State Capitol. Hartford. May s LP - Governor Trumbull stood in the halls of the state capitol today, in him embodied the people of tn. state of Connecticut, and listened. rather than watched, the 1929 gen. eral assembly begin it's process of receding into the past.
 Beside him stood Mrs. Trumbull and their daughter Florence. The house. by way of celebrating the final adjournment, was in the throes of an hilarious abandonment of re- straint and dignity. Crepe paper balls were being thrown with dex- terity and alighting on heads, ears and eyes in abrupt fashion. bells jingled. an orchestra tried to send strains of music above the clamor. and voices were wing with each other to reduce the body to bedlam.
 In the senate. there was more re- straint. but some of the crepe paper balls had found their way from the house, and these flew back and forth while the senators sat and stood, talking calmly.
 Two pieces of legislation, the re- maininE fragments of the sessions work, were treated carelessly in the

Demands made the preceding year that the spelling bee be held in a public auditorium were seen to be justified early in the eve ming when crowds gathered at the Central Junior High school long be- fore the doors were opened.
 In order that parents and teachers of the spoilers might be assured O. seats the Herald had printed and distributed~5 reserved seat tickets. There was practically no cessation in the demand for tickets. Az late as 6:30 o'clock last evening people were still trying to get them. despite the fact that it was known there were hundreds of seats in the balcony.
