PROPOSES SERIES 0F FIVE CONCERTS
A. (. kimball to Bring Famous
 Speakers to This City

Sigmund Spaeth, nationally known
 humorist lecturer and writer of popular musical books, will be in
 the city next week to address service and community clubs and other or ganizations relative to the desirabil- ity of their membership and citizens
 generally being interested as individ- uals in the formation of high grade concert course here next fall and winter. Dana $. Merriman. widely known musical director of Hartford, likewise will be in the city at that time, alternating with Mir. Spaeth in expounding a<plan whereby three concerts of the highest type could
 be given, one of which would be in conjunction with the New Britain Choral society.
 4 meeting at the Burritt, called yesterday afternoon by Arthur G.. kimball resulted in action following
 the presentation of the plan by Mir.
 Merriman, who represented the Community Concerts Corporation of
 New York, as the merger of ten of
 the leading concert management concerns recently is known. At the meeting were many of those who were identified with the civic concert movement of last spring, but they had before them a greatly altered plan.

 present that he and committee had

Boy of Eleven Years Is Winner
 of Marble Tourney at Northend
John Seravalli Disposes of Last Years Title Holder At School to Acquire Honor For Himself.

The 1928 champion marble shoot CT of the Northend school is John Seravalli, II years old, of 71 Mill street. He won the title yesterday in the Herald-Ju Achievement tournament games played in the school yard at the close of the afternoon session. To win he had to dispose of Louis Wendler, II years old also, of 221 Glen street and the 1927 champion of the school. Luck was with the contender, however, for the former champion had hard luck and his agate was knocked out of the ring by his opponent before he had scored a mig 10 forfeit, and like Jack Delaney he was out before the crowd realized the game was over.
 Wendler had played well during the early games, winning the first group and handily defeating Her man Mast the winner of the second group, but at the same time Seravalli had won his first group with William Swansk his closest contender and then he had a narrow squeak in his battle with Edward Loughery, the winner of the second group, who lost to Seravalli by the nearest possible margin, 7-6. The gallery was all set for hard fight for the school title. but it was all over and Wendler was on his way home before the boys on the ring side seemed to understand that the day was done."
 The Lincoln school title is being decided this afternoon.

Two Are Drowned When
 Auto Plunges off Ferry

Perth Amboy, N. J., May S.-IPl- A man and 8 woman were drowned, trapped in the back seat Of a sedan. when the owner of the car started the motor and the car ran off ferryboat into 75 feet Of water in Raritan Bay last night. The dead are Miss Rita Beta, and Otto Ludke, both of Eliza beth.
 Herman Frech, also of Elizabeth. driver of the car. was fished from the bay by members of the crew of the fesryboat Charles Galloway, and taken to the Richmond Memorial hospital on Staten Island.
 The ferryboat was about half way between Perth Amboy and Tot tenville, $. l., when Frech started the motor of his car. It had been left in gear and when the motor started the sedan tore through a steel chain and two iron gates and plunged into the bay

gone into the proposition with MT. Merriman and found it satisfactory and economical. and tending to as- sure the bringing of the finest artists to New Britain. He said this city of 10000 was entitled to such con- certs. and that there is a large mu- sic loving population here which could be depended upon to be inter- ested If the proper steps were taken to awaken their interest and sup port.
 The plan is to have three con- certs on a subscription basis. in- cluding the Choral society concert. and the latter organization would be entitled to one-third of the total membership funds obtained. This would not foot the cost of the choral society concert by a considerable margin, but MT. kimball said the choral directors were willing to de- pend upon the merit of their pro- duction to gain the additional public support necessary.
 The important point as to the type pI 1i tiots q oiidpit NdS sttNitu to tllt satisfaction of everyone. The choice lies between some 200 artists in- cluding virtually all the headliners. l. was felt certain that with even moderate success New Britain could have three concerts next year that would compare in every respect with the finest in Hartford.
 Any club or organization will be entitled to hearing either MT. Spaeth or MT. Merriman when they are in the city next week. The meet ing was called by MT. Kimball through Secretary Benson of the Chamber of Commerce, who will be kept in touch with the situation.
 Mir. Spaeth will be the speaker at Ladies night at the Exchange club on Tuesday May 15. it was announc- ed by MT. Merriman. He also an- nounced that there would be a gen. eral meeting addressed by MT. Spaeth at the Central Junior high school Friday night May IS, when he will give his famed lecture.
