marching along fell headling over an old kitchen chair left on the field, and prompted by sudden desire to smash it" when he had a good opportunity. shouldered it and carried it across the river and within the union lines. Here he flung it aside. but Lieutenant Linsley gathered it in and carried it to camp CWhat there was left of that locality an acre Of barren ground and tre sky over u.
 From thence the chair followed the fortunes of the regiment in all its wan derlngs. It was at Portsmouth, at Suffolk, at New Berne, Kinston and many other camps. Notwithstanding Linsley's capture of Kinston and subse- quent imprisonment the officers of Com pany K cared for the memento and brought it home with the command in 1865.
 By agreement between the vterans named, the survivor of the two was to fully inherit this now valued memorial. Linsley died in 1901, and it passed into the hands of Sergeant Thorpe, who will allow any old comrades of the Fifteenth Connecticut to sit in it if they will call | upon him.

the free driving would consist of spine -jolting rides with the old farmer on a springless wagon when he went over to buy some salt mackerel for the guests dinner, and I was equally posi- tive that the two mails day meant that I'd be lucky if received my letters and papers two times week."
 Here the man who had vacationized in the country suddenly broke off and again began to give vent to a series of dray chuckles.
 Well" put in his companion, ''you found out when you got there the diff renee between anticipation and reali- zation, of course?" \
 Nope" said the chuckler, as he pre- pared to swing off the car i'll the face of danger, T didn't. There isn't any diff ference. My anticipations exactly dovetailed, in every particular. with what I got out in the country" And then, skillfully lodging the fierce blow which his companion suddenly leveled at him. he swung off the running board while the car was in full motion and es- caped.-Washingto Star.

REVIVAL OF THE DRESS CAR
 RIAGE,

ILlANTCs
 There is every indication of an early revival of the luxurious and costly dress carriage which was such a con- spicuous and picturesque feature during the early days of the late queens reign. At the present time landaus and broughams are the vehicles chiefly used by the nobility for state occasions, but since King Edwards accession they have fallen into disfavor. The king himself is known to have expressed his atisfaction--disgust is perhaps too strong a word-with the fact that the somewhat sombre carriages which are driven up to Buckingham Palace for the drawing-rooms are in many instances the identical ones used in the daytime for shopping purposes, and his Majesty has quietly intimated wish that dress carriages might come in vogue again for evening court functions.
 A dress carriage, it may be explained, is a most elegant equipage. It's body is hung on C-springs and braces; at each of the top corners Is coronet: a gaudy hammercloth covers the coachman's s box: the whole vehicle is paineed in the family colors; gold and silver plating are there in abundance; and the inside is gorgeous with brocaded silk. The cost? Well, it depends entirely on the length of the purse. You can pay as much as you like for 8 dress carriage,

 These petitions were listened to with interest by all those present and the vote to pss the recommendation of the committee on streets was a unanimous one. Other matters of the committee on streets was brought up and dispos- ed of in the usual manner.
 A communication was received from John P. Phillips stating that by the re- cent cutting through of St. Roman street to Edward street his property. which was condemned to the extent of | $10000 and that aside from this his property abutting the new street was 1 taxed to the amount of $242, and an abatement of these taxes was asked for. The matter was tabled for a second hearing at the last meeting of the broad and last night on motion of Alderman Logan the matter was taken from the table and referred to the committee on claims, after the report of the commit tee on compensation was read and ac-. cepted.

 explained and nearly all of the alder
 men seemed pleased with the machine.

RACE TRACK ITEMS.

One of the -'rst to greet the Courier representative at Charter Oak park yes- terday afternoon was George W. Spear, i for three years trainer for N. W. Hu- binger, and now in. his third year as trainer for E. F. Smathers of New York In company with E. F. Geers the conversation turned on sandwiching three heats, which is practiced this sea- son for the first time. MT. Spear Is in favor of the new style, while Mir Geers informed the writer that horses could go faster as they have more time to cool out and recover from a hard drive.
 A very friendly greeting that the writer received was from Cyrus Lukens of Philadelphia, writer for the Trotter and Pacer and other turf journals. MT. Lukens has missed but few meetings at Charter Oak since the park was first i opened in 1874
 Norman s. Parker, formerly of New Haven, now of Hartford, was at Char ter Oak park yesterday.
 Those who patronized the refreshment stands at the races found everything at double the ordinary price. 1 H. R. Durant and George L. Lilley of Waterbury were at the races yesterday When the latter gets nomination he'll find his popularity will win votes from both parties.
 On the programme for to-day at Hartford is the 2:O9 pace, s3,OOO; 2:19 trot, $1.5OO; 2;O4 pace, s1,5OO, and 2:25 trot, $l,50O.
 All these classes are well filled.
 Three good races are on the card for Thursday. The meeting will close on Friday with two races. An extra race not included in the foregoing has been l added to the original nrogramme

lures. taking this subject because Springfield is the home of some of the well known soldiers of the Philippine campaign. President Roosevelt said in part:
 Mir Mayor and you, my Fellow Amer icans-I thank you from my heart for your greeting, and know you will not grudge my saying that of all those present I feel peculiarly pleased to meet here my comrades, the men of your Massachusetts regiment behind and be- side whom I served at Santiago. (Ap- plause.) Ladies and gentlemen, the men who went to Cuba were your brothers, sons, kindred, neighbors. The men who served in the Philippines in the uniform of the American army have been again your brothers, sons and neighbors.
 Last night spent at Northfield. Two centuries and over ago Northfield was the frontier and We have Massachusetts now because we were not afraid to eX- pand then, and we are not afraid to ex- pand now. Goud applause.) Our des- tiny unexpectedly took us to the Phil ippines I don't suppose any of us when you and I, my comrades, went down to Cuba thought much of the Philippines, and did not know much about them. I did not. We got there. We found that We had job to do, and we did it. GA voice, That's right, and did it weIl') And did 1t well-yes, that's good, and much more, We have no apologies to make for it.
 Our soldiers in the Philippines have been attacked because occasionally one of them did something wrong. Wher- ever it has been possible to find them out the offender has been punished GA voice, That's true.D And I ask you, when they blame over-much Uncle Sam's men in blue fighting for their 1 lives against treacherous foe in the heartbrealxing work of jungle warfare, if our critics remembered, in speaking of the occasional shortcomings of the men who did wrong under the stress of such terrible temptation, that We are not altogether immaculate at home. | (Applause.) I would be sorry to have
 any one of our cities, even the best even Springfield-judged by the record of it's police courts. If you paid atten-
 ton purely to that you could make it cretty bad showing for any city In the land.
 Occasionally soldiers in the Philip 1 pines did wrong. but, on the whole, the
 men who for three years in those is lands have followed the flag of the
 United States have added a new page
 to the honor role of the nation. (Ap-
 plause) I think, however, that our | troops warred under greater difficulties
 than those in the Philippines; troops of
 ours have warred against more danger
 ous foes. but never in climateh under
 conditions which called for such reso-
 lute perseverance on the part of the
 men. In the steaming heat of the trop-
 ic jungles, starving, footsore, so weary
 that they dropped to sleep in the mud
 wherever they happened to fall down
 at every step fearing ambush from 2 foe who was felt before he was seen
 and among a population that greeted
 with friendiness the oncoming troop:
 and seized the stragglers and put then
 to death by treachery-those men hat indeed a heavy burden to bear. and think that the men who sat at home could have afforded to be more lenient
 in bearing judgment against them

USEFUL ANYWHERE.
A Way to Prevent Car Sickness.


 A gentleman describes how he pre- vents car sickness. He says, About one year ago took a trip to California for my health. I had always suffered greatly when travelling and have been unable to eat ordinary food. A friend who knew this advised me to take Grape-Nuts with me and I purchased a number of packages
 During the entire journey of five days ate nothing but Grape-Nuts prepared with milk and sugar and I gained strength steadily and suffered no illness whatever, besides at the end of the jour- ney found to my delight that I had gained five pounds in weight.
 consider Grape Nuts the best food in the world. it keeps perfectly is not bulky and is easily digested, is strength giving and far preferable in every way to ordinary food" Name given by the Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 There is one sure way to prove wheth- CT or not Grape-Nuts does rebuild and strengthen the brain. Try 1t ten days or two weeks Thousands know it does, from actual experience, but everyone should make the trial himself.

MILITARY CHEST OF co. c.
Fifteenth Regiment, Connecticut Vol
 unteers.

Fifteenth Regiment, Connecticut Vol
 unteers.
 This chest was made in 1864 in New Berne N. C., by First Lieutenant Solo, mon r. Linsley, of Company K, acting commandant of Company c, after the death of Captain s. s. Smith. Lieuten- ant Linsley had charge of it until the muster out of the regiment in 1865, and brought it home with him.
 The records and various papers per taining to the history of the members of Company c, from their enlistment to their muster out of the service, were carefully filed and cared for by him un- til his death. It was then placed in charge of Sergeant & B. Thorpe, of Company K, who transferred it to Com pany c at the thirty fourth reunion of the regiment at Branford, Conn, Au- gust 24 1901. By vote oe the members of Company c it was there placed in the custody of Joel Griffin, of that company, with authority to examine the contents s, and to give out such documents or pa pers as would be considered of interest to his comrades as souvenirs of the civil war, and then to intrust the chest and balance of its contents to the keeping of the Historical society, of New Haven Conn.
 The contents of the chest are three bound volumes. one book of instructions to company clerks, two books of bayo- net exercises, one book (paper cover) General Instructions of Military For malities, necessary by the rules of war Also several hundred documents of va rious kinds necessary to conducting the affairs of the company, chief among which are almost complete set of the published orders issued at New Berne N. C., while the Fifteenth regiment was there.
 The tender of the chest was made tC the Historical society, which for some reason declined to accept the trust, SC that Company c still finds itself in pos session of the valuable relic. It may eventually find a resting place in Hart ford.
 Lieutenant Linsley also brought home with him from the war another much prized relic, which has passed into the possession of MT. s. B. Thorpe, the reg imental historian. It seems upon the retreat of General Burnside's army from the disastrous field of Fredericks, bury in December, 1862, the Fifteenth Connecticut was among the last of the regiments to leave the front. The night was pitch dark and the withdrawal o1 our farces was conducted with the ut. most silence. Sergeant Thorpe II

 At Westfeld, the scene of the boy hood days of the presidents helper, stop of half an hour was made. Ap- plause was loud and continuous when he mentioned the secretary's name Governor Crane tonight has the pres- ident as his guest here. The town is beautifully illuminated, Japanese lan- terms and red, white and blue lights being displayed everywhere. Early in the morning the president and his en- tire party will be given drive from Dalton to Stockbridge, passing through Pittsfield and Lenox, and the opportu- nitv will be afforded to view the pic- turesuue scenery of the Berkshire Hills.
 | Springfield, Sept. 2-President Roosa- welt was greeted by more than 75,000
 people in Springfield, fully third of
 whom heard him deliver an address on l Court Square. The presidential train . arrived late--at 5:03 D. m.--and, with Mayor Ralph w. Ellis in charge the party was driven in carriages to the United States armory. Lieutenant-C Col onel r. H. Phipps, commandant, direct
 ed the firing of a salute of twenty-one guns, and then the president visited the
 armory office He was keenly interest ed in the new model Springfield rife, an improvement over the Krag rife,
 now used by the army. He carefully
 examined every detail of the mechan-
 ism and finally asked. What of it's ac-
 curacy?"
 l Colonel Phipps assured him that the new model rifle will shoot much more accurately than the old Springfield rifle and somewhat better than the Krag.
 The president remarked that this was
 an important consideration.
 The streets were jammed with people as he was driven to Court Square
 where about 25,000 people were gather
 ed. Directly in front of the stand stood
 three companies of the Second Massa- chusetts regiment, which camped beside
 the Rough Riders at Santiago To these
 the president spoke very many times He dwelt particularly upon the duty of American citizens to respect the sol diers fighting the warfare of tropical ljungle and subjected to many tempera.

Fire was opened on her by the six inch rapid fire, the mortar and ten inch batteries and continued until word was re- ceiyed from Gardiners Point battery that the Puritan had been sunk in passing over the mine field at 5:37 o'clock.
 While firing was going on at the Puritan. small craft hove in sight. She was fired on by the six inch rapid fire and ten inch batteries as soon as she came in range.
 During all this time the Brooklyn and Massachusetts had anchored of the north side.

SITUATION AT 5:45 P. M. YESTERDAY

Army Claims to Have Won hy Many Points.
 New London, Conn. Sept. 2--5:45 p. m.- Thus far It Is claimed that the army has won by many points over the navy, and that the eastern entrance to Long Island
 Sound is strongly fortified against the in
 vasion of foreign foe.
 Two attacks have been made against the
 forts on the New London district between
 1O:20 D. m. Monday and : a. m. Tuesday,
 and another attack is expected at most any
 time. Headquarters at Fort Trnmhull is
 kept pretty well informed of the approach of the enemy, and the attacking party will
 not be apt to find a lack of preparedness
 on the part of the defence. Major Rest.
 commanding Fort Terry, in his report of
 both fights, gives a good idea of the work done. The report is as follows:
 Office of Post Commander. Fort Terry, x. Y., Sept 2, 1902.
 Adiutant General, Department of the East, Fort Trumbull, New London, Conn. Sir:-Last evening at 10:12 word was tele phoncd from the mortar battery to r. C.
 Station that warship was off Fort Michie. The ship was at once found in the light from Michie and identified as the Brooklyn. She was assigned to the mortar battery, which commenced firing salves at her at
 1915 D. m. Commencing at about 6,2OO yards. At 10:14 1t was seen that there was
 another ship just outside the Brooklyn. she followed the Brooklyn in through The
 Race. Was assigned to the ten inch bat tery She was either the Indiana or Mas
 suchusetts. The mortar battery fired at this ship also after firing several salves at the Brooklyn.
 Both ships passed to a point about 3.001 yards northwest of the flagship and fired at the post. Subsequently the vessels anchored about 2,5O0 yards north of the island and beyond the field of five of the
 ten inch guns and inside of the nearest mortar zone.
 At 4:45 d. n.. September 2. a searchlight l revealed ships in mist eastward of Gardin. CTS Point battery. The Kearsarge, Indiana l (or Massachusetts and Alabama were soon l in view and began firing at the battery named. standing to point to the west and 1 north and some 4.iOO to 5000 yeards from | tho F.

 1 All our. pieces soon opened on this fleet | (excppt the six inch battery).
 1 At 5:15 the firing ceased on our side as
 telephone message was received from Gardners Point battery that the three ships had been sunk in passing over the
 mine field. In a few moments the report was corrected to the extent that the re
 ported sinking of the Kearsarge was an l error. Fire was at once opened on thf

 Fishers Island, N. Y, Sept 2.-Con- trary to early indications the weather conditions are in favor of the army and with the aid of the numerous search lights on the island it will be difficult for the vessels of the navy to surprise the force here.
 Three ships. supposed to be battle ships, are anchored just east of the isl- and, in the direction of Gardiner's bay. Early tonight dispatch boat left the fleet and steamed away to the eastward. It is supposed she carried dispatches to Admiral Hgginson.
 The presence of the battleships in this vicinity leads the officers to believe that the navy will make an attack be- fore daybreak Consequently every pos sible preparation has been made to repel the enemy and tonight the soldiers are sleeping beside their guns.
