Certainly Norwich exceeded New
London in the electrical decorations,
for such decoration was unknown
twenty eight years ago. on the occa-
sion of the Groton centennial event.
nor even later on the 250th anniversary
of the founding of New London.
The celebration in Norwich was
very large affair, remarkably managed
and the immense crowd OF spectators
were made comfortable, the best OF or
der being maintained by the efficient
work of a large police forces
It may have been the biggest cele-
bration Norwich ever saw" but there
have been larger in New London, which
happens to be a part of eastern Con-
necticut In the electrical display Nor
witch excelled, but in other respects
New London's celebrations were on a
larger scale.
AS for the "harbor" display, New
London has warships while Norwich
has power boats, but the pyrotechnic
exhibit excelled that of New London
in every respect. But the New Lon
don events are now a part of ancient
history, unknown to many OF the pres
ent generation, and therefore not con-
sidered when statement was published
that the Norwich celebration parade
was the biggest ever seen in eastern
Connecticut.
According to statistics, one in every
435 of New London's residents are in
sane and perhaps the chap VINO here
attempts to show that two of New
Londons big events have not yet been
outdone by Norwich ought to be in
Guided.

The Seaside City does not envy the
Rose of New England, but extends con-
CALCULATIONS on the success and mag
nitude of the celebration of the 250th
anniversary of the founding of the
town. 1t was certainly a big affair,
perhaps outdoing all previous efforts
in that line, but as great as was the
parade it might have been greater, and
without hardly any effort on the part
Of the efficient committee.
OF course, down here in New London,
we never concede that Norwich leads
in anything. But say, despite the pub
lished statement that the parade was
the biggest event of the kind ever held
in eastern Connecticut, exception is
taken, and perhaps the chap who
caused the statement to be made
naver saw the big parade in
New London in 1881, on the occasion
of the centennial of the battle of
Groton Heights, or that on the occasion
of the 250th anniversary in New Lon
don.
The centennial celebration was the
biggest ever for New London, while
the 250th event was not on such an
elaborate scale. the procession was
longer than that held in Norwich
There were larger representations from
the army and navy, and two regiments
of National guardsmen, as against six
companies, and there were three in
stead of two companies of Foot Guards
as at Norwich, and the Putnam Pha-
lanx were here. too. The civic feature
of the procession was much larger for
in addition to the fraternal organiZa-
tons represented in Norwich there
were the Masonic organizations of New
London and other cities, and the large
volunteer fire department with visiting
companies.
In the matter of floats the credit
probably goes to Norwich, but Raphael.
the veteran cigar man, declares that
the floats in the big parade last Mon
day are not to be compared with those
that were in the Norwich parade of
1852

If any one thing has characterized
