He will ship to the preserve a large

Some time ago the preserve was
purchased by Frank Phillipsnwho
installed upon the place, sawing
machines and who has since been
engaged in cutting timbre. Mr. Phil,-
lips recently sold the strip of 200
acres and the lodge to Mr. Goodwin.
Wanted for Hospital.
A move was recently made by
the New London Chamber of Com-
merce to secure the property for
the Allingtou Hospital. The matter
was taken up with. Gov. Binghnm.
This hospital was endowed by the
daughter of the owner of the Win-
chester Arms Company and is at
present near New Haven. It was be-
lieved that a location such as would
be afforded at tho preserve would
prove extremely beneficial for the
patients.
Mr. Phillips has been given until
July 1 to out timber and. after that.
Messrs. Stone and Chaney will take
over full possession of their pur-
chase. In the meantime improve-.-
ments will be begun immediately
