spectacle. The wheelmen formed their pros
cession about the green, and at 10 O'Clock
the head began to move up Elm street from
the north gate of the green. The Second
regiment band rode before in q barge drawn
bred wheelmen In line, and their bright ap-
pearance and the bold notes of their bugler
attracted much attention and comment along
the crowded streets through which they
passed. The Hartford, Bridgeport and Meri-
den olubs were well represented, and the New
Haven club, attired In dark green uniforms
Gus part of the procession. At the Howard
avenue bridge and upon Hillhouse avenue
the procession countsrmarched and the pa
raiders were photographed at both of these
places by several photographers, both ama-
teur and professional.
At half-past 10 O'Clock business meeting
of the Connecticut division, L. A. W., was
held in Grand Army hall. Chief Consul
David ]. Post of Hartford presided. The
report of Secretary and Treasurer e. A..
DeBlois of Hartford showed a balance
| of 1888 40 on hand. A. A. Beau of Daniel
sonville, chairman of the improvement
of reads committee reported. He said
that more had been done in the Connect.
cut division in improving the roads than in
| any other division. Instead of going to the
legislature, as other divisions had done, they
went to the press, and found it powerful
and helpful friend. The farmers of the state
seem to be in sympathy with wheelmen.

Arthur Allen Dean of Danielsonville; for
vice consul, A. g. Frotier of New Haven;
for secretary and treasurer, E. A. DeBlois Of
Hartford. For representative there were ten
