 ster church Tuesday last was surprising
 ly good. Ekonl1, the most distant and

 represented by seven. The subject for
 the day was Christian Fellowship, and
 during the morning session each church was called upon to state if the four pre-
 ceding fellowship meetings had proved of sufficient real value to warrant continu-
 ing the six church fellowship. The replies
 were unmistakably in favor of their con- tinuance. Rev. MT. Pratt had the morn
 ing topic Christian Fellowship Among
 Quality and Quantity. As MT. Pratt was
 on vacation, Mir. Davies presented the
 matter. following scripture and prayer by
 Rev. Mary Macomber. After the noon

 New London. June 25-The Yale-Har- ward boat races on the Thames is an old story to-New Lcndoners and but very iit- tle interest is taken locally in this big aauatic event In the old days there was a difference in conditions and every townie was on tN-toe awaiting the com ing of the big crCt-d the night before to see the races. In the big parade ana general demonstration that took place afer the races. and there was regret when the collegians and their followers departed and the city returned to the normal These after race celebrations were on such a big scale that they ex- tracted the teeth from the ordinary Fourth of July celebrations and they were finally abandoned.
 Then. there was limited train accom- n1odations and the people came to town carly and left late. Not so now. Special trains bring the big crowds in the morn ing and are in waiting to take them back as soon as the races are rowed. In con- sequence there are no more race day eel cbrations in New London
 Years before Yale and Harvard agreed to row on the Thames there were persistent effort on the part of some cit tzns to convince the collegians that the Thames afforded the best course in the country for that particular race. and mOng these was Charles E. Jennings for many years superintendent of the public schools. and James H. Hill Who Is James II Hill? He has the distinction of being the oldest Chinaman in New London. and perhaps in the United states, in point of residence. if not in years. But he is a Chinaman by birth only. and knows nothing of his native land from experience. He was brought 10 New London by a sea captain, when a baby. more than seventy years ago, and was educate and always lived in this city, and is now respected and honor ahle citizen. H. has always been inter ested in the Yale-Harvard boat races from the start to the present time.
 Years ago there was a press boat in connection with the races where accred- tied correspondents of newspapers were given accommodations and opportunities 70 write the races from close observation. as the press boat followed the crews during the race. At the time the dis tribution of press tickets was delegated to gentleman by the name of Baggs, from New York. Mr Bags made the Evening Telegram office his headquarters. Air. Hill was anxious to see the race from the press boat on one occasion, but hc could not produce the required cre- dcntials.
 One of the Telegram's staff suggested to Hill that he step across the street to ue laundry of Sam Wing Sing and get

Measures aggregating the amount of S13,000 will be acted upon. made up of sums for schools, interest, streets, and for maintenance of the Mitchell contagious hospital Action will also be taken in approval of the council action in the adjustment of the housing corporation muddle, and concerning the sale of the property in Jefferson avenue now occupied, or until. recently occupied by the Memorial Hospital association.
 Another proposition to be considered is the offer of Ray c. Smith to erect a $25,-

 on condition that he be given the occu-
 pancy of the upper part for store for a
 term of twenty years, with privilege of
 renewal after that time at rental of S5,- 900 year. This proposition is surely novel in it's nature and ought to be thoroughly explained before action is talk. en in city meeting.
 The night before the college race was just about the same in New London as any other old night in the good old sum mer time, barring probably that State street in the vicinity of the hotels was 8 trifle more lively by thes presence of col legians, past and present That hilaritJ that prevailed in the earlier days of the races was missing, and whatever bet 1 ting there happened to be was done 1T private, and not in front of. or in the hotel lobbies In fact there was no sem l blance of gambling to be seen. Not st in the old days when these races were {
 novelty and created much local interest 1 Then every vacant store was leased fo 1 gambling and games of chance, simpl. ! that and nothing more. Money wheels
 wheels of fortune, punching boards, ant 1 the like were ruin in the open, just a | open as are these games played in tn I fairs held in the city. But the police pu i a stop to gambling of all sorts in con nection with the boat races and an ele ment of interest was thereby removed. 1 Now, none of these games are played not even the three -card-monte or the in 1 nocent little shell game, or shuttle board i This lessened the number of race follow CTS and took away all the night befor excitement and interest. Now toy bal i looms, flags, souvenirs and the like ar l offered for sale, and that is about a that prevails in the so-called fake line
 Even the grand stand ticket specula 1 tors have diminished in number, ana probably, tinv conditions are just as the should be. and the only attraction is tn race itself.
