 and everything will be done to prevent de- | lay. As the appointed time approaches for the men to reach any of the stations, the relays who are to carry forward the
 message will be mounted all ready for 6 push start as soon as the dispatch is hand ed to them, and a delay of 8 very few sec onds will be needed All the checkers vii
 have their watches regulated with, New York standard time. Editor Goodman will act as starter in Hartford and ther l take the train for New Haven where ht will see them go through.
