The procemliiigs of the court of common
pleas till the injunction stilt brought by
l‘ook ik llilton against the Oyster Associa-
tion of South Norwalk. (commenced by
l‘t'llllt sl). before Judge llall. Who heard
the it alimony of one witness. and learned
from their council that their principle re-
liance for the defence of the injunction
were the healing acts of 1878 and 1879,
and as a request was made by both parties
in the suit that a decision be given on
that. point. as it was well known that
Judge llall had not the power to go any
further in his decision, as all the pa era in
the suit called for a hearing in the ‘uperv-
ior court to make the injunction rpet-
uiil. and accordingly J udgo Hall a ter pp-
tiently hearing all that could be said v
both parties in the case. and himself tak-
ing several days to deliberate on the sub-
jeot. decided against the invalidatory acts
of 78 and Ti): :stating “ that the ' never
were intended to heal up any illega ly com-
missioned natural growth oyster ground.“
which was a decided victory for the Oyster
Asswiaticn. covering all the outworks of
the enemy that were cwposcd. The further
hearing will commence in the Sn rlor
court in the course of about one wee , for
all inj auction cases take precedence of any
other business. And here in the'uame of
the Oyster Association we won d thank
their counsellors Messrs. Hurlbutt a: Ital-
yoa for their management in britging
this case before the court in so summary
a manner. Lawyer llurlbutt has long
been known an an eloquent advocate, an
industrious and reliable investigator of all
the points in any controversy. and now
the oystermen of South Norwalk and all
over the state look with pride at his able
management of this case.
A branch store from New York for the

Portohester Flrc Parade.
The grand flreman’s parade took place
in Pox-cheater last Thursday. and to say it
was grand does not express it. It was a
success in every particular—the day. the
collation. the music, the place. and in fact
everything was just right for a grand
time and it was such in every sense of the
word.
It was all life at the Old Well Truck
house on Havlland street as early as seven
o‘clock Thursday morning. The truck
Was taken out and loaded on the cars.
Shortly after the Bose company of Nor-
walk arrived, after which came the Dan-
bnry and Bethe! companies on a special
train. At eight o‘clock sharp everythlzf
was ready" and the word was given “ l
aboard" and in less than a minute they
were on their
charity tbmgbouttbe country will.“ to? p i y
themhlvea and begin work again on their
wlgwam where were are loaded tabla.
each of which accommodated two oom-
ponies. After the collation the Truck
company loaded their truck and were
then conducted back to the headquarters
of ._Harry Howard company and were
again entertained with cigars’ and reI
freshments. The Harry Howard oom-
pany left nothing undone to entertain
their guests, and their endeavors were
fully appreciated by Old Well Hook&
Ladder company of this city.
Our modesty will not admit of our
speaking as we should of our own com-
pany. but we will say that they looked
and behaved as gentlemen, and with their
polka dot neckline and pocket handker—
olilefs created quite a sensation, and were
applauded all along the line of march,
and were finally presented with an ele-
gant cake made by Mrs. H. A. Mead for
the best looking company in line, which
they brought home with them and placed
in Comatock Brothers window.
Taking the day in all it was one of the
most delightful to everyone, firemen and
those who witnessed it, everybody going
to their homes with the perfect satisfac-
tion that nothing had occasioned to mar
the pleasure of the event.
PARADE NOTES.
Freddie Boerum and Jessie Tollesaro
going to visit Portcbester next Sunday.
They say they have got something down
there that is “immense."
Gil Bogart was a little mean. We un-
derstand he had a whole ket full of
handkerchiefa at the para la but did not
bring any home to his Wife.
In passing the Aniogerone truck com-
pany of GreellWlCll in the line of march.
‘oreinan Kinney mistook the name and
called for three cheers for "Oleomarfla-
rl'nc Truck company of Greenwich."
The cheers were given with a will.
“Shep” took the “pull" instead of the
“cake.‘ ’
Editor Jones of the ll‘eatporfer flirted
with every girl on the line of march.
Oakley Smith caught the first girl.
Oakley is quiet, but then.
That waxed moustache of Assistant
foreman Smith just done the business.
We were not able to count the winks he
received.
Matt. Cox bett took the cake for the fin-
est “guinea“ in the line.
Eddie Beard did not participate in the
parade because Matt. was in line. Ed.
says he will have his "goatee" in shape
for the next one.
Foreman Kinney was a little off when
he called for “three cheers for the illumi-
nations.“ We resume it was on account
of the New Yer state water (1’).
Chief-Engineer McGowan was the best
looking engineer in the line. We under-
.stand he left all of the nets presented
to him on the line of were i at Portohesor.
Assistant Foreman Harvey done more
“mashing“ than any other man in line.
He arrived home on a late train. That
blood color boquet did the business.
We will not give Benger or Capt. Clark
away this time, but look out in the fu-
ture.
Mr. George Lowe was standinghon the
front'stoo ) of one of the hotels in en the

Kinney happened tones im and called
for “three cheers for Senator Lowe,“
which were given with a will and were
gracefully acknowlcd l b George in a
polite bow. and later y as his the boys
in to “take something."
That mustasehe of Capt. Charley Byx-
bee‘s took immensely.
George Ferris told some of the girls lia-
niense sh stories. \
Banger on the tiller had thb advantage of
tlpilboys. He completely annihilated the
g r s.
“Gummy“ was the first man to get an
of his pocket handkerchief.
Billy Benedict and ex-chlef Frank M.
Smith seemed to be ve tlal to two
young ladies of tall comp exion.
George Lowe (better known as the sen-
ator) and George I. Keeler done more
“mashing" (orange and bananna peels)
than all the Truck company put together
at the parade. .
Foreman Kinney has had for a long
time a bad habit of scratching his head in
a parade. Whenever the procession would
stop Eugene would go for his head. His
assistants Harvey and Smith had made
up their minds to break him of the habit
at the Portcheater parade, and had told
him if he attempted it the would "plug“
him one as a gentle rem nder. T lugs
went all right until the procession was or-
dered to halt, and no sooner had the
done so than Eugene went for his hen ,
and about the same time he received a
thud from either side from his assistants.
There was no trouble after that. Eugene
waited until after the parade and then
went; off by himself to enjoy his “scratch."
The second cake was taken by the Old
Well Hook a Ladder boys, they having
the most elegant suit and makin the
prettiest appearance.—-Greenwich

A queer creature was obarved traveling
with the Old Well boys of South Not-walk.
It was a negro the called by the elegant
title of "Shep." ewes literally loaded
down with adomments of various colors
and designs. and as be atrutted throu h
