Sale of Valuable Property.
We are informed that. there is to be an
important sale of valuable real estate, cou-
sistiug of about fifty buildingr lots, 50x200
feet, or thereabout, on St. John, Laurel and
Osborn avenues, near the residences of W.
H. Earle and James L. Ambler, Esqs, being
the remaining portions of the George A. St.
John place. This is very desirable property‘
for gentlcnrelr‘s residences. Of course we
must not complain of the size of the lots. as
any two of them will make it hundred feet
front. This river property is very com-
manding. It is just without the borough
limits, yet the gas and' water pipes reach the
property. It is to be sold at public auction,
on Tuesday, Sept. 10th, without reserve, on
liberal terms.

Pursuant to adjournment, the Board met.

lowing members being prwent: Thomas

Minutes of previous meeting were read and
approved. -
The following bills were referred to the
Financial Committee:
E. S. Piatt, $5.80; James Benedict, Jr.,
39,60; Buckingham & 00., 80 cents.
Petition of Clarence Nash, 4‘ cl, to have

ferred to the Street Committee,
Petition of W T. Craw,dal., to fix the

The following report was referred to the
Street Committee for further investigation:
' yetniar from any sabon
sweet cider district, they seemed to have
doubt that that could be, so they went for it.
Approaching, unarmed, they were soon con-
vinced that it was game of other sort, and
not a beer barrel at all, although a signifi-
cant map from the head now thrust toward
quite a tassel with the reptile before he was
caught. Being advanced in years he had
learned wisdom, and somejngenuity withal.
If they attempted to take him at the side,
his old head would instantly be in position
for defense. An attack at the rear was
warded of} by an admit “ ’bout shipmmove-
meat, and, indeed, when they tried to do
scend on him from above, be evaded by
making a. dive. :For some ' time the men
were pestercd in this way, till finally, one,
more bold than the rest, availed himself of
tbe implement of last resort,——a cudgel thrust
rapidly forth and back, close to his proboscis.
Of course he grabbed at it, out of pure‘ cuss~
edness" and revenge, as all members of his
family have been known to do, since the
creation, and a few moments later he was
triumphantly lured into the clutches of vie-
tors who had labored earnestly for the spoil.
Policemen Orrin A. Tuttle and William
Waterbury, ofi‘ duty for a few hours, hap-
pened along on their way to Roton Point,
and to them the men presented the monster.
They attached a strong cord to bistail,slung
him to the binder axle of their carriage, and
treated him to a ride to the Point. The folks
down there opened their eyes, and raised
their hands on high, to behold so large a
gosling turtle, and, on weighing him by the
steelyards, it was found that be raised the
beam at fifry~one pounds and a fraction. He
was left on the premises, and no doubt will
form the ingredient for exquisite soup in a
day or two. -

“Green Turtle Matinee.”
Last week, invitations announcing that
“ Green Turtle Soup" would be served at
Roton Point, by Mr. Walter Scarles, on Tues-
day afternoon, at it o‘clock, were exten-
sively sent out. In response, a large num-
ber of people from this city and vicinity,
and, indeed, from Stamford, Darien and
across the Sound, assembled The day was
most lovely and it was a luxury to recline
beneath the shades of those glorious old
trees. Moorcd near the beach were crafts
of all sizes, some with their sails flapping
1:11in in the wind, as if to indicate that
their owners were in no great haste. Parties
of ladies and gentlemen were taking advan<
tags of therreceding tide, for a bath. Along
on the rocks, were others in knots engaging
in conversation. A party of Sunday School
scholars: from New Canaan, in gay dresses,
were making themselves happy in songs,
sandwiches, and other good things which
that bright region furnishes. A sloop load
of ladies and losses from Long Island were
shaking the “light fantastic" to music fur-
nished by a well known violin scraper, and
tlrerc,prominent and graceful were inter-
mingled, a friend or two from Norwalk,
known to be at bome,a1ways, in the ball-
room, or anything resembling iL A count-
less number of equipages of every conceiv-
able style were at rest among the trees, the
horses enjoying the scene, evidently as
much as their more rational owners. The
low., tabk- bod been bcdeckcd with a spic
spun new \vlritc lablc cluth, upon which
were placed the e! «av-as, necessary to make
the occasion a success. Amid this scene of
activity, life and grriety, Scarles served out
some of the best soup we ever tasted, made
from a genuine green turtle caught to order
at the South. A scientific caterer alone
knows how to cook and flavor so as to coax
appetite. Scarles evidently has some one
behind the scene fully instructed and capable.
The soup was superb, if we are to judge
from sundry gentlemen who came from far.
on purpose to taste it, and would notbe
comforted until they had seen the bottom of
their fourth plate. As for ourself, a hearty
dinner taken a half hour before,did in no
way impede our progress with a second
plate. Then followed chowder, seasoned fit
for an epicure. Two plates of that convinc-
ed us that Searies knows his business. At
one time one hundred and seventeen per-
sons were soup—ing, by actual count the num-
bers rapidly increasing. At 5 o‘clock acqui-
sitions of ladies and gentlemen from the city
and Norwalk came down in backs and car-
riages to get their share, and spend an even—
ing among the trees, and have the fun of
driving back by moonlight. Every person
present seemed to be happy, and to feel un-
der obligations to a host who could favor
them with so agreeable an entertainment.
We hear of other soup matinees to follow
