HASH AND PANCAKES
Memorable Feast Served by the Pil-
 grim Sisters.

Memorable Feast Served by the Pil-
 grim Sisters.
 The hash and pancake supper given by the ladies of Pilgrim Church, in the social rooms, Wednesday evening was in the opinion of some of the most ex- perienced and discriminating connois- seurs in Canaan society-by long odds the most delightfully."- successful and successfully delightful event in the feasting line that has eventuated in Canaan this season. The few who missed it don't know what they missed. The many who enjoyed it wouldn t have missed it for anything, and are so vehe- mently clamoring for an encore that, if the Pilgrim ladies do not voluntarily re- peat the performance soon a public pe- titlon will be circulated for signatures, memoralizing them to put the griddle on again and get bnsy at the chopping bowl. The hash itself, as prepared by Mrs. Richmond, with the advisory and prac- tical co operation of Miss Bragg, was fit for the gods while the pancakes-both wheat and raised buckwheat-of vary ing acreage and angles, carried even the oldest inhabitant back to the days of his childhood and recalled the cakes that mother used to make. The grlddles were superintended by Mrs. Edith Rowe, Mrs. Lucy Freeman, Mrs. N. l.. Jackson, Miss Carre Fuller, and Miss May Adam.

Governor Baldwin Stands for New
 England Institution.
 In his speech at the Business Mems banquet in Manchester, last week, Gov. ernor Baldwin, referring to the anti railroad agitation, said:
 "Connectlcut is the birthplace of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad. 1t has grown to be a great system, but it's home is still here. And New Haven is still pretty near the cen. ter of its business, when you count in its long trackage in New York, running up to Lake Ontario. 1t has become the heart of New England. All New Eng land business pulses through It. The arteries bring us OUT new materials to work up and our food to eat. The veins distribute the finished products to the remotest corners of the country and the world.
 "It looks to me as if influences hostile the trade of New England were nov. ing in underground currents to paralyZe 1r dismember New England's railroad yStem. and as if many New England. 1T has been carried away by these cur. rents. without knowing whence they come, and without realiziug what they mean. They mean, it seems to me, loss to New England. whether they do or dc not make for gain to New York and | other sthtes.
 l "I believe the prosperity of New Eng land makes for the prosperity of ttlt whole country but believe also there are those who do not think so, anC would lessen, if they could, our prosper lty Ill the hope of increasing their own.
