REALLY NO RACE.

The officers of the latter steamer still
maintain that there was no race and
laugh at the claims of the Bridgeport
people that their craft should be called
the Queen OF the Sound.
President Jenkins said that Capt Hardy
of the Peck on Thursday last, after look
ing over the Payne in New York, said
he proposed to show the Payne people the
day following that they were not 30 much
President jenkins added today:
This conversation we had with our
captain who informed Superintendent
Connolly OF what Capt Hardy said, Su-
perintendent Connolly communicated with
me, and instructed him that II the
Payne got ahead OF the Peck we were TO
hold our position II possible. On the other
hand, II the Peck got away first, l In
structed him under no circumstances to
make an effort 10 pass her.
Neither Capt. Hardy nor Chief Engi-
neer Wright will deny over their own
signatures that their boat did not do
the best she could under the circum-
stances Neither will they claim that the
Peck passed the Payne, and they might
with truth claim that they were never
before thwarted whenever they set out
to pass a steamer.

CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY.

''If they deny that they made the best
time they could. and did not try TO pass
us, we will produce a man who was
aboard the Peck. who took her revolu-
tons and the amount OF steam she was
carrying and the time she was making
between the different points.
''In order 10 make the contest OF more
than passing interest. the Bridgeport
Steamboat company will ask the New
Haven Steamboat company TO give 10 the
Bridgeport hospital $500 II the Payne
wins, and the Bridgeport Steamboat COM
pany will pay an equal amount 10 apy
charity the New Haven people will name
II the Peck wins. This cannot be consld-
cred as a gamble, for OF course neither
company would entertain any proposition
of a gambling nature.
"The Payne is a new departure from
the ordinary lines OF shipbuilding In this
country. She is a sidewheeler turning
faster than any boat ever built In the
United States, and simply as a test OF
types we think IL desirable for the two
boats to meet at some future date ana
settle the question OF supremacy as far
as swiftness Is concerned. In order TO do
this we suggest that the two companies
take their two boats off the regular SER
vice, allow no passengers aboard. go to
New London, and race from that point
TO Execution Light.
OLD LINE MEN CONFIDENT.
One OF the officials OF the Old Line
company said today; THAT Bridgeport
push would make you tired. If the Peck
ever gets after the Payne the latter wont
look as big as an eel pot when We get
through with her"
Gen. william e. Morgan local agent for
the Old Line said he would gladly accept
the challenge. He was anxious for the
meet. but he had to find out first what
his superior officers would say on the
subject.
There was report here today that the
Peck and the Payne had another race out
OF New York yesterday afternoon. Capt.
Hardy of the Peck said Il was not so. The
Peck passed the Payne in New York and
that was the last seen of the bridgeport
boat.

MILL
MACHINERY
T. Kay WOOlen Mills Have
Modern Equipments
Two Carloads Latest Imp
proved Machinery Arrives

The first of two carloads of new
machinery for the T. Kay woolen mills
has arrived, and is being unloaded.
The shipment represents machinery
to the value of $5O00 and, with the in
stallation of this machinery, the size
of the mill will be double what 1t was
when first established here. In fact,
the Salem plant is now second in size
of all wooden mills on the coast. The
size of the mill is being gradually In
creased and it's output enlarged by the
addition yearly of the latest and most
improved machinery.
The new machinery consists of two
of the latest improved looms, which
make a total of 32 that will be in op-
Grafton. 1t also includes one large
extractor for wooldrying purposes.
One of the most valuable pieces of
machinery received is a Sergeant wool
washer. This is an automatic ma
chine for the washing, securing and
rinsing of wool and is great labor
saving device.
T. b. Kay, manager, says the com
pany has orders on hand sufficient to
take the entire output of the mill for
several months in advance. The mill
is being operated day and night, and
the company has 115 persons en-
ployed, with n monthly pay roll of
over $4,000. When the plant was first
started it had a pay roll Of less than
$4,000.
