For instance, the repro- sentations of “The British Mission to M0- rocco,” “Prince Ferdinand in Bulgaria,” “The Expedition of Mr. Cope Whitcliouse and Major Surtci-s in Egypt," enables us to comprehend the mention of these sub- jccts in the daily press, as we otherwise could not do.

The Press of that city devotes considerable space to a criticism of the players and review of we play, in which we find this allusion to the acting of Miss Dyas: Ada Dyas who played “Mrs. Ralston,” managed this piece of immovable acting with wonderful effect. She does not shriek, only calls her husband's name in a whisper. . She gave a painstaking, earnest portrayal, whose sincerity more than whose art was always evident. The affectionate mother, the self-contained woman of society, the refitted head of her beautiful home, the solicitous wife, and later the indignant wife who despised her self, had been deceived for years, but kept her silence and for her children’s sake, was faithfully made to live in her imper- sonation.

The Fat Man’s clambake at Dorlon‘s on Thursday attracted quite a number of lo— cal pleasure seekers, who reported a some— .what dull affair. The attendance of fat. men was small, (numerically considered), and the interest apparently slight. The bake, which was served by Landlord Dorlon, was first—class and abundant. The World sent one of its “bright young men" to rcport'the proceedings, and we crib from his account a few extracts : All did not come, but sundry got there, had on a large wild west mound of clams, lobsters, crabs, bluefisb, green corn, chicken, sweet potatoes, white potatoes and watermelon, it is just as well that business kept a few of the big fellows away. By railroad went the rotund gentlemen as far as South Norwalk, 001111., on the shore of Long Island sound. There they found thick-wlieeled cart-yells with fiery, big, grey Percheron horses, who made no bones of yanking an ordin- ary load of burglar proof bank vaults over a hilly road, but shook their manes in doubt as to whether they could drag the mighty corporation to Dorlon’s Point, fullyamiie and a half away. Some of the largest men sailed over in two-ton sloops, one man per sloop,'and so arrived with fine appetites. Philetus Dorlon was on the Point from early morn. He looks like Gen. Phil Slioridcn and weighs a few hundred pounds more. He biisicd himself all day with a mound of seaweed which covered a heap of fine things to eat, all supeiini- posed upon a basis of clam. At 2:15 o’clock the bake was served. These are some of the men who ate it: A. W. Wallace, the retiring president, a Bridgeport cracker man, whose weight is 269, and who looks exactly like the jolly old Squire in the “Highest Bidder,” and is always happy. Larry R. Kerr, the newly-elected presi- dent, who owns the Putnam House, this city, and weighs 250 pounds. P. Murphy, of Westport, who was elected secretary and treasurer for the sixth time. and who blushed to acknowl- edge $58 surplus. He [weighs only 270 pounds and mourns the loss of eighty pounds of too, too solid flesh. He is so light on his feet that he can easily waltz for an hour. Judge D. B. Lockwood, of Bridgeport, is 6 feet 2 inches high and weighs 315 pounds. A giant among the fat men just as he is an intellectual giant among the lawyers of his state. John Blumm,the Brooklyn Adonis of the club, who weighs 331 pounds, and sports a nine-inch spiked mustache. . T. R. Mills, of Tompkinsville, S. I., who weighs 292, and can run so fast that his friends are going to make him run for sheriff of Richmond county. Last year he beat R. J. Brennan in a 220-yards Sprint, yesterday he distinguished him- self by winning 75 cents from the sweat- board on the. point, and by catching a real, live, red-topped Connecticut mug- wuuip and exhibiting it at the bake. The bird flew away before any one could guess its weight. Charles W. Munson, proprietor of a well-known New York pic foundry, who came with his friend Harry Wallace, who keeps the hotel. Betrrfeen them eight bushels of clams were consumed. The names given above are those of onlyafcw of the most noted men who' unbaked the bake. May’s famous banjo quartctte played fine music, and abstained from Boulanger all through, the meal. There were only 150 fat men on hand this year, while years ago there used to be nearly one thousand. Nobody could ac- count for the sad falling away. The bake next year will probably be earlier in the season. ————-———-00 2nd Conn. E. A. Reunion. The reunion of the 2nd Conn. 11. A. was held at Bridgeport Saturday. The Standard gives the history and parliculars of the rc_ union thus: Twenty-five years ago to-morrow, Sept. 11, the 19 Conn. regiment, infantry, Col. L. W Wessels was mustered into service. The men were wholly from Litchfield county, and they take pride ‘in the fact that when they left home for the seat. of war, they did so on the top of Litchfield Hill. During the year following they were stationed near Washington. In May 1864 they were trans- formed from infantry to an artillery reg- iment and left the Capitol about 1,800 strong, joined the Sixth army corps at Spotsylvauia and remained with that corps till the close of the war, returning to their state with about 700 men. This day therefore marks their quarter of a. century’s existence as a reg- iment, and this reunion celebrates their 2151: anniversary as a veteran organization. At 10:30 a. m. comrades to the number of 160 assembled in the G. A. R. ball. over the ‘Post Office. They were accompanied by their wives and children, making a company of fully 250. After the usual reminiscencosa business meeting was held and officers as follows were elecaed: President, Capt. A. B. Shnmway, of Litchfield; Vice president, W. C. Albin of Westport; Secretary and Historian, D. C. Kilbourn of Litcbfield; Treasurer, C. W. Hinsdale of Litchfield. A committee was appointed to obtain the address of every liv- ing member of the regiment. and report at the next annual reunion. Speeches were made by Comrades Bradstreet, of Thomaston , Albin of Westport, W. E. Disbrow of Bridgeport. Cole of New Haven, Kilbourn of Litchfield, and others. At noon the company boarded the steam- er Jessie B., chartered and adorned es- pecially for the occasion, and took a sail up- on the Sound as far as Middle Ground light. The weather being auspicious, with the sun in part obscured. the trip resulted in much enjoyment. Returning the company were ushered into the dining room of the Atlan- tic House, where one of landlord Foland’s big dinners was served. It is needless to say the discussion of this, after appetites had been sharpened by salt water atmosphere, was hearty and protracted. ' At the proper time speeches were made, and not a few stories of camp life suggested by the occa- sion were narrated. ————<+>———— , Hymeneal. - A very recherche and altogether satis- factory marriagc ceremony was that per- formed by the Rev. Garrett Haulenbeck, uncle of the bride, in the Methodist church Wednesday evening, when Miss Nellie L.‘ Rice was united in marriage to Mr. JeSSe M. Ferris, of South Norwalk. A large number of invited guests and friends of the contracting parties were present, many in full evening dress. Garry Haul- cnbeck gave the bride away, and-the best man was Percy Ferris. At the close of the impressive ceremony the bridal party and invited guests repaired to the resi- dence of the Hon. John H.

Ferris of this city and Miss Eva Corbett of Rowayton, are to be mar- ried Wednesday, 14th “15‘- Talk about painting the Town Red, the supplement to the Record was red, white and blue, but read the most. It is currently reported that Mr. H. A. Mathewson and Miss Mary Elizabeth Knapp, are to be married the 22 inst. In speaking of Representative Ferris, the N. Y. Sim o'inittcd saying, he enjoys a good game of cards to while away the time in his numerous rail road journeys~ But there is no penny ante about it. Electric street lights shed their radiance on the streets and surroundings, when in good order. Last Saturday evening, one on Main street, and one on West street, near Trinity chapel, fell asleep about 8 o’clock, leaving that part of the city with- out radiance. ' , Gov. Foraker of Ohio‘saysé ‘ “No man who served his country in the" hour of trial as the G. A. R, did, should be allow- ed to live or die as a pauper, n'or those who are dependant upon them to want for the comforts of life.” Rev. Mr. Delano in his sermon, Sunday intimated that any professed christian who voted the republican or democratic ticket, “votes a whiskey ticket, and stands shivering before every proposal of the gospel to be a man." Perhaps he knows less about it than he thinks. . A gentleman was in town on Wednesday looking for a boss carpenter. Referring to an advertisement in a local paper, .it informed him that “the office was foot of Franklinlstrcet," where he proceeded, but did not flied his man, and for Want of time made no further search. Such ,kind of advertising does not pay. It has been a wonder, why, during the past week. so many “ten pins" have been stuck into the ground on diamond square by the railroad employees. The Question has not been fully solved, but it is sur- mised that as the city officials have for. hidden the erection of the contemplated wooden switch house, a ten pin‘ ally is to be placed below it. The switch house will be built, all the same. A house being built on Elmwood avenue for Lewis Nash, is probably of. the most novel design of any in this town, and when finished will be very inposing and convenient. Standing on. the highest point of the ridge, which was once owned by his grandfather, D. K. Nash, the view from it of the surrounding country and Long Island Sound, is unsurpasssed. After the meeting of the board of Coun- cilmen on Monday evening, it was re- ported that therehad been expended :on verified, and the tax-payers began to think it was time to calla halt, as no one could imagine where such an amount of work had been placed, but they did know of a number of large cellers being dug for- the dirt. ' Candidates for city offices are accumula- ting. For Mayor, we hear mentioned, C. F. Hallock, Mathew Corbett, and J. J. Millard, by our party, Nelson Taylor, James Golden, Matthew "Davis, and Antonio Accimento, on the other, while the prohibition candidates are to be heard from. All is quiet yet, but‘thc wires and strings are being straightened out for operation the present week. Probably little contest will be made for Collector,- but a new deal will be called for in assess- ors. Political interest is beginning to .show, as the town and city elections approach. As these elections will be the only politi- cal disturbanccs this season, much interest will be manifested in the contest. It is’ asserted that one party have arranged for the nominating convention, and selected him whom they wish tohavc preside at such meeting, and now that he has been notified, he is preparing his neat little speech, on taking the position. It is not' likely that any nomination can be made by either party, to suit the saintly prohi. bitionists. ‘ WESTPORR Local politics promise to be interesting this fall. . The firm of Hawley dz "Lyon has been dissolved. Peach [pui-ties: are less frequent than a fortnight ago. Mr. A. T. Burr, oszyack, N. Y., spent Sunday in tOWn. Mr. Lloyd Nash is laying the foundation for his new ice house. Miss Alice Brown, of Elizabeth, N. J ., is visiting friends in town. ' Mr. John W. Word has returned from a visit to friends in Brewsters. The full term of the Misscleownes’ seminary opened on Monday. We are pleased to be able to state that' Rev. Mr. Still is recovering. A little son of Mr. Edward Grant, of Saugatuck, was buried on Monday. A party of surveyors are encampedjnear the residence of Mr. F. M. Raymond. Rev. David Nash, of Norwalk, preached in the Methodist church last Sunday morn- ing. Rev. Mr. Hyde has returned from his..- vacation, and occupied his pulpit last Sunday. ' . ' - gaged in teaching school in Portland. Oregon, has returned home. Mrs. Moore and family, who have spent the summer 'with Mrs. W. S. Jones, re- turn to New York this week. Mr. John W. Hurlbutt has arrived at the conclusion that the path of a district committee is not strewn with roses. A free show drew a large crowd at Sturges’ Ball on Saturday night. It is a free show or a free feed that will draw a crowd in this town. The funeral of Mrs. John Allen, who died on Friday of last week, was largely ' attended from the Methodist church, at- , Saugatuck, on Sunday afternoOn. Mr. Theodore 'E. King has purchased the homestead of the late Joseph Nash. He purchased a portion of the farm last spring and this gives himthe entire place. The adjourned town meeting was held on Saturday afternoon to hear the select- men’s report, but as they were not pre-' parcd,to report a further adjournment of two weeks was had. A meeting of the stockholders of ' the Westport Land and Building company was held on Saturday afternoon. Al-_ though nothing definite was determined upon it is more than prob able that a con- cern will take the building and will carry on the business there. If that is the case, where will the operatives live? _ Now that the long evenings are with us we think the matter of street lamps should be thought of. Our school committees have cut down the expenses for the pur- pose of economizing; now why not spend a little of the money thus saved in light- ing the streets? If the people are to be brought ‘np in mental darkness they should surely have light of some kind. School matters in the Cross Highway district are in a decided muddle, and the school has. not yet been opened, although it should have. commenced on September 5th. The gentleman who had been en- gaged to teach the school failed to pass the town examination; he then tried the state examination and also failed—the school meantime being held for him. A special meeting has been called for-Thurs- day evening to instruct the committee in regard to having a teacher. that the meeting will be well attended, as there are two parties, each of which has a candidate, and every cfiort will be put forth by each. street work $3,300.
