AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.

On the occasion of Presentation of Por- trait of the Late Major Boardman. The fine address delivered by Rev. pr. Phillips, chaplain of the Second Co, Governors Foot Guard, on the occasion of the presentation to the company in behalf of Mrs. Lucy H. Boardman of a superb portrait of Major William w.. ! Boardman, who commanded the Foot Guard from 1926 to 1928 is in part as fol- lows:
 Captain Johnson and Comrades: have to perform a very pleasant duty tonight, though a duty that might perhaps more appropriately be per formed by some one not a member of this command, But unfortunately no member of the family was able to
 be present at this time
 Major Boardman was not a native
 of New Haven but came of a promi-
 nent New Milford family, where he
 was born October 10, 1794. On both
 sides the blood was of the best, his
 father came to be a United States sen
 ator; his mother was a descendant of
 William Whiting, one of the first set tiers of Hartford, and intimate friend of Rev Thomas Hooker, Litchfeld Academy, Yale college. and the Cam bridge law school gave him his edu- cation and preparation for life.
 Coming to New Haven for the prac- tice of his profession, he rapidly nov ed to the front both as a lawyer and a citizen. A few words, full of sugges- tfveness, serve to outline what was a long and honorable career; Judge of probate, councilman and alderman for ten years member of the state legis- lature, speaker of the house, United States congressman.
 He was deeply interested in religious and philanthropic institutions, became a warden of Trinity church. director in the state hospital, and was active in the establishment of the New Haven hospital.
 In the business circles of the city he was one of the most prominent and best known figures; he was director and president of the Water company, director of the Gas company, the Tradesmans bank, and the New York and New Haven railroad
 In recognition of his scholarship legal and public spiritedness, Trinity college honored him with the degrees of M. A. and IL. D.
 I have been unable to find the date of his joining this command, but in 1929 he was a captain in the company under Major Charles B. Grannis, and | took part in the great parade in hon. ! or of General Lafayette, August 21, l 1924 Lafayette came to the city by | the canal and had an imposing escort,

 FEATURES
Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l..
 Mclean & Co.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. l.. Mclean & Co. New York, March 11-After such un- favorable news from London last night it was only reasonable to expect a somewhat sharp reaction in the stock market to-day. and considerable sur prise was expressed that the market held up like 1t did, but we repeat that the insiders hold most of the stocks and do not intend to liquidate them except at their own terms. In spite of the
 low bank reserves and the many severe shocks that have been administered to the speculative market during the past six months. prices are gradually work ing to higher level.
 The new currency bill. now before congress, is sure to become law and will be the biggest bull argument that we have had since the bank law passed some two years ago. When this bill becomes a law it will mean a great in tlation of currency and is sure to bring about a period of wild speculation. Whether or not the benefits will be lasting remains to be seen.
 Chicago markets: We advise cover ing shorts wheat around 76 and short corn around 61. We would then wait for further rally to put out another short line, but if May wheat should break below 75 12. would sell 1t again for a further decline or on any sharp rally.
