rendered was considered by many the
best of any of the previous efforts of
singers who have so faithfully and
kindly assisted each time. Any city

said that this cane equaled any he had
ever heard anywhere
1t would be impossible to make spec
ial mention of any one or several of

Captain Cut Loose From
lows, Then Goes Back to
Smash Barrier.

The warm weather Of the last two
days has melted most of the ice in
the harbor and Sound and tugs are
again moving without difficulty. The
tug George Mccartney, which left
this morning with a tow of two light
barges, reported most arduous trip
to this city from Providence. Off
Faulkner's Island, the ice so damned
about the barges that the tug had to
cut loose from them, go back and
break the ice cakes all about them
before the trip could be resumed.
In his 30 years experience as a
barge captain about the Sound, Capt.
Daniel Coffey, in command of the
Mccartney said that he had never
befo>e had such an experience. The
tug Charles McWilliams also with
two light boats. had hard fight with
the ice on the way from Providence
here. The boats Of both lows were
greatly damaged by the ice, which
according to the men who made the
trip, was the worst In years.
