G. B. Gary, w. E. Hanley, F. E. Fitz-
patrick, J. ]. Clark, and II. s. Abel went
to New London Tuesday to arrange for
the annual merchants excursion. 1t was
learned that in order to have the excur-
sion to Rocky Point the price for the
round trip would have to be $1.5O, and
the owners of the boat demanded guar
antee of $3.50. Under the circumstances
it was decided to abandon the plan of 60
ing to Rocky Point. The road offers an
excursion to Block Island for 81 for the
round trip, and the committee has de-
cided to accept the terms. Monday, July
25th, has been selected as the date. The
change from Tuesday to Monday was
made by request of the manufacturers, as
1t is not convenient for them to stop In
the middle of the week. The rate to
Block Island is the lowest ever offered,
and it is probable that many will go
through for the sail. Many others will
have enough sailing by the time Watch
Hill is reached, and as consequence both
resorts will be literally patronized.

Connecticut Sanitary and Relief associa-

articles needed by the soldiers and sail
ors. 1t is hoped that this supper will be
literally patronized. Before the supper,
at 2 O'Clock, the ladies will meet again to
sew. A full attendance is earnestly re-
} quested, as the first box is to be sent to
: the south early next week and there is
considerably more work to be done be-
fore 1t is ready. Those who have been
sewing at home for this object, and those
who have ANYTHING tn send that tbav
