The Third company, c. A. C., c. N. C., was at the Laurel Hill range on Tuesday for their annual field day, at whichthe men shet at the 200, 300 and 800 yard ranges, thirteen of those who tried the targets qualifying for marks men. This is a much smaller number than usual but Is largely accounted for, the Coast Artillery men say, by the stiffer regulations under which the rifle practice is held this year. In the present orders for rife practice, the score on each of the targets is made on a straight string of ten shots on each range where 1t was formerly al- lowed to make the scores in two strings of five shots each. This, the military men say, would make q cong siderable difference In the. scores.
 The thirteen men who equalled or exceeded the qualifying mark of 9S out of a possible 150 were the following:
 Private Mason 119, Captain Church 11S, First Lieut. Denison 117, Private Sherman Ill. Sergeant Brewster 118, Sergeant Smith 106, Corporal Lester 106, Corporal Kelly 103, Musician Pendleton 102, Private R. Swanson 99, Private Bruette 99, Sergeant Thorpe 99 Corporal Stewart 98.
 Under command of Captain George E. Church the company left here for the range by the 7.45 trolley on the Westerly road, making soldlerly ap- pearance as they marched down Franklin street in the morning from

NEW LONDON CASES
 BEFORE SUPREME COURT One on Fire Insurance Claim, the Other Over a Trolley Accident.

When the supreme court of errors came in here on Tuesday, the first case argued was that of Giro Benanti vs. Delaware Insurance company, in which the insurance company appeals from a verdict of S9S5.50 given Benanti by a jury.
 Benanti was in the grocery business in New London. He had fire and claimed -S1,149.91. The Delaware h. surance company claims that Benanti submitted false stock lists and ac count, and that he was not sole pro- prietor of the store.
 This was followed by the arguments in the appeal of Wellington Allen vs. the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Co.
 Wellington Allen, formerly of New London, now of Bridgeport, sued the Connecticut company for injuries sus- tained when he was hit in the head by trolley pole as he was riding from Norwich to New London, May 30, 1907, and at the jury session of the superior court in Norwich last fall was given s3,000 by the jury.
 The counsel for the Connecticut company moved for the setting aside of the verdict and Judge Ralph Wheel CT ruled that the verdict should be set aside. Then the plaintiff took the appeal to the supreme court.
 MT. Allen resided in New London up to a few years ago when he removed to Bridgeport. At the time of the accident he was returning from a Bulkeley-N F. A. baseball game at Norwich with crowd of young men. The car was crowded and he was forced to stand on the running board.
 MT. Aliens sister, Miss Eunice H. Allen, has an appeal to be argued at this sitting of the court. She sued the city of New London and got a big judgment at the same session of the court, Judge Wheeler setting the ver- 1 dict aside.
 After the Wellington Allen appeal, the court heard the arguments in the | suit of Thomas McCaffery vs. the Gro- ton & Stonington St. Ky. Co. Me- Caffery sued the trolley company for $5.000 for erecting a pole line. The | jury gave him a verdict of $2,5S0 50 and Judge Greene refused the motion of the trolley company that the yer | dict be set aside, the company taking this appeal. The final argument in this case is to be completed when l court comes in this morning.

MAYOR THAYER TALKS
 ON CONGRESSIONAL TIMBER.
Thinks His Client the Only Man Who
 Can Carry Democrats to Victory.
Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, May 7.-Mayor Thayer of Norwich, who is here on the con- tested election case of Higgins vs. Jodoin, said last night at his hotel that he looked for lively campaign for the nomination for congress in the new Second district.
 The addition of two counties to the old district, he said, had brought new men into the game who would have to be reclxoned with. He did not know as the new sections of the district would present candidates for the republican nomination, although he had heard some mention of Representative Hen rvs name, but no one seemed to have authority to speak for him. MT. Hig- gins would, of course, be candidate for renomination, he satd, and he had heard the name of ex-Governor Weeks of Middlesax county mentioned, and there was kng Of Willimantic, who would like l. come down here for a few terms.
 On tho democratic side, he said that Mayor Dunn of Willimantic was said to be in a receptive mood as regards the nomination, and the name of Mayor Mahan of New London was frequently mentioned, but in the opin- ion of MT. Thayer. MT. Jedein, the present contestant for the seat, was the only democrat that could carry the district for the democrats.
 When asked what he thought of the nominations made by the republicans for city officers at Norwich, he said they had named a strong ticket and one that had some good vote getters on it."

ro pRoP NAVAL STATIONS.
Congress Likely to Abandon New Lon
 don and Four Others This Year.

The naval committee of the house, in the naval appropriation bill which will be reported immediately after the passage of the legislative bill has pro- vided for the abandonment of the old naval station at Sacketts Harbor, N. Y, in accordance with the recommend alton of the secretary of the navy who has urged 1t in the interest of econ oniy.
 While the station at Sackett's Har- Dor requires comparatively little ex- penditUre of the public funds for main tenance, it Is held by Secretary Meyer that so useless a reservation might as we'll be transferred from the jurisdic ton of the navy department.
 For the same reason the secretary has recommended and the naval ap- propriation bill will provide for, the abandonment of the naval stations at San Juan, Culebra, Port Royal S. C., and New London, Conn. At Port Royal is a disciplinary camp, to which are sent enlisted men who have broken the regulations, but whose offenses have not been serious enough to justify sending them to prison.
 The navy departmt mt Is anxious to have this legislation enacted at this session Previous attempts have fail ed because the matter has been taken out of the bill on point of order in the house and not restored in the sen ate,
