A PICTURESQUE SCENE AT THE
BISHOP HOMESTEAD.
The Grounds Dotted with Umbrellas and
Tents, Under whlchmlllhesomofihlatrona
and Blues Pro-fried at Tables Laden
With Dainty Delfeaeles.
The spacious lawn surrounding the
handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs.
W. Franklin Bishop, on Belden avenue,
presented a picturesque scene, last night.
Large Japanese umbrellas and tents
were erected on various parts of the
grounds, and the combined effects of the
flickering lights and the mellow rays
of the moon made one of the handsom-
est spectacles seen in some time.
Seated on the plazha were the members
of the Apollo orchestra, who rendered
many highly pleasing selections through-
out the evening, adding much to the
pleasure of the occasion. Robert Van-
Buren was stationed at the entrance to
the grounds ready to gather in the
shekels and extend a cordial greeting to
all comers. Tables, prettily decorated
with flowers, dotted the lawn, while lit-
tle Miss Lottie Ii. Woodward acted as
flower girl and sold pretty bouquets.
The first tent to attract attention was
the flag tent, in charge of Mrs. G. A.
Gregory. It contained a display of flow-
ers. What appeared to be the center of
attraction was the lemonade tent, which
also contained floral decorations. It was
presided over by Misses Clara Bette, Vera
Wood and Grace Byington, and was well
patronized. Later it was the scene of a
merry gathering of young folks. Among
the ice cream tables was a unique um-
brella table, in charge of Mrs. C.
A. Harstrom, which with others, in
charge of Miss Mabel Miller, Misses
Henderson, St. John, Mott .ind
lloyt, found many patrons. I'lach cori-
taincdadisplny of flowers. The candy
table, tustily arranged, and which proved
especially attractive to the younger ele-
ment during the afternoon and the early
part of the evening, was in charge of
Mrs. E. A. Woodward, who presided
over it in a pleasing manner. The prin-
cipal attraction in the refreshment line
was the main supply and cake table, pro-
sided over by Mrs. C. W. Many, Miss
Smith and Mrs. LrGruud Belts. It con-
tained at dainty and tempting abundance
of good things, and llllt‘ the numerous
other tables, received generous patron-
ago.
Among other attractions was the for-
tune telling tent in charge of Miss Clem-
intine Cholwell and Mrs. George ll.
Byington, which also came in for a good
share of attention. The Punch and Judy
people, who appeared to be highly en-
tertained in witnessing and listening to
this quaint performance, which was con-
ducted in an amusing manner by two of
Norwnlk's popular fun makers, (i. ll.
Ninth and A. Austin.
llcv. S. ll. Watkins, assisted ly the
nu-mbcrs of tho Ilaughtcrs of the King,

The party was a most successful vcn-
turn, highly complimontziry to lb.- ingr-
nuity of the ladies of Grace church
Guild, under \VllOl-lt‘ auspices it was cori-
ccivcd and given. The wcntlwr being
most propitious and the sight of the var-
ious tables hub-n with delicacies being

Gcnural Jamicson, of Middletown, that
the members will accept his proposition
to feed them by contract at Camp llrnd-

the deduction of one-half the cost from
their pay for the tour of duty.
Two organizations, Company if,

eat them themselves. Other organiza-
tions of :the brigade will watch with in—
terest the process and its subsequent de-
velopments. The reasons for this are
said to be dissatisfaction with the cater-
ing at Camp Morris last year and a do“

When father Time had measured off
thalleconds, minutes and hours of yes-
terdby until man’s recorder showed that
4 o'nIOck had arrived, the entrance of an
occlislon of delight was heralded by
members of the Young Woman‘s club,
who had assembled at the steamboat
whorl, and soon the party, with sails set,
was rlding the waves in R. J. Cutbill‘s
boall,tbe “Bertha A,"with Paul Cutbill at’
the helm and his brother Alfred ready to
obey the captain's commands. No bet-
ter day could possibly have been chosen.
Someone must have catered to the
whims of old Neptune some time or
other before the club set out, for he was
most lavish with his favors, sending the
boat along with celerity, and old ocean
tostled high his head, dashing spray over
the merry party, the rollicking waves
adding to the pleasure.
Among those who enjoyed the delight-
ful still were Misses Margaret and Minnie
Baltrett,Lizzie Steegmuller,NeIlie Coutu,
K. Germond Vrsburgh. Lula M. Snit‘fen,
Mrs. Minnie Nash, Mrs. Bernard Rey-

supply of delicious refreshments were
aboard, and thus regaled there was noth-
ing; lacking in a perfect afternoon. A
stop was made at Roton Point and a por-
tion of the party landed.
The homeward still was made around
the bell buoy, and although not. through
as boisterous a sea as the outward trip,
it was truly delightful. There were
nuiny yachts, launches and other craft
enjoying the brisk breezes and rolling
waves, but none could have conveyed a
happier party or more genial captain and
mute than did the commodious “Bertha
A." k
Landing was made at the wharf at
about 8:30 o'clock, all declaring that the
afternoon had proven an even more joy-
ous occasion than anticipated, if such
were possible.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOBEBS.
Nearly Fifteen Thousand Delegates Have
Arrived In Cleveland.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says
that city was gsyly dressed in yellow and
while and red, white and blue yester~
day when the delegates to the big Chris-
tian Endeavor convention began arriving
in force. Nearly every store, shop and
other business establishment in the down-
town district was profusely decorated.
either upon the outer walls or in the win-
dows, the effect being beautiful and in-
spiring. At the various railroad stations
and steamship wharves the members of __
the reception committees were to be
found at the break of day and they con-
tinued at their stations until relieved by I
others on like missions.
The scare on account of the strike in-
terfering with the plans of intending
visitors has blown over to some extent.
and while the attendance will undoubt-
edly becut down to a considerable ex-
tent, still the convention will be a very
large one. Big delegations came from
Detroit, Toledo and Buffalo by boat, and
envy train was crowded. Besides these
a number of specials came in bearing
visitors from points east, west and south.
Last night it is estimated that from
twelve thousand to fifteen thousand had
arrived. Rallies were held in fifteen
clerhI-s. They were largely attended.
A source l f genuine regret is the un-
avoidable abacus» of the venerable
president and founder of the society,
the Rev. Francis E. Clark, of Boston.
President Clark left his summer homs‘in
Maine last week with the intention of T"
joining the delegation from Boston and
coming to the convention. He was,
taken ill with nervous prostration, bows ._
ever, and his physicians forbade him un-
dertaking the journey. . .
The trustees of the society held a meet-
ing yesterday afternoon, to determine ,,
upon the meeting places for 1895 and“?'
13596. As the attitude of the railroads in": "1‘
the matter of rates has suddenly become
favorable for a Pacific coast convention,
itis probable that the meeting of 1895
wili be held in Sun l-‘rancisco.

Cillf'llo Johnson and the “Tower."
Last evening Eugene Clark was en-
gngcd by the manager of the Postal Tele-
grph company to get a horse at Selmans’
ample and with the “tower," a con-
trivnutl’used for stringing wires, go to
Meade street after several coils of wire.
Clark secured the services of Cbplel . 1
Johnson to assist him and started off.
Aftsrthoy had secured their load and
started for the stable, the horse ran the
wagon upon a bank. and Johnson was
thrown off, falling under the wheels of
the vehicle, which passed over his legs,
bruising them quite badly. When the
Washington street crossing was reached
the "tower” was too high to go under the
wire, and the gates were badly broken»
a result. As they were driving into the
stable, the “tower” came in contact with
a telephone wire and broke it.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Club
