 The band then rendered a concert for half an hour, during which time Mayor Studley and the committee were most royalty entertained as the residence of Frank l.. Stiles, Mrs. Stiles acting as hostess. ....
 The party then resumed the trip by trolley to Wallingford. On this jour- ney opportunity was given to examine the perfect character of the road and roadbed of the new construction, which is among the best in the state.
 About 5000 people greeted the visitors at Wallingford and there was a perfect pandemonium of noise from bells, fac- tory whistles and cannon. This had been going on ever since 12 o'clock, the beginning of the noon hour, and so Wallingford will remember the day for some time. The buildings were hand somely decorated The party marched to the band stand from the cars, where Warden Hall introduced Judge l.. M.

Edward I. Atwater made a brief ad. | dress in which he stated that the off. cials of the Business Mems association had been acting for the trolley road uI 1 to this time, but that now General Man. ager Rutherford had taken things into I his own hands and that those present were now MT. Punderfords guests. General Manager Punderford, wher introduced by Chairman Atwater, oi the Business Mems association, stated informally that the new enterprise wa opened and he trusted that all would work together cordially for it's success as such meant healthful benefit not only to the road, but to the citizens oi New Haven, Wallingford and Nort1
