The city has made its lid, as have others along the coast, who, in a sense, also know not what they do. Several weeks ago a site com- that js, the New Kngiand anirb A plan to present Judy Holliday and the City Center cast of Elmer Rice's "Dream Girl" on Broadway for a limited Summer run is in the making but depends largely on whether or not Miss Holliday will accept the necessarily restricted terms. mnuee, uie wneeis OI i who wants no Inswir-h n.tf the uSAlT, came here to deter or Bailey Island. For New Ixmdon A Fill Willi a Tip on Top While the producers, authors and cast of the two-and-a-half year old musical ''Kiss Me, Kate" were celebrating the l.OOOth performance of the Cole Porter show yesterday, a three-year-old tilly named for the show added to the general gaiety by winning the Acorn Stakes at Belmont and paying $17.10 for f. This is considerably better than the show has paid its investors.

Everybody connected with the two-legged "Kate" bad a nice hunch bet going on four-logged it would be a good deal and the load would doubtless reap an eventual harvest. TO HE REALLY candid about it, the pi ol aide selection of New London as the next home port of the tourney is a stupid but necessary choice. There is no doubt that Watch Kill.

Miss Holliday is known to he available until tally in August when she must return, to Hollywood. Since eight or nine weeks would be the limit possible for a Broadway revival, several problems must be solved. First, The playwrights figure that it would cost about 20.000 to do the revival commercially and since this outlay would have to be earned back in a brief time the lackers should be protected.

The only way to protect them, apparently, would be for Miss Holliday to make various salary concessions. As one of the top personal at! i act ions of the moment (the City Cetner production was ol dout almost as soon as it was announced) Miss Huiliday has all sorts of ptoti table offers for the Summer. ds 'i tiie tuna inning j-i o-t il doio-.

A man said est mine whether New London was capable of berthing such an out-sized fleet as convenes each Fall; whether there is adequate housing along the waterfront to billet several hundred anglers. The report was favorable, and, although the decision of the committee has not yet been announced, it will take considerable string pulling to put it over. THE RUN TO Ro-ie's Lodge and Quonset, where the big tuna generally are found in season, more or less is from both and New London.

WHY WOULD Nev London or Watch Hill, or any port reasonably-near tiie tisfiing grounds want the headache of hosting to such a monstrous affair? Well, in the case of New London, the prestige would be invaluable.
