 Foot Guard and PhaIanx. But of all the troops that marched. the Governors Foot Guard and their bands and the Putnam Phalanx and their drum corps made the big hits of the day. The people of this section of keastern Connecticut seldom get a look at these continental coated troops and they were delighted to see them. The Second company of New Haven had the right of the line in their section. There were over 100 men in this com pany and their great bearskin head pieces,s scarlet, silver trimmed and ep- auleted coats, cream colored, tight fitting pants, and dark leggings, made them a center of attraction and re- cipients of ovations from the start to the finish of the parade. This was also true of the First company of Hartford immediately preceding the carriage, who was accompanied by Adjt. General Cole.
 In the carriage following were the members of his staff as follows: Maj. Archibald E. Rice Waterbury; Maj. Louis M. Ullman, New Haven; Lieut.. Com. Frederic A. Bartlett, Bridge port; Adjt. Gen. Col.

 Arrival at RockcIyffe.
 The entrance to Rcckclyffe in some ways resembles that to the renowned estates of foreign lands, with it's mas sfve granite walls and parapets with pestern-like turrets atop ofwhich fut- tered clusters of flags, prominent among which were the emblems of Norwich in great profusion. At inter- vals of Is feet along each side of the broad drives leading to the mansion xon the hill were placed American and Norwich flags alternating, making narticularly brilliant effect as they fluttered in the gentle breeze.
 Upon attaining the crest of the hill the spacious residence stood out prom inently in its setting of sturdy oaks and single large American flag way ing joyous welcome from its pinnacle on the roof.
 The automobile containing President Taft and Hon. Winslow T. Williams mounted the crest of the hill and came to a stop at the entrance on the west at 11.20 o'clock President Taft was received on the porch by MT. and Mrs. Williams.

 about a fine specimen of quercus alba,
 about five feet high, that the president

 generous spadesful of earth upon the
 roots of the straight white oak with
 that precision for which he is so noted
 when making the rounds of a golf

 joked with Governor Weeks, saying,

 seats upon the porch and the guests
 began to arrive in large numbers via
 automobiles mostly, but some in pri-
 vate carriages. All found cool re- treats upon the spacious lawn under the trees. At 12 o'clock President Taft
 and Mrs. Williams took positions on
 the lawn beneath the large oaks at the southwest corner of tue house, where
 some three hundred distinguished
 guests and the officials of the celebra-
 ton and their wives were presented to
 President Taft and Mrs. Williams. The
 last handclasp and cordial greeting
 were given and spoken at 12.50 o'clock.

 WIN SIN STRAIGHT HEATS
curran's County Bester Lost Match
 Race-Time 2.14 1-2; 2.18 1-2; 215 1-2.

More than seven hundred people wis., ited the Willimantic Fair Grounds race track Monday to see the match race between Louis N. Dondero's Donny- brook, and John Curran's County Beater, both of Willimantic.
 The weather and track conditions for high class racing were made to order and the race was pulled off with hard ly a hitch.
 Donnybrook took the pole in the first heat which he won in 2.14 1-2, with Countey Beater two feet behind.
 Donnybrook had the pole in the sec ond and won the heat in 2.1S 1-2, with County Beater fifteen feet behind.
 Donnybrook took the third heat in 2.15 1-2. with County Beater about six lengths in the rear. Donnybrook by taking three heats won the race, which called for three out of five heats.
 The Curran horse broke twice in the second heat and once in the third. This settles a long, time-worn dispute as to which horse was the better, and as a result over s2.000 changed hands.
 The officials were Thomas Sears. William Latimer and James Small, the timers John Henry, w. l.. Williams and Paul Couture.
