wens'a few of the many expressions of
approval heard all along theJi'ne of
‘ lantern parade last night. It was
mm great—the biggest bicycle-parade
ever given in Norwalk, there being, by
.actnal count, over 250 wheelmen in-line.
Every one of them had alantern of some
sort; there were very few who did not
bavb more than one, and some had ten
or a dozen of fantastic design. The
wheels, ‘as they silently moved along,
presented a truly beautiful sight, with
their. elaborate decorations of flags,
canopies, bunting etc. ,.
The parade started shortly beforcflzllf)
o’clock, andihe line of march arranged
and published was carried out. The
prowsslon was led by a corps of buglcrs,
followed by the captains of three of the
clubs in the parade—Wheeler. of the
Twin City Wheelmcn; Schweigcr, of the
Bridgeport Wheel club, and Evers, of
the Ramblers. Bridgeport. They were

thirty-five members; Ramblers, twenty-
five members; Alpha Wheel club, thirty
members; Twin City Wheelmen, forty
. members; Stamford Wheel club, twenty
members, and about one hundred unat-
tached wheelmen. The procession was
a Quarter of a mile long. The streets,
from start to finish of the parade. were
lined with people, who applauded the
wheelmeu as they passed.
Among the numerous handsomely
decorated wheels might be mentioned
those of George Ticker, entwined with
flowers and limiting, and surmounted
by an arch of lanterns; Captain Wheeler,
‘ Charles, Trowbridgc, cahopy of paper,

Chinese umbrella, with ten lanterns
suspended therefrom; James Ocrtle and
Theodore Tobey, canopies of paper,
with Japanese lanterns and flags; Tobey
brothers, big lanterns; Frank Sherman,

The tandcms were very prettily decor-

and Fred Ganung, with a frame of
hunting and lanterns. The Alphas
carried transparencies announcing their
race for this afternoon, and the Bridge-
port th1 club carried canls, announc-
ing their races for July 4th.
The decorations and pyrotechnics
displayed along the line of march were,
in many instances, quite elaborate.
Among those particularly Worthy of
note were the residences of Dr. L. M.
Allen, Mrs. Charles T. Raymond, D. E.
Dlsbrow. M. H. Tollcs, T. S. Vander—

number of guests, who viewed the
parade from the second floor of the
building.
After the parade t§ wheelmen went
to Arlen Hall, where the home club
served sandwiches, cake, lemonade and
fruit in abundance. ‘
The Twin City club is congratulated
today on the great success attendant
'upon its efforts. Although twice (limp-
poinicdby rain, the members did not
demir. and they have the pleasure of
knowing that they have given one of
thobest parades ever seen in this vi-
einity.

Dear Mildred: How do you like the
Yaleboys in caps and gowns? They
will make quite a classic appearance.l
should imagine. Is it the idea of the
faculty to prevent in this way the usual
rivalry among them in regard go grada-
ation dress? The girls of some of our
prominent colleges wear the classical
costume for that reason, I understand.
Perhaps in other years one; Yale boy
would turn green with envy because he
could not afford so brilliant a necktie as
his classmate, of because his tawny
locks; had not ‘grown‘ to the requisite
football .longthor breadth before com-
mencomcnt. lsupposctbe caps go far
to conceal the tangled mass of hair
which is the collegfi student‘s pride.
The commencemhnt exercises at Hill-
side, Mrs. Mcad's seminary. are taking
place. The graduationis tonight. Miss
Grace Byington is valcdictorian. I am
Anxious to hear her essay. She was
always fond - of the study' of
rhetoric. Probably the literary
taste is inherited. Her grand-
father, you know, is an editor. The
other graduatesare Miss Edith Louise
Hunter and Miss Edith Nickerson.
Miss Byington and Miss Hunter will
enter Vassar, and Miss Nickorson or-
pects to take the library course at Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn. Mrs. Moad’s girls
seem to incline to a college course.
A most enjoyable social event which
took place here Saturday was the I). A.
R. reception in the South Norwalk Con-
gregational church. Man‘y distinguish-
ed ladies from other cities were present.
A fine musical programme was rendered
and the decorations were super . Roses
of all descriptions adorned the rooms in
lavish profusion, against backgrounds of
ferns and palms. Some of the gowns
worn were exceedingly handsome. I
wish I had time to describe them. Many
of them were imported. The affair pas-
sed oil‘ with great oclnt, and it is my
private opinion that the out-of—town I).
A. R.’s will not be at all lotii to accept
another invitation to Norwalk some
day.
I hear that a New Haven clergyman
is making ‘a' slight sf'iulmtfvm among
your good citizens by scoring wlieoiincn
and whcclwomcn for taking b'undoy
rides. Don’t you think, my dear Mil-
dred, that disicriminution should be
used in this matter? I cannot at all up-
prove of Sunday meets or races. for my
own part; but, is there any more harm
in taking a «faint spin on ”Sunday to
church, for instance, or out in the coun-
try for a breath of pure air, than there
is in walking or in driving? _It is easier
than walking. and not every ono can
drive. I suppose it is a question which
everyone must decide for himself.
(imxl-byenny dear, until my next.
Yours, lines.
WIDE TIRES AFTER JULY l.
—.
The Law Affecting Heavy Vehicles Goes lolo
Effect at that Time.
The law passed by the Legislature in
the session of 1895, regulating the width
of tires of vehicles for the minsporta-
tion of merchandise, will go into effect
on the first day of July. The law pro-
vides that all vehicles used for such
transportation, ”except such as ware
already in use" prior to July 1, lHiN‘»,
shall be equipped as follows as to tires:
“All vehicles having an iron axle two
inches square or an axle of equivalent
capacity shall be equipped with tires
not less than four inches in width.
"All vehicles having all iron axle one
inch and thrust-quarters square or an
axle of equivalent capacity shall be
equipped with tires not less than three
inches in width.
"All vehicles having an iron axle one
inch and a half or an axle 'of equivalent
capadty shall be equipped with tires
not less than two and one-halflnchcs
in width."
The penalty for a violation of this
act is a fine of not more than $100. The
law is in line with the work on good
room! and is intended particularly for
the pmvcnticn of the destruction of
nwlsby cutting them“ up into ruts'by
heavy loads on narrow tires. The law
was objected toby local expmssmen at
the time of its passage, the clalmbc~
ing made that with such tires it would
be impossible toturn with heavy loads
in narrow ctr-(lets without taking up
much more room than wagons with the
present style of tires. It is well-known
that the wide tire makes the draft of
the vehicles lighter.

The commencement exercises at Hill-
side go steadily forward and the event-
ful time of graduation essays and diplo-
mas draws near. ’
Yesterday’s programme was most in-
teresting, and many prominent people
of Nor-walk gathered in Mrs. Mead's
parlors last night to hear Miss June
Brod, the noted violinist, and other or-
lists in harmony. Miss Reed did not
disappoint her critical audience and was
repeatedly uncured. "Die Moistcrsing‘
er" and the “Souvenir dc Risen" were
worthy of particular mention. Miss
Reed certainly prtssesws a rare mastery
over that-wonderful stringed instm-
ment, the violin. She has many com-
plimentary notices from the press of
various liq-go cities. In response torc-
poatcd calls, last night, she played
"Robin Adair" with rare expressiveness.
Miss Willis, the talented vocal in-
structor at Mrs. Mead's, won her way
to the hearts of her audience by her
tasmful and artistic rendering of the
Fruhlingszoit and of 'l‘ramnchlissWillis
DOSSGI'SPICQllVOlfSB.“'lllCll is both power-
fulnnd expressive. She is a pupil of
Marchcsi. 'of Paris, and Adams, of
Thump. and her own pupils proved last
night that she is an adopt in the art of
imparting her knowledge to others.
'Tho piano solos by Miss Alice A.
Blake, a pupil of .losoll'y, were very
artistic and loudly enacted, and the
vocal solos and doom by the Misses
Slaughter, alumni of Ilillsido, and for-
mer pupils of Miss Willis, also won
hearty cncon-s from the audience.
