The storm of yesterday afternoon
prevented the Sound steamers from
making their usual trips. ,
The steamer Harlem, which leaves
New York before the other boats, came
well up the Sound. but was finally ob-
liged to put back to Cow Bay. The
steamer Shady Side, which runs to
Stamford, also put in there, and the
Rosedale put in at a grove some uls-
tance below. The steamers remained
in call night. .
T e Harlem reached South Norwalk
this morni at 5 o'clock. There were
but twenty- ve passengers on the boat.
although a much larger number came
to the piers in New York ready to em-
bark. The boat .ofilclals notified them
that there was some doubt about ,the
boat making the trip, but twenty-iive
people decided to come. The steward,
Joseph Lockwood. provided all with
supper, refusing to accept any compen-”
sation, and all the ofllcers made things
as comfortable as possible for those on
board. Several went to sleep in the
cabin. Freight was unloaded and ta-
ken on in South Norwalk, and the boat
wont to New York as usual today.
It. is said to be the first time in sev-
enteen years that the passenger steam-
er of the New York and Norwalk
' Steamboat Company has been forced’ to
abandon the trip up from New York
and take refuge on Long island shores.
A passenger on the boat. describing
the exciting scenes and incidents of the
trip, said this morning.
"The steamer lei New York at the
regular time. no 1 at the foot cf
East Thirty-first .et at 2:40 p. m..
where some of i ; passengers who
came aboard at Beekman street gave.
up the trip and went ashore. There
"was then some doubt in Captain Wil-
son's mind as to whether it would be
possibbie to brave the storm. which
had been blowing great guns on the
Sound all day. but after making the at-
tempt he did not wish to turn back
unless forced to. At 4:15, about two
miles north of Execution Light, the
full force of the storm was encountered
and after the steamer had plunged her
nose through several immense wavos
which made her strain in every joint.
she was carefully brought about and
headed for Cow Bay. where she was
tied up for the night at ldiewild land-
ing. with nothing known as to when
another start could be made. as the
storm seemed to increase in fury. To-
ward mldnight the rain stopped and
the wind began to fall. so that at 3:15
a. m. the trip was again resumed.
"The sea was found to be still very
rough, but after much tossing South“
Norwalk was reached with all on
board safe and sound.
“There was some seasickness, but
the ladies stood the ordeal fully as
bravely as the men. and good nature
prevailed with all. When the boat
was forced 'to turn back some little
excitement resulted. and onelady ven-
tured to ask if the lives of the passen-
gers were in danger. At another time
a large Norwegian rat scampered
through the cabin and made things
lively for the ladies in a way better
imagined than described.
"The stea‘rner Shady Side. of Stam-
ford. and Rosedalc. of the Bridgeport
line, and several other sound craft.
tugs, barges. etc. were forced under
shelter and kept us company.
"A bountiful collation was provided
‘In the crew's mess room by Steward
Joe Lockwood. for the hungry Passen-
gers, who did it ample justice. The
manneonsiated of cold ham, bread and
butter. pickles. catsup. salt, pepper and
other, delicacies too numerous to men-
tion. ail thankfully received.
' "Much of the time was passed by
singing college songs and appropriate
hymns, such as Where is‘My Wander-
ing Boy Tonight, Rocked in the Cradli
'of the Deep. Pull for the Shore, Throw
Out the Life Line. A Life on the Ocean
Wave, etc. Such passengers as pre-
pared for sleep too early on berths im-
provised from camp-stools. were sub-
jected to a wake at the mercy of a
wakeful and musical quartette devel-
oped for the occasion. '
"After the rain stopped a dozen of
the passengers climbed ashore and
made a midnight trip of about a mile.
through the wet sand. to the anchor-
age of the Shady Side, and gave a
serenade. which. it appears. was not
a eciated. as the sleepy crew turned
a e hose on the invaders.
"Two of the passengers who had
previously disappeared were found at
a near by hotel wtih a bottle between
than nearly empty. which had been
filled with Long island apple-jack. it
is needless to say. they were simply in-
wardly and outwardly soaked. They
were put to bed.
"Captain Wilson turned in early.
but the quartette decreed that sleep
should be an unknown quantity, and
so e was forced to re up
the elort. about midnight and voted
kiiuelf to making the ladies and chil-
dra as comfortable as the limited
slyly of blankets on board would per-‘
m V‘s. ‘ .. . ( .4
“Proser Captain Betta. Porter Bou-
ton, the stewardess and crew all de-
sire praise. though the stewardess did
snore so loudly that some of the ladies
spent mny wakeful hours in agony
and finally had to desert the ladies'
cabin and take refuge in the main sa-
loon. but of course she icould not help
that."
BENEFIT POI! 'I'IIB HOSPITAL.
Ira. Katherine no, oflew van. or-
fers to Give a Risk-Class Musical. ‘
At the Hospital, Board meeting inst
night. after routine business had been
dispoaed of. the evening was taken up
in discussing the affairs of the Hos-
pital. '
Dr. Gregory presented an offer from
Mrs. Katherine Fisk. to give a high-
class musical recital‘for the benefit of
the Hospital at a date in'the very near
futura probably the present month.
Mrs. Flak is the leading soprano of
the choir of St. Bartholomew's Church
of New York city, which fact alone is
a sufficient guarantee of her musical
ability. besides which she has given
recitals in many large cities, and to
the music loving public of New York
and other cities her name alone is a
sufilcient guarantee of the character
of the entertainment.
The Hospital directors consider
themselves fortunate to have received
this kind offer from Mrs. Fisk. and are
exceedingly grateful. especially as it
comes at a time when. because of ex"
tra' work necessary to be done, and
the heavy expense of furnishing, there
is a pressing need of funds. They feel
confident that the people of‘ou'r town
will be glad of an opportunity to hear
this talented lady and at the same time
give the Hospital a much needed lift.
'LOIIS'I'EI CLUB A'I' 0111133.
Railroad It'll Entertainer! at the Resi-
dence of Engineer losses.
The Lobster Club, an organization
composed mostly of employees of the
Consolidated road, held ts annual mit-
ing, Sunday. at “0ntire,' the residence
of the popular engineer of No. 200, C.
H. Roscoe. .
The party were met at the New Cn-
naan station by a large carryoil, and
were soon having a delightful five-mile
ride on the Ridgefleld road. Although
the roads were a trifle dusty, the four
horses soon had them over the New
York State line and in a few minutes
“Ontire” was in sight.
After doing justice to refreshments
provided, they were taken out to view
the live stock and the reparing of a
feast in which clams and sweet corn
played a prominent part.
After the place had been inspected,
they were called towards the housc,
where Mrs. Roscoe had a beautiful rc-
past in waiting. The well-satisfied and
happy expressions of the men when“
they came out showed how well they
appreciated her dinner. The after-
noon entertainment took many differ-
ent forms. and funny stories kept the
men in constant laughter. One of the
principal entertainers, however, was
Frank E. l’arker, of South Norwalk,
who, with the assistance of Mr. Lock-
wood, a resident of that vicinity. per-
formed the basket and clamshcll tricks
in such a clever manner as to hold
the strictest attention. After the clams
and corn, which were served on ta-
bles set up in the orchard. had been
partaken of, the men again invaded
the house and spent their last hour
listening to a fine musical entertain-
ment. Then, after bidding their host
and hostess good‘ by. they were soon
on their way homeward, having spent
a day. that they will long remember.—

-Comniittees Appointed on
Organization and Grounds
A representative number of golf _cn-
thusiasts. of the Norwalks, met in the
osscssors' room in the Town Hall
block, last evcni g. to discuss the mat-
ter of organizin and securing links.
Judge H. W. Gregory presided. and
Samuel L. Weed acted as secretary pro
tcm.
The expense of running a golf club
was considered. and it was believed
that with an initiation fee of 810 and
annual dues of 310 for the first year.
the club'could be put in first—class
shape. and that the expenses for the
second year would be much less. .
Several locations for golf links were
discussed. including the lots on Mar-
vin's Ridge at East Norwalk. the
Ratchford lots in Westport avenue
near the County Home. And the Bur-
chard property at Wilson's Point.
After discussing the various phases
of, organization. it was decided to an-
point a committee for that purpose to
consist of Samuel L. Weed, LeGrand
Raymond. Clarence F. Osborn. Reed
Hafiiland. and Robert S. Van iluren.
The organisation committee will meet
at the residence of Mr. Weed, Friday
evening. and report to those interested
in the formation of a club at another
meeting to be held in the assessors'
room next Tuesday evening.
The committee apopintcd to look in-

Further Political Honors is a
Question Most Remote from

DISPOSITIONIS 10 BE BOUNB
BY PREBEIJENTSJF THE Pillil
Thinks Republican Custom of One Term
for Gevernor Is Well Founded and
will not be a Party to Changing
ita-ffhat a Republican Save.
U
Judging from articles which have up
poured in several of the newspapers
of this state of late, a number of per-
sons are indulging in needless worry
and idle speculation "as to the present
and probable future state of mind of
Governor Lounsbury on the guberna-
torial question: that is. so far as Gov-
ernor Lounsbury himself is conccrned.
From an authentic source The New
Haven Palladium is informed Ihat the
thing most remote from Governor
Lounsbury's‘ mind is the thought of
necking or oven accepting a rr-nomln.
titles; that at no time since he accept-
‘ ed the nomination for the term which
he. is now serving has be entertained
any such thoughts, and that upon the
expiration of his present term of ofilco
he will have fully satisfied his poli-
tical ambition.
Under these circumstances the allot-
cd "mistake made by the governor" to
quote one of the papers, in not attend-
ing last week's clambake at Mansilcld's
Grovc, was no mistake of all. 0n the
other hand, tlicre arc those whose
judgment on such matters is generally
considered good. who think that as the
governor did not attend either of the
legislative reunions of this year, and
particularly as he did not grace the
‘99 reunion with his presence, it was
very We" considered on his part not
to attend the Clambake. There are
also those who think that on gcncral
principles the dignity of the governor's
office is not at all enhanced by dancing
:iltenduricc on functions principally of
a gustaiory nature, and of using such
affairs to strengthen political aspira-
tions. should the latter be entertained.
ilut to return to the gubernatorial mat-
for:
"When Governor iminsbury-acceptcd
the nomination lost year," said a gen-
llcmnn who knows what. he is talking
about, “he did it with thc expressed
intention of seeking or accepting no
further political honors. Anyone who
knows the governor knows that ho is
a good Republican and that his dispo-
siiion is to be bound by the- accepted
precedents of that party. One of thc
unwritten laws of the arty in this
stoic. but nevertheless a rule which
good Republicans have come to con
sider binding. it not to re-nominate
anyone who has once been a successful
gubernatorial candidate. At least this
has been the rule ever since. the insti-
tution of bi-ennlnl sessions. and unless
some very excellent situation arises
Governor Lounsbury is not the man
who will be a party to violating it.
That this has been the cuatom of the
party has not been due to the fact that
they have not had men in the guber-
natorial chair who would not have
been acceptable for a second term, but
by common consent it became an ac-
cepted rule. Governor Bulkley was the
only governor in many years who ser-
ved two terms, but that occurs“
through the dead lock in 1891. i am not
alone in the opinion that if the party
should decide to change from estab-
lished custom, Governor Lounsbury
would be a most excellent man to be-
gin with, but you can put it down for
a certainty that precedent is going to
be follower]. The less time. therefore,
that the people. who are behind the
recent gossip devote to the matter, the
more they will devote to other, possi-
bly more profitable affairs."

The annual inspection of thc natur-

Prior to the start the party was
informed that it was pretty rough out-
side. but it was dccidcd to make the
.lIIi‘llliil, and to turn back if the Sound
Iwr'flllll‘ too boisterous. The water of
the inside harbor was rather choppy.
but outside there was a heavy swell
which tossed the inspecting party ab-
out iii a lively fashion. The waves.

drenched several and drove them to

gone to gaze upon the angry billows.
The sight along the sea wall at Sea-

magnificent. The breakers dashed ag-
ainst the rocks, sending sheets of spray
high in the air. and making a typical
storm scene of a fascinating nature

An attempt to dyedge was made, but
the sea run too high and the plan was
abandoned. A steam oyster dredge in
operation was a new thing to many
