Additions and corrections have been made in this list of burials to make it more correct, so that more appears than is to be found in the original record. Mr. George E. Hoadley has been very helpful in this matter.
DIOCESAN CANON II. - Of Parochial Registers and Reports.
SEC. I. In order to give effect to Title I., Canon XVIII., Section I, of the Digest, it is hereby required that every Minister of this Church shall keep a regis- ter of all the baptisms, marriages, and funerals solemnized by him, specifying the names of the parties married, of those baptized, and of their sponsors, and of the persons buried, and the time when each rite was performed. He shall also enter therein the names of the persons confirmed, of the communicants, and of the fam- ilies belonging to his Parish, which register shall be deposited with the Clerk, in case of his removal from the Parish.

CHRIST CHURCH, PARISH HOUSE, HARTFORD, CONN., Dec. 9, 1895.
Dear Dr. Russell :
The enclosed tables of footings and averages should be accompanied by the following
Notes.
I. The footings are approximately, not absolutely, correct. The early records were imperfectly kept and hence in them as in later chron- icles one finds errors of both omission and commission.
2. The average of attendance in 1894-95 is probably more accurate than others, for during that year the number present at the two principal services were counted by three persons, and their returns compared be- fore the entry was made. If the same care had been taken in previous years it is probable that the decrease, if any, would not be so marked.
3. The gradual removal of families from the business quarter to the residence portion of the city, increases distance from the Church, and furnishes a ready excuse for non-attendance.
4. A comparison of the average number of communions, with the number of communicants enrolled, seems to demand some explanation.
(a.) Many whose names appear in the List of Communicants are persons who have received Lutheran confirmation, and had been ad- mitted to the privileges of full membership in Christ Church in years previous to my coming. A large proportion of these do not commune at all in our church, and some not oftener than twice yearly, at Xmas and Easter.
(b.) Some who attend other churches regularly have neglected to ask for the canonical letter of transfer, preferring to retain membership in this Parish. Hence their names still appear on our list, although they neither attend the services nor contribute to the support of the Church.
It seems proper that the facts above stated should be borne in mind when one desires information regarding both the past history and pres- ent condition of the Parish.
Faithfully, L. W. SALTONSTALL.

Draper Memorial Tablet.
A handsome memorial tablet to the memory of the Misses Draper, who conducted the famous Draper Seminary for Young Ladies on Trumbull street for about thirty years, was unveiled in Christ Church on the morning of November first. Appropriate services were held.
The service was that appointed for All Saints' Day. The inorning prayer was said by the Rev. J. P. Fattcon, assistant minister of the parish, and the Rev. Francis Goodwin ; the Holy Communion was celebrated by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart of Trinity College, the Rev. Dr. George H. Clark, formerly rector of Christ Church, reading the Gospel. After the Gospel Dr. Hart made an address, first reading the following letter from Bishop Williams to Mrs. Gurdon W. Russell :-
MIDDLETOWN, October 31, 1895.
MY DEAR MRS. RUSSELL : -
I very greatly regret my inability to be present with you to-morrow at the memorial service in Christ Church. My memories of the Draper family in Greenfield and of the school in Hartford go back more than sixty years. When I came to Hartford in 1833 I found the school in full success, and doing an admirable work, such work as it continued to do as long as its founders lived. It occupied a prominent position among the girls' schools of the period, a position which I think it never lost.
I rejoice to know that a memorial to the Misses Draper is to be placed in Christ Church, where they so long worshiped, as members of a parish in whose welfare they always took a deep and generous interest.
I am, very truly yours,
J. WILLIAMS.
The Memorial Tablet.
The tablet is placed on the south wall of Christ Church, between the two center windows. It is of brass and is mounted on an Alp green marble slab. The tablet was made by the Gor- ham Manufacturing Company and cost about $400. Other ex- penses brought the total to nearly $500. The fund was contri- buted by about 100 pupils and former teachers of the school.

CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD.
The tablet bears the following inscription.
To the Glory of God And in Grateful Memory of four sisters, Eliza Charlotte Julia and Catherine Draper, This memorial was here placed on All Saints Day, 1895, by some who had been their pupils, 1831-1863.
" They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament."
Letter from Rev. Mr. Finch.
ST. JAMES' RECTORY, GREENFIELD, MASS., Nov. 8, 1895.
DR. GURDON W. RUSSELL -
Dear Sir : As illustrative of the fact that Christ Church, Hartford, Conn., was, at one time in its history, a missionary center to a large outlying region, the following notes are furnished from the records of St. James' Church, Greenfield, Mass .:
" On the same day (Sept. 24, 1812), previous to the above mentioned agreement " (agreement signed by those interested in forming an Epis- copal parish), "the Rev. Philander Chase, Rector of Christ Church, in Hartford, Connecticut," who had encouraged the people to take this step, " performed divine service and delivered a lecture at the Congre- gational meeting-house in this town, and the holy ordinance of Baptism was administered to twelve persons.
" On the evening of the 25th of September service was performed and a lecture delivered by Rev. Mr. Chase, at the house of John E. Hall. From this time until the November following we assembled reg- ularly every Sunday at our respective houses and performed Divine Service and read sermons."
Mr. Thos. Chapman and Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, having been ap- pointed by the parish to solicit funds for the erection of a church build- ing, the rector, wardens, and vestrymen of Christ Church, Hartford, gave them a letter bearing date March 17, 1813, commending their cause to the clergy and laity of New York city. This letter is signed as fol- lows :
PHILANDER CHASE, Rector.
JOHN MORGAN,
Wardens.

WM. H. IMLAY,
ELIAKIM HITCHCOCK,

ADDENDA.
This letter was endorsed March 24, 1813, by John Henry Hobart, Assistant Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, New York. Six hundred dollars were raised as the result of the trip to New York.
"On Sunday, May 9, 1813, Mr. Chase performed Divine Service at the Church room and administered the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
" In the afternoon Divine Service was performed at Mr. C. Munn's Hall, on account of the number of people being so great that they could not all be accommodated in the room at Mr. Hall's. The ordi- nance of Baptism was administered to six persons.
" On Monday the 10th day of May, A. D. 1813, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, A. M., the Corner Stone of St. James' Church was laid in the northwest corner of the foundation for the Church by the Revd Philander Chase, Rector of Christ Church, Hartford." (The service for this occasion, arranged by Mr. Chase, is entered in full in the records.)
Mr. Chase preached the sermon at the Consecration of the Church, Wednesday, Aug. 31, 1814."
