The HoImes-C.adY Reunion.


 The sixteenth annual reunion of the Holmes-Cady society was held at Crystal Lake, Ellington, Conn.,, Thursday, August 2l. The weather was ideal, which enabled the 100 members present to enter into the full enjoyment of the occasion. The old est person present was Dea. Orrin Converse of Stafford Springs, hale and hearty at 9i, and the youngest was Burton Francis Adams, three months old, son of Emery E. Adams of New Britain, and grandson of MT. and Mrs. J. o. Adams of Hampden. A number of new members were received into the society. At noon the assembly was called to order by the president, O. P. Allen, who extended a cordial welcome to all tile cousins present, and then introduced Fred W. Cady of East Providence, R. l., who, with fitting remarks, presented the president with gavel to be used hereafter to call the meetings to order. He said the material of which the gavel is made was taken from we'll preserved oak beam 20 years ago from the ancient Sabin tavern in Providence at the time it was torn down. This tavern was the scene of thrilling incident in l772, when the pursuit of Captain Linzce's packet by the British vessel Gaspe in Providence Bay, because Linzce would not allow his vessel to Le searched, caused the nasty meeting of an excited gathering at the old Sabin tavern, where the plan was con- coeted by the patriots to board and burn the Gaspe, held fast on the shoals down the bay. The plan was executed soon after midnight; the Gaspe was boarded, the twenty seven men and officers captured and the vessel burned. The assaulting party were disguised as Indians and were never apprehended. No one was in- jured save the captain of the Gaspe, i who fired pistol and was answered by musket shot in the thigh. This was the first blood shed with opening drama of the revolution. The Gaspe was burned nearly opposite the pres ent residence of Fred W. Cady of East Providence. The gavel was received by the president with words of thanks, who promised it should be used here- after by the society. The divine bless ing was invoked by Rev. 0. 0. Lyon. Every seat in the capacious dining room was occupied by members, and after the bountiful repast was duly disposed of the meeting was adjourned to the pavilion for the transaction of

For Best Composition

A gold medal to the boy or girl be-
tween the ages Of 10 and l5 who writes
the best composition, not to exceed
800 words, on the repair and mainten-
ance of earth roads, is to be awarded
by Logan Waller Page, Director,
Office of Public Roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, Washing
ton d. G. All compositions must be
submitted to Mr.. Page before May Is,
and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The composition may
be based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tions should be made.
After many years experience In
dealing with the public road situation
Of the country, IL is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject OF re.
pair and maintenance of roads Is as
much the cause of their bad condition
as any other one factor. 1t Is expect
ed that the competition will bring
about better understanding OF the
subject OF repair and maintenance In
the rural districts.
Many children living In the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack Of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their Interest
In the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining a proper edu-
cation and have even prevented doc
tors from reaching the bedside OF
rural patients In time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages men,
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side OF the
paper must be written on; each page
should be mum bered, the name, age
and address OF the writer, and the
name and location OF the school which
he or she is attending must be plainly
written at the top OF the first page.
The announcement OF the competi-
tion has been sent to the superin-
tendents OF schools 10 the rural
districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Otilce OF
Public Roads. This announce ment
should be plain to everyone, and all
children Will thus start on basis OF
equality.
