ion ai Roion Point

 

The cake walk and prize waltzing
contest at Roton Point. last night. un-
der the auspices of Reliance Hook and
Ladder Company. of Rowuytou, will
go on record as being the moat largely
attended affair of a similar nature ever
given In Tlte Norwalks. Fully one
thousand people were In the pavilion
during the evening. and many more.
unable to gain admittance, remained
on the outside. Professor Lowe and
It 'eIl-kuown Roton I’oint orchestra

waltzcs and two—steps were indulged in
during the early part of the evening.

The judges selected were Professor
S. B. Toms and William Jones, of
Stamford; Thomas Francis Welch.

Noonan, of South Norwalk.

At the time appointed for the cake
walk Mr. Cole announced that several
couples who were to have been present
had failed thus far to appear. and said
that the prize waltz would be competed
first. with the hope that the absent
ones would put In an appearance later,
Owing to a misunderstanding, how-
ever. the orchestra started the music
for the cake walk, and David Chad-
well and Miss Mary Anderson. (color-
cd) of the Clinton House. Stamford.
started the walk. They were followed
shortly by Thomas F. McGurry. and
Miss Marjorie Weston, of South Nor-
wulk. Both couples were heartily ap-
plauded as they performed many diffi-
cult and Interesting features.

Shortly after the cakewalk was com-
menced, the electric lights In the pavil-
ion gave out, mttch to the disappoinb
ment of the spectators, and the walk
was-finished- Inc-dm aided by
.nutches held here and there In the
bands of some enthusiasts. The lights
remained extinguished about twenty
minutes. The judges finally awarded
the cake to Mr. McCarty and Miss
Weston.

Shortly after the prize waltz was
commenced. About twenty couples ap-
peared on the floor at first to enter the
competition. 'I‘en couples were chosen
front these after the dance had pro-
gressed a few minutes. and the dancers
were gradually diminished until the
judges awarded Miss Frances Bassen.
whose partner was Ernest Platt, DOHA
of South Norwalk. the first prize. and
Miss Younger. of Stamford. the sec-
ond. The first prize was a 85 gold
piece and the second a handsome silk
parasol,

Beside the crowds of people present
’rom Norwalk and surrounding towns
there were two excursions at the Point.

The largest was from Bridgeport.
on the steamer John Sylvester. and In-
cluded the employee of the Challenge
Cutlery Corporation. This was the
annual complimentary event given by

he company to their employee, and
was naturally much appreciated. The
party was in charge of Secretary and
'I‘rersuror CnKloefkorn. and special ar-
rangements had been made so that the
carousel and other features at the
Point were free to the members of the
party. The other excursion was from
Northport and Huntington. Long Is~
land, on the steamer Maid of Kent. and
there was a large party on board this
vessel also. and a most enjoyable time
was hadby m

the yacht began to fill. They sent one
young man on shore to look around
for shelter. When he returned he

yacht. The other three worked the
pump all night and the anchor drag-
ged. When morning came they were

their clothes a little and cook by the
fire in a small stove In the cabin.

get help from the tent on the east end
of the island, but one of the men said:
