ing their death in the loss of the boat.
The Arctic, the name of the Inflated
yacht was built here by Messrs.
Coates Il Stilson. The owner. who
did not live to enjoy his possession,
was NJ. S. Ellsworth. Last Buesday
the yacht was launched from the yards
of the firm in this city. To-day it
was decided to take the boat to Sag
atuck for a trial sail, and the party
consisted of the owner and builders.
There was only slight breeze blow
Ing on the lake and an easy and en-
joyable trip was expected. All went
we'll until the boat was about two
miles out from here. Observers from
shore report that they saw the yacht
suddenly roll over keel up and sink
before any of the victims on board had
4 chance to keep afloat by clinging to
anything.
The members of the life-saving crew
were at once notified of the disaster,
and pulled their boat with all possible
speed to the scene. They were too
late to pick up anything except cap
belonging to one of the drowned men.
The accident is all the more distress
ing on account of the fact that all
three were married and leave families.

Tho earliest suggestion of stars in an
American flag is in a standard of tho
Philadelphia Light horse (1771-5).

was ON the 18th of juno, lf77, that the

tory information as to the standard used
by the colonists at Bunker Hill, fought
on June II, ITS. Indeed it has never
been proved that they had any stand
ards, though one writer says "they were
as various as the troops were motley. "
There is a picture of tho battle in the
rotunda Of the capitol at Washington,
painted by Trumbull, tho celebrated
American artist of that day, in which
the Americans arc pictured fighting un-
der q red flag having q white canton
bearing q green Pine tree. Warren is
said to have reminded his troops Of the
motto on their standard, on ono side Of
which was, "Qui transtulit sustinet"
(He who brought us here will sustain
us), and on tho other, can appeal to
heaven. This appears to have been the
Connecticut motto. An old lady told
Mr.. LOSING, the historian, that her ia

hosting the flag. He described it her.

On July 10, 1775, q standard was pro-

1775, plan was suggested for Revo-

the motto, IAN Appeal to Heaven. " It
was the flag of American floating bat

Massachusetts, and it was used on Amer
