Some of the Hartford papers are criti-

secresy.“ The following is froma corre-
spondent from New Haven to the Hart-
ford Couranfi—"The resignation of
Horace Day. secretary of the board of
education, after nearly twenty years of
faithful service. has been a surprise to
many of his friends. It is oonjeeted
that the sppomtinent of Superintendent
Dutton as successor to Ariel Parish has
had something to do with Mr. Day's
movement. His duties have been of a
varied character. He has been the gen-
eral supei visor over the school buildings
and property of the districts, and has
done the buying of supplies. Mr. Dut-
ton intends to take in band a good deal

with the booksellers, hitherto out of the
immediate jurisdiction of the superin-
tendent. The button plan of manage-
ment in school Iflairl depends for its
victories on sublime secrecy. There hav-
ing been. not long ago, some public dis.
cussion of a change of books, (Button
having won the fight). the next change
made was not even reported to tboboard
until after it was elected. The same
principle was recently manifested in the
appointment of a principal of a gram-

Fire.

Shortly before one o‘clock Saturday af-
ternoon'aii alarm of fire was sounded
from box 85. and in a short time it be-
came known that the for bat shop of
Brown 6|Sberwood..ou Bonsawnio ave-
nue. was on fire. The fire de tment
was on hand promptly. but the law had

shied such headway that there was no
possibility of saving the building, and
the fireman devoted theh‘energles to sav-

enbuil in across the street. owned by

the intense heat, and won d in all proba-

The fire broke out n the drying room

Political.

 

VVho is the coming mayor.
There is talk of a change in the
of Selectmen.
Two weeks from next Monday the city
and town elections take place.
Exomayor Swartx will positively de-
cline a renominatiou for the mayorslity.
Councilman Comeback has made an
excellent councilman. The tax payers
of this city should see to it that he is
kept there.
We can‘t find a man in town who
wants an office. but we doubt if it would
take it great amount of persuasion to get
them a “leetle interested."
The present board of Councilmen has
been an economical one for the tax pay-
ers—and strange to say a majority of
them are democrats.
Representative Bell of Rowsyton was
in town on Monday having a “talk"
with the leaders of his party. We pre-
sume he will be renominated.
Mr. John W. Scott is the coming man
of the republican party in this city. He
will probably be a delegate to the state
convention at New Haven next week.
Next Friday evening a republican cau-
cus will take place in the office of Judge
Boiiton to elect delegates to the state
convention which takes place at New
Haven on the 20th.
We are informed Marshal Kinney is
offering as high as ten dollars for every
vote cast for him at the coming demo—
cratic caucus. Better keep you: money
Eugene—this is an of! year for dem-
ocrats. they won't have mayor Swartzto
pull them through this time.
It looks very much now as though
Lieut. Gov. Bulkeley would receive the
republican nomination for governor at
New Haven next Wednesday. Editor
Candee of the Bridgeport Standard will
probably be uninitiated for Lieut. Gover-
nor. It will be a strong ticket and aliard
one for the democrats to beat.
Eli-councilman Cunningham is talked
of as the republican candidate for mayor.
Mr. Cunningham has held several pub-
lic positions and has always filled them
to the entire satisfaction of all. besides
he has been an earnest worker in the
interest of his party. and the nomina-
tion would be a proper "cognition by
them. .

Again the equilibrium of the Democ-
racy of the country is disturbed. Dur-
ing the last presidential campaign the
tariff question disturbed them. At pres-
ent they are worse off than even—“Rum
or no rum is the question.“ and from
present appearances it looks to us as
though it will be rum with them. Prob-
ably this is explained by the fact that a
good many of them take to it as natur-
ally as n “duck does to water.“

At Governor Bigelow‘s headquarters
at the encampment at Niantlc last week
there was ii large amount of political

board

all in the interest of Lieut. Gov. Balka-
Iey. We are informed everything was
cooked and dried for his nomination.
Well its better to use the peoples‘ money
that way than to assess their servants

The Fair.

The forty-second annual fair and cat-
tleshowof the Fairfield County Agri~
oulturalSooloty opened hastily under
favorable circumstances though with
small attendance. On mm than
was a bone trot of county borne—four
mlnuteclus. and: game of base ball.
Arthur Sherwood‘s lions “Contact,"
took the first prise of 325.00. and Mon-
son‘s horse of Smtford took mood
prise.

GOOD LUCKS V8. ROSIDALES.

The game of ball advertised to take
plwe between the above named clubs
for a silver ice pitcher offered by the
society, took place in the presence of a
large number of spectators. The grounds
were in excellent condition. Game was
called about three o‘clock with the Good
Luck: at the bat, who were disposed of
with a “goose egg." The Rosedaleetook
the ash and scored one. The second in-
nings results?! in one for 600de
and four for Roosdales. From this time
forth the game was uninteresting and
evident that the Roeedales were too
much for our home nine, they getting
only one more run during the game,
while the Rosedales amused themselves
running the bases. No special feature
of the game was noticeable. Prof.
Johnston acted as umpire. The follow-
ing is the score by innings:—

Innings, 1 2
Good Luck, 0 1
e, 1 4

The display in the building is good,
but we do not think it is up to last year.
The ladies’ needle and fancy work de-
partment is unusually full and embraces
everything that dexterious fingers and
varied taste could imagine or execute.
The display of cut and potted flowers is
rather limited. Mead and DeKlyn of
Norwalk have, as usual, an extensive
variety of confectionery. Mr. George
V. York of this city. makes a fine dis.
play of white metal bronze in the shape
of a handsome monument and statuary.
Mr. J. W. Studwell of this city excels
: lothersin the display of musical in-
struments. Ho reissues-nu the Schonin-
gei- 00.. and has a verymonspicuous
spot in the building. Sewing' machines
ore to be seen in many places. A. Dick-
ermand: Son of this city, exhibit the
“New Home." which is considered one
of the best, and Mr. Wheeler is on hand
showing to the inquirers its many ad-
vantages. Mr. D. B. Stout of this city
makes a fine display of work done on the
Wheeler 1!: Wilson new No. 8, besides he
has five machines constantly running on
different work. He has with him Mr.
Ludlow. the manager of the Bridgeport
department and Mr. Curtis of the same
concern. These gentlemen are artists
and produce the most intricate work on
the new No. 8. Besides these there are
two handsome young ladies in Mr.
Stout‘s department who produce very
fine work, and from appearances we
should say Mr. Stout is having a “fair”
time of it. Mr. Reed of Bridgeport
makesa fine display of carpets. MrsJ-‘aw-
oett‘l display of mllliuery livery fine.
The working of electricity is thorough-
ly demonstrated under the skillful hand
of manager Lee of the Telephone 00.
Music is furnished by the Howe band
and is very good. The promenade concert
last evening was fairly attended, and the
programme was well selected. The con-
cert is to be repeated this evening. The
horse trot yesterday afternoon wu not
very exciting. In the 8.40 clam Mr. Col-
lender‘s horse of Darlenjtook the prime.
In the 3 minute class 8. I... Knapp’s
horse of Stamford took the prise. To-
day (Tbilisday) is supposed to be the
the grand day. The attendance up totlis
present time has been rather small.

The pupllc schools closed this after
noon to give the scholars an opportuni-
ty to attend the fair.
