MAY POLES ON CHELSEA PARADE| All School Children of the Town to be Entertained There Next Saturday Afternoon—Welcome From His Honor, Mayor Murphy—West Side and Greeneville Districts Furnishing the Programme—Reward For Busy Litile Workers For the City Beautiful. Th driving about town with her hus- , a member of the committee on streets, Mrs, William B. Birge, chair- man of the gchools sub-committee of the City Beautiful association of the Board of Trade, has noticed children everywhere active, making little gar- dens, cleaning up' yards, efc. Since they were disappointed in not receiv- ing their Rose buttons at the court- house, because all the schools were then so busy with examinations, Mrs. Birge has devised another form of pleasure for the busy little workers. After consultation with Mrs, Charles L. Hubbard of the Playgrounds asso- elation, she invited the children of the West Chelsea schools and those of the Greensville schools to entertain all the other school children of the city, their parents and friends generally at 3 o'clock next Saturday afternoon on Cheleea parade. The West Side #chools, through Supt. J. B. Stanton, have consented to give their Maypole and folk dances on the park, while the Greeneville pupils are to sing. Folk Dances and Singing. On reaching Chelsea parade, where six Maypoles will be erected, all e children will be briefly welcomed by His Honor Mayor Timothy C. Mur- phy, who assured the committee that he would be pleased to tell the littie boys and girls of Norwich how much he appreciated their assistance during the clean-up week. Then the Greene- ville pupils will sing, probably Ameri- or some other patriotic selection, the Waat Side children will entertain with their pretty dances, the Greene- vifle pupils will be heard again in chorus, closing the children's part of the entertainment. Nasturtium Seeds for All the Children. | Then as the schools are being dis- missed a generous Norwich lady, a friend of the children, is to provide each child with a Nttle package of STEAMER CHELSEA TOWED FROM NEW LONDON Lost Wheel at New London Dock After Scraping Spiles at Groton. Bteamer Chelsea of the Norwich & New York Propeller Co., arrived here | Tuesday morning on her regular trip, | in tow, having lost her wheel while backing to make a landing at the dock | in New London. ‘The propeller was loosened while making a lan@ing at Groton before going to New London, probably catch- ing in some old spiling in the river | bed, which has been giving the boat a | lot of trouble. Some dredging has been done at the landing place in Grot- | on to deepen the water there for the | Chelsea, but on Tueeday the propeller struck the old spiling in the river bed. The boat was able to get across to New London all right under her own power, but while backing into the dock it was supposed the wheel drop- ped, although there is a possibility that it may still be resting up on the shoe under the keel A tug was secured to dring the doat up to this city, and she was also tow- ed down again in the evening, pre- pared to go on the ways at Riverside over night to have the wheel put om, The boat carries an extra on board and also had one coming by express from New York Tuesday night, Agent Arthur P.

YALE CELEBRATED VICTORY OVER HARVARD NINE Big Bonfire at Gales Ferry Crew Quarters Tuesday night. The Yale crews were given only light practice Tuesday, the varsity having a short brush with the fresh- men. The news of Yale's victory over Harvard at baseball was re- celved with joy in quarters at Gales Ferry, and a big bonfire celebrated the victory. With race day so close, there is i creasing interest in who may the Yale captain situation is uncertain. The return of Holladay Philbin to the varsity eight has raised his chances, Stroke Snow- den has made great strides toward the selection and is no wslightly ahead of the veteran Philbin. Should Yale win, Snowden, for stroking the eight to v tory, would easily be chosen. The fact that five members of the present Yale crew were members of the fresh- man crew last“year, which Snowden captained and stroked, is one of the reasons why he is warmly favored for the honor next season. | YALE WINS THREE-HOUR SLUGFEST, 9 TO 6/ Both Crimson and Bius Players Sen- sational in Fielding.

Slight Increase in Sales Shown Here for Last Week. A slight fain in real estate sales was made last week when there were eight sales against five for the same week last year. The mortgage loans were $23,400 and $23,800 respectively for the same weeks. Real estate sales in the leading towns of the state, as reported in the Commercial Record for the current weel total somewhat lass than for the like week of 1911, the figures for the week being 318, against 332 last vear The amount of money loaned on real estate security for the week, however, is greater than the previous year, the figures being $1,036,619 and $917,933% for 1912 and 1911, respectively. But five new ineorporations are re- ported for the week, with aggregate capital of $300,000. These figures are smaller than those for the third week of June last year and 1909, but greater than in 1910.

During the week building permits were granted in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford and Wa- terbury, to the number of 85,.for| buildings the estimated cost of which is $1,200,935, Of this amount $1,019,350 was for buildings in Hartford, . where one permit was granted for a struc- ture costing $900,000.

Has Private Wire to His Room at the Hotel. Chicago, June 18—“Im a better warrior than a prophet” said Colonel Roosevelt when he was asked his opinion of the outeome of the con- vention. That was all he would say tonight. Mr. Roosevelt directed his own bat- tle in the convention hall over a tele- phone wire. Hidden away in a room in his hotel, he spent most of the time with a receiver at his ear, listening to reports of his lieutenants and issuing orders in person. The wire over which Colonel Roose- velt gave his directions was so ar- ranged that no other person other than the colonel and the man at the Coliseum end of the wire could by any chance overhear the conversation. When the convention had adjourned, Roosevelt lenders hastened back and began a series of conferences with their chief which extended late into them tables of figures based on to- | day's developments which showed to | thelr satisfaction that they could not | be beaten; Colonel Roosevelt, they said after they had seen him, was pleased with the showing made on the first After the dinner hour a mrrmzf :nded on the Roosevelt headquar- | By nine o'clock the corridors and lobby of the hotel were filled with a solid, struggling mass of men and wo- men.

Y., there are brought up rusty old anchors and poon heads from the depths of the r¥er ooze, says the New York Press, these being relics of the days when the place was a famous | whaling station with ships in every sea haunted by the great mammals. In 1782 an association of seafaring men from Nantucket, Marthas Vine- yard, and Providence, R, I, bought the little settlement with a view to reviv- ing the whaling industry, almost to- tally destroyed during the revolution. At that time the shipping of Hudson was confined to one canoe, used as a ferry. In 1794 a shipyard was opened and vessels were built, purchased and fitted out. The first Hudson-built ship was launched in 1785, and a year later twenty-five big whalers were afloat. In 1797 a Hudson whaler, the American Hero, brought home the biggest cargo of sperm oll ever landed in this coun- try and in 1800 Hudson ranked third in the-state in commerce and was known in every seaport in the world. In 1815, however, she ceased to be a port of entry, and her maritime Inter- ests dwindled and ceased altogether in 1846 when her last ship, the Mar- tha, was sold and the odor of whale oil was wafted away forever from her wharves.
