IRISH RELIEF CAMPAIGN
 MEETING GENEROUS RESPONSE

The Norwich workers for the desti- tute people of Ireland started on the first day of their campaign early Thursday morning and before the day was over the reports that were brought in to headquarters were most encour- aging that the quota of s5.ooo for Nor wich would be reached. All the work CTS reported that they were received cordially and generously The recep- ton given on the first day of the cam paign encourages them to greater ef- forts. and causes them to realize that the people of this community are cem- pletely in sympathy with the move ment for which they are working. Like reports have been received at head quarters from every section of the state, where this work under the aus pices of the American Committee For Relief in Ireland is being carried on.
 No financial report will be issued by the Norwich committee until Monday, March 21. and at that time the com- mittee will report the result of the first three days of the campaign. The several canvassers are reporting to their district leader daily and from every section of the town good news is coming in. Some of the csnva ssers are interested in other work going on at this time, and will not be able to complete the work of their section be- fore the middle of the coming week. In New York city, Monday evening March 21, a boxing carnival has been arranged. the proceeds of which will go to this same cause. The use of the garden has been donated to the Amer ican relief committee for Ireland. by | Tex Rickard This is not the first time that Mir. Rickard has given the use of the Madison Square Garden for a worthy cause. He turned over the big show house to Miss Anne Morgan when that lady promoted a boxing show and got something like sS0. .o0t fo devastated France. Entertain ments of every kind are being arranged throughout this whole country and there is no doubt that the amount oi ten million two hundred and fort, thousand dollars ls1o,240.Ooo) that i
 was proposed to raise will be greatly
 increased.
 It is hoped by the local committe, {, that the canvass in Norwich may b,
 completed by the middle of next week

FoREsTERs GIVE UP HALL
 THEY CONTROLLED s1 YEARS

For the past twenty -one years the hall on the third floor of the Chapman build- ing on Franklin square has been known as Foresters hall, but it will now have to take on another name as the Foresters have given up control of it and will hold their last meeting in it this (Friday) eve ming. Beginning next month the Forest CTS are to meet in Steiner's hall
 In the spring of 1900, the Foresters took a lease on the hall and ghave con- tinued it ever since until now. As there have been three courts of Foresters, each meeting twice a month. these occupied six nights in the month and the Lall has been sublet on other nights to other fra ternal societies. Since the three courts have been merged into one, the Foresters have decided to give up the control of the hall
 Before the Foresters took the hall 1t was known for ten or more years as Grand Army hall and was occupied by Sedgwick Post No 1, c. A F.. which has been meeting since 1898 in the Buck. ingham Memorial which the post owns.
