The success scored in the recent Silver Tht1nble campaign the execu- tive committee feels is due to two | factors, i. e., the generosity of the public and the fact that there was not a bit of expense. This was owing l to the kindness of George c. Edwards of the International Silver Co.,, who | cleaned the silver for the sales; to Frank D. Bell, who gave the use of a counter in Meigs & Co. during the collection of the silver and for the sale; to G. W. Fairchi1d & Sons for weighing the silver; to H. H. DeLoss and G. c. Gerrish of the Handy & Harman Co.,, for melting the silver and gold; to Mr. Cantwe11 for the use of one of the sun parlors at The Stratfleld for the sale; to Dr. Fonea for melting a certain portion of the gold and silver, and to the news | papers for their notices relative tc the Silver Thimb1e fund.
 The members of the comittee feel grateful to those mentioned above for the aid so generously given. The total sum realized amounts to $2,375 This will equip completely a. ward o1 50 beds at the Bridgeport hospita for wounded soldiers. It was a splen- | did object that this committee set out to achieve and the result shows that it could not have been in more capa. | ble or efficient hands.
