On Wednesday evening the bank was open ard lighted, many taking the opportunity to inspect the interfor and s=ee the magnificent equipment, providing every facility for the proper and expeditous handling of business. Classic Greek Architecture. In design the new Thames National bank building on Shetucket street, now completed, presents a beautiful exam- ple of the succeseful adaptation of classic Greek architecture to modern | requirements. It has heen the aim of the architects, the firm of Rowe & Keyes, of Beston and New York, to carry out, as far as possible, in the exacution of the bullding this ‘lassic | design, at the same time meeting in every way all the demands of a modern | bank. The facade, of West Townsend granite, chosen for its durability and| warmih of tone, vigorous and strong, | both in mass and detail, admirably | suggests solid! an attribute o* a na- | Use—Mmy Haxe Adm‘fled he Magnificent Bank- | directors’ tional bank. The carving in the pedi- THAMES NATIONAL BANK. ment has for the central motive the seal of the bank: on either side are| horns of plenty, expressive of wealth. | The models for this carving, as well as for the acroteria, the torch cresting Corinthian capitals and the doorway, were executed from the architec drawings by Hugh Cairns, well known for his work on Trinity church in Bos- ton and other notable building: capitals of the columns are par 1y worthy of mention; bzing of unusual | design and extremely difficult of exe- | cution, The lamps at either side of the rzn-l trance are archaic Greek Ionic, and are hea in harmony with the building, and form the necessary acceént to the epace between the columns. The main entrance doors of bronze are arranged when open to form the sides of ‘the vestibule. The ornamental grillz work and windows, between the columns,’| Greek in character, are well arranged for security and utility. Iluminated Name. The rear facade is of brick and terra cotta, with proper fenestration to af- ford ample light to the interior. On the main frieze of this facade is in- #cribed the name of the bank, arranged to be illuminated at night. The lower! windows are provided with strong iron grilles for security. The interior of the building through- out is of simple, dignified, classic de- sign. The main public space is rectan- r-.fl-’"‘, and the counter grille work is n the form of a hollow square. This arrangement was chosen as the one most convenient for the patrons of the bank, and at the same time the one eaffording the best facilities for con ducting the bank's business. Excellent Light Afforded. The walls of the main banking room ere trezated with belt course, pilasters and cormice, with appropriate panels.

I N. W. Kennedy, Formerly of Putnam. Now in lowa. One thousend. a full regiment, of Waterlool men, including men from all walks of life, ars now enrolled on the roster of Waterloo lodge, No. 328 | TLoval Order of Moose. and the time] which it has taken to corrall this great company into the inner circle is a little short of marvelous, says the Waterloo (Ta.) Times-Tribune. The organizar, Waldo Kennedy. has been in the city but a few weeks. and his work in organizing a lodge of the proportions of the Waterloo lodge of Loyval Moose has been an astonish- ment to all interested in lodge work. At a meeting of the lodge over two ! hundred new apolications were receiv- jed and a very large number of them were introduced to the workings of the order. Owing to the large membarship it is not unlikely that the Moose will be compelled soon to build a hall of their own large enough to permit of the proper entertainment of its mem- bars. Mr. Kennedy was formerly in the newspaper business in Putnam and more recently in New London. He is now ‘the department national organizer of this new order Vice President Phillips Resigns. i The regular business meeting of the | Young People’s union of the Central| Baptist church was held gn Tuesday evening in Bushnell chapel, with Vice President Roy Phillips presiding in the bsence of President IT. herry. The ial reports were received and ac- cepted. Vice President Phillips pre- sentad his resignation on account of leaving the city and it was accepted with regret. After the bu ess meeting was over a short and enjoyable social hour was condueted, in which the feature was a spelling match. Tha last two left up on the opposing sides were Miss Flors ence Holloway and Miss Helen B.! Moore, and Miss Moore finally spelled | bher opponent down and was aw: arded the box of candy as a prize..
