 Gentlemen:-
 At meeting of the wilIimsntic Cham Der of Commerce it was voted to protest against the taking off of train No. 112 l between Hartford and 7yiliamantic, as i that train brings nearly one-third of cur express matter, between 500 and roe newspapers and all eur morning mall It | would be a great inconvenience to the ! citizens of Wiliimantic and vicinity to have that train discontinued. We can see 1 no good reason, why it should be taken of, as there is only short run between Ver- non and Wfllimantic We ask you to continue this train if possible. I enclose you copy of letter sent to A. R. Smith, general passenger agent of the New York, pany. I assure you that Willimantie will l appreciate the continuance of that train. l The Girl Scout, a two-reel motion pie l tnfe, Is to be shown at the Y. M. c. A.
