NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE4 1890 WESTPORTI The first race of the Cedar Point Yacht clubover their fifteen mile triangular course near Cedar Point, on Friday last, proved to be one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the club. The entries were chiefly Westport and Nor- walk boats. The prizes sailed for were silver medals displaying on one side the club signal in enamel and the name of the yacht winning it with the date of the race. The yachts lmperia, 42 feet, Dr. H. C. Eno, and the Rival, 38, feet, Treasurer P. G. Sanford, of class C, made a fine exhib- ition of their sailing qualities, and it is doubtful if two yachts of their length can be found their equals on the Sound. The Hebe, owned by Mr. Landon Ketchnm; the Delphine, by Mr. James H. Nash, of Norwalk; Romona, by John H. Jennings, of Greens Farms; the Kate, E. C. Smith, South Norwalk; the Wawa, E. Thorne, Saugatuck; the Cornpo, by Mr. Bradley, of Saugatuck, did their part handsomely. But Mr. E. S. Wheeler, jr.’s, Go Softly, among the cat rigged yachts took the palms and prize in her class. She had been brushed up by her owner in fine shape, and she responded in a light breeze which just sailed her in a way to do Mr. Wheeler and his friends proud. She made the fastest actual time over the course, and for that achievement was presented with a yacht ensign, made last fall by the ladies of Commodore Burritt’s yacht, Teal, who were present and wit- nessed the craft’s fine work. The Go Softly is a representative boat and can always be depended upon in steady, light winds. The judges acting in this race were A. D. Sanford and S. S. Dayton, of Saugatuck, and Francis Leonard, of Nor- walk. There will be two other regattas over the same course during the season. Mr. and Mrs. Leverette H. White, hav- ing returned from their wedding tour spent Memorial Day and Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams. They will pass the summer at Tarrytown, N. Y. A Saugatuck man has adopted the rather novel but very fiiecaeious method of relieving his apple trees of tent worm nests by blowing them off with a shot gun. His worm slaughter thus far has been tremendous. Foundations on Mr. Horace Staples property fora factory in which board for book binders’ use will be made, are corn- plete and a building will rise at once. About .20 men will be employed at the start. Friday, the new Catamaran, with a gay party went down the river, her veteran owner, Mr. C. II. Kemper, being at the helm. ' Mr. Austin Jennings’ achievement of Securing $1,000 an acre for 22 acres of land at Greens Farms for whlch $700 per acre had a short time previous been Offered by a Westport capitalist has served to boom real estate in that burgh to such an extent that nothing can be bought there unless the highest price is plunked down in cash. Mr. Jennings is to be congratu- lated, as he has shown by proof that there is profit in waitingafter one‘s figures are established. The census enumerators began their work Monday. Regular monthly meeting of the Sauga~ tuck Historical society, on Saturday, of this week. Miss Fannie Cannon, who went to the Pacific slope in December last, has re- turned with pleasant stories of her long trip. The exercises of Memorial Day were never more impressively conducted than. on Friday last. Fine weather favored, and there was a unanimity of sentiment among the people to make the day’s events what they should be—memorable. Mc- Donnogh Post, No. 63, G. A. R., had charge of the arrangements.- The public exercrses were held at 3 p. m., in Christ Church cemetery, where the full G. AIR. ritual was performed, and a salute byl veterans fired, the representative grave being that of Francis H. Elwood, of the Seventeenth Regiment, 0. V. Post Com- mander W. E. Albin made a touching address. Besides the 14 soldiers’ graves in the cemetery, a large number of graves of private citizens were decorated, and it should be stated that, in the morning, committees appointed by the G. A. R. visited the graves cf the soldiers of four wars and placed flowers upon them. Pre- vious to and after the ceremonies there was'a street parade by the village fire department, the members of. Compo No. 2, and Pioneer Hook & Ladder with their new machines, and many citizens being in line. The Mutuahdrum corps, of Nor- walk. and the Aruericus drum corps of the same place, supplied music, their fife work being highly artistic and pleasing. Westport apprc iates such performances by such men. Chief of the fire depart— ment John S. Jones, under whose man- agement the parade was conducted, did well, and is entitled to thanks for bringing out so large a representation of the force. Everybody regretted the absence of Vig- ilant company, 0. 3. In the evening at National Hall, Judge A. H. Fenn, of the superior court. delivered one of those eloquent, patriotic and forcible addresses on the subject of the day, for which he has few equals and no superiors. Re- marks were also made by Rev. B. S. Still, of the Methodist church, and Rev. C. C. Ferguson, of Memorial'church, both of whom advanced telling original thoughts. All the churches were filled on Sunday, by peopleiuspired to come forth by the day’s beauty, and the preachers, feeling the inspiration spoke appreciatively. At Memorial church Rev. Mr. Ferguson reached two excellent sermons, Rev. Mr. Backus at the Congregational, Rev. Mr. Still at the Methodist, Rev. Mr. Davies at Greens Farms, and Rev. Father Carroll at Assumption, dilated as if inspired by the beauties of the first day of summer. ‘ ‘PAUL.” Our Bridgeport Letter. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Jennie W. Lent, who was for sev- eralyears the soprano of the choir of the First presbyterian church, and Charles R. Gabriel, now of Brooklyn, son of ex- Aldernran Peter Gabriel, of this city. The ceremony will take place June 3d, at Peekskill, N. Y., the horns of the bride’s mother. Lieut-Col. (frowe, of NorWaIk, made Major Cornell, of the Fourth regiment, this city, a visit on Monday, Griffin 8.: McElroy, pork packers, have their new ice machinery in operation. It works like a charm. There will be no famine in the ice market in this city. An old lady, a Mrs. Booth, 80 years of age, has been employed for many years by the Bridgeport Corset company. She is beloved by everybody in the factory for her kindly and loving disposition. The employes and proprietors look upon this good old woman with veneration. Last week, on her 80th birthday, they pre- sented her with some beautiful presents. A substantial eollaiiou was partaken of and dancing indulged in. Music was fur- nished by the Youngr Men’s Orchestra. This old lady is enjoy ing excellent health, and she works eVer-y day, and thinks she owes her good health to her prudence in living, and the exercise she gets by her daily labor. Rev. B. Fay Mills, the evangelist, paid a visit to the-Hon. P. ’l‘. Barnum, last week. Mr. Barnum was delighted to meet Mr. Mills, and showed him all through his beautiful house"Mariana,”and in one of the rooms Mr. Mills noticed two books on a table. 0n examining them he found them entitled, “Daily Strength for Daily Needs,” and “Manna,” a manual of daily devotion, containing scripture and prayer. He said, “Mr. Barnum, I am rejoiced to find such books in your house. They are beautiful and precious reading, and do you read them ?” Mr. Barnum replied, “I don’t miss a day without read- ing a page in each book.” Mr. Mills had noticed that in turning over the pages, that Mr. Barnum had written on the fly leaf of each book some thoughts of his own which pleased Mr. Mills very much, and asked Mr. Barnum if he would allow him to make some extracts, or “Will you kindly send me a copy of the inscriptions? I can use them in my evangelist work to good advantage.” Mr. Barnum readily replied that he would do so with great pleasure, but he said, -“You know that I am aUniversalist, yet I love such read- lugs, and therefore suppose you (lid not expect to find evidence of Christianity in the house of a Unrversalist.” Mr. Mills replied, “I have many precious friends who are Universalists, and I know them to be earnest Christian men.” A few days after Mr. Barnum sent the books to Mr. Mills, as promised, and Mr. Mills acknow- ledged receipt of the same as follows :— BATII, Me., May 26, 1890. MY DEAR. Mn. BARNUM—I thank you very heartily for the books you sent me, which 1 shall treasure for the inscriptions contained therein. I could hardly say when I have read anything that has pleased me more, and sometime I may be able to use them for the benefit of our fellow men. * ’2‘ * * * * * =9: >i< B. 'r‘AY MILLS. THE INSCRIPTIOXS. The inscription which Mr. Barnum had written in the first named volume was as follows:— “An admirable selection of fine thoughts finely expressed. This book teaches the philosophy of life-nnd death. A daily reading of one page affords com- fort. and food for healthy thought. It is indeed a. ‘Daily Strength for Daily Needs.” I wish every person would daily read in it. I have read a duplicate volume nearly twice through and find renewed hope, faith and strength daily in persuing a page according to date. ” . PHINEAS T. BARNUM. MARISA, Bridgeport, Ct., Oct. 2, 1889. The following is a copy of the inscrip- tion in the other volume:— “I have read the duplicate of “Manna” nearly twice through, taking a page each morning according to date. Its Bible les- sons and prayers afford great consolation to those who desire to love God and prac- tice the Gospel teachings, thus living con- scientious, honest, and as far as possible unselfish lives. The New Testament should mostly be learned by heart. Proverbs— The Psalms—tire Book of Job, as Well as most parts of the Old Testament should be regularly read and understood. I sincerely Wish everybody would read and enjoy the comfort which I derive from these daily readings. PHINEAS T. BARNUM. A bright light was seen last Thursday evening, in the Western part of the town. It proved to be caused by the total destruction by fire of the Congregational church and chapel in Fairfield. The Fair- field Hotel caught several times, but was put out. by the employes of the hotel assisted by the neighbors. The origin of the fire is suppoSed to he spontaneous combustion, as the fire was first seen in the oil room where the Sexton trims his lamps. The loss is about $25,000. In- surance $1,250. They Will rebuild a handsome church immediately on the old site. The corner stone of the burned church was dug out Friday from the ruins. Among the contents were found a. copper box, containing a cepy of the New York Advertiser of 1349, also an almanac of the same year, and the names of the builders and donors. iev. Dr. Hovey’s resignation was ac- cepted at a meeting of the Park Street Congregational church, on last Wednesday evening, to take effect August 1st. Mrs. Charles Beers, wife_ of Charles Beers, formerly of your town, died on Friday last, of neuralgia Of the heart. Her funeral will take place this Monday afternoon, from her late residence, 103 West avenue. The par-den and kirmess to be held in Proctor-’5 Grand Opera House, for one week, commencing June 9th, under the I believe . auspices of the Associated Charities, willl without doubt be a grand success. Nearly every hour in the day is occupied in rehearsing for the national dramas to be represented, among them being the national drama. of Tyrol, Japan, Italy, Venice, Russia, Egypt, Sweeden, France, England, and Hungary. The papers everywhere speak highly of this entertain- ment, and the grand tableaux as being beautiful in the extreme. There are 350 persons engaged In this entertainment. The entertainment will be held every evening next Week with five matinces. It is expected that Norwalk and surrounding towns will be represented. The Memorial Day exercises were sol- emn and impressive. The procession was the largest ever seen in this crty on a similar occasion. Rev. Mr. Thompson’s address was eloquent and aroused much enthusiasm. He was the guest of- the Hon. P. T. Barnum. Bridgeport, June 2, 1890. w. G. L. Wells’ Hair Balsam.
