The South Norwalk Fife and Drum
Corps closed its fifteenth annual car-
nival and field day. the most success-
ful yet in the history of the organiza-
tion. with a grand ball, last evening.
in Music Hall. The affair was attend—
ed by over'flve hundred people. all
friends, and many of them lady admir-
ers of the members of the various
corps that took part in the events of
the evening. The available room on
the sides of the floor where the con—
tests took place was well filled. while
there were many in the galleries. The
fliers and drummers in their neat unl~
forms. with the flush of excitement of
the day on their faces. in dead earn
est in every movement of the various
drills. blade to pretty and unusual
sight. As each corps that took part
retired. they were greeted with loud
applause. and after each announce-
ment of the prize winners. by Ser-
geant Charles S. Beecher. manager of
the South Norwnlk corps. was made.
the applause was thunderous from the
company‘s constituents and the others
as well.
The opening contest last night was
the fancy drill. In this the Kennedy
Guards captured the first prize. while
the lnvlncibles. of Yonkers. N. l’..
marched off with e second award.
Each company, as it concluded Its
drill was cheered to the echo. espec-
ially the Kennedy Guards. several of
whom are well known here. The sec-
ond event was the drum major's con-
test. ln this. as in the other contests.
the drum band marched to the front
of the hall in front of the stage. and
facing the judges. Charles S. Beecher
and two gentlemen from Port Chester".
gave their exhibition. In this contest
it was quite difficult to chose the win-
ner. so well did each man twirl the
glittering baton. After considerable
consultation the judges decided In fa—
vor of W. J. Lammey. of the invinci-
bles. Yonktrs. N. ii. for first prize.
and awarded the second prize to Ed-
ward Schread. of the Park City Jan-
iors. Bridgeport. '
At this point Chairman Beecher an‘
nounced that the audience would be
favored with a tight ropc exhibition
by Henry Nichols. of lilanmroneck. At
the announcement there was a storm
of aplause. as Mr. Nichols is a great
favorite among Norwalk attdlences.
The exhibition showed that the ap-
plause was not uncalled for. A wire
had been stretched across the stage.
and on this Mr. Nichols gave an exhi-
biiton. One of his most daring feats
was the balancing of a ladder on the
wire and walking to the third step.
where be balanced himself for almost
a minute. Another was the not of bat-
ancing himself in a chair on the nar-
row wire. all the time twirling two
batons. for Mr. Nichols is quite an (ix-
pcrt drum titajor.
The next feature was not on the
program. but was mtlch apprwintcd.
nevertheless. Arthur Grant. a four-
tcen-ycnr-old boy. was given the per-
mission of earning a few nickcls by
the use of his voice. The boy is an
artist. and. standing in the center of
the floor. uliaccompanied. he stitig very
sweetly. "l'Vc a Longing In My Heart
For You." ensuring with ‘Ain't it n
Shame.“ During the singing of each
selection nickcla fairly rained on the
floor thrown by his admirers In the
audience. and the lad reaped (lliltt‘ a
harvest.

Ex-Mayor Edwin Adamo Ask: Some
QuestionsiAbout the Structure.
Editor Evening Sentinel: At the
annual meeting of the South Norwalb’
l'nion school district the committee
asked for an appropriation of $8,000
to buy land for a school site. which
wag bought. and also an appropriation
of 322.000 to build a school harming,
and later asked for $3.000 more. makr
Ing appropriation of $23,006 for a
school building. Will the committcl'
tell the people of the district. through
The Sentinel. the number of rooms
now in rise. counting each kindergarten
room as two'.’ How many pupils each
room was built to accommodate. how
many cents each room will require to
fill, how runny scholars are registered
in each room. and what to the average
attendance of each room? How many
rooms are tuned for the town's high
school. and how many of the town's
high school scholars. Including those
from our own district are in attend
trace. and If they are (counted in the
numbered registered. and in the aver-
age attendance In the report of the
board school visitors. arid what the
district receives from the town for
rent of the rooms the town trace for the
town's high achrml?
This information Is asked for. as
the last published report of the board
of school visitors does not seem to
indicate that much a school building In
needed at the present time. While i
believe the people of the. district want
to furnish suitable accommodations for
their scholars they do not want at the
present to spend any more money than
is necessary to take care of their own
scholars.
it appears from the estimates of
some of the competent builders in the
town that the school building proposed
by the committee at the annual meet.
ing. and said by them could be built
complete for 320.000. will cost if built
8415.000 or more. ill. spans.

In To Promote llauliness
NEW HAVEN. Conn. October 18—
S. 1’. Thrasher. secretary of the State
Law and Order League. gave out an
open letter today. In reference to the
proposed match between "ir'oung Core
belt“ and Austin Rice. at Waterbury.
It is as follows:
To the citizens of Waterbury:
i know I run the risk of being cali-
ed "officious" and "nieddlesomc." if I
continue to call attention to the “mor-
all show." which is booked for Water'-
bury. November 6.
I think that every teacher of morals
and religion In Waterbury should look
Into this matter for “points." The af-
fair is called, as you know. a “scientific
sparring exhibition for points." I had
supposed that there was to be a prize
light up there. but I am always open
to conviction. and when I see such an
exhibition of moral and religious en-
terprise as that, which took place in
Baltimore night before last, between
"Young Corbett‘ arid .ioe Bernstein. I
feel it my duty to call your attention
to thc "pMnts" of that affair. i can-
not do better than quote from the re—
ports which appear in varied form In
the daily press.
“He fought hard and fast and tried
hard to knock his opponent out.”
"The. punches in the head soon cut
Corbett up considerable. and he look-
cd pretty bad to the ordinary spectm
tor. Many of the crowd thought him
as good as whipped. when the blood
was flowing. but blood cuts very little
ice with a man like Corbett."
"in the third round Bernstein whip-
ped over his left. and fraught Corbett
just over the left eye, which started
the claret coursing down the cham-
pion's face. In the fourth round Hern-
stcln landed on Corbett's right cheek-
bone. and the blood trickled down that
side of the Denver iad'a face."
“Bernstein announced from his cor.
her that he could not continue the
fight, as his hand was broken."
"Throughout the battle. the blood
flowed freely."
It must be apparent that l have had
distorted Ideas regarding the proposed
“(exhibitionf‘ I don't see what I could
have been thinking of to have called It
a “prize fight." My conscience trou-
bles mc.
Would it not be well for the city
government to issue free tickets to the
rising youth of Waterbury. Perhaps
the Y. M. (7. A. could get special terms
for its members . What better oppor-
tunity can there be to promote nianli-
nlss than this?

FUNERAL 0F MR8. HANNAH HILL.
Letter From Rev. A. 8. Kavanagh
Read at Yesterday's soNIces.
The South Norwnlk Methodist
Church was filled to its capacity yes‘
terday afternoon with relatives arid
friends who had assembled to pay
their last respects to the memory of
Mrs. Hannah Lyon Hill. The services
which, because of their nature. were
quite lengthy. Were very impressive
and many in the atrdicnco were named
to tears.
Rev. Walter Woi'ford ’1‘. Duncan.
pastor of the church. conducted the
services, assisted by Rev. L, I). Street-
cr, Rev. James Montgomery. the pro
siding cider. and Rev. Harvey H.
Burns, all former pastors of the
church. and friends of Mrs. Hill. It
was expected that Rev. A. S. Kava-
nugh. a former pastor, would‘be pres-
ent and assist but he was unable to
do so and Stillt the following letter
which was read by Rev. Mr. Duncan:
947 President. Street.
Brooklyn. N. Y.,
October 16. 1902.
My Dear Brother Duncan:
l exceedingly regret that I shall be
unable to attend the funeral services
of Mrs. Hill tomorrow. i am confined
to the house and under the doctor’s
care and he positively forbade me go-
ing. i regret this more than I can
express. for I knew Mrs. Hill most in-
tlmately.
It isn‘t often in onc’s life time that
they have the privilege of knowing
such a woman as Mrs. Hill. Hers was
a strong and well stored mind. it was
a rare opportunity to sit with her for
an hour. as I did often and hear her
tell of the men of generations ago who
Were making an impression upon tne
life of the nation and the church. and
what a memory she had—poem after
poem she could recite that she had
learned in her childhood days.
The South Norwalk church is her
monument—Look around you today—-
The magnificent building where you
are assembled could never have been
created without her great generosity.
The window over yonder which bears
her name, also bears a motto true to
her life. “I love thy church and God."
She loved the old church and it was
hard for her to have It replaced by an-
other. But she loved the new one
with as Intense a love as the old one~
and watched with pride its completion.
She had a strong will, but a very
tender heart. More than one instant
comes to mind as I write of the most
tender generosity. She abominated
the person who was shiftless and good
for nothing, but she, was exceeding
generous towards the poor and the.
distressed. if you will substitute.
this letter for my place In the service
it will be a favor.
As ever yours.
A. S. KAVANAGH.
