BOAT IN THE WATER
 AFTER A DOZEN YEARS
Launching of Vessel Built By the
 Late H. C. Wright.

A boat that has been many years in the building was launched on Sunday afternoon from the Edward Chappell company's wharf into the west branch of the Thames. The craft under the guidance of Cesare Del Carlo slid into the water with a smboothness that might possibly have been augmented by the expectancy with which it has long been awaiting the great event
 It is a AT foot half cabin boat, with a beam of Is feet, designed for sail with auviliary motor. It was built by the late H. c. Wright and 1t is to settle the estate that his widow has at length, through her attorney, R. M. Douglass, caused the boat to be placed in the water. dozen years ago. 1t must have been that MT Wright be- gan to work on the frame of the ves- sel, which was to be staunch and sea- worthy and looks today as if properly equipped it would stand a transarlan- tic voyage. Assisted by George Bishop Church, who also now Is dead MT. Wright spent much of his spare time for years on the craft that he never saw sailed. On Falls avenue. opposite the industrial building. was the site of the boat building operations. and as the boat progressed, over 1t was erect ed~ a shed as a source of protection from the elements. The death of Bis hop Church called a halt to the work some time ago. for although he was not interested in the boat, as far as actual ownership was concerned, MT. Wright depended on his cooperation to considerable extent. MT. Wright died last spring in Stamford, and the boat representing his labor of years, proved to be the chief material holding of this worlds goods that he left be- hind him. Consequently a number of attachments were placed upon it, and after advertising locally and with boat
 builders without result, his widow
 determined to place 1t in the water rather than let 1t remain any longer
 high and dry on land and subject to
 dry rot in its boat shed. AS a matter
 of fact the craft looks as staunch and new as if it had been built last win ter.
 MT. Del Carlo started the work oi moving the big boat on Saturday morning and the work went along smoothly though slowly until she hi the water late Sunday afternoon. Or rollers it was pulled out over Falls tracks on West Main street into the
 coal yards was nicely timed and so ex- peditiously carried out that the trolley schedule was not interferred with. The | boat had about twenty barrels o' cement in her bottom for ballast. MT Del Carlo said, and all in all it weighed | launching of the young ship made ar | interesting sight for hundreds of look CTS on during the day. The repor | that the boat had been sold to a New | Haven man was not confirmed.
