 The Groton Centennial was really grand affair. Among the ships present were the old Constitution and the Kearsage, and the state militia were all there. There was an im- mense crowd. A Times reporter estimates that there were g. 900 strangers in Norwich, -Mons day night, and only 50Ospare beds to put them in. The buildings were beautifully trimmed and the sham fight with which the celebration opened was well planned and well executed. Between 20, 600 and 25, 900 people were pres ent at the monument at the afternoon exer- cises. A fine historical address was delivered by Gen. Hawley, who dwelt with justifsble pride on the efforts and sacrifices of the peo- pie of Connecticut in the old French wars and in the Revolution. The wretch who ran Led. yard through the body with the sword he had just surrendered, is fixedon-not perhaps with absolute accuracy-as Major Bromfeld, a New Jersey renegade. A fine poem by Rose Terry Cooke was then read, there was singing by 800 children, and an 'impromptu address by Gen. Sherman -t"
