a national quota Of S37, 500.
The Connecticut women have gone over

S47,674.32. The Nutmeg state is the
first state in the Northern Baptist con-
vention to report victory in the three
months campaign from January rs to
April 80.
Such a result has been accomplished
through the capable and persistent work
of Mrs ]. D. Rough of Norwich, cam

REF PAIRING FOR IMPROVEMENTS With
new BUILDING ON ROSE PLACE

bx-mayor T. c. Murphy and William
T. McGarry, who purchased about two
weeks ago what. has long been known
as the Vaughn foundry property ex-
tending between Rose place and Ferry
street, have taken the first steps towards
the improvements they promised to make
IN this property and are having the old
buildings at the Rose place end torn
down in preparation for erecting there
modern brick and steel building with
-FOUR stores in it. The new building
planned will be three stories high 7Ox70
with an all-glass 'front.' and will occupy
all of the Rose plaos 44o1l,e.o tAvept
feet at the southerly end which is
now covered by a two story brick build
Ing that was part of the foundry prop
erty. This was built in modern times
and will remain at is it in good condi-
ton. The entire Vaughn foundry plot
purchased by Mr. Murphy and Mr.. Nc
Garry, comprises $500 square feet It
has a frontage of IS feet on Rose place
III feet on Ferry street, a depth on its
north line along the alleyway Of $50
feet md a length along the southerly
line nthe New Haven railroad proper
ty of ITO feet.
The tearing down of these buildings
has compelled the removal of the Pow
ers Bros, fish market, which has occu-
pied this property for approximately 81
years. They have now gone to a loca-
tionain Franklin street Before they To-
Gated in Rose place there had been g
fish market there run by Robert Arm
strong.
The Old brick buildings have beer
standing for at least 70 years and prob
ably a good deal longer as they were
there when Alfred H. Vaughn, the found
er of the foundry business, started that
business in 1854 in the brick building
previously referred to, which he built il
that year He was associated with {
man named Rose and man named

GREAT THINGS EXPECTED OF
NORWICH AT LOUISVILLE

New York, May 5-Morvich. last
years two-year old, starts tomorroz
in his specially designed private cas
for a regal trip to Louisville to be
made fit for the Kentucky derby.
If the weather IS satisfactory to-
morrow morning the wonder horse viii
be given final trial workout over
the derby distance at his Jamacsi
training station. Benjamin Block, own
er, will be at the track shortly after
dawn to watch the trial He and hit
family will go to Louisville Sunday.
If Norwich wins the derby. and
shows exceptional mettle in other dis
lance events, such as the Latonis
$4,000 race for three year olds,- the
Dyer stakes at Aqueduct and the two
fall events, the Jockey club staksI
and the Jockey club gold cup Eace
with the Saratoga cup probably sand.
wiched in, Trainer Fred Burley viii
recommend to Mr.. Block that MOT
vich be retired to the stud.
IF Norwich proves in the Kentucky
derby that he is not a gutter. ant
that he can carry over a distance o.
ground the speed which made. hin
| the unquestioned champion of last yeaI
it will be my wish that he be allowed
to retire to the stud as a champion
without being subjected to racing un.
der crushing weights that the handi.
cappers inevitably will impose upoI
so great a horse" Burlew was quotei
at saying today. -.
Mr.. Block said today that he haf
not made any definite plans for ~tha
hore's future. and Burlew was rep
resented as giving only his own views
Burlew will accompany Norwich, q
Louisville tomorrow.
If Norwich were retired to the STUD
Mr.. Block would be following in the
footsteps of Glen Riddle, owner Of
Man o War, who retired this. priaas
of the turf to the stud after three
years of record breaking. racing. His
retirement caused a sensation al tbs
time, some turf enthusiasts. urging
that Man o. War be permitted to con.
tinue his racing career.
Financial, however, the great horse
is valuable to Mr.. Riddle as a breed
er as he would have been had he con-
tinued to race. If Norwich stands oui
this year, this would apply similarly

latter Machinist Rose that Rose place
was named
Considerable historic interest attaches
70 Rose place that makes a link with
about 100 years ago when there was a
sandy beach here extending down to the
river where horses and cattle were ac-
customed to drink. Before he city had
been incorporated, the town of Norwich
voted, Jan. 4. 1881, to reserve Rose place
for d public watering place and auth
oriZed the selectmen to discontinue a
certain part of the sandy beach The
Strand building. which is on the wes-
|, terry side OF Rose place, took it's name
from the beach.
From 1914 to 1888 the ownership of
what is now the Chapman building on
Franklin square. the Fay property and
a large part of the Vaughn property
was in John Lathrop. In the latter
named year he made conveyance to
Amos H. Hubbard, Edward Whiting
William c. Gilman and Thomas Robin
son. This conveyance included about 40
feet of Franklin square which subse-
quently was conveyed to the city for the
widening of Main street and the square
At the time of this conveyance the cas-
| terly boundry OF the property was q
| highway leading to the lumber house oil
| John P. Huntington This highway is
row Ferry street, The southerly bound
ry was highway running diagonally
across the Vaughn property, which ha.
since been discontinued.
1t will be a source of much satisfac
ton to the citizens that the improve
ments in Rose place are to be made a.
It's coalitions had at times been mucl
criticised for the accumulation of bar
rels, foundry TASKS and other insight
ly objects in such a public spot in tn
center of the city Messrs. Murphy ant
McGarry are following with their ney
property the same policy that they hav
pursued with other purchases in the las
few years in the Main street section
