CommoDoRE HULL.

InterestinG Paper by Captain Charles
 Fl. ToWnshend on Commodore Hull
 and the Naval Rattle Between tho
 Constisutlon and tho Guerriere-In-
 torestinG Exhibit in Connection
 With the Subject.
 A meeting of the New Haven Colony Historical society was held at the soeiety's building. IA Grove street, last evening. In the absence of President Simeon E. Baldwin ex7Judge Lynde Harrison was sp- pointed to preside. General Bradley made the motion that Henry T. Blake be elected to fill the place on the Defenders monu- ment committee made vacant by tho death of Hiram Camp. The matter was left to the committee.
 The principal business of the evening, however, was the reading of paper by Captain Charles H. Townshend, entitled, ''Commodore Isaac Hull; with an Account from an Eye Witness of the Capture of the British Frigate Guerriere by the United States Frigate Constitution, War of 1812. The paper was exceedingly interesting and held the attention of all present through l out the reading. The four pictures of the engagement which belong to the society were hung in the lecture room, also an excellent painting of Commodore Hull by Gilbert Stewart . New
 York artist of repute half century ago, and which is the property of Yale college and was kindly loaned for the occasion by President Dwight. Some forks and spoons l Constitution were exhibited, together with | the autograph of Commodore Hull.
 The eye witness of the engagement men, tioned in the title was Captain William B. Orne, an American prisoner on board the Guerriere. Mr. Alvin was acting master l of the Constitution and is an uncle of Pro.
 lessor Hoppin of Yale. :. In speaking of Commodore Hulps wife l Captain Townshend said: ---.t l "Hrs. Anne McCurdy Hart Hull, second daughter of Captain Hart, born in 1700 died November 6, 1874, was one of bevy l of seven beautiful sisters, and was every whore admired, at home and abroad, for
 her beauty and accomplishment of mind
 and manner. There is still extant 8 fnt bust of her taken in Italy,"
 Commodore Hull brought to the hom. l of his wife's folks in Saybroek part, il
 not all of the dinner set which he tool from the Guerriere. One of tho dinner plates is now in the collection of Mrs. Pro
 lessor Salisbury, whose father, Judge Mo
 Curdy, was an own cousin of Mrs. Hull
 her mother having been McCurdy. Tn,
 plate was made in Liverpool in the early
 part of this century. It has blue Chines'
 printed design with 6 red background painted in by hand.
 The msmory of Commodore Hull has
 special interest for New Haven county ypeo pie, as he was born st Derby. Captxil
 Townshsnd's description of the battle il
 detail was especially interesting. e . grss
 deal of it wss told him personally by Gap
 tain Orne.
 At the next meeting of the society Sec
 retary Thomas R. Trowbridge will read
 paper on "The Capture of the Chesapeak
 by the Shannon Of Boston Light"
 At Seaside Park. ;.

THE SURVEY OF NEW YORK.
To Complete Maps of the State VIII
GnGt GSO0.

Cost $500. 1000.
WASHINGTON, April IS, 1894.-A promi-
nent member of the Geological Survey today
said:-eThe rapid progress of the survey OF
the State of New York is an assured fact,
provided that the Legislature saw fit to
continue the small annual appropria-
ton called for In the agreement
with the officers of the geological
survey. There is already mapped over one
fifth of the area of the eleven thousand
square miles on a scale approximately one
inch to the mile. The finished map is pub
lished in sheets, each a complete map Of a
limited area, a little smaller than a news
paper page, SO constructed t hat it is possible
to fasten several sheets together by trim
ming and mounting on a large sheet to
form a map of any desired size and covering
any portion of the State.
aThe cost of this work is about ten dollars
per quare mile, the total amount expended
is, in round numbers, 100000, of which the
State has appropriated about $4,000. Since
the work under the cooperative principle
was inaugurated, about two years ago, the
appropriation by the State has been more
than equaled in mount by that set aside by
the geological survey for map work In New
York. though the agreement is that each
party shall spend a like amount.
"The total cost of the complete map of the
State will be about $500, 900. Under the
plan of cooperation the State would pay
but half this amount, $250,0O0, The best
management seems to make it desirable that
this sum should be expended in small
amounts, appropriated annually of from
$40, 900 to $4,000.
1.-THE work went rapidly forward under
the administration of State Engineer and
Surveyor Martin Schenck, and the present
incumbent, G. w. Adams, c. E., is taking an
active interest in the continuance of the
work y
