(Special to The Bulletin.) Ne¢w London, June —The Yale-Har- boat races on the Thames is an old to.New Londoners and but very lit- interest is- taken locally in this big : event. In the old days there was + difference in ¢ ons .and every awaiting the com- e night before to townie was on ( ng of the big c \- N the races. 1In the big parade and sneral demonstration that {ook place afer the ra 1 there was regret when the collegians and their followers leparted and the city returned to the normal. Th after race celebrations were on such a hig scale that they ex- racted the teeth from the ordinary Fourth of July celebrations and they were finaily abandoned. Then, there was limited train aceom- modations and the people came to town lv and left late. 'Not so now. Special ns bring the big crowds in the morn- and are in waiting to take them back :s soon as the races are rowed.

This man_ Hill put a good ome! over on the late James G. Blaine whenj that gentleman was the foremost citizen | of the United States. Hill was in the; insurance business and erected a small} one-story wooden building in Main street. near State, for his office. He opend com- munication with Blaine telling of the construction of the new building in the husiness section and asked if . there was any objection to naming the new struc- ture Biaine Block, in honor of the typi- cal American citizen and that the city and the owner of the building would be like honored. Blaine sent back reply in appreciation of the honor, and the Blaine letter was printed in a local news- vaper at the time. That little building was known for jvears as the Blaine Block. Subsequent- ly the building was moved to another lo- | cation a little farther up Main street, | 2ddition made thereto and is now known as McMullen’s smoke shop. Mr. Hill re- | tired from active business several years ago. He is one of the oldest members of St. James' Episcopal church. The court of common council has au- thority under the charter to enace ordin- jances for the conduct of city business, nd that includes ordinances for the reg- | alation of traffic. =~ The council ‘ has adopted an ordinance for the regulation of jitneys, so-called, which requires them to keep off Montauk avenue when plying their business, and go to Ocean beach by ,way of Peauot and Ocean avenues, and' to keep away from upper Bank street | on the down trips and to make only speei- | fied stops in that street on the up trips. | This action was taken to relieve the con- traffic safée in Montauk avenue, and, in-| cidentally, to give the trolley company a square deal. The ordinance is strongly by Mayor Morgan and is ap-| the great majority of ctti- The traffic ordinance did not suit the jitneymen, and they circulated a petition n protest. requerted that the whole mat-| j *or be referred to a city meeting to be seld in the evening that the opponents; | might be given opportunity to be heard. The petition received fhe required num- ber of signatures, and this matter is in-| cluded in the call for the city meeting to be held next Monday morning. The! petition is headed with the names of the| six aldermen who were opposed to the| adoption of the ordinance, and some of | m has stwngly advocated im the past anding by the majority vote of the court of common council. These alder- men were beaten in council meeting and it was generally supposed that they their medicine like aldermen, zood and true. This traffic ordinance is but one of the items of the special city meeting and by many believed to be of the least import- ance and opinion prevails that it reany has no place in c@’ meeting and ought to have been landed in the discard. That| ordinance may be ordered repealed, but {not if a bunch of fair-minded unpreju- that meeting, and diced eitizens attend tially on the site of the present parkiet, on condition that he be given the occu- pancy of the upper part for a store for a term of twenty years, with privilege of renewal after that time at rental of $5,- 000 a year. ‘This proposition is surely novel in its nature and ought to be thoroughly explained before action is tak- en in city meeting. The night before the college race was just about the same in New London as any other old night in the good old sum- mer time, barring probably that State street in the vieinity of the hotels was a trifle more lively by the* presence of col- legians, past and present. That hilarity that prevailed in the earlier days of the races. was missing, and whatever bet- ting there happened to ‘be was dome in private, and not in front of, or in the hotel lobbies. In fact there was no sem- blance of gambling to be seen. Not so in the old days when these races were a novelty and created much local interest. Then every vacant store was leased for gambling and games of chance, simply that and nothing more. Money wWheels, wheels of fortune, punching boards, and the like were run in the open, just as open as are these games played in the fairs held in the city. But the police put a stop to gambling of all sorts in con- nection with the boat races and an ele- ment of .intersst was Qxerehy removed. Now, none of thesc. games are played, not even the three-card-monte or the in- nocent little shell game, or shuttle board. This lessened the number of race follow- ers and took away all the night before excitement and interest. Now toy bal- loons, flags, souvenirs and the like are offered for sale, and that is about all that prevails in the so-called fake line. Even the grand stand ticket specula- tors have diminished in number, and, probably, ihe conditions are just as they should be, and the only attraction is the race itself. In the old days there was a grand stand on Winthrep Point, with music by the Fort Adams band and seats on the stand could be had for less than a dol- lar, and a dollar would buy a seat on the observation train. Now there is no grand stand, no band, and it spoils a V. to see the race from the ol ation train. There have been great changes in the general conduct of the races since the- time that James H. Hill worked Ly- man Baggs for a ticket on the press boat. Mrs. Clifford Eccleston and little daugh- ter, of Arctic. R. L, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wiseman. Home friends of Mr. and M M.

The subject for the day was Christian Fellowship, and during the morning seasion cach church was called upon to state if the four pre- ceding fellowship meetings had proved of sufficient real value to warrant continu- ing the six chutch fellowship. The replies were unmistakably in favor of their con- tinuance. Rev. Mr. Pratt had the morn- ing topic, Christian Fellowship Among Individuals and How. to Improve It in Quality and Qudntity. As Mr. Pratt was on a vacation, Mr. Davies presented the matter, following scripture and prayer by Rev. Mary Macomber. After the noon cottage for the season.
