservances were made furnishes a fine exammple of energy and taste for many a larger city. It illus- trates anew a spirit of entérprige, of which one of several other eévidences is the fact that the first buildin; fl! in this country erected selély by and for the use of Free Masbns was put up in Norwich. Add to these erédentials the circumstance that bécause of its beau- title of “The Rose of Naéw England.” and you will begin to realize why Nor- wich thinks#its anniversary worth cele- brating.—New York Trilune. Norwich’s Birthday. With the people down in Nofwich reminding themselves and all of New England of the days of the settlerhent of their town in the regions of the Pe- quots, 250 years ago, and the people of the states of Néew York and Vermont and the Canadlans of the Laké Cham- plain region reminding thémselves and the whole continent of the discovery. 300 years ago, of the beautiful sheet of water for the control of which the Frénch explorer and colonist fought the Iroquois With his allies of Hurons and Algonquins, there is likely to bé 4 re- yival of information regarding éarly Indian history. The Indian pageantry of this fart of the country has too long been 1aft to the promoteors of willl west shows. The celebration at Nerivich, with its features of representations of local tribes of New England, and the plcturesqié performance of the legend of Hiawatha in conneetion with the Champlain celebration, prove how casily and properly such reminders of the early days of the eolon¥s imuy re made to furnish material for reprodv - tion in_connection with medern holi- days—Worcester Gazette. Great Doings This Week. Tt's rathér a pity that two such at- tractions as our Norwieh’s birthday party and the Laltée Champlain pa- gants should ecome along together, residént Taft means to have a look in at both, but not many of the rést of us will be abie to manage that. Lake Champlain was discovered be- fore Norwich was born, It's a mighty interesting plece of water, too. Our Norwich hld a mou or less narrow escape n‘ lhro\llh life as Mohigen, Moh ‘Mohegan.

The first settlement yas at what is now called Norwieh To the eenter of the present city is a m!e or two away, at the junction of the Yantic and Shetucket rivers, which unite to make the Thames. The first houses were log huts; the city today is a typical American town of substantial construction. It is by no means a_“boom” town, being off the main roads of travel; but it has a large manufacturing environment, which in- sures its material prosperity, while it has lately become a trolléy center, with linés stretching far into Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Norwich manufactures firearms, cot- ton and woolen goods, silk, ironware, leather and belting, stoves, furniture and many kinds of machinery. It is the seat of a famous Free Academy, and has an exceptionally good art muséum, a library with thirty thou- sand volumes and a_half-million dol- lar hospital. It has been the home of a number of well known Connecticut families, and prides itself upon them, and, indeed, uyon all its historic past. —Providence Journal.
