SWIMMING EXHIBITION.

Prof. A. Lancin, who has been se-
 Savin Rock Tuesday afternoon is very interesting man personally He
 is a finely built man, about thirty years
 old, and was born at Nice, France He
 was brought up around the water and
 learned to swim almost before he could
 walk. His accomplishments are not only physical, for he can speak four languages, French, Italian, Germar and
 English fiuently. As swimmer, he has no equal, and is quite a wonder. His longest swim in this country was from Narragansett Pier to Newport, distance of twelve miles, which dis tance he accomplished in six hours. He will appear at Savin Rock on Tuesday
 only, from 5 to o'clock The street
 railway company will place large float half way between Skeele's and Millers pavilions His exhibition will consist of many different features, the
 principle one being the different meth ods of rescuing a drowning man. Be- sides doing a Chinese dance upon the water and telling time underneath the surface of the water he will permit three men chosen from the crowd to tie him in anyway and with as many knots as they please and then throw him overheard. He will swim to shore tied in that manner.
 The challenge which he issued yester- day to swim anyone at his own dis tance has been accepted by two ama- teur swimmers of this city, Charles | Wieser and Charles Bond. The dist ance is one mile and will be over tri- angular course between the two pavil- | ious in full sight of everyone. Three time around the triangle will complete | the mile. The match will take place af- | ter the exhibition. Extra settees have 1 been place along the beach and on Mill | ler's pavilion and Skeele's wharf to &C., l commodate the people who wish to wit ness the exhibition.

INTER EST INCREASING.

Large Audience Present at Y. M. c. A,
 Outdoor Meeting Yesterday.
 The outdoor services under the aus pices of both the Central and Railroad branches of the Y. M c. A. seem to have struck popular chord. They are to be held each Sunday afternoon dur ing July and August beginning at 4:SO o'clock, on the steps of Center church on the green. The second of the series was held yesterday afternoon and the attendance was at least three times greater than that of the proceeding Sunday. Several different nationalities and consequently different creeds were represented, but all seemed to be heart fly interested in all that was said and done. The steps of the church are nice- ly shaded and cool breeze was blow ing, and this served to interest the peo- pie all the more. The singing was bright and cheerful, being led by the Young Peoples society Christian En- deavor of Dwight Place church. The speaker of the afternoon was H. B. Gibbud of Springfield, Mass. His talk was illustrated by the use of large chart. He treated the subject of the gospel in a general way, quoting many texts from the Bible, which served to clearly establish the points he was de- sirous of making.

o CHANGE NAME OF EAST
 STREET.

Petition to Substitute Name of Manila
 Street to Go to Common Council.
 At the meeting of the councilmen to- night petition will be presented ask ing that the name of East street be changed to Manila street The petition is signed by more than one hundred names of residents on the street, all property owners. The change of name is looked upon with favor by all the residents and property owners on the street, except a few business houses which have the present. name of the street on their letter and bill-heads, and for business reasons are not disposed to favor the plan.
 A resident of that portion of the city in speaking of the matter Saturday said that when East street was named the name was most appropriate, as it was then the most easterly located street within the city limits, but since the ex- tension of the limits and the taking in of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards this significance is lost and the name is a misnomer. The person referred to said further that a number of years ago during the rampages of the East Street Gang" so-called, Ihe street re- ceived an unsavory reputation and in consequence of that a stigma has cluns to that section of the city, the result

HER HEAD CRUSHED.
Terrible Fate of a Little Thtrteen-Y,
 Old Girl


 Terrible Fate of a Little Thirteen-Ye"r-
 Old Girl.
 On Saturday evening a very sad ac- cident occurred at Pawson park result ing in the instant death of Lillian May Smith, pretty and interesting child of thirteen years, daughter of Mrs. Wilbur Smith of 122 Ashmun street. The Smith family had boarded the steamer Hildegarde with the other excursionists to return home, it being about 6 o'clock, and had taken seats quite well aft on the starboard side. Miss Smith was watching the wharf, her head projecting beyond the side of the boat, when the boat suddenly back ed in getting away. As the boat back ed her head was caught between a stancion on the boat and wharf spile, crushing her skull. She died almost in stantly and did not have time to utter a cry. There was a cry from the people who witnessed the accident. The boat was started ahead, releasing the body of the dead girl.
 iiAo DCA CebNSSt lllpLliSl w eto ebiAAAosS frantic with grief over the terrible af- fair. Every possible attention was shown the mother, and the remains of the child were tenderly cared for by the officers of the boat On the boats arrival at her dock here Medical Ex- aminer White was sent for and made an investigation.
 Edith Stromberg, who witnessed the sad affair, gave the medical examiner the facts in the case, as did also the Rev. Clarence B'spham, who was on the boat and one of the passengers re- maining when Dr. White arrived MT. Bispham had heard the circumstances of the accident from the lips of others. Dr. White on learning the facts decid- ed that the girls death was purely ac- cidental and that he did not see how anyone could be censurable under the circumstances. He delivered the body to the custody of the mother.
 The girls skull was crushed, but her face was not disfgured. Dr. White says that death must have been instan- taneous. An ambulance was sent from the Grand avenue precinct and the re- mains were taken to Lewis & May | cocks undertaking rooms. Mrs. Smith rode home in a carriage, accompanied ! by Rev. MT. Bispham.
 | Captain H. N. Pond of Clinton ave- l nue commands the Hildegarde. He is a careful boatman and is not regarded as to blame for the accident. Those | on board say the girl was unmindful 1 of any danger hI1t was leaning too far from the side of the boat for safety.

OLD GLORY.

In Honolulu-Extract From a Soldiers
 Letter.
 Following is an extract from Hono- lulu letter of June T:
 "The boys in blue were furnished with writing material and Hawaiian postage stamps and place to write while on shore and the result is 1000 letters were left by them to be posted by the next mail for San Francisco. One boy told friend of ours that he had written forty-four letters. It cannot be but that many a mother, wife or sis- ter hearing how their dear ones were so kindly cheered on their way will bless this little American colony for its loving deeds. We raised about $4,0O0 to meet bills.
 "One would think as he rode along our streets these days that we had surely been annexed for on every side dear Old Glory meets the eye.

being that property there has greatly Appreciated in value and it is almost impossible to secure tenants of de- sirable kind even on the highly respec- table portions of the street, simply sow- ing to the reputation given to it by lawless characters years ago. It is thought that by the change of name much of this repugnance to renting and buying property there will be over come.
 A number of citizens living on the street and owning property there have for some time been considering the ad- visibility of a change of name, and the name Manila has at last been decided upon, both on account of it's being eu- phonious and because it commemorates one of the most notable events in Amer ican history.

 Church.

Rev. N. J. Squires at the Congregational
 Church.
 Rev. N. J. Squires, pastor of the West Haven Congregational church, at yes- terday's firemen's service read the pres ident's thanksgiving proclamation and in his remarks spoke of the victories attending our arms and of the great cause the American people have for giving thanks to Almighty God for His mercies and for vouchsafing to us these splendid triumphs; for to God belonged the glory. He spoke of the discipline of our sailors and their thorough train ing for their work and alluded to the lack of discipline evidenced on the French steamer Bourgogne in conse- quence of which many lives were sac rficed that might have been saved. He spoke also of this country's acquisition of Hawaii and of the conspicuous work which American missionaries did in those islands, and bespoke a speedy higher state of civilization there among the natives now that the country has acquired them. The sermon was a very interesting and able discourse and was listened to with satisfaction by a large congregation.
 The annual picnic of the Sunday school of this church takes place next Friday. They go to Pawson Park The boat will start from Nugent's wharf.

He was mustered in Sep tember 8, 1862, going with the company as a corporal. On his twenty-first birthday, May 8, 1863, he was wounded at Charlottesville, Va, bullet en- tering his shoulder. When removed to the hospital the surgeons operated up- on him and the bullet was extracted without administering anaesthetics. The bullet extracted was handed to MT. Twichell, and he kept 1t the remainder of his life. After recovering sufficient ly to leave the hospital he was trans ferred July 20, 1863, to New Haven, where he was attached to the Veteran Reserve corps, being made orderly ser- geant of Company F, Third regiment. December 1, 1863, he was promoted to sergeant and February 29, 1864, was promoted to first sergeant. He was discharged July 6, 1865.

DISFIGuRED
 FOR LIFE

Our little girls humor commenced with 6 tiny sore on one nostril, but 1t kept on spread ing till we thought she would never get it cured. We tried everything we could get, but it kept getting larger all the time, till both nostri!s, the upper lip, part of the loooer tip, and up one side to the eye, ,cere solid sore. We thought there was no cure, and that she would be diSfgured for life. Finally we tried CUTICURA REMEDIES. We used CUTIoURA REsoLvENT and nearly box of CUTcURA (ointment), and in a short time she was en- tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor.
