FIRST BALE OF COTTON.
Sold to General William S. Ely of Nor wieh by Daniel J. SuiIy, ex-Cotton kins--Forn1er Maenate Happy al Watch Hill Residence.

It is an interesting fact recalled by former Cotton King Daniel J. Suliy that the first bale of cotton he ever sold was to the late General William s. Ely of Norwich.
 How Mir. Suliy became ex-king of the cotton market is a matter of his tory. In his palmy days, about 1901, he built his magnificent summer resi- dence at Watch Hill, Kenneth Ridge, by courtesy cottage" 45 room house set in a three acre tract over looking the full sweep of the Atlantic shore and the picturesque East Dunes. The house was planned by Mrs. Sully, each of the 45 rooms with it's dis tinctiVe color and decorative scheme, music room, living room, suH parlor, morning room, billiard room, dining room in exquisite delft and white be- ing study in itself. Some of the sleeping rooms are 45x56 feet and one the rose room, affords the most charming views east, south, north and west.
 MT. Sully and his family made this their summer home for eleven years. Then by a turn of Fortunes wheel the Cotton King lost his money and had to set to work to earn a. living. Their fine New York home with it's splen- did furnishings had to go. The own CTS of Kenneth Ridge came to Watch Hill as year-round residents in 1912. They topped the big entrance to the grounds with quaint sign copied from one Mrs. Sully had seen in Eng land, bearing the hespitable motto:

Ye who enter
 This wide open gate, None come too. early, None return too late.

Kenneth Ridge became an inn for motoring parties and others. and dur ing last year over eight hundred guests enjoyed its hospitality, among others entertained being Mrs. J. Pier pont Morgan and family.
 There is 8 rumor that Mrs. Morgan is coming again this season, but on that point the ex-Cotton King will say nothing just now. He is busy these fine spring days as The Man With the Hoe, weeding In his rose gardens and directing his men. who are rolling lawns and otherwise beautifying the another rumor, that the cotton market had been promising him good pros poets of late, he was equally uncom- municative.
 Just tell our Norwich friends that we are well and happy here" he said, smilingly. And both facts were self evident as the monarch went back to his hoeing.
