present (at least in the seven dollar part of the house) being acquainted, there was laughing and chatting, and visiting going around.
 Senators and members, with their wives and children were there, judges and divines, com- manders and captains, and citi- zens generally. As soon as Gen. Scott, accompanied by his lovely daughters, entered, the whole audience rose and cheered him until he was seated. When MT. Webster and his elegant lady ap- peared, there was similar greet ing extended to him; and when the honored President arrived with his lady and graceful daugh- ter, the cheers outside proclaimed the event and the entire company within arose to welcome him with loud and continued "hurrahs' sur- passing those yet heard. Still one other great man was missing and the overture began ere he, the idol of the nation,' came. Although everyone was listening delighted Benedict's Orchestra, as soon as that tall, revered figure entered it was known by instinct and every person arose and every tongue sent forth 8 greeting to Harry Clay!-Men waved higt their hats, and ladies their hand kerchiefs, and many sprang upon their seats to catch 8 glimpse of him, as alone he walked up to the arm chair allotted to him in front of the fair cantatrice. It seemed as if the one loud varied welcome could not cease-Spon- taneOus and enthusiastic were these cheers from the hearts of all parties, all ages and all classes. Truly HENRY CLAY was born to be loved!
 These incidents gave zest to the evening, and were novelties in JENNY LIMOS experiences in concert-giving.

Does your memory go back as far as the great California gold excitement of '49?" asked.
 Q yes," answered MT. Porter. Connecticut caught the gold fever with the rest of New Eng land and we children saw the historic covered wagons starting off on their long and hazardous trail to the Golden Vest Many gold-seekers went that way and others by boat from New York and the Isthmus of Panama route.
 One enterprising farmers boy from Harwinton, only 30 miles from here, went to California and stole the whole show'-as they say nowadays. He was the prime-mover in the building of the first transcontinental railroad; built in Harwinton that stone church-a memorial to his mother; gave $50,000 for endowment of Tuskegee, Alabama; left an estate of $35 100000. Of course that boy was Collis P. Huntington.
 But the gold-fever adventur- CTS were not all successful as in the case of Seylmour Welton of Bucks Hill, Waterbury. He dared. and saw California-but came home, busted His old farm on Bucks Hill is now owned by MT. Pope.
 On a venture asked, Gan you remember when JENNY LIND was in America?"
 70 yes," he answered, smiling at the pleasant recollection of it. T was only 6 years old, but I remember very well how she won the hearts of all Americans by her wonderful voice and her kind and generous disposition; taking every opportunity she could to sing free for those who couldn't afford to go to the concerts. That was in 1850. and the newspapers were full of praise of her and in- teresting anecdotes about her which we children heard read and discussed"
 Have you any recollection of the famous 'BLONDIN.' who cross ed Niagra Falls on a tight roper"
 "Yes, indeed. That was in 1859

First crossing, in 5 minutes; sec- ond crossing, on the Fourth of July, blindfolded and trundling a wheelbarrow; third crossing, carried man on his back; last crossing, on stilts."
 T am not positive, but I think 'Blondin' was in Waterbury couple of years before that. There was a very daring tight-rope

 To the question, Are there any buildings in Waterbury now that you remember seeing when boy?" MT. Porter replied, "The only one that can think of is the quaint little white house at the corner of Cooke and Grove streets. Of course the surroundings are all changed, but the house itself looks just about as 1t did when I was 8 boy and MT. Cooke lived there.

In answer to the question, How did Waterbury Green look as you first remember it., MT. Por- ter said, there was rail fence around it and a kind of pond at the east end where we children used to slide and skate in the winter. The elm trees that are the glory of the park today were brought and transplanted from my fathers farm on Bucks Hill, where I remember we had grove of young elms. So regard them now, in all their majesty, with a good deal Of sentiment. We are

We were not diffedent, and did not hesitate to offer our valuable services even to P. T. Barnum when he came to town. After the war, when I was in the railroad business, I hawled his big show over from Bridgeport on several occasions. Waterbury was always a good show town"

ROOSEVELT WILL TALK RECOVERY
Radio Talk Tonight Will Precede Important Western Tour

Washington, June 24.-UP)- President Roosevelt returned to the capital today to make fire side report to the nation tonight on pump-priming recovery prospects before swinging westward on va cation journey of political signifi- canoe.
 He was reported to be in a con- fident, optimistic mood as the stock market turned strong and active, and federal agencies open the flood gates for billions of dollars for lending and spending.
 A week-long upsurge of stock market values has followed ad- journment of congress and the first Splurge of Public Works Admins tration loans and grants. PWA plans to have $2,000,00O, 900 of prospects, under construction by next June. In two busy days of spending, PWA officials have approved $279,Cc0,00 worth of projects, of which the treasury contributed SPA 100000 in grants and $14,000,000 in loans for 1,l46 separate undertakings.
 MT. Roosevelt will talk tonight at 9:30 p. m., EST, to a coast-to- coast audience in what is expected to be report on the state of the nation after ten months of danger ous accelerated business depression.
 After a long week end at his mothers Hyde Park estate, he will remain here for only few days. On July he will begin a trans continental journey touching Ken lucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Colorado, California and other states where New Deal colors are flying in hot primary contests. From some Cali fornia port the President will en- bark aboard a cruiser to fish in Pacific waters before returning to the east coast by way off the Pan- anna canal.
 The recovery process, moving for ward a year ago, was checked in August, 1887, and the trend of business reversed, scrapping New Deal economy plans and compelling new resort to pump-priming appro- priations. As MT. Roosevelt pre- pares to address the nation statis- ticians estimate that the 1937-38 de- pression has. thrown 3,300,0O0 out of work, that well more than Ill., 100000 persons now are unemployed and that the load probably will in- crease before 1t lightens.
 With seven days of this fiscal year to go, the next treasury deficit promises to exceed January esti- mates by $25O,0O0,00O and receipts probably will be $130,000,00O or so under the estimate of six months ago. But the deficit trend is down. ward this year compared to last, federal income is greater and federal spending less. The prospect for the next fiscal year, beginning July is for another upward movement of deficit figures. The close-to-com- plete treasury staetment for this ficcal year shows:
