they were led into in the parade by
the pace set by the ecorting militia
In all their experience in marching the
local men stated that they had never
seen such a gait and 1t was dangerous
for men Of the present age Of most
veterans to attempt to follow 1t.

The Founders' Gift to Michigan Park.

Norwich may well take pride in Sc
curing so fine a specimen of the
Quercus Alba Cor white oak) as that
transplanted this week in Michigan
Park. Aside from its historic interest,
it is a. perfect tree ID years of age
and ten feet in height. The crimson
foliage is very attractive, many of its
leaves remaining on through the win
ter until loosened by the swelling buds
of spring. Its history is authentic
dating from 1S47, the birth of the par
emit tree, now standing In Bushnell
park, Hartford, rear the capitol. whel.
Samuel Whitma1s young graduate of
Yale, during a search for fringed
gentian, picked en- acorn from under
the old oak on the Wyllis place and
planted 1t In a flower pot. In 1855, a
fine tree having developed, it was ac-
cepted by the park commission and
placed in its present location at 19
years OF age. II is needless to say the
tree reflects great credit on the care
given It and It is hoped this may be as
successfully cared for. Both trees
commenced life in flower pot.
