LONDON, July 3O.--Republican
Spain or limited monarchy under

Civil war in Spain is regarded here

BIG COCK FIGHT
 NEAR GOLDEN SPUR.
Sports from All Over New England said to Have Been at Pitside-Fif- teen Battles for S1 ,000 Side.

One Of the biggest cockfghts ever held in this section of the state in point of attendance was held on Thurs night Friday morning. somewhere in the vicinity of the Golden Spur at East Lyme, but whether in East Lyme or Waterford could not be learned. There were many sports from all over New England who arrived for the bat ties, and it was almost impossible to get a hack CT an auto in New London Thursday night because of the de- mand for vehicles to reach the pit side The fight was between Massachusetts and Rhode Island birds. although 1t was understood here that Hartford and Providence birds were to take part.
 It was reported that the battles would not start until about two this morning and probably not finish until six. The contest was for the best eight out of fifteen battles and the wager was $1,00O a side. It has been some time since a cockhght has been here hereabouts and a number of the local sporting fraternity were intending to be present and watch the battles.

In Memory of Noah webster.

The enterprising sisters of the D. A. R. chapter of West Hartford have taken up in earnest the scheme for q practical monument to Noah Webster, a native of that town. They are agi- tating for a Webster library for the town, and there should not be any doubt about their success. A lot worth S4,000 has been given to them for this purpose and they have a number of local subscriptions, but they need a total of $25.000, and that is more than such a small town is likely to find it easy to raise. Webster himself left books from his own library to West Hartford and these would be the nu- cleus of the hoped-for public library. Everybody who can read knows who Noah Webster was and that every thing that has ever been said or ever will be said in the English language will be found in his dictionary; at least the words are there and for the rest it Is only a matter of arrange ment- All English-speaking people are under obligations to him. No doubt, when the circular letters go out some outside help may be found. What would make the thing sure would be for Mir Carnegie to take hold. The arguments gre of the sort to appeal directly to him.

MORE RUMoRS ABOUT
 GROTON SHIP YARD
Boston Firm, However, Is Not Likely
 to Locate There.

The revival of a rumor that a ship yard was to be installed on the former site of the Eastern Shipbuilding com pany's plant in Groton, has been caus- ed by the efforts made by some men, interested in shipbuilding. to see what advantages might be secured by go- ing there.
 NIT. Chesbro. the yacht designer of Bristol has been anxious to establish a yard in Groton. He and George Lawley of the firm of Lawiey & Son of South Boston have looked over the plant. They approached Groton town officials. to see what the attitude of that town was toward abating taxes for a number of years
 MT. Lawley was interviewed iI Bos- ton last week by a New London bus mess man. who was anxious to know if anything could be done to persuade the company to come to Groton. MT. Lawley said there was nothing to be offered him to quicken his decision on Groton as a site for a shipyard He said 1t was true that Lawley 6 Son had sold -roperty at South Boston, occupied as a shipyard, and must move. MT. LaWley said when his firm settled on a location it would in all probability not be east of Boston.
 The son, who has been an active member of the firm was also inter- viewed and sad that he would not consent to coming. to Groton. If his father desired to establish a, plant in Groton, the younger Mir. Lawley said. he would remain in Boston. He said that much of the firms business had been derived from eastern yacht own CTS and that the business would not be improved by leaving the vicinity of Boston.
 The New London business man re- turned to say that he was satisfied that -he Lawleys should be eliminated from the list of probable occupants of the Groton yard. They have been ship and yacht builders for many years and have constructed probably more yachts all sizes considered than any other firm in the country.
 It was known a fortnight ago that Groton officials had been asked what the sentiment of the voters was toward another shipyard and it was known that officials of the town felt confident in assuring the projectors that every possible encoura cement would be given an industry Many persons believed that the questions were asked in a confidential way and refrained from speaking of them

LING ARE DRIVING
 SMElT FROM THE RIVER.
Expected That There Will Not Be
 Many This Season.

Henry B. Lewis and others of the local fishermen who know about all there is to be known of fishing in the Thames and Shetucket rivers are pre-
 dieting that the run of smelt this year will not amount to much because of the
 presence of another fish, the ling, in
 the river. Last Saturday Mir. Lewis
 scooped his first smelt of the season,
 thereby keeping up the record he has
 held for years, but the smelt scoopers
 say the ling are eating up the small
 and toothsome smelt so that there is
 not much prospect of big netfuls being
 taken here. The ling appeared in the
 river last fall in large quantities, as did also the whiting. and both ofthese being voracious feeders with big mouths the slender smelt has small chance to get up to the head of navi- gation.
 But while the ling are gobbling up the smelts they are doing one service for the fishermen, for the are also eat ing the bothersome cunners, which ev-
 eryone who has ished in salt water knows are a veritalble pest in the line of bait stealers. Many a fishing party out after blackfish has done nothing but feed cunners all day, so that there will be no regrets to hear that they are being cleaned out by the active ling and whiting.
