A survey of the markets this morning resulted in the informal ton that an unprecedented sale of turkeys, far exceeding the expec- tations of the most optimistic market proprierors, featured the Wednesday shopping campaign on the part of MT and Mrs Water bury which made Thanksgiving day a bountiful one. Albeit trifle windy, the day dawned bright and clear and the church services in the morning were well attended. The afternoon, and evening ser- vices also drew large congrega- tions.
 The Thanksgiving day football classic at Hamilton park, at which Wiiby and Crosby high schools battled to a tie, brought out the largest individual crowd of the day with about 7,500 people in att tendance. The theaters had splen- did crowds during the afternoon and evening.
 Scores of out of town cars parked in various streets bore testimony that Waterbury turkey was being served to many out of town friends and relatives. Families banded together for the festive dinner.
 Business was suspended in all forms. The banks, city hall, courts, Bronson library, stores, post office and all divisions of business and industrial activity was hushed for one day.

 VISIT TO AMERICA
Historical Facts Introduce ed of Special Interest
 to Waterbury
LEST WE FORGET

The articles apeparing in the
 apers the past couple of weeks About monuments erected at dia-
 erent points to mark stopping
 laces of Rochambeau and his Nrmy at Newport and York town in 1781, has called attention to historical facts of special inter est to peopla of the towns where the soldiers took short rest oh the long march to and from the place where the final battle in the struggle for independence of the American colonies took place.
 The following communication on the matter is timely and throws a good hint to Waterbury and Mid- dlebury:
 Editor of the Waterbury
 Democrat:
 Last weeks Catholic Transcript had very interesting article, about the recent restoration and rededication of the Rochambeau monument in. Southington. through the. interest and laudable efforts of Monsignor Neale of Meriden.
 We, too, have an historic site, land a monument), at Breakneck Hill In Middlebury, for Rocham- beau and his army camped there twice in sixteen months, going to, and returning from Yorktown.
 Let Dr Bronson's Waterbury History, tell the story: "1n the lat ter part of June 1781 the. French Army under Rochambeau, in their march from Newport westward and to join Washington in his op- erations against Cornwallis in Vir- ginia passed through Waterbury. They are said to have p:arched Ill four divisions. and to have en- camped for night, just over the mountain in Southington, at a place since called French Hili. After the surrender of Cornwallis in October, 1782, they returned by the same route, in two divisions (probably) in order to embark for the West Indies. An old inhabi- tant says they marched two by two, and when the head of the col umn had disappeared beyond the hill at Captain George Nichols the other extremity had nor come in sight or West Side Hill. The Mld- dlebury people say that. at both times they encamped on Breakncck Hill"
 And commenting on this last march, we tind Dr Anderson. the later historian: What a picture of Waterbury in 1781 that bit of description affords us! One could stand on the East Main street hill. above it's intersection with Mill street and have an unobstructed view of West Side Hill"
 Commemorating this bit or history the late Dennis H. Tierney representing the American Irish Historical Society, erected on Breakneck Hill, monument bear- ing this inscriptions:
 Camp of the French Army En Route to Yorktown. June 27, 17Sl -19O4.
 This was dedicated with fitting ceremony, and distinguished gathering, on June 27, 1904.
 One record of the occasion. says: "Rochambeau had with him reg iment whose men wore green fac ings on their white coats, ana names were Gaelic instead of Gal lie. They bore, too, green flag with a golden harp thereon and that is why the American Irish Historical Society raised this monument"
 Lest we forget. in this Yorktown anniversary year, would it not De fine and fitting. if some action were taken by somebody, or so- ciety, to rehabilitate our own mon ument to Rochambeau and ms army?
