Norwich bulletin., 1909-06-25

There was meeting of the fOrma- tion committee at the directors room of the Thames National bank on Thursday evening, at which many de- tails were settled upon, including the formation of the divisions. It has been decided that there will be but six di- visions of the parade, although it was thought at one time that there would be seven Since then, however, the committee has decided that all can be taken care of in six, and that will be final unless there is a large number of new participants.
 It is very important that any organ ization contemplating going into the parade should notify Chief Marshal Colonel c. w. Gale at once, and if any organization which has signified it's in- tention to participate has unintention- ally been overlooked they should notify the chief marshal at once, that they also may be assigned their place in the line.

 John Mason's Sword. Mrs. Amos A. Browning. chairman of the loan exhibit. has secured for display the sword which belonged to John Mason, which was given to the  ety by Lyman Gallup of Norwich, who was a lineal descendant of John Mason, of the sixth generation. The sword was here in Norwich fifty years ago, and it is thought was carried in the parade.
 Mohesan Indians in Parade. As there were 50 years ago there will be a number of Mohegan Indians in the parade this year it is expected. Fifty years ago, through the influ- ence of General Williams, the Mohe- gans were invited to join in the bi- centennial celebration. Mrs. E. T. Baker of Mohegan writes The Bulle- tin: 'T think there are few, of us living who were grown up people at that time. I rodeS but one of my sis ters, with two other women, walked with the men. After the parade, Gen. eral Williams gave us fine dinner in the garden back of his house."
