THE GARDE HOTEL.

The great prosperity and growth of of series of boxing bouts under the oughly we'll kept and well managed in stitution, Its rapid growth in business is phenomenal, as Is evidenced by the frequent enlargements of the premises. It is only a few years ago since the place now marked by the large and handsome building In which daily scores of travellers register, was occupied by the little Pavilion hotel The Pavilion did not seem to prosper and although it's nearness to the railroad station was in- viting, yet most of the travellers pass ed it by and went further up town.
 But new management succeeded and in place thereof rose the "Garde," handsome, up-to-date and well equipped in every respect. Under the new man. agement the business more than pros pered and several times since then have new and important changes and en- largements been made.
 Now again the sound of the pile driver is heard and the masons at work are erecting new walls. A new addition on the rear of the hotel is being erected which will increase it's capacity nearly two-fold. When this is done the "Garde," with it's unparalleled service, its splendid cuisine and its large num- Der of rooms, will be easily one of the largest and finest hotels in the state.

 The Naval militia spent one of the most enjoyable holidays in the history of the organization yesterday. Early in the morning steam was gotten up on board their new yacht, the Elfrida, and Reynolds the day was spent in cruising on the sound.
 to the Hartford division for the day, but they failed to put in an appearance. Their company was not missed, though, by the local sailor boys who seized the opportunity of again having the boat for the day, with alacrity. The men messed aboard the ship at noon and spent the entire day in cruising.
 On the return al evening the boat was anchored at Morris Cove and the men returned to the city by trolley car It is thought that the cove will be the permanent anchoring place for the steamer hereafter, as it is much bet ter anchorage than the other.
 Twenty -four members of the New Ha- ven division went out on yesterdays sail and the officers aboard were: Com mander Reynolds, Lieutenant Hutchin- son, Ensign Hutchinson and Assistant Engineer Spencer. After leaving the harbor, the EIfrida steamed south near ly to the Long Island shore, then talk ing long turn of about five miles she headed for Wharton's Point. Just be- fore reaching the point she turned and steamed to Cornfie1d Point and from there came back to Morris Cove. On the trip the men were put through a drill in adjusting the compass and in navigation. The boat left Heaton's wharf at 9:30 yesterday morning and anchored at Morris Cove at 6:30.

PRAYER OF TEE PORTO RICANs.
They Present a Second MememOriaI
to the President Setting Forth
Desired Reforms.

Washington, May S.-Senors j. Ju-
li0 Henna and Manuefzeno Gambia,
commissioners from Porto Rico to the
United States, have presented a second
memorial to the president, reiterating
the prayer of their first petition.
They ask the following concessions:
F'irst-The cessation of military gov
eminent and the establishment of
civil rule in the island.
Second-The establishment of abso-
lutte free trade between Porto Rico and
tie United States.
Third-The reduction of American
Il oops and the enlistment of Porto
Ricans.
Fcurth-The right of American citi-
zens in the island.
On the subject of military control
''the subject of reforming the Porto
Eican system does not properly be-
long to the army officers who now con-
troll Porto Rico or to the war depart
ment, but to the Porto Rican people
themselves"
IN contending for free trade relt-
tions with the United States they as
sert that economically speaking the
pc opIe were better off under Spanish
rule than under the present military
control of the United States, and add
thar Porto Rico has done nothing to
deserve to be forbidden admission to
the American markets or to be starved
10 death through high duties under
the tariff promulgated by the war de-
