 been made for the presentation Of the silver service to the battleship Con- neoticut, which is being built at the Brooklyn navy yard. Before he left on
 the trip to Virginia Governor Roberts had some correspondence with the off, cials of the navy yard on the subject of the presentation. It was practically de- cided to defer the presentation until the ship is finished and in commission.
 This may be in June or July.
 Governor Roberts, who is the chair man of the commission, and former
 Mayor Henry c. Dwight, of Hartford,
 the secretary, have had an informal talk on the matter, but no definite un-
 derstanding was reached as to the time of presentation or the programme to be carried out. Nothing will be done until the governor takes the subject up again.
 The statement was made on Friday, though not authoritatively, that the presentation will be made at a Con- necticut port-New Haven or New Lon don-rather than in the Brooklyn navy yard. If Connecticut port is selected

 Yesterday was communion day in most of the city churches and there was a good attendance at the various places of public worship. In the Episco- pal churches services appropriate to the Lenten season were in evidence. At St. Pauls church in the morning the Rev. DeWolf Perry, jr., preached a powerful sermon from the words And there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour"
 The Rev, MT. Peabody of Groton preached at Battell chapel in the morn ing. His theme was Salvation by Faith.'
 At the First Baptist church the Rev. F. E. Divine of Hartford occupied the pulpit in the absence of the pastor. the Rev. Frederick Lent, who has gone on vacation trip to the Bermudas. In the evening there was a special praise service at which there was a very large attendance.

 The regular communion service was held at the First Methodist church. A large congregation was present. The pastor, the Rev. F. T. Brown, as is GUS tomary when nearing the end of the conference year, made an appropriate and torching reference to the memory of those members who had passed away during the year, making special men, tion of the late Horace J. Morton and William J. Bradley, who were both members of the official board of the church, and who took very deep inter est in the church's welfare, both also being liberal contributors towards it's mission and other works. Next Friday afternoon at 3:S0 the annual meeting of the Women's Foreign Missionary socie- ty and annual thank-offering service will be held in the church, to which all those interested in the work of foreign missions are invited.
