A farewell surprise party was given at the home of Mrs. Belair of Provi- dence street Thursday evening in hon. or of Miss Antonfa Belair, who is to leave in a very short time to enter St. Francis hospital, Hartford, as a nurse Among the ladies and gentlemen pres ent were: Mrs. Alexander Reeves, Miss Marie Pratte, Miss Florida Marsan, Miss Amanda Belair, Miss Elmina Be1afr, Miss Rosie Caron. Miss Ethel Reeves, Miss Eva Bousquet and Miss Grace Bousquet, Miss Ora Trudeau, Anthony Fuller, Louis Pratte, Arthur Belair, Fred Asley of Norwich, George Vidal of Providence, Henry Turcotte of Wil- limantic, Joseph Belair, Alexander Reeves

WANT NEW LiGHTSHIP
 FOR BARTLETT REEF.
More Safeguards Also Wanted at
 Other Points in Sound.

Most of the big transportation com panies have united in an effort to se- vessel. against the dangers of Bartlett reef. A new lightship, modernly equip ped, is the principal object. The mat ter, it is said, has been taken up by the lighthouse board several times, but a formal petition from navigators Is expected to give the proposition more impetus.
 The old foghorn on the Bartlett Reef light vessel, navigators claim. is not as effective such an, important sta ton should have. The reef is by far the most dangerous point to be passed in sound navigation. It is seldom that anything goes aground there and IS hauled off without beir seriously dam aged if not broken to pieces, before the wreckers are able to complete their work.
 The late instance of tug Lehigh grounding with three barges, when tug and all of the barges were gotten off with practically no damage, is a piece of luck which the mariners can not explain satisfa ctorily. On the strength of this mishap, the Lehfgh Valley railroad, owning the vessels, has taken the matter up with determi- nation to show the lighthouse board the urgency of equipping the station with better navigation aids.
 So many currents nlingle in the vii cinity of Bartlett Reef that the luckiest of pilots feel sensation of awe when passing the point in stormy weather The Race eTnits a violent current against the reef and this is made worse by the currents of Thames and Connecticut rivers combating each other for a stretch of several miles in length.
 A lighthouse to be built above the reef, as the new light station at South west ledge Is. would be the proper thing. A steam lightship might sery e the purpose. At any rate, siren with a wide range is needed -o give roper warnings to navigators. With the prospects Of heavy ice foes tanning against the light vessel and liable to send her adrift at any minute the idea of the station being vacant is not pleasant one.
 At Plum Island too, louder siren is the need, according to mariners. In all of the recent heavy weather the needs for better warnings on both of these stations has been shown.
