Founders' day, or the 255th birthday M the town of Norwich, began with a sunrise celebration Saturday, for Prof. 3. Herbert George ushered in the anni- versary by playing The Star Spangled Banner on the cornet at his home on Hamlin street, later breaking out O:d Glory to the breeze. In a short time houses and buildings in all sections of the town were displaying the Stars #nd Stripes. At 8.30 the bell of the Second Con- gregational church began pealing, and from all points the other bells joined in, the jubilant chorus lasting until 9 o'clock. Janitor Fields rang the courthouse bell during the same period. Children’s Celebration. Just before 3 o’clock an assemblage of children from the different schools ewaited Prof. George on the city hail steps, receiving song leaflets contain- ing the words of America, Star Span- gled Banner and Auld Lang Syne. At 3 Tubbs' band, John M. Swahn leader, from a temporary platform near the Central Baptist church, began its fine- 1y rendered programme. After the 1::.9"; number the children gathered ut the bandstand and sang Amer- ica. Then the excited and delighted crowd returned to the steps, where they received from Sergt. Maj. Leonard O. Bmith beautiful silk flags, each stamped “26th Regt.,, Cogn. Vols.” Mr. Smith's regiment, which was organized in Norwich. The flags were presented while Mr. Smith made this little ad- dress to the children: Mr. Smith's Speech. Children:' I am not going to make any formal speech to you, but before presenting these flags I want to say a few words fo explain why you are in- vited to sing and why you are pre- sented with these flags. This is Bene- factors' day, and you are invited to join in coldbrm:’ the memory of those who have conferred noted benefits upon the city or upon its charities and insti- tutions. Every citizen and every child Norwich Is enjoying the benefits of these munificent gifts and it is fitting that aill should set apart a day for ex- pressions_of gratitude in honor of ‘the givers. In presenti to you these flags my thought at t was meraly to give to you a souvenir of this oc- casion, but I am reminded that every Tegiment and every soldier "taking ap arms to preserve the union is entitled to be classed as a benefactor. ' This name upon the flag, “The 26th- Regt,, Conn. olunteers,” represents only one of many regiments sent from this vicinity, and it may interest you to know that the monument on the Little Plain at the head of Union street was erected in honor of their memory. This little flag Is presented to yom &8s a souvenir of this occasion. Will Provide Other Flages. Recognizing the fact that many children who did not sing ecame In and received flags, Mr. Smith has gen- erously agreed to nge with B. J. Graham to see that eaeh disap- pointed little singer will receive -flag later. The George’ ren sang under Mr. tion. . liver sat in | ‘The Norwich District Ministerial as- Sl Eaty Eohee e er t!

CHILDREN WILL WORK FOR THEIR PLAYGROUNDS. Will Raise $400 in Half a Mile of Pennies. This year the children of Norwi.h are to work for their playgrounds. The ‘members of the Playgrounds associa- tion have decided not to repeat tie flower market on the Roman steps. This (Monday) morning the school children start in to secure a half milet of pennies, which will mean over $400. This the children do voluntarily. Some of the ardent small folk did not ‘wait for today, but began filling the little pasteboard foot rules upon re- ceiving them Saturday afternoon. Bach rule holds spaces for 16 pennies and { the children appeared to have no dif- | ficulty in securing the coins. { This plan of ralsing money among the school children has been tried with success in other cities and it is be- lieved that it will be equally successful here. The teachers will collect the half a mile of pennies as they are fllled and turn them over to the women direct of the association, who are Mrs. J. D. Hall, chairman, Mrs. Charles L. Hub- bard, Mrs. Edson 8. Gallaudet, Mrs. ‘William H. Palmer, Mrs. Patrick J. Cassidy, Mrs. William H. Shields, Mrs. Charles D. Noyes, Mrs. James L. Case and Misa Elizabeth- B, Huntington. The men members of the public play- grounds association will contribute as usual this season; but it was thought the children would better appreciate the grounds and equipment if they were to work for them themselves. the band and seemed ‘interested aad well entertained.

Inwitations to six different granges have been extended by North Ston- ington grange for ‘“Neighbors’ Night” to be held there Friday evening. Each grange is expected to furnish several entertainment numbers. Norwich grange has already replied in accept- ance of the invitation and is to go by wecill trolley car on the Norwich and ‘esterly line, IT DOESN'T PAY It {s human nature to resent having something forced on you that you do not want. The customer who asks for a branded article by name has a right to that article. “Something just as good” nat- urally raises a suspicion against "the rekeeper. The customer may {w ly. The exercises began with an admirable programme by Walter W, Lang's orchestra of 10 pleces. The numbers were the fol- lowing: War March of the Priests from At- thalia, < ‘Mendelssohn Selections from Ernani, Verdi ‘What the Pond Lilies Whis Quartette from Rigoletto, Benefactors’ Day Booklet. As those attending the exercises en- tered the theatar, they were each handed a copy of the Benefactors’ day ‘booklet, prej )y the statistics committee, Willlam C. Gilman chair- man, and containing a long list of the benefactor of Norwich. The neat lit- tle booklet in its blue cover made a valuable contribution to the program of ‘the day and was perused with in- terest. As a number of copies of the issue still remain in the hands of Mr. Gilman, they can be obtained while the supply A bay ind_decarstive ever- greens were arranged on er side of the stage at tHe base of the prosce- nfum arch and on the chairman’s table was a beautiful basket of red roses gmboltc of Norwich, the Rose of New gland. speakers and Dr. Edward P. Brewer, upon whose suggestion the idea of Benefactors’' day originated, and First Selectman A. W, Lillibridge as a rep- resentative of the town. A male chor- us of 30 members, under the direction of Charles D. Geer, had seats behind the speakers and was heard in three finely rendered numbers in the course of the program. Their first selection followed the last number by the or- chestra and was Comrades in Arms (Adams). The accompaniments were played by Frederick W. Lester. Invocation and Introduction. Following the invocation by Rev. Dr. Samuel H. Howe, pastor of Park Congregational church, Chairman Brewer in a brief and appropriate ad- dress full of enthusiasm introduced the general subject of the exercises, referring to two previous occasions when he had stood upon this stage, once at the time of the dedication of the Masonic temple and again when he had the honor of introducing ex- ‘President Grover Cleveland to a Nor- wich audience. In connection with the enthusiasm he felt when the idea of Benefactors’ day first suggested by Dr. Brewer, he spoke of attending the 250th anniversary of the Norwich Free Academy and the profound im- pression made in hearing of what the founders of that institution had done. Norwich has had a great past, he said, greater than we realize, but the fu ture lles largely in the hands of this audience and in what we do will lie largely the character, the success and the glory of dear old Norwich. Mayor Murphy Ready Cablegrams. Chairman Brewer cbncluded by in- troducing Mayor T. C. Murphy., who, he said, came before this audience re- invigorated by the triumph of a re- election, and who he said he believed was honestly devoting himseif to the good of Norwich. Mayor Murphy’s subject was Donors of Our Monuments and in the course of his remarks he read cablegrams which had been exchanged between Norwich, Connecticut, and Norwich, England. The reading was greeted with applause. The cablegrams were as follows: Norwich, Conn., June 4, 1914. To/the Worshipful Lord Mayor, N ‘wich, England: Citizens of town of Norwich, Connec. ticut, celebrating its 255th anniversary and commemorating its founders aud benefactors, send cordial greetings. (Signed) TIMOTHY C. MURPHY, Mayor. ARTHUR H. BREWER, Chairman. WILLIAM C. GILMAN, of the Committee. The Reply. Norwich, England, June 5, 1914. Hon. Timothy C. Murphy, Mayor, Nor-: wich, Conn.: Norwich, England, appreciates and reciprocates daughter's greetings. Sends congratulations, with best wishes for continued prosperity. (Signed) JAMES ARTHUR PORTER, Lord Mayor. The mayor extended his sincere| thanks to all the men and women who had so generously contributed to Noc- wich during the years gone by and spoke of Uncas monument, erected in 1842 on Sachem street by the women of Norwich. Miantonomo monument ‘was erected in 1843, its location chang- ed in 1841, and finally placed on Sa- chem Plain in 1904 by the Connecticut Society of Colonial Wars. The Mason monument was erected in 1859 through John T. Wait, James M. Meech and John L. Devotion, and tae Soldiers' monument on Chelsea Parade throlrh a resolution by Governor and Senator Willlam A. Buckingham for an appropriation of not exceeding 15 cents on $100 of the grand list. Hon. John T. Wait and Judge James A. Hovey worked with Governor Buckingham on the committee having in charge i.s erection. Another monument was that on the Little Plain, erected to the 26th regi- ment by popular subscription, and completed by the efforts of committee which included L. O. Smith, N. D Sevin, William H. Bentley, Dr. Howard g:m, John T. Crary and William ¥, tes: The memorial fountain on the Little lain, erected in 1909, the bronze tab- to _the French soldiers in the old burying round at Norwich Town, un- veiled on July 4, 1901, and the gates at the old burying ground, dedicated on July 4, 1903, all under the auspices of Faith Trumbull chapter, D. A. R., ‘were all referred to. . ; Benefactors of Libraries. Benefactors of Our Public Libraries ‘was the topic upon which Gen. Willlam A, Aiken, president of the Otis library, lgokla first acknowledging feelingiy. the kindly expression Chairman Brev er had made of the gratification that General Alken's fellow citizens had felt in knowing of his recovery from a recent serious illness. General Afken went on to speak of J.nga Otis, who in 1849 wrote.to Rev. Dr. Boend of his intention to bequea‘h ing that the most cherished of any country are its children, and that it was of importance to home, church, country and state what train- ing was given to the yqunger genera- tion. The existence of public and pa- rochial schools and the Academy voi‘e the vonviction that the prosperity of the country depends upon education. ‘About 60 ‘years ago John Putnam Gulliver so-inspired the citizens with this idea that 50 of them united to found the Academy, and since that day hundreds bhave cortributed to its sup- port. No list of names could adequate- ly show the affection that went with these gifts. In these 60 years over three-quarters of a million have been given for the Academy and has repr:- sented a direct saving to the town of a large amount of money. More than 4,000 pupils have shared the oppor- tunity offered and have gone out to shed its influence. Through that infla- ence our benefactors still live. They have made an investment for better character and patriotism, whose divi- dends are better than gold, for they are shown in a richer character, a broader citizenship. One name Principal Tirrell said he would mention as typical of Norwica benefactors, that of William A. Siater, a man whose great heart was an in spiration to all. The generosity of our ‘benefactors is a standing challenge (o us to do our best part fer our country. The reference to Mr. Slater's name was fhe signal for a burst of applause. Benefactors of Our Parks. Hon. Joseph T. Fanffing, president of the park board, spoke upon the theme, Benefactors of Our Parks. In the oldest portion of the com- munity, he sald, our park system had its origin 185 years ago. This was in the setting apart of the Norwich Town ,Green and the green at Bean Hill. In 1797 Thomas Fanning, Jo- seph Perkins and Joshua Lathrop gave the Chelsea Parade, a civic triangle unmatched for beauty. In 1811 Heze- kiah Perkins and Jabez Huntington gave the “Little Plai and in 1859 Horace Walker and Avery Smith deed- ed the present Franklin street park. In 1875 Henry Bill gave the Laurel Hill park, and in 1906 the acre of land which ineluded the picturesque Meet- ing House Rorks was given by Willis Perkins, a gift that was amplified by Miss Sterry and some ladies of the rural assogiation. ‘The Lowthorpe meadows of about 12 acres were the gift of the Gilman family. Mohegan Park contains about 274 acres, of which 218 were donaled by Dr. John A. Rockwell, Rev."Leonard W. Bacon and family, Mrs. Henry L. Reynolds, Gen. Edward Harland, J. Hunt Smith and. a person who re- fuses to have his - name published, Charles Bard, the Misses Fannie L. and Edith M. Bliss and Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Bond of New London. Mr. Fanning referred to the superior beauties of the park to which some lines of Edmund Clarence Stedman aptly apply, which he quoted. and he said that he hoped before long the Shore Line Electric Rallway company might' be numbered among the bene- factors by extending its line to the park. This brought out appreclative ap- plause from his audience. Selection by Chorus. The Lost Chord (Sullivan) was rendered by the chorus with splendid tonal effect. Hospital Benefactors. Benefactors of Our Hospitals were spoken of by Winslow T. Williams, president of the Wm. W. Backus hos- phtal; who spoke of the 23 years of the hospital's existence and sald that all he could do was to thrown up his hards in attempting to express thank- fulness to Willlam A. Slater whose @ift of $375,000 and his influence in securing the gift of $140,000 from ! Willlam W. Backus had been the two { largest endowments to the hospital. oHe mentioned with appreciation the gift of $15,000 from the late John Ec- ! clés, and the services given by hos- pital visitors, clergymen, physicians, and those who furnish entertalnment for the patients. All were benefactors Qf the truest kind. The demands of the hospital are so great that con- tinued and increased support is need- ed to continue and increase its use- fulness to the community. He said he wishes to correct the impression that it was rolling in wealth and unable to spend its income for the-last year had closed with a balance of $150 in the running expencses. and it had been compelled to increase its rates, but they were still lower than any other institution in the state for the service rendered. Charitable Institutions, Rev. Charles A. Northrop, city mis- slonary, spoke earnestly upon the sub- ject Benefactors of Our Charitable In- stitutions describing what the United Workers had done in @heir 37 years of existence in which time they had handled $675,000, and had $250,000 in legacies, ranging from $50 to $75,- 000 as far as ‘bDenefactors went said it seemed as if eyvervbody wio ever amounted to anything in Norwich gave to the United Workers. now had $143,000 invested in fun: from which $6,000 income was derived $3,000 was derived from sale of arti- cles and $15,000 was spent yearly so that there was $6,000 to raise from the public contribution. In the first fourteen years legacies had amounted to $82,000 and in the last fourteen years to $173,000. Seven- teen men had given $170,000 and 35 women $80,000. Rev. Mr. Northrop was deeply af- fected as he made .reference to t gifts of Moses Pierce and the late John Eccles with which he closed, reading a poem descriptive of the great influence in helping the life of a child. Judge Greene Speaks. As chairman Brewer Introduced Judge Gardiner Greene to speak upon the topic Benefactors of Our Estab- lished Homes for the Aged, he made 2 eulogistic reference to James Liloyd Greene who contributed a barrel of flour. at Christmas to the wife or widow of ewv soldier in Norwich in the days of the Civil war, Greene spoke of the Eliza emorial Ho H’:{’I‘. n M i 3 of ufl"a_n Wi mit his attendance at the exercises.
