Residents at Morris Cove and the East
ern shore were treated to an unusually
grand marine display yesterday morning
over night sailed away like fleet of
mammoth yachts. ALI pulled anchor at
about the same time. There was fair
wind out of the harbor, and with every
sail set each of the vessels sailed away.
Twenty-six schooners and one bark were
in the grand and well-formed procession
of vessels that glided down the harbor,
around the lighthouse and away to the
eastward. The sun shone upon the canvas
and the almost unruf1ed water, giving a
rare appearance of lively beauty to the
Thursday night was quite severe and very
few vessels could be detected outside of
the breakwater, the continued stormy
weather having induced shippers to put
into port at night.
The male chorus of the Four Corners

the recital. The chorus will sing next

Hoadley B. Ives, president Of the Fair
Haven and Westville railroad, says that no
action on the petition for low
er fares has been taken by the
directors, and that no action
will be taken until the meeting of the board
of directors next month. The petition
was addressed to the board of directors,
and of course they alone could act upon it,
Many of the directors were out of town at
present, but as soon as majority had re-
turned a meeting would be called. With
regard to that clause of the petition which
asks for twelve-minute cars from 9 am. to
8 am, Mr.. Ives said that at present the
company were running twelve-minute cars
all along the line, with the exception of
one lap in the western part of the city, and
that of course this could be easily RENE
died. He also remarked that there was no
horse car road in the country that he knew
of which charged less than cents trip,
and that the Fair Haven and Westville
would be unwilling to establish such q
DANGEROUS precedent.
