A boat that has been many years in the building was launched on Sunday afternoon from the Edward Chappell company’s wharf into the west branch of the Thames. The craft under the guidance of Cesare Del Carlo slid into the water with a smboothness that might pessibly have been augmented by the expectancy with which it has long been awaiting the great event It is a 47 foot half cabin boat, with a beam of 15 feet, designed for sail with auviliary motor. It was built by the late H. C. Wright and it is to settle the estate that his widow has at length, through her attorney, R. M. Douglass, caused the boat to be placed in the water. A dozen years ago, It must have been that Mr. Wright be- gan to work on the frame of the ves- sel, which was to be staunch and sea: worthy and looks today as if properly equipped, it would stand a transatian- tic voyage: Assisté@ by George Bishop Church, who also now is dead Mr. Wright spent much of his spare time for years on the craft that he never saw sailed. On Falls avenue, opposite the industrial building, was the site of the boat building operations, and as the boat progressed, over it was erect- ed-a shed as a source of protection from the elements. The death of Bis- hop Church called a halt to the work some time ago, for although he was not interested in the boat, as far as actual ownership was concerned, Mr. ‘Wright depended on his cooperation to @ censiderable extent. Mr. Wright died last spring in Stamford, and the boat representing his labor of years, proved to be the chief material holding of this world’s goods that he left be- hing him. Consequently a number of attchments were placed upon it, and after advertising locally and with boat builders without result, his widow determined to place it in the water rather than let it remain any longer high and dry on land and subjact to dry rot in its boat shed. As a matter of fact the craft looks as staunch and new as if it had been bulilt last win- ter. Mr. Del Carlo started the work of moving the big boat on Saturday morning and the work went along smoothly though slowly until she hit the water late Sunday afternoon. On rollers it was pulled out over Falls avenue and its passage over the car tracks on West ‘Main street into the coal yards was nicely timed and so ex- peditiously carried out that the trolley. schedule was not interferred with. The boat had about twenty barrels’ of cement in her bottom for ballast. Mr. Del Carlo said, and all in all it weighed about ten or a dozen toms. The launching of the young ship made an interesting sight for hundreds of look- ers on during the ddy. The report that the boat had been sold to a New Haven man was not confirmed. Agency Company from Nish, Servia, under Sunday date SUFFRAGIST SALE, About $50 Realized to Be Sent to Mi souri—Silver and Jewelry for the Melting Pot. The woman suffragists had Saturday as a sacrifice day all over the coun- try, and Norwich did its part by hold- ing a sale, the proceeds from which are to be devoted to the cause in the seven campaign states. There was a big patronage and the cake, candy, ice cream, flowers and other articles were all sold out by noon. The proceds of about $50 will be sent for the campaisn in Missouri. Mrs. John L. Mitchell was in charge of affairs and one of the features was that many old trinkets, jewelry and keepsakes of gold and silver were con- tributed for the melting pot, one of ihe picturesqune methods that has been adopted for raising money by the na- tional suffrage campaign committee. The tables and grounds at the sale ‘were attractively decorated with the suffrage colors, green, white and pur- ple, with banners and flowers by Mrs. Albert A .Chase.

Griswold Camp Rolled Up Score ofi 513 on the Targets at the fine show: score of 4 to 3. Then New London proceeded to trim Willimantic camy with a 7 to 5 score. Ashton of Willi- mantic got the fungo bat and Burdi‘'k of New London and Turner of Nor- :‘1:: also got bats for making the most The athletic events turned out to be well contested, and here Willimantic ed up stronger than Norwich, par- ticularly in the 75 yard dash, although New London by three points copped first place. The points went as follows, first place counting five, second three and third one: (200 _pounds)—New London 5, Norwich 3, Willimantic 1. Tug of war—New London 5, Norwich 3, Willimantic 1.

Chadwick and Utley, both of New London, ran up scores of 47 apiece, with Chappell of Willimantic pressing them hard with a score of 46.

He claimed to have been born in Plymouth, Mass., in 1796 His father was a veteran of the war of 1812, and he himself served through the Civil war, enlisting .in St. Louis in the commissary department. Captain Diamond had been for some years pas ta resident of the San Fran- cisco home for the aged. In writing to a Norwich friend recently he mention- ed that on July.16 he was confined to bis bed by illness, the firs: time ian Permission to extend the trcks of the Shore Line Electric company from Backus corner at East Great Plain out along the Salem turnpike 1600 feet in order primarily to provide better ac- commodations for people going to the New London County fair was granted by the selectmen at a hearing held in the selectmen’s office on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. First Select- man Albert W. Lillibridge presided, A. S. Spalding acted as clerk and Se- lectmen Willam B. Wilcox and Charles P. Bushnell were on the plat- form. Engineer Shepard B. Palmer' ex- plaining the layout, said that the ex- tension of the track would lie at one side of the road and would not affect the macadam, although the concrete bridge that the town is building near the Ford icehouses woud have to be widened. The widening woud be borne by the trolley company. In reply to 3 question by John P. Murphy, Mr. Palmer said ‘that it is 4500 feet from the corner to Maplewood cemetery. Mr. Murphy stated that people could mt understand why the trolley line has not been extended longe before this time to the cemetery and he was about to delve into the his of this failure and the causes therfor when Rutherford C. Plaut rose to the point of order that the meeting was to dis- cuss a trolley extension and not cem- eteries. Mr. Murphy though that strangers who come to the fair could find a way to get there. In favoring the extension Willlam W. Beckwith said that the agricul- tural soclety is not in it. He figured that an extension of 1600 feet would be so much toward lengthening the trol'ey line out to Maplewood. He sald that if there were a track into the fair grounds Morton F. Plant would send his cattle to the fair. Mr. Pal- mer said that the cars will cover the extra 1600 feet dally after it is built. ‘Washington Holt, superintendent of the cemetery. spoke In favor of the extension and he was complimented on his stand for progress by Mr. Planut who prophesied that the future will see the road extended to the cemetery and on to Gardner Lake. President Perkins said that the ex- tension wil not add to the income of the trolley rogad but Selectman Wil- cox thought that it would. Select- man Lillibrodge considered that the extension would benefit the trolley road and that when it is extended into the fair grounds there wil be an even greater benet. The selectmen held a short conference and then their per- mission was granted. CAPT. DIAMOND many years that this experience had come to him. His diseasé soon devej- oped a quite serious case of shingles, from which he had suffered acute'y, but he wrote that he was resting com= foatabl yand there seemed a goud prospect that he would escape the hu- miliation of ending his long I b what he called “simply a bib disease. Captain Diamond was probably the oldest bachelor in the worid. He was a disciple of right living and his own description of his life was that it was “single and singular.” In a little book~- let of his JMfe the captain furnished authentic data of his place of birth and places of residence, his travels, occupations and evidences of infirmity at 65 which he overcame by a com- plete change in his habits of Hving. He had taken no stimulants, not even tea or coffes, and had eaten no meat in nearly 90 years, and for over 65 years had used pure olive ofl internally and externally. At the age of 104 he wrots that his experience justified the opin- ion that a man could live into the sec- ond century of his life and enjoy it all the way through with the bound of rising youth—retaining every ana retaining évery experience.
