team. In the early evening every thing was moving along quietly when suddenly a young man threw one of those large sea- biscuits across the room and it landed in a plate of soup that another man was eating. The soup found every available place but the mans mouth and a free-for- all fight ensued. After the place had been turned upside down. the man who threw the cracker said he did not mean any harm. but he wanted to start something.
 Now, gentlemen, trust that one re- suit of our meetings here will be to start something-not only for the but for the success of movements in the future that will tend to make the place we call home a better place in which to live and do business. We have been provided by nature with an ideal location for development. We should be, and will be. deeper and navigable only 13 miles away there is a harbor that Is broad and spacious. Our people are as intelligent and in munity. And yet our city has not grown.
 And now, gentlemen, cannot allow these monday meetings to close with out an expression of thanks that be- long to you for the co-operatiod you
 
 chairman. I thank you. and I want every captain and every member of every team to feel that each one, through me as chairman, is thanking all the others for their cooperation with him.
 Work to Be Done Yet. Our work is not yet completed much remains to be done. From now on we must encourage this work and we should also resolve to lend our aid to any enterprise that has for its pur- pose the betterment of Norwich.
 There has been from the beginning no lack of enthusiasm on the part of the committee.
 It is true that nothing succeeds like l success. and 1t is also true that noth- ing is so cheering as cheers. I hope everyone will remain until the close of I the meeting and join with us in the cheer that means victory.
