Declining the use of automobile or carriage at the depot he set out on foot for the site of the Connecticut College for Women, of which he is a trustee. Some of those who arrived with the governor attempted to fol- low him on foot but they soon ar rived at the conclusion that he was too strong on pedestrianism for them and they abandoned the chase Later Governor Baldwin arrived at the pa vilion at the beach in Senator E. A Johnson's automobile.
