The three-masted schooner James Davidson came up Qulnnipiac river yesterday and tied up at the wharf Of the Connecticut Adamant company with 750 tons of plaster loaded at Windsor Nova Scotia. Captain Charles NJ. Gilmore reports that it took him just two weeks to run down the coast. although the Davidson. which Is a New Haven schooner, is one of the finest crafts of her tonnage on the coast. The long trip was oc- casloned by very light winds, head winds, and. in fact, part of the time the vessel was becalmed. This is the first cargo brought here this year, but the Davidson will go right back and bring in another cargo.
