Clerks Hlnman, of the Senate, and Baldwin and Spatford, of the House, were also present, Everything was in- formal and there was no stiffness ob- servable, all of the scraps of lawmak- ing days being forgotten in the deter‘ mination .of having a good time. Many of the visitors expressed ad- miration at the decorations for Old Home Weak, that or the Atlantic Ho- tel attracting particular attention. and many of them expressed the intention of being in Bridgeport, during the cel- ebration.

With Gomrnor Cham- belaln came Freeman of Hartford and a big delegation of that city. Governor Chamberlain arrived at 12: 35 in Bridgeport and at once pro- ceeded to the Beach where he was given an enthusiastic welcome. ‘ As there is a full year before poli- tics will come to the fore again in Connecticut. the subject was avoided by most of those in the gathering. The time usually devoted to chin wagging ' over candidates was used to good ad- vantage ,In renewing acquaintances. The shore dinner came in for much praise and was thoroughly enjoyed.

Made Efforts Yesterday—Scott Wreck- ing Uempany to Undertake the Work Shortly Several fruitless attempts were made to right the schooner Willie L. Newton yesterday, and a number of men In- terested in her fate are to come here today and look over the‘situution with regard to righting her and towinl her somewhere so that she can be repair- dThe tugs Patience and it. B. Little were at the wreck. y‘esterday after- noon. Large hawsera are passed over her side and attach to the masts. l‘he tugs then started and it was be~ lieved that they would be able to pull the schooner up on an even keel, They succeeded in raising her masts a lit— tie out of the water by their combined efforts. but she settled right back again. The black smoke poured out of the stacks of the two tugs in great black clouds and every pound of power was used to effect the desired result. but without avail. The big hawaers stretched tight as a bowstring and the water from them went off in spray as the full power of the tugs stretched thorn. It is probable that this method of righting the Newton will be aban- doned and some other means employ- This morning the tug, R. B. Little took the barges Ariadne. George L. Rice, Ada L. Ties and Delhi, which the Patience had in tow. and with two barges which she was towing and started for New York. The Patience tied .up alongside the wreck last night and remained there. No attempt was made to right the schooner today, as the prevailing east wind has kicked up a Very nasty sea which would make work of that nature almost impossible. Though there is quite a heavy sea running It is not believed that there is any very great danger of the schooner going to pieces as the Patience will stand by and look after her as much as possible. Should the weather remain heavy though for a dayor two more. it will be hard to tell what the result will be. Captain 0. D. Pendleton, of the firm of Pendleton Brothers. the owners of the Newton, arrived in South Norwsik last night, from lsiesboro Maine, and this morning at 10 o'clock met Mr. Scott. of York, oi“ the Scott Wrecking and Transportation Company. The two men went-to the scene of the wreck at Greens ltcef Light this after- noon at 1 o'clock, leaving South Nor- walk in Keogh Brothers launch, the Sara K., in company with Hubert S.

To the Editor of the‘ Sentinel: Darien is a delightfully located place, and has much to recommend it to the person in search of either a transient or permanent residence. At the same time it is lacking in many things that could be enjoyed were the people less lacking in progressivenesa. . May I make a few suggestions, not in a spirit of causing criticism. but actuated solo ly by a desire to improve the place? First, the darkness of all the rest- dence streets after nightfall is in- tense. Why not form some sort of a public improvement association and have a suflcient number of good street lights. the lamps to be filled and light- ed each night at a certain hour by a man paid a fixed sum per month to do the work! Second can we not secure a free express livery service? Surely the place Ia sauciently large and the vol- ume of business done by the railroad company is great enough to warrant the request being made. it might not be granted but to ask would do no harm. A further improvement that poul- biy could be secured, and which I am sure is worth asking for, Is a midnight train from New York, stopping at all stations between Port Chester and South Norwalk. Such a train is very much needed. 1 am a believer in the motto, "In union there is strength." and would like to see an association of progres- sive residents of Dal-ten, Noroton and 110an formed to secure, if his the improvements wages and such others as may suggest themselves. or may ”pear when needed from time to time. i am delighted with Darion. and consider it a charming place, but it lacks some thing to make it upon-date --thinga that. i believe could be scour eduilf the musty united effort were in o. m. com Dorian, August 37.. 1003. m. skctvsauuan. ‘on “Washington inter state Ten ‘ lverythhg u Readiness for the Shooting Event to be field at Sea Girt.,New Jersey. from September 2 to iZ—Many "States to be Represented ‘ SEA GIRT, N.

In the regimental team match the entries include two District of Colum- bia team, and teams from five New Jersey regiments. Pennsylvania will send the same number of regimental tennis and Massachusetts will be repre- sented by the First Regiment Heavy artillery; New York by eight National Guard teams; Maryland by two; Ohio by one and the United States Marine Corps by ‘two teams. One of the new team competition is the Dryden match, for a trophy val~ ued at 31,000, presented by Senator Dryden, of New Jersey. This contest is expected to attract a large,number of competitors. Colonel A. Honor, the well-known rifle shot, has given a fro phy to be competed for in a rapid fire contest. Bull's eye shooting will be el- iminated at the coming meet. and. to take its place. a souvenir medal match and a national marksmans' match pro- vldcd. The Second Infantry will contribute the largest number of men of any regi- ment in the Cmnectlrut National Guard. and the proposition which the state marksmen must face is a stern one The United States magazine. rifle which is known as the Krng- Jorgeson, Is the arm to be used and is the one of the highest power of any used‘l the army. in fact, so powerful is th rifle that its use has been forbidden in the regimental range because a bullet from it would porfo to the bulkhead. it Is a (lo-calibre the with a greater velocity than any other r13e used by the army. The marksmen of the Con- necticut National Guard who have al- ways used the Springfield rifle, will be served with the United States maga- zine rifle at the range, and until then will not have had a chance to practice with the gun. As the general opera- tion of the new rifle ls entirely differ- ent, it will be an entirely new experi- ence to the Connecticut men. The dr- ing distances will also be different and more difficult than the militiamen have been accustomed to. Whereas the man of the Connecticut guard have never shot at a longer range than 500 yards. at the contest they will shoot at tar- gets set 200 600, 300 700, 800, 900 and 1.000 roads distant. .
