The Fourth.
The great anniversary clnlcs but once a
year, but when it comes it must be proper
ly observed. As in duty bound~ all who can
will stop work and jubilatc‘ as best they may.
Here in Not-walk We are to have nopnbhe
observance of the day, and the deer people
will be free to go where they please or stay
at home and keep as quiet as they choose.
The people of St. Mary‘s Society, under
the auspices of the St. Joseph’s B. A., will
unite in a parade as usual in the morning,
and spend the aftcrnOOn in Mr. Morgan’s
Grove, in the customary pic-Die delights.
The Grand Excursion to Rockaway will
attract very many from Normlk and neigh-
boring tOwns. So many delights are seldom
combined in a days excursion, and at a rate
SOlOW. A sail of 150 miles on the water,
with cool sea breezes, charming scenery,
views of great cities. fortiticalims, rreat
holiday resorts, sea bathing, Ate, ca the
had eve da '. .
The xByurns‘idc Guards have voted to go
New Haven, although mast of the Regiment
will not accept. The Old Well Hook &
Ladder company are also preparing to take
part in the New Haven parade, and the G.
A. R. Post, of South Norwalk has been as-
signed a place in line.
Of those who do not leave town probably a
very large proportion will indulge in sailing
excursions or find their way overland to R0-
tou and Gregory's Points.
Congress.
Our Democratic circus still swears and
awelters at the Capitol to the utter disgust of
all patriotic citizens. Threats are made of
an adjournment without passing the Judicial
appropriations. and it is said if this is done
the President will reconvene them within
f orty~eight hours. ' -
P. S.—The Presidentvetocd the Marshal’s
bill yesterday, and the House refused to pass
it over his veto, 83 to 63. Adjournment not
probable before Wednesday.
fl
Town House Bill.
The improvement of the roadway and side
walks as far as carried on Town House Bill,
now seems to render very conspicuous a de-
formity that will occur in the south side-
walk where the line cuts in and on to the old
walk at the cast junction. It ought to be
still further curved and cut into the bank and
brought out at or near the Capt. Hubbell lane.
'l‘wo Steamers on the Fourth.
Capt. Perkins telegraphs us that two steam-
ers will leave New York for Norwalk on the
afternoon of the 3rd if required to relieve the '
crowd. This has been rendered necessary by
the large crowds cemlng into the country by
this route on that night. Last year the Adel-
phi was loaded to the water’sedgc, and many
came up by cars rather than risk the trip on
such a crowded boat. With the Adelphi and
Americus‘ the people will be comfortably
transported. One boat will return to the city
the same night.
Road Repairing. _
The City authorities have heeded the
Gazarrs's suggestions and commenced to
repair West Avenue’up to the Borough lino.
Now if our wise governOrs will follow suit
we may have a decent road oncemorc between
the Bridge and South Norwalk. [Its present
condition is not creditable to the “committee
on highways."
Bank Dinner. ,
The semi—annual Directors‘ dinner of the
venerable Fairfleld County Bank, was spread
by that Prince of cuter-era, Banks Morehouse,
on Tuesday last. As the President 'and
Cashier were both absent on account of ill—
ness, Capt. Hubbell took the head of the
table, flanked onhisright by Messrs. Wm.
B. E. Lockwood, Chas. F. Osborn, Elbert
Curtis Wm. B. Lockwood, Henry Guthrie,
and Geog, E. Miller. In order on the left
were Assistant Cashier Lester Cole, Judge
Asa B. Woodward, Eli B.,Bennett, Lewis
Curtis, Asst. Teller James Bailey, Teller Le-
Grand Betta, and our new tax co tor, Geo.
B. St. John. The second post of honor was
assigned the press, and so, like Pat’s horse
“Botherem,” though last in the race, was yet
driving everything before him, the Gazur'rs
had the foot Of the table.- The usual solem-
nity maintained on these occasions was fonly‘
brOken in upon by a heartless joke perpetraé
ted by Director W. R. Lockwood, and as a .
matter of course at: the expense of the press.
We were surprised aswcll as pained to ob—'
serve that the proverbial gravity of Judge
Woodward so far gave way that he indulged
in a sort of‘sardonic smile, while his eyes
twinklcd with a mischie'vcusness quite un-
becoming one wbosc oflcial duties confine
him to settling dead men’s estates. But of_
the “spree " too much cannotbe said. It
was both beautiful and sumptuous and was
partakcn of with such a silent enjoyment by
the fathers and friends of the ancient insti-
tutionrtbat the next festival will be looked
forward to with longing interest and desire
fl
Canes.
We omitted to state in connection with the
very pleasant caning administered to Mr.
James Cousins by his grateful employees,that
the richly wrought and valuable stick was
procured by our jewelry artist, Spencer, of
Main street. Norwalk is quite rich in cane
celebrity. The worthy proprietor of High-
wood has one cut from the grave of J elferson
at “Monticello,” while the writer, in addition
to the one I0 kindly loaned him on a memor-
able occasion, has a stick carved out of an
ash door post of the home of Harry Clay, at
“Ashland,” and another cane,cut from Culp‘s
Hill, Gettysburg, where the musket duel
raged till the forest trees between the Union
and rebel lines were literally “chawed o "
by the leaden missles of death, and still an»
other,cutfrom one of the cactus stalks of New
Mexico. Mr. Charles F. Raymond has a
very pretty and unique stick, cut and polish-
ed, from the stalk of the common sun-flower.
The President of our oldest bank had a gold
mounted ebony stick after the character of
our friend Cousins' cane, but some rapacious
thief stole the gold head from it,while stand-
ing in the hall hat-rack, and now the Colonel
wants the sneak thief to either come and
take the cane away out of his sight, or else
bring back its golden bcad gear.

On Sunday evening last, while, putting a
pistol in his pocket which he had been ex—
amining, George E. Finncy, son of Wm. J.
Finney, was wounded in the hand by its
accidental discharge. He was sitting down
at the time, and after passing through his
hand the ball grazed his leg making a slight
flesh wound. ~

We spoke last week of the improvement
contemplated in the trotting track at the Fair
Grounds. It is in contemplation, we under.
stand, and in fact progress is being fairly
made in that direction, to organize a Gentle-
man’s Driving Club here governed on the
plan, and with rules like the noted Waverly
Park Association, of Newark, N. J. There
they meet once a week for driving, and all
betting, pool selling or gaming of any kind
is strictly prohibited; neither do they .allow
the aching of any spirituous or malt liquors
on the grounds at any meeting of the Assam.
ation. Also, in all contests of speed ‘ouly
members will be allowed to drive-silo jock-
eys. Under these rules the'meetings cannot
fail to both orderly and pleasant.
Dann had the misfortune to lose another
valuable horse again last ' week. This time
it was one of his fine pair of blacks. Mr.
Dunn was greatly attached to this horse, and
probably feels this loss more than'any of the
many hehas experienced since starting his
stables in Norwalk. '
Acting-Warden Boatty has issued an official
notice in regard to the use of fire arms, fire-
f
f
lawlessness.
The spirit of lawlessness running into
petty mischiefs and down right sneak thiev-
ing, is getting to be perfectly unbearable
here in Norwalk. It is but recently alady
on Union Avenue, bid a good portion of her
“O‘NW‘SW including tholiuc, stolen in
the early evening.
' One of our merchants purchased a few
pots of flowering plants and took them home
to a little daughter. They were watered and
cared for with a devotion that showed the
liowersllad become “all the world" to the
child‘s affections. But one night, some
miserable thief carried them oil to the llttc
distress of the little girl. ‘
The stealing of fruits and flowers anti
plants has become of the most common oc-
currence. Recently some ghoul stole a vase
from our cemetery, where loving hands had
placed a boquet above the loved and dc—
parted.
On Thursday night, two cows were taken
but of their owners barn yard, on Union
Avenue and driven through two gates and
then on towards Daricll. For what purpose,
no one call divine unless it be tbcf t or a worse
dcviltry. -
On Sunday last, Rev. Wm. C. Mead, D. D.,
L. L. D.. completed his 48d year as Rector
of St. Paul's church. He preached in the
morning from Isaiah, 55:6; in the evening
from St. Luke, 12:5. During the many
years of his: Rectorship, he has preached
nearly 5,000 sermons, and has read publicly
25,000 chapters of Holy Writ. On his taking
the parish, there were in what was then call—
edNorwalk, 171 communicants, one church,
and one chapel just completed in what is
now Westport. There are now over 800
communicants, four churches and one chapel
in what was then called Norwalk. The first
Episcopal church in Norwalk is reported to
have been built in 1737 on the grounds of the
horse sheds in rear of the present church,
which was built in 1840. Dr. Mead is one
of four Episcopd clergyman in the United
States who have held their parish over forty
years without change.

.. One of our South Nor-walk correspondents
sentusanitem last week in regard to the
First M. E. church Sunday school. Presumo
ing it to be correct, we inserted it. We have
since lea that the item originally appear-
ed in‘ the final, and was written after a
visit to the Second M. E. .school, up-town,
and that while our correspondent changed
names, &c., he failed to make the figures
conform to the truth. For instancetbc First
church school has an average attendance of
168 while the Second church has 260. Other'
statements are true of the 2d church school
and not of the lat. Our readers will bear us
witness that we are not in the habit of steal —
ing items from other journals, and all inter-
ested will certainly excuse us forhavingbcen
victimized by a correspondent in whom we
placed confidence.
Tommy O'Brien fell from the top of John
Otis's new house on School street, on Thurs—
day last, landing in the cellar, fracturing his
skull. The lad is still living with a fair hope
of recovery, but it was a hard and perilous
bump for the climbing Tommy.
Our people generally, we think, will be
surprised to know to what an extent cigar
manufacturing is carried on here ‘ home.
Last week, we learn, those energetic manu-
facturers, Messrs. Hoyt & Olmstcad, purcbag.
ed and paid for some $10,000 worth of im—-
ported tobacco in addition to their domestic
supply. They employ a force of thirty men.
Last year their payments to the Government
amounted to about $10,000 for ten months.
We are glad to see them prosper. Taking
.our manufacturers altogether, the amount of
business done is surprisingly large.
The Bull Murder.
. The stolid ignorance and downright stupid.
ity Of the New York police system for de-
tecting crime, has had a must conspicuous
illustration in the recent murder case. Had
the negro been a sharp rogue and not igno-
rantly betrayed his crime, Capt. of Police
Williams would have continued to dog and
harass the already crushed husband, and as
the Herald says, his life would not have been
worth a rush so determined was the effort to
implicate him. A "tool,"- it is reported, had
already been secured to swear away his life
in expectation of the reward. The Tribune
most aptly says :'
“The persistence with which the unnatural
theory was urged upon the public is the more
culpable because it; has been the means of
turning a dark and terrible suspicion _upon'au
old man, broken down _already with grlcf,
who had no conceivable motive for: such an
act and whom we know now to be absolutely
innocent. Such c ”mes as this against estab-
lished character a in rude violation of the
sanctityof sorrow, deserve the lasting repro-
bation of all good men and women."
If hot weather makes summer we had
summer in ca'rnest'ltlst week. Friday and
Saturday the thermOmeter was nearly at par,
if not'quite. On Sunday afternoon there
was quite a violent storm of rain and wind,
ing the atmosphere very much for atime.
A8159 31th approaches, however, we may
reasonably expect very high temperature
again.

Runaways.
It is said “every dog must have his day."
This cannot apply to Norwulk, ofcoursc,
because there aren't days onOugh for all the
dogs. Like the largo and indigent family
where measles raged, “half the children escap-
ed 'causc there wcrn't measles enough to go
'round," the father chuckled. But it was
about horses we started out' to write. It
seemed all last week as if the horses were
bound to have their day, and their way too,
for that matter. Possibly they were trying to
get even with their equine neighbors up at
Danbury, where the stimulating cficcts of
the acriform fluids cmitted from the gaseous
staple of that noted village, sets all the
horses' tails at an angle of ninety—seven and
starts them off on a run away on every pos—
sible occasion. Our week opened early Tues-
day morning ,by the double—team of the
Lewisboro market wagon starting on a full
run from in front of the store of Holmes d1
Kceler. Most fortunately they dashed up
the steep ascent of High street, and getting
winded brought up against a tree near the resi-
dence of Mr. Wm. C. Street. The flying
runaways were hotly pursued by a village
doctor and a representative of the Gamma.
Both eager for “professional” business. On
reaching'thc spot of the abrupt halt, the
Doctor was chagrined to find no fractures
whatever, and the reporter was equally-dis-
gusted to find a first-class item spoiled just
at the supreme moment, for the wagon was
simply turned on its side, and neither it nor
the horses or anybody or anything else
harmed. Mr. Raymond has the congratula-
tion of the press, on this occasion, but if he
thinks this is the kind of item to be spiced
up and palmed off on an all too credulous
public, be is mistaken,
The next runaway was essaycd by the new
team and grandly painted milk wagon from
the lactehl farm at “Ledgcw ." This team
knew its business and dashed up Main street
in a way that was sure to awaken a genuine
sensation. A crowd of grown-up masculincs
and urchins ran whooping after the runaway,
and arriving in front of Mr. Charles Sbcrry's
found the spree at an end and no damage
done. The wagon continued to shine as
resplendent as a new Easter. bonnet and the
team just as ready as ever to convey to
coffee suckers and sucklings the creamy
wealth from the bovinc’s albulactic glands.
Item not worth a pint of chalk and water,
but a stern necessity compels a faithful re.
port of all local transpiring events.
Next, was an old whitchorse, which came
tearing up West Avenue with head and tail
high in air. He was hitched to an old box
wagon with an old harness. _All contipircd
to give the “turnout" an air of ancient
respectability struggling to assert itself
against overwhelming Odds. Old Whity had
more will than wind, and‘ on reaching the
junction of Wall street he beautifully careen-
ed his vehicle, broke a few of the cotton
strings holding together the too long pre-
served harness, and ingloriously stopped of
his own accord and thus spoilt item No. 3.
No cards.
_
The Lawn Entertainment given by the
ladies of St. Paul’s church society last Thurs-
day at the homestead of ex-Warden Dukam,
was a most pleasing and gratifying success,
and netted quite a sum for the "Mission
Home." Many were surprised at the extent
of the grounds,” well as with the large
number of charming nooks and walks about
the place. The attendance, notwithstanding
the damper cast on the entertainment by the
several light showers, was very good, and
the beautiful bower of flowers, the rustic
Jacob's‘Well in the grotto with Rebecca in
costume, the Gypscy Queen's fortune-telling
tent in the shady grove, the several retired
and handsome croquet plots, the delightful
outlook on the harbor, and last, but not least,
the refreshment and dining tables scattered
here and there, about the premises, all well
attended by the ladies, rendered it tin-impos-
sibility for any one present to be otherwise
than happy and contented. It was a most
enjoyable evening’s entertainment.
The Over River District School.
On Friday evening last, notwithstanding
the great heat, a large audience assembled
at the Opera House to witness the closing
exercises of the Over River District School.
Heretofore the school has attempted no pub-
lic exercises except in the school building.
On this occasion a more elaborate programme
than usual was made up, and in order to
give all - tbeparents and friends an opportu—
ity to attend the Opera House was en-
gaged as being more commodious and better
adapted for such an entertainment than the
school room. The children presented a. fine
appearanccon the stage, and their excellent
behaviourthroughout the evening was a sub-
ject of general remark. The exercises com-
menced with the chorus "True unto Death.”
Prof. Green acting as musical Director. As
a matter of course the singing by the well-
trained fresh voices was very pleasing.
The opening recitation was very creditably
rendered by Harry Smith, and was followed
by Caiistbenic exercises by the children of
the Primary Department, which were re—
ceived with general manifestations of de-
light. MiSS Jennie Nash performed apiano
solo, after which came "A Fair Fight" in
,which Eva Brown and Frank Bouton acquit-
ted themselves with credit. After another
chorus “Over Hill and Plain," Alfred Jack—
son recitcd “Poor Stephen Girard” in an ad-
mirable manner. The Bean Bag Race was a
novelty, and created great amusement, the
audience applauding rapturously. The dra-
matic sketch “Pet of the School” was well
acted, and- received by the audience with
much satisfaction. At the close of the play
there was an exceedingly well managed “sur—
prise" which proved of much interest. The
various characters were arranged in a semi-
circle. and Miss Chick, the teacher, had just
been presented witha watch, as called for
by the text, when Miss Nellie Bates who had
made the presentation speech, sudden-
ly faced to the wing and requested Mr.
Wigham, the Principal of the school,
to come upon the stage. Astonisbed at the
réqucst be complied, when the girls fell back
revealing a beautiful and costly silver plated
swinging ice pitcher, silver goblet and salver,
mounted on a walnut stand. and Miss Bates
continued in the language of the play, pre-
senting the same in behalf of her schoolmates
as“a token of the high esteem, love-and
reverence" in which he is held by the school.
The act;was very cleverly performed, and
the Principal was thoroughly surprised as
well as delighted at this expression of their
appreciation. He returned thanks as best he
could under the circumstances, and his con-
fusion was highly enjoyed. As he has held
the position of Principal of the school for a
period of ten years, this mark of esteem
from his pupils is something of which he has
a just right to feel proud. Freddie Hill read
“Dick Harden’s Letters,” a selection not on
the programme, in a manner giving promise
of elocutionary triumphs in the future. Liz-
zie Poyvez received many commendations
for the happy manner in which she read
“Mary Butler’s Ride.”
The amusing Pantominel“Love in Am-
bush, was exceedingly well performed, and
gave great satisfaction. The characters were
taken by Ella Nickerson, Olllic Clark and
Oliver Jackson. The exercises then closed
with a chorus “Vacation Song,!' and the au-
dience dispersed well pleased with the enter.
tainmcnt, gratified with the good behavior
of the children, and delighted with the suc-
cess of the school.
The teachers worked hard and faithfully
in training their pupils, and are deserving Of
much praise for the able manner in which
the entertainment was conducted. We hope
that hereafter similiar exhibitions will be
given at least once a year, as they tend not
onlytoimprove the scholars but to create
and renew interest in the, schools on the part
of parents. '

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
Oliver Weed is erecting a new "plasma,"
around the front of his neat little cottage.
John H. Smith has the finest exhibit of
callus or foliage plants ever seen in our great
city. -
Capt. Henry Wilson, U. s, N ,son of L. 0.
wflson, is home on vacation. He has been
on court martial duty all winter in South
American ports.
Dr. Pardcc, relieved now from the confin-
ing restraints of the regular society, tried
hard to make a horse “swap" with last
week’s circus men. It was for a “calico
horse," and the Dr. always did banker arter
“calikcrf’ as well as calomel, you know.
Capt. Bell and Capt. Fitch each gave a
pic-nic to some young folks,on Saturday last.
: E. W. Beard starts for the West this week.
He proposes to stay about six weeks, visiting
the large cities and also his brother George.
We will miss “Snow Flake" if he does not
succeed in letting her; he only wants about
$5 per minute while he is gone. This is a
chance for somebody.
There is to be a celebration at Roton Point
on the Fourth. Oration by H. H. Barbour,
boat and tub races, music, &c.
Byxbee's Hotel has received a coat of paint
inside and out, and has greatly improved its
appearance.
Habert Brown is home from Yale Col—
lege on his summer vacation. Mr. Brown is
making rapid progress in' his studies, and
will graduate in about two years, after which
he will study for the ministry. ,
Raymond Brothers have taken the contract
to remove the dirt from the Old Well prop-
erty. Tommy was in the cellar all day Sat-
urday overseeing the work and rushing it
along.
Butler Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., had their elec-
tion on Wednesday evening last and elected
the following officers : John H. Batterson,
N. G., Louis J. Blake, V. (3., Franklin A.
Smith, R. 8., Henry Pbillipson, P. 8., Wm.
H. Duncan,Trcas. ‘ ’ '
Mrs. Wm. H. Ferris. is out with a nice
looking rockaway. _ '
Representative Rowan had a little diversity
in his afternoon ride on Saturday. He and
his wife had been down to Roton for the
afternoon, and on their return when nearly
opposite Alderman my: place the horse took
fright and sheercd one side rather suddenly
and turned over the carriage, throwing out
himself, wife and boy, but fortunately did
not injure either,but broke‘the carriage some.
This is the second time his horse has done
the same thing, but there is a‘ consolation
about it she never attempts _to run away.
Capt. Ed. Smitb,of Five Mile River, met
with an accident last Saturday, while driving
through our streets with his grey steed, who
took fright and upset his wagon, throwing
himself and daughter but. Nobody hurt.
About twenty-five 'members of the 01d
Well Lodge paid a visit to Temple Lodge, of
Westport,on Thursday last.
E. A. Woodward and W. .E. Quintard
were around on Saturday morning raising
money to defray the expenses of fixing up
the track on the Fair Grounds. They met
with very good success.
Ex4Selectman Smith has for the last time
invited his many friends down to his home to
see his garden, chickens and many other
things that he has on his place. One day
last week he invited Stillson down to see his
celery plants; after they had looked at them
Mr. Smith, as he always does, invited his
friend to take some cider with him, but,.by
the way, he says, “I think' I have got the
beat well of water in town, and I would like
for you to try that first." Stillson, thinking
it would please him, accepted the invitation.
So they walked over to the well. Mr. Smith
put down the bucket, and when be com-
menced to pull it up said with a smile on his
face, “If our city water was only like this
which you are about toget it- would be a
great thing, but everybody can't have all
these luxuries." When he had the bucket
up he reached over to get his dipper and was
about to dip it in, when lo‘and behold "there
was one of thé largest bull frogs ever seen in
this city. which had'besu ‘dcad about t’wo
weeks. We have not heard friend Smith
say'anything about what he has on his place
since. Stillson did not wait for either cider
or water, but dug for the Old Hen Club, and
has not drunk any water since.
The residents on Clay [street are about
commencing to lay a curb and sidewalk.
John E. Smith is painting his building on
Railroad Place. .
The commencement exercises at Music
Hall were hardly as well attended as expect—
ed, there being only about four hundred
present. There seemed to be some dis.
satisfaction in regard to the seats. Some
say there was room enough for all, and that
it being a public matter all should have the
same chance of securing seats. The exercises
were good and the graduates did themselves
credit. The salutatory “Practical Educa-
tions," by Master William Foote, was render-
ed in good style; “Joan of Arc,” by Helena
Clarkson, was fine; “Silent Influence," by
Annie E. Comatock,though not very distinct-.
ly read, was a good paper; “Chivalry—the
old and the new,” by Alice R. Fitch, was
very fair; “Memory,” by Alida Day, was
exceptionally good; "The Chinese Question,”
by Lucien R. Bouton, was well presented;
“One Hundred Years Ago," by Carrie A.
SeymoUr, was very good and gave us an idea
of what. we may expect to see; _“A Day in
the Reign of Queen Elizabeth," by Mary
Evcndan, was well prepared; “Ruined
Talents," by Mary Day, was first rate and
appreciated ; “Mile Stones,” with Valedic-
tory, by Master Charles A. Mead, was a mas-
terly eflfort, it taking him nearly an hour to
deliver it, all being animated. He recei d
the congratulations of many of his friegs
by his efforts. Mr. S. T. Dutton presented
the diplomas with few appropriate remarks.
Rev. Mr. Hamilton was present and made a
few remarks which were well taken.
The reception given by the teachers and
graduates of Union School, on Friday even-
ing, was a grand success. There were about
three hundred in the balcony as spectators,
and the floor was well flllcd when the music
commenced for dancing. The music was by
the Howe Band, and the whole affair passed
off very pleasantly. '
‘Swartz has an undicnce large enough gen-
erally td start a young Hen Club. He would
make a 'good president hintsclf.
Jim Nash and John Ferris can beat the
world talking horse. W'e overheard John
and Jim, going up the hill' the other night.
Jim says to John, “I honestly think your
‘Nell' can beat Rowan’s ‘Nell,’ don’t you 7”
“Why, beat Rowan's horse," says John, "I
would trot: with him for fun or - marbles, or
horse for horse, or for any sum from $100 to
$500, the winner to donate the amount to
any charity in Norwalk that Rowan my
name." But he says, “Jim, you need not
say anything about 'it for Rowan and I are
old friends and I don’t want to beat him for
it makes him feel so had.”
We hear considerable talk among the hat-
tcrs. discussing the question, which shop can
turn out the best looking mens.- Those at
Crofut ck Knapp’s old shop, say they have
so many good looking men among them they
hardly know which to trot out, they men—
tion ex-Chief Kinney, as one of them, but
regret that he can't raise a respectable mus—
tache; but if he could, they say he would
take the cake, but they live in hopes yet.
And then there is Charley Stevens if they
could only get him to “shoot that hat" they
would bring him forward, but there is no
me trying .he will. persist in wearing it.
Then they speak of Commissioner Tierney,
he too they blow on, but regret that his mus-
tache is red, otherwise he would be brought
to the front. The batters at Solmans’ shop
claim to have some goon looking men among
them, they mention the Seymour-’3 and a
large number of others which take the prize.
We have not heard from the other shops
but will endeavor to keep our readers posted
on the subject.
