THE GIGANTIC TROLLEY RIDE.

The New England Order of Protection is fraternal insurance order that has
 eight lodges in this city, with 1500
 members, who carry an insurance on
 their lives amounting to $3,5OO, ,000. The
 eight lodges have combined to give 8
 trolley ride tomorrow evening, which,
 on account of its magnitude and grand
 eur, will certainly eclipse anything of
 its kind ever before attempted in the
 New England states. Fifteen hundred
 members of the order, occupying twe,,
 ty-five of the largest cars of the Fair
 Haven and Westville road, all decorated
 in a handsome manner, and accompan-
 jed by the Second regiment band, will
 certainly be an imposing sight for the
 people of New Haven. The route is
 from the green through Chapel street,
 State street and Grand avenue to Fair
 Haven, returning by same route and
 thus proceeding to Westville, returning
 to York street and out West Chapel
 street, returning to the green and
 from there to Savin Rock by Winches-
 ter avenue road, after which they will
 return to the green. Each car will be in charge of motorman and conductor in uniform, while two starters, the electrician of the company and a gang
 of linemen will accompany the party. The greatest care has been taken to have everything pass off harmoniously and from present appearances it prom ises to be demonstration that will be a credit tc an organization so prominent in it's character as the New England Order of Protection.
 The circular says among things: The ma gnitude of the party will be sufficient to attract public attention without be- 1 ing obliged to indulge in horn blowing red fire or any other noisy or spectacu- lar assistants. We do not wish to be understood as insinuating that any of our members would be guilty of any such unseemly conduct, but some might, into demonstration inconsistent with 1 the dignity of great order.
 Reports will be received from the diff ferent committees at the regular meet | ing of Charter Oak lodge in their hall, l 400 State street, on Wednesday evening, September IS. At this time and place | the sub-treasurers will report to the treasurer, Brother F. D. Grinnell, the number of tickets sold and turn over all moneys to him.
 The sub-treasurers of the different 1 lodges are as follows: Elm Tree, Broth | CT A. D. Baker; Beacon, Brother c. H l Hines; Centennial, Brother C. Rom l berg; Charter Oak, Brother M. J. Hotch- kiss; Mozart, Brother H. Staby; Win chester, Brother A. c. Trecartin; Glad stone, Brother J. J. Howard; Fort Hale Brother D. A. Hummer.
 | The members of the order in Faii Haven will take the decorated cars al l the Fair Haven and WestviTle car
 house in Fair Haven at 2 o'clock D. m l sharp, and they will be conveyed to the green to take part in the demonstra- ! tion without extra charge. The com mittee would also suggest that as the cars will be ranged along the north side | of Chapel street, from Church to York l street, that holders of tickets will facil- ! itate matters by ranging along the walk l throughout that distance, taking the cars throughout the entire length. The start will be made at 7;90 o'clock | sharp.
 At the close of the demonstration the
 members of the order living in Fair Ha- | ven will take cars for Fair Haven, and | cars will also be sent with the parties living in the Winchester avenue dis. l trict on the Winchester avenue road.
 If Thursday September 19, is stormy the demonstration will take place Tues l day evening, September "A.
