Something over 400 people assembled
in Germania hall last evening, the oc-
casion being an entertainment given
under the auspices of the South Nor-
walk Athletic club. A representation
Of state, church and interstate, watch-
ed the proceedings from start to finish.
There was singing, dancing, club
swinging and Sparring galore. Notice-
able for points was the meeting of John
Conroy and Joe McMahon. Connelly
and Walker did some fine sparring, and
better was that in the same line by
Eustis and Lynehan. Forsyth and
Murray delighted their friends with a
scientific use of the gloves, as did also
Jerry Cahill and Dutch Reynolds.
Slattery and Monahan had a slam-
bang. set-too with honors even.
Cal. McCarthy’s black midgets won a
shower of silver by clever work with
the gloves. Patsey Doody, of New
York, a sport who kept the crowd in
good humor at a big fight in New Or-
leans, told amusing stories between the
meetings. O’Flaherty sang several
new songs, and members of the club
whose names escape us showed scien-
tific and muscular development in the
parts assigned them. The wind 11p was
by Ike Williams and Jack Files and
was a rattler. Mr. Williams is a Nor-
walk favorite. Wm. Sheridan, of
Bridgeport, acted as master Of cere-
monies, and filled the position with
credit to himself and the club. The
Athletics will net about $100.
An adjourned meeting of the Council
was held last evening. . Petition to ex-
tend sewers and sidewalks south on
South Main street to residence of David
Hoyt, referred. The street commis-
sioner reported that Lounsbury, Math-
ewson 8: CO. complained about the
Main street sewer backing up in the
cellar of the building occupied by
Comstock Bros. Had tried to clear the
same but found it impossible, and rec—
ommended that it be relaid, to connect
with Washington street sewer. The
matter was referred to the street com-
missioner with power. The city clerk
was authorized to draw an order for
$200 to be used for work on streets.
The committee on library building re-
ported adversely in the matter of mak-
ing a public hall in the second story of
the library building, andrecommended
that it be leased as now, the city re-
serving for its own use the two front
rooms. The street commissioner was
authorized to expend a sum not in ex-
cess of $3,500 for crushed stone to be
used on the city streets. The commit—
tee on streets was authorized to lay
suitable pipe under Raymond street to
carry water from the north side of said
street to the natural stream on the
south side of the street. It was voted
that a sewer be laid on Bay View ave-
nue from J. I. Dibble’s house, north to
Cedar street, thence to the Chapel
street sewer. The street commissioner
was authorized to advertise for bids for
cleaning catch basins. The annual
city meeting was called for Tuesday
evening next, at Mystic Chain hall on
Washington street, for the purpose of
laying a tax to meet current expenses
of the year, and if deemed best to
authorize the payment of a part or the
whole Of the city’s floating indebted-
ness, and to issue notes, bonds or cer-
tificates in a sum not to exceed $47,000
to defray expense of purchasing pipe,
material and the laying of a water main
from the the lower reservoir to this
city, and to fix a time for the payment
of the same, and a rate of interest, and
other matters proper to be brought be-
fore such meeting. The meeting then
adjourned to the next regular meeting,
April 7th. +

OUR SPECIAL VIEW"
___0 p___
NEW DRESS FABRICS
Was highly complimented Saturday.
than our announcement of it.
The exhibit is so much broader
It seems quite impossible to translate the
beauty of these TEXTILE ART WORKS into words. As a consequence
everybody found more to see than they had expected. One day is far too
short for a thorough inspection of either \Vools or Cottons.
COLORS alone are a study, light tints being most favored. Tans and
Grays shade themselves in more ways than one would think possible.
Natural tints of the wool are given prominence, but flecks or lines of
brilliant color are used effectively among them
PLAIDS take the widest range, beginning with the tiniest Checks and
running up to the broadest Cross Stripes ; variations innumerable, in color
and character.
Our gatherings in PLAIN DRESS GOODS should not be lost sight
Of in this great flood of novelty. They are complete, embracing all the
standard weaves.
A marked feature Of this display is the collection of
ROUGH SURFACE FABRICS. Thlase are Fashion’s favorites, and are
shown in great abundance. Nothing shOrt of sight can convey even an
approximate idea of the fancies which have been brought out in them. ’
BLACK GOODS—yrich, elegant and extensive lines—the finest and
choicest, including complete importations in Henriettas, Serges, Nun’s
Veiling, Batiste, Drap de Alma, etc., etc.
In conclusion we will say there are two values to a purchase, viz , what
it costs and what it is worth.
Cork costs eight cents a pound, but if you
are drowning half a mile from shore its value would be not! what you pay
for cork, but what cork pays you.
SO of tasteful dressers.
Not what you
pay for dress, but what dress pays you, that is the real test.

What would you lilo
——in the way of a corset?
Something that’s easy and
comfortable, with “bones”
that Can’t break or kink, and
soft eyelets that won’t rust or
cut the laces—--something that
Clasps the figure closely, but
yields to every movement?
Then you want the Ball’s
Corset. If you find that you
don’t, after wearing for two
or three weeks, you have
only to return it to us and
get your money back.

The spring Opens with golden
promise. Prevailing taste has given
the artists in clothes great scope and
toleration in design, and free fancy
has produced'much that is original
and unique. Our managers. have
been bold in bringing together. the
best I ‘
products of all reputable
makers. The quantities are large,
the variety of sizes full, and not the
slightest fear has restrained them
from the most pronounced styles.
Hence the assemmbly of garments
you are invited to see to day, includ-
ing everything from a Baby’s Cloak
to a Matron’s Wrap is eminent for
completeness and unsurpassed for
elegance.
