 RECEPTION BY FORESTERS.
Court City of Norwich, No. 63, Had Many Guests-Chowder and Music Proqramme,

A large and enthusiastic crowd as- sembled at Foresters' hall Friday even- ing to enjoy a reception and entertain ment that was rendered by Court City of Norwich, No. 63, F. of A.. to their members and to the members of Court Sachem, No. 94, F. of A., and host of visiting friends. The first part of the evening was given over to to the en- joyment of a splendid banquet, that was served in A No. 1 style by John which he is especially noted, coming in for a generous share of praise and compliment.
 Frank J. Murtha acted as master of ceremonies, and with the fine pro- gGamme that had been prepared not from the time he took his seat on the platform until the last number had been concluded.
 The Union uuartette-George w. Stanton, first tenor; William E. Stin- son, second tenor; John J. Slattery, ond bass-sang several selections. All were we'll received, but thase that made a specially pleasing impression on the audience was 2 solso by Wil- liam F. Stinson, Some Day Again, ana a solo with Quartette accom- panimenf, Ireland, Love Thee, by John J. Slat- tery. Dr. C. B. Capron accompanied on the piano.
 During the evening addresses, which were given for the good of the order, were made by Past Grand Chief Ram ger Edward T. Burke, Chief Ranger w. F. Mahoney of Court City of Nor wich and Chief Ranger Dona Semino of Court Sachem. Councilman John Barry made a few remarks and the evenings affair was concluded by a short talk from Past Chief Ranger George Fox of Court Sachem.
 Professor Daubler furnished the main part of the entertainment, which consisted of mystifying feats of selight of hand work. He reeled off a number of puzzlers and was given a good hand. He was assisted by Miss Hazel Ban field, who played the piano during the time he was performing.

will be installed at Mohegan lake so as to force the water through the main faster than it can be draughted which will give the necessary. pressure to force it to the hilltops.
 One commissioner said that he fla vOred placing q pump at the Peck Hol- low brook at Yantic and pumping the than the one to Mohegan lake, to the Meadow brook basin, and from there it would run into Fairview reservoir. This would be only a temporary 1ne, but only about a mile and a quarter of pipe would have to be laid. If it is decided to reconn end this to the special city meeting to be called, not the adjourned meeting of Tuesday night, the meeting win be called upon to make an ppropriation or authorize it for this work. A supply of a month or more is believed to be at Fairview and Mohegan lake.
 Fairview reservoir on Friday when measured showed that it was holding it's own at 33S inches, the same sized stream coming in from Meadow brook Mohegan lake has dropped one inch being down eleven inches. and by to- day it is expected that F'airYiew will show drop.
 The second well at Meadow brook basin is down 245 feet and the first well is down 465 feet Work on these wells will be stopped Monday and a test will be made Tuesday, according to the present plans. It Is uncertain whether these wells will furnish suffi- cient water to pay for pumping them
 The water pressure was much better on Friday getting up as high as 62 about 6 o'clock, and residents on the hills were able to get water in most all localities throughout the day.

quite little in the way of discussing the water situation took place at the regular monthly meeting of the board or water commissioners on Friday evening, at which all the members were present with the exception of President Ryan, who was kept away by poor health. Acting as president pro tenn. was Councilman Lang. Mayor mayer was in attendance at the ses- sion.
 The fact that residents of the hill- tops are without water and have been for some time in certain places was considered and it was decided to put on some teams to cart water to these houses, furnishing it from watering placed in tubs or barrels for household use. These receptacles will be kept supplied and this service to those houses will be started this morning, stated Superintendent Corkery Friday evening, the arrangements in accord arlce with the instruction of the board having been made.
 The question of securing a tempo rary supply was talked over but no decision was reached, though one will be in time to present it to a special city meeting which it is expected will be called for about the middle of next week The outlay for the work must be authorized by the city meeting. The fact that water can be pumped for a temporary supply from the Trading Cove brook, Peck Hollow brook or from the Yantic river above Norwich Town was considered and it is be- ljeved that the work of laying the pipe and making ready to get such water can be done within two or three weeks. To secure better pressure al the pres ent time 1t is probable that a pump
