TOWN MEETING—Continued.
Joseph A.:Gray:—“I’m in favor of al-
lowing children to celebrate all holi-
days. Did hot believe in having the
schools in session on Saturday to make
up for the loss of some other day. I
taught shool myself once."
Charles Olmstead:—-“The school
terms are so arranged as to provide for
the close of the schools on holidays.
If the teachers had held session of their
schools on Saturdays it was not on the
authority of the school visitors.”
Richard Cutbill:—“I won’t allow my
children to attend school on Saturdays
to make up for lost time on account of
holidays.”
Principal E. H. Gumbartz—“I have
held a session of my school on the 22d
of February. I do not think it fair to
ask that a session. be held on that or
any other holiday, or onSaturdaye."
John H. Light—"There is not a
town in the state that calls for the keep-
ing of the schools 200 days. Forty
weeks was the high water mark. I
favor 38 weeks. .We ought not to dis-
criminate against the teachers.”
Charles Olmstead thought that Mr.
Light was conveying the impression
that he had spoken in a slurring man-
-ner of the teachers and others. He had
no such intention.
Despite the cries for the original
question, Bradley S. Keith was recog-
nized by the chair. He said that he
had known the schools to be closed
every day for a week during county
fair time, as well as for circuses and
fire parades.
John H. Light:

After some little more sparring and
cries for the question the original reso-
lution was adopted. ‘
Attorney George Honneckey present.
ed a resolution asking that the select-
men be authorized and instructed to
release and quit claim unto Anna R.
Quirke, for a nominal consideration all
right and title which the town may
have in and to a certain track of land at
the southerly end of the bridge at East
Norwalk, etc.
After Messrs. Honnecker, Isaac Sel-
leck, Miner D. Randall, Captain George
S. Bell and others had discussed the
matter the following substitute resolu-
tion was adopted Mr. Honnecker hav-
ing withdrawn his original motion: '
WHEREAS, Nearly thirty years ago
the land now occupied by the Benedict
Farm bridge in connection With land
now situated on the westerly and east-
erly sides of said bridge was conveyed
to certain persons on the condition that
the same should be kept open to the
public for highway purposes, the fee to
remain in the grantor and grantees; and
WHEsEAs, Anna R. Quirk, M.
Randall and others now occupy all of
the land so conveyed for highway pur-
poses. and situated; on. the westerly and
easterly sides of said bridge and are
desirous of obtaining any title which
the town may have. in and to the same;
therefore,
RESOLVED, That the selectmen be
and they ,hereby are authorized, em-
powered, and instructed to ascertain
whetherthe town is likely to need any
more of said land for highway purposes,
and, if in their judgement the same is
not likely to be needed for highway pur-
poses, to sell all of the town’s interest
in the same for such sum or sums as
they may think and believe-to be just
and proper under all the circumstances
and to execute and deliver to the respec-
tive purchasers proper quit claim deeds
for the same on behalf of the town.
It was agreed that the names of those
who have received ,aid from the town
during the past year be left out in the
printing of theTown Reports.

“That is ancient

, Deepite Lowery Skies and Rain it Was a
Success.
The Southport fire laddies and their
friends have been busy for several days
in getting in readiness for the fire
parade which took place yesterday.
The entire village was in gala dress
yesterday in honor‘of the parade. The
residences and stores along the line of
march were decorated with flags and
hunting and presented a holiday ap-
pearance. Hundreds of visitors ar-
rived during the morning and the prin-
cipal streets over which the parade had'
been advertised 'to pass, were lined
.with people from the surrounding
towns.
The line of march took the parade
which was participated in by about 300
firemen, including Chief, Engineer J. T.
Prowitt and Assistant Fred W. Smith,
ten members of the Pioneer Hook and
Ladder 00., two of Hope Hose Co. and
six of the Phoenix Engine Co. of this city
through all the principal streets. At
the conclusioi‘i a very creditable exhibio
tion test of the engine was given.
After the parade, all adjourned to a
tent which had been pitched in the rear
of the engine house where a collation
prepared by the ladies, was served.
During the collation music was fur-
nished by the band. The spread was a
tempting one and it is estimated that
over 800 persons enjoyed it.
Happy speeches were made by sev-
eral gentlemen, among, them Hon. E.
J. Hill and Chief Engineer Prowitt.
The firemen report having received a
hearty welcome, and as having spent
an enjoyable afternoon with the South-
port fire laddies and their friends.

next Wednesday evening. But to those
who have not seen Adelaide Herrmann
and her brilliant dances, there is a new
delight in store. These. marvels of
color and motion which she has made
famous, speaka new language to the
senses. Every passion, every impulse
of the heart is aroused by the changing
hues. The life of the dancer is in the
midst of dazzling light, and lends
to it a human significance. The colors
leap about in her flames and are tossed
like waves; they bench and beseech,
they have voices that clamor and moan,
they sing, and accuse and encourage.
