Address of Welcome—Mayor EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY OF 8. 8. STOCKING. Quartermaster Sergeant of Sedgwick Post as Busy as Ever. Not many who wers present at the campfire of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, last Friday evening guessed thai it 'was also the celebration of his §0th birthday for Quartermaster Sergeant 8. 8. Stocking, who was actively serv- ing ‘on the entertainment committes with Quartermaster Charles F. Geer and Adjutant George Kampf. Those who happened to know congratulated bim upon the vigor with which he Is still blessed after fourscore years of active life, and wished him many more of health and helpfulness. Quartermaster Sergeant Stocking's first introduction to Norwich was when he was about 1 year old, his paren at that time moving here from Mar chester, Conn., where he had been born. They lived at the Falle and later in Greeneville, Mr. Stocking growing up to young manhood here and learn- ing the cabinet making and upholster- ing trade. In '54 ho was married, his bride belng Miss Carter of this city. Their golden wedding anniversary date was passed six years ago, and there scem prospects Yor many more anni- versaries. About the opening of the civil war Mr. Stocking was in Boston and a member of the crack Ninth regiment of that city. The regiment enlisted entire and became the Fifteent Mas- sachusetts, selecting a gray uniferm exactly like that of the famous Sev- enth of New York. Mr. Stocking still has several pieces of ~ the uniform which he has preserved. For the first sixteen months he was commissary of the regiment, then quartermaster ser- seant, and later quartermaster, when he resigned at the end of two years and a half and entered the govern- ment service in Washington under Commissiary General Rutter. Here he was about {wo years, returning then to Leominster, Mass. where he went into Dbusiness ‘with a partner in the furniture business. After the death of his partner he went to New York in 1866 and was there for 28 years. Most of the time he was in charge of 2 large furniture warehouse, and the Jast eight years in business for him- self, having the patronage of the very Dbest trade in the metropolis. Tn 1892 he retired and returned to Norwich, where he. has since lived, and s one of the best-known men in Grand Ar- my circles, as he has been in charge of the post home, the Buckingham Me- morial, for many years. AT BROADWAY THEATER. Choice Vaudeville and Interesting Mo- tion Pictures. Broadway theater has a big_attrac- tlon this week in the Schaar-Wheeler trio comedy, sensatfonal bicyclists. The two men and a woman have some clever work which is most creditably done. and calls forth much applause throughout the act. They ride wheels in every conceivable position and do a triple_act riding their bicycles with only the rear wheels on the floor and waitzing about as if it was the most ordinary accomplishment. The comedy features of the act are excellent. It is easily the best bicycle act seen here. ‘Walton and Vivian entertain in their skit, The Actor and the Girl, and get a good hand for their comedy. The Ram- sey sisters furnish a pleasing number as the opener, having & line of bright comedy, while their playing on severul instruments meets with popular favor. Ernest Duplille opens as i coster singer and handles the role well, and later ap- nears with good results in songs and jokes, which strike a responsive chord. Starting this week the daily change in plctures went into effect, and this feature promises 10 be a big card for the house. There were big audiences at all three shows Monday. "‘"‘.2“.’.‘:...
