industry, and therefore they ought tc have 1t, and men of capital, even to a comparatively small amount should not hesitate to invest and he believed they would. He said he had conf dence enough in the undertaking to underwrite the $bO,000 worth of stock, and in so doing MT. Bond practically assured the coming of the much-need- ed industry.
 It was pleasing action and an indi- cation of a general break-up of an ex- isting resolution among some Of the wealthy residents to look with dis favor upon all moVeme ents to add to the industrial interests of the city, be- ing sslfishly content with their stump tlfous surroundings, and living by themselves regardless of the condition of their fellow men. Their aim in all that pertained to the public was along the lines of making New London a rea- identisI rather than a manufacturing city. MT. Bond knows ths city of his birth and its needs and comes to the front as a leader in an enterprise that may mean a general revolution of the business interests and make New Lon don, along with Groton. the main busi- ness center of the state. There is no reason why New London could not be both a residential and a manufacturing city. MT. Bonds example is worthy of emulation and has caused some of the satisfied -with-themselves to sit up and rub their eyes.
 me annual mGctln1 or tnc GouNeehi@ cut Fire and Drum corps in New Lon- don Wednesday was Fl novel gathering The parade was wholly of martial mu- sic and every ona of the paraders con tributed in the Furnishing of the music. some of it being along the lines that prevailed when the oldest inhabitant of today was baby in arms. lt was the kind of marching music that was i'm spring and which caused the veterans of the Civil war to applaud the march ing corps, here and there fin the line, that made a speciality of playing tunes after which the vets marched fin the days that tried mems souls.

All of the corps were iu attractive uniforms and did their very best with flies and drums in the sev- eral competitive tests.
 Many were convinced that after all, for marching music, there is nothing superior to the well played fife and drum. combination that will probably last forever, even if the United States army has discarded drums and the modern drum corps have made innoVa- tions and have thereby created sort of combination of brass band and drum corps; but fin the words of tho songster:
 Some rave about the music of our
 Sousa and his band,
 And some say Paderewski transports
 them to happy land;
 Others like to hear the music of tho
 Violin's sad hum,
 But for me there is no music that can, 70. beat the fife and drum.
 In honor of the coming of the drum corps there was liberal decorationE along the line of march and the visit ors were given a hosptablo welcome.
