The weather was perfect. Flags were flying, bands were playing, anl there were thousands of visitors thronging the narrow and somewhat crooked streets.

The Haddams. The history of the Haddams has been ciosely identified with the ea:i- jest of the state, and no towns have a bhetter record in the Revolution or the Civil War, than these two small | towns now celebrating their release from bondage. The first settlement was made in Haddam in 1662. The lands, together with those in Rast Haddam, were long known as the lands al Thirty Mile Isiand, now known as Haddam Island, but origin- ally called Thirty-Mile Island, from the suppositien that it was thirty miles from the mouth of the Connec- ticut. This island, which is about op- posite the Rock Landing House, con- tains a little more than elghteen acres. For years it was a resort of the Indians, and in the early 1800 one of the most famous shad-fishing places on the river. Its size bas been materially increased by the constru:- tion of a pier about ninety rods north of it in 1793 used for fishing. Tae sand washed down by the river Mas | accumulated between the pler and the island; and today they are nearly one. i Buying the Land. In 1860, the Colonial Court ap- ted Macthew Allyn aund Samuel 1llys & committee to buy the lands from the Indlans. For some reason the lands were not bought until 1§12, when for a consideration of thi:ty coats, worth at the most a bare $109, four Indlan kings, Sachusquatevema- pid. Keawaytahue, Turramuggus, and Nabahuett, and two Indian queo.s, 5 emo-pampoossame and Tow- transferrer to the Connecticut s of Hartford Colony as 1t was n known, all the lands from the straits,” just above Maromas, for six miles on ‘either side of the river, down to the lower slde of Pattaquo ik, now Chester Meadow, at the crodks or bends of Chester River, exc ing for their own use Thirty-Mile land, forty acres at Pattaguonk an Twenty-Mile Island, now Lord's TIs- land, off East dam, and a tract running _ up lnon ~ River cove. Twenty-Mile Island and the tract on Salmon River had been laid out for ten years as property of Capin John Cullick, for some time secreta:y of the Connecticut Colony, and about this time he built a house on it.
