Captain Baldwin Leaves for New York
With Airship on Cars.

Capt. Thomas Scott Baldwin. aero
naut, owner and navigator of the Cali
fornia Arrow, left Norwich Friday
evening for New York on the 100
train.
Because of the unpromising weather
outlook, the captain decided to give up
the idea of a fight Friday and all day
his men were engaged in preparing the
equipment for the return to the big
city. The balloon was debated, the
frame of the airship taken apart, the
tent taken down, and everything was
transported to a car on the New Haven

NEW ENGLAND 10
OLD MAIDS PARADISE.
Impression Of Former Norwich Man
on His Visit East.

DIR. and Mrs. S. c. Graves. the former
son of Rev Samuel Graves, former
pastor Of the Central Baptist church of
this city. have just returned to their
home in Grand Rapids, Mich. after
New England tour during which they
visited Norwich while it was preparing
for the 250th anniversary celebration.
Speaking of their return the Grand
Rapids Herald says:
DIR. and Mrs. s. G. Graves returned
a few days since from a tour through
New England, during which they Wis
tied at the old home of the former
Norwich, Conn, known throughout the
east as 1.-THE Rose of New England
The city Is preparing to celebrate on
the town and the 125th anniversary Of
Its Incorporation as a city. Beside
these figures the recent observance of
Founders day in Grand Rapids and the
celebration Of the city's eighty second
anniversary pale into insignifcance.
DR.. Graves moved to Norwich with
his parents, Rev. and Mrs. Samuel
Graves. when but one year old. His
early manhood was passed there. On
of his youth still living in the town,
some of them ranking among the city's
foremost business men. Charles frank
la OF the Boston store was formerly q
resident of Norwich.

self transported to the shores Of old
England, which the country much re-
sembles. Settled for two and a half
centuries, the rawness to which we in
the west are accustomed has disap-
peared and the old homesteads bear
many of the characteristics Of merry
England"
DR.. Graves came to Grand Rapids
with his parents when but IL years old.
His father, Rev. Samuel Graves, was
a Baptist minister, and it was through
his efforts that the two warning fac
lions of the Baptist church of Grand
Rapids were united. Rev. Mr.. Graves
was instrumental in the founding of
the Fountain street Baptist church,
and one or the handsome memorial
windows of the present structure rep
resents him in the act of baptizing a
child In the waters Of the Grand, with
the church in the background.

AUTO WENT OVER
TEN-FooT ENHANCEMENT.
q. F. LeavItt's Car Didn't Turn Tur-
tIe-Occupants Only Slightly Hurt.

While returning in his automobile
from Lincoln park, Friday evening,
Benjamin r. Leavitt, secretary and
treasurer Of the Uncas Specially COM
pany, went off an embankment near
the former residence of Superintend-
emit Pollock at the Norwich hospital,
and was thrown out Of the machine,
but fortunately not hurt beyond bruis-
es and scratches. Mrs. Leavitt, who
was with him, was also thrown out,
but without any more injuries than her
husband suffered.
Where the accident happened there
is an embankment about ten feet high
over which the machine went, but 1t
stayed upright, although the shock
threw both Mr.. and Mrs. Leavitt out.
Just before he was thrown, Mr.. Leav-
lit managed to grab the emergency
brake, and this probably kept the ma
chine from turning over. The acct
dent happened about 11.30 o'clock and
word was sent up by a passenger on
the last trolley from the park to Sc
cure help to get the automobile home,
as it was supposed it might be badly
damaged.
Eugene Pattison was notified, and
at once started down there with q
machine, but before he got there, Mr..
Leavitt had extricated his car from its
position off the road and was on the
way back, meeting Mr.. Pattison on the
way. The Leavitt machine was able
to come home by its own power
