It is certainly a pleasing sign of | unity to see the veterans of two wars | in procession together once again on | Memorial day, for on next Monday | the Spanish war veterans will for the | first time in three years parade with | the men who risked their lives in the Civil war for country's sake. While all Grand Army men are on the same 1 level, the major-general and the pri- l Vate being comrades and rank in the
 same army is given no consideration, 1 still it would be of more than passing | interest to see the veterans assembled l in order of date of enlistment, or if | possible in regimental order, that is those who enlisted in the first company l to go from New London to Joe in the
 van and then followed if rotation
 according to regiment down to the rep
 resentatives of the Twenty sixth regi- ment, the last that was made up in
 part of New London companies. If | this could not be satisfactorily accom- | pIished, perhaps a separation of the | surviving members of the first com
 pany from New London from the other
 members in the parade would be an l interesting and patriotic feature, and l the distinction would not be detri- i mental to the brave men who enlist | ed subsequently, The band of three
 months men would not be large and | after nearly forty mine years it would be well to see the boys of that perios | side by side once more in parade. ! IHt IlTSL organization to TeSpOno lO | the call for troops by President Lin coin was E company, Second Regi- l ment Infantry, and known in
 state organization as Rife company C.. l vors are residents of New London at 1 the present time. They are: Sergeant | Thomas M- Waller. Privates Joseph A. l Burrows. George Giybey, George Haven, | Daniel Lake, John $. Noland, and | Hezekiah B. Smith.
 New London also furnished com ! panies in the First Conn. Heavy artil- ! lery, and in the Fifth, Tenth, Twelfth, | Thirteenth, fourteenth, and Twenty
 sixth infantry regiments, and was | represented in every other Connec- ticut regiment, as well in the regular army and the navy and in the revenue | marine service.
 Mayor Mahan declares that there is | an awakening at hand for New Lon | don and that his plans Of progress are receiving the appreciation of many 1 of the heretofore conservative citizens l and whose conservatism has tended to l hold back progress and advancement. l This support from unexpected sources | has given the mayor encouragement to | renewed activity and he will. if pos | sible, make the proposed changes in l Howard street, build the Ocean avenue 1 extension, annex part of Waterford. | widen Bank street, build parks and a | new city hall, and do many more ] things of equal benefit to the city and 1 dII III tfle line OH ptOBTtSS- llS may : believes in the old tramp printers | saying, after tiring of a couple of i weeks steady work, If you can't pull | with town. pull out of it. I don't like | the town, please cash my string and I'll get out' The mayor says that men who should have led have pulled against progress, simply because some 1 of the progressive plans would not of gold into their pockets. He says that now the heretofore conservative citizens are falling into line in favor of everything that has a flavor of years to bring about this change but he now believes the day of awakening Is near at hand.
 The new St. Joseph Roman Cath oic church in Montauk avenue will be dedicated next Sunday wiuh the customary impressive ceremony by Rt. Rev Bishop John A. Milan and the Monsignor Michael J. LaveiIe, Of New York city. The new church from an architectural standpoint Is among the handsomest- in the diocese and is built of native granite. It Is only three years ago when St. Mary's parish Was divided and the southern section of the city set apart as a new parish and Rev. William C. Fftzsimons placed if1 charge. The change came suddenly to the people and there was much dis satisfaction at the start especially to those who resided in the new perish, many of whom had been contributors to the building of St. Marys church and who had been con tr7butors to its support since the dedication. Gradually this feeling faded away and now Father F'itzsimons has the united aid of all his parishiofiers.
 When Father FftZsilnons assumed charge of the new parish there was no available place within the limits of the parish where divine services could he taS1d h1 NarL don Opera house Sundays and services un- der direction of the first pastor of St. Josephis parish were held in the juris- dictfon of St Mary's parish This was hard working pastor was equal to the emergency and he caused the erection of a rude wooden structure where macs has been said regularly ever since. This was located adjacent to the sfte of the present handsome church ed ifice and etandx there now in marked contrast.
 Father Fitzsin1ons imm ediateiy com menced raising funds for the erection of the church and his efforts Were heartily seconded by the parfshioners and the result is creditable alike to the pastor and people, to the city Of New London and to the Catholic dfo- cese of Hartford.
 There are at least two steam yachts of large dimensions that hail from other ports but their home port Is in reality New London, even f not so officially recorded They are Henry NJ. Walters Narada, Capt. Dudley Brand, and James J. Hills Wacouta, Capt. David Weed, as both captains are New Londoners and the yachts are here more than at any other port. They winter here and spend much of the summer here and combined they are a S much benefit to New Lon don as a fair sized manufacturing es tablishment. All the officers of the Narada and some of the crew are under pay every day in the year and have been connected with the yacht ss long that MT. Walter considers them a part of his yachting family and cer- tainly treats them as such. The Mar ada has made many foreign trips and went to New York during ef,e present week to await the orders of MT. Wal ter IL Is not known st aiz time whether the yacht will cruise in home or foreign waters during the yachting season.
 The Wacouta, was formerly Skaters yacht Eleanor. and is in commission loss than three months each wear. Mir. Hili and party of friends makes an
