for Glen Island TO-day-veteran Odd
Fellows.
The eighteenth annual excursion of the
Canton Golden Rule, I. o. o. F., took place
yesterday. The route chosen was an en-
tirely new one, being to the new Odd Eel
lows home at Fairview, Groton Heights.
The excursionists, numbering about 25O,
left New Haven at 9 O'Clock on the steamer
Sunshine, and after delightful sail ar
rived at 1:30 at the dock in the Thames
river in front of Fairview, which is the
name of the new home. The e1cursionists
disembarked and, walking up the winding
road, entered the front door and inspected
the house. The house is on knoll which
overlooks the Thames river about mile
above the railroad bridge. There are six
rooms on the lower floor besides butlea q
pantry and kitchen. The floor of the
dining-room is of polished hard woods.
On the second floor are nine large bed
rooms and they are reached by broad
winding stairway. The attic is not finish
ed off, but by raising the roof 1t will divide
off into six fine rooms. There is also 9
oupola with large windows which afford g
view of the surrounding country and the
sound az far az Long Island.
There is a broad verandah reaching cleal
around the house. Choice apple, peach
and pear trees are in abundance, and some
are full of fine fruit. There are also many
varieties of shade trees and shrubs. There
is also on the grounds gardeners cottage
three barns, spring house and a poultr,
house. A short distance from the hous'
is large bubbling spring which furnishes
cold water for the stock. Near the hous
is also well of fine water bored in tn
solid rock. An arbor of the choicest grape
vines reached from the back door for som
distance. The town of Groton is going t
build wide boulevard around the entir
grounds, which comprise forty-seYel
acres. The visitors were delighted wit
the whole place and think that the selee
ton was wise one. On the return tri
the Sunshine stopped for two hours in Ne,
London, and leaving there at O'Clock 81
rived at her dock in this city at $50 in th
evening.
