THE FOOT GUARD.
Old Guard Notes-Major William w
Boardman a Foot Guard.

1t may not be generally known that
Major William w. Boardman, whose
memory Is to be honored and perpetu-
ated by the hanging of his picture, q
steel engraving, In the Boardman Man
ual Training school, was major of the
Second Company Governors Foot
Guard from May IS, 1926, to September
II, 1925 The present board of educa-
ton, who is presenting this handsome
memorial to the school, will probably
add this fact to the inscription on the
engraving. Superintendent Beede
heard this interesting bit of history
yesterday morning for the first time
and Immediately said he should suggest
the addition Of it to the inscription
which had already been outlined. Ma
jor Boardman was the husband of Mrs
Lucy Boardman, through whose gen.
crosby the Manual Training school was
added to the educational advantages of
our city.
Hon Lnyde Harrison has presented
a portrait of Major Boardman to Ma
jor Clark of the Foot Guard and an
enlarged picture will be made from it
and hung in the company room at the
arnOry.
There is great enthusiasm among the
men and a generous rivalry among the
companies as to which shall contribute
the largest sum to the reception fund.
At present the Brownies" Captain
Leonard Bostwick's company, are in
the lead.

doubt as to his recovery.
He has owned the John Brown home
stead for several years. A movement
was started some time since with the
object of raising funds to purchase the
old homestead and preserve it, but lit

lowing preamble and call:
| Whereas, The constitution of Connec-

the fair fame of the state. and
Whereas Many attempts have been
made during the past fifty years, by in
dividuals, by newspapers and both POI
lltical parties to bring about the much
needed changes in the fundamental law
of the state, which have been invarla-
bly, thwarted by Interested persons
seeking their own advantage and not
the highest good of the commonwealth
In the hope that by the concerted ac-
tion Of all good citizens this much need
| ed reform may be accomplished, the
| following call is issued
| The independent voters of Connecti-
cut, regardless of past political aflilia-
tons, either national or state, are here
