IlTCHFIEID HOTEL
Purchased by Phelps After 100 Years Tavern Where Lafayette Stayed in 1924,

It is an interesting fact in connec- ton with the sale of the United States hotel at Ilftchfield to Eugene L. Phelps, last week, that it is a case of coming into his own, as MT, Phelps ancestor, who was also that of the late Edward Phelps, minister to England, was the proprietor of the hotel one hundred years ago. It was then famous tav- ern. The upper floor was ball room where the assemblies, attended by the students of the Litchfield Law school and the pupils of Miss Pierce's school, were given. Lafayette was rendered a reception there when he visited this country in 1924. MT. Phelps is push ing the rebuilding of the upper part, and other Improvements very rapidly.
 He has made no definite plans for the future, but it is strongly hoped that he will take charge himself and change the name, in view of it's his- tory. to Phelps Tavern.
