it may have been peculiar taste,
there were very few but what were
glad to see once again the train of
sleepers that had been our home
for SO many days. When in our
good car Dsrius we we're soon
soothed to sleep by the imaginary
rush of water at Niagara.
Some of the party who had re.
mained at Toronto, in the evening
had gone over to Hanlan's Point
to participate in number of the
fun factories located there. They
Joined US on the train, and looked
about as tired as we felt. We had
no time to trade experiences with
them for it was late and We were
expected to reach Kingston, Cana
da. at a very early hour next morn
ing to begin what promised to be
another memorable sight seeing
day.
At Kingston the party started
down the st. Lawrence to Montreal.
An entire day was devoted to this
delightful journey among the
Thousand Islands. Transfer was
made at Prescott to smaller boat.
one built to withstand the strain of
shooting the rapids of the st. Law
renoe. which are not nearly SO dam
gerous as they appear, Soon after
the last glimpse of PRESCOTT faded
the first of the troubled waters met
the view, and from that time the
steamer glided on with steadily in
creasing motion past the GaIlops
the woodland-into the turbulent
waters of the Long Sault. past
Cornwall. through Lake st Francis,
past Cedar Rapids. Cascade Rapids
and Lake st Louis. where the
Ottawa river discharges its waters
into the broad ST. Lawerence.
Leaving ST Louis. the town of
Lachine. nine miles from Montreal,
was passed, and on the south bank
the little Indian village of Caugh-
nawaga.
Here the boat passed under a
magnificent oantileYer bridge and
entered the fieroest, most difficult
navigation and most celebrated of
as we'll as the last of the great st.
Lawrence rapids-the Lachine-
then on to Montreal, where the
train was waiting to convey the
party by rail to Quebec.
Here 200 of the number took the
boat for the trip up the Saguenay
river, one of the most wonderful
streams on the continent.

Quebec, going and returning

through Rosedale and so back to
the Queens through the business
portions of the oity.
A large number of the party
took a steamer at Toronto for a
sight, the most stupendous of
all the earth-Niagara Falls, and if
we had serious thought during
the trip save when We were looking
into the depths of pair of blue
eyes that returned the look with
interest, it was while looking at
this stupendous freak of nature
We disembarked not far from Tor
onto ana clambered into street
cars which took us up the rushing
tumbling river on the American
side. through the gorge route and
up into the beautiful little City of
Niagara.
Our brief stay here was very
much appreciated by us, as it has
one of the most expensive atmos-
pheres we have ever been in They

breathe at Niagara before many
years, as they are charging today

crossed the great bridge. just below
the falls and reached the Canadian
shore where magnificent view of
both the American and Canadian
Falls is afforded

tits with both regret and reluctance
that we must acknowledge that the
Canadian Falls far excel the Ameri.
oan from every point of view, and
when our street oars stopped ON
the other shore we were covered
with mist and spray that Thorough

spent in viewing the great falls We
continued our journey down to the
large monument to General Brook.

where the Canadians tell you, with

killed IN the battle.
From the Brook monument we
continued down the mountain,
gathering wild flowers and induIg-

the wharf and waited for our steam
ship to take us back to Toronto.

Age of Hickory Chapel

In July, 1856. now over one
half a century ago. the Hickory
Chapel Church was fret builded.

majestic oak by being split into

INFANTS BODY FOUND
Boys Playing Near Riverside Cemetery
 Made a Discovery.

By the side of the Naugatuck river this morning on North Riverside street the dead body of female in fant fully grown and a few days old was discovered by some children playing in the vicinity. The body was covered with bag which was firmly tied over its head
 It was about 1880 this morning when Thomas Moss and David rrau- rig, two Brooklyn boys, were playing in the grass across the entrance to the Riverside cemetery. They were running around and happened to walk down by the river, the bank ot which is close to the road at this point. They noticed bundle near the water and their curiosity aroused them to see what was in it, and after dragging 1t to the lot above the river near the residence of Henry Begnai they got the bag of and saw that it was baby. They immediately spread the news and soon many women in the neighborhood were in sight. The bag and the other rags WuiCu SOSOlCu tuo Cliilu WCIc iSuV.s- ed and couple of sheets were placed over the dead body. About an hour and half later Officer Hayes, who is on duty in this section, was notified and accompanied by Ofiicer Bowling went over to learn what they could about the affair.
 Medical Examiner Crane was noti- fled and after viewing the body stat ed that he thought the child was dead when born, although he said that the cord which was wound three times round the child's neck might have some effect upon the case. He placed the remains in charge of Un- dertaker Stewart.
 Yesterday several people were in the locality, but saw no bundle. so 1t is believed that the body was left there last night.

FIRED ON AUTO.
Would Not Stop When Darien Offlcers
 Called Halt.

Norwalk, June 25.--A large New Jersey automobile. containing five men, was fired upon by an officer when 1t was pasisng through Darien last evening. The car. while going at good rate of speed. was appar- ently not travelling so fast as to re- quire any action by the authorities. Just as the car was entering Darien the officer jumped from the roadside and waved red flag. and at the same time called out a command to stop. The action so surprised the chauffeur that he made no move to heed the command until he had gone we'll past the officer.
 He was preparing to come to a halt when the officer pulled his re- volver and fired point blank at the car. At the first shot the chauffeur put on full speed and got out of range as quickly as possible. No stop was made until the car reached Norwalk. An examination was made and 1t was found that two bullets had passed through the lower part of the tonneau, another grazed the side of the car and fourth struck the gaso- lene tank but did not injure it.
 Before the men continued their journey they consulted Hurlbut & Davis. law firm of this city. with the purpose of having steps taken to bring suit either against the town of Darien or the officer.
 The occupants of the auto refused to make their identity known. Yes terday at Darien five automobiles were held up by the constables. Court was held by the roadside and a fine of s25 without costs was taxed upon each offender.
