FROM CONNECTICUT.

HARTFORD, COnn., OcI. D, 1901.
Iwo1ld not be greatly surprised if these presents
were to be inserted in your columns, with the pre-
fix, in small type, From = semi-occssioul cor
respondent But when explain to you the rea-
son why have not punctuslly transmitted to you
intelligence Of the numerous events of note and
moment which have been constantly transpiring in
this city during the thre, weeks last past you will,
trust, accept my explanation, and pardon my
se. mDR neglect. The fact is that, for the period
mentioned, have been most of the time absent
from Hartford, and so, not having been spectator
of the stirring occurrences aforesaid, i am not
well qualified 10 descIibe them.
Soon cfier sebt my last epistle went to Boz
top and there scjourned for the space OF several
day.. happened to be there when the twin Gard
ner Conventions were holden, ON the same day, and
actually encountered the procession of Gardneran
FipmouIntrs during their traneit from Chapman
Hall 10 Mu,ic Hall. 1t was spectacle calculated
~ induce reflection, and ! witnessed 1t, l assure
you, with emotions will not attempt to describe.
}Cu ought 10 have seen the man who carried the
flag at The head of the column BE looked as if he

Was expressive of stern determination as he waved
the banner Of his country above 8 head. 1t was a
veIy pretty sight but rather too touching One
evening during my stay III the City Of Notions di1
ihht which good many of our deacOnish Hartford
merchants are wont to do when they go where there
10 a ct ance 10 do it; that is to say, 1 went TO me
,beattr, and saw Edwin Booths first appearance on
h Boston stage. he played Sir Giles Overredcn,
and did il we'll He did not talk through his nose
20 much as he cid when saw him last Spring at
Buricn's, and bas evidently profted by hunt re-

they do things quietly in Boston, and Their biggest

can well be Olherwlsf. IL taxes IAree sou1u 10
make much of 4 noise in il. Friends IN the back

ne edited greatly by what the actors say upon the
Stage Except this fault the Boston Iheacr is
YER, comfortable institution. There is SAVIOR OF
lLe old Tr. mont about it which greatly relish and
sdmire Everything, az | have remarked, is quiet
oroerly penteel aud respectable. Ii is like mag
ulfed Walsck's. Mr. Barry is an excellent man
ager, and snows, from long experience Just what
the public taste and opinion Of Boston demands
md governs himself accordingly in test-
mony whereof | will adduce the circum-
stance ibat, instead OF being taken in
and deceived by the wor1y declarations of the Bos-
ton FOLKS concerning their belief in the equality ri the
African " ith the European race, he, the said Barry
a,yertss that box III the third tier is set apart for
the use of people of color, and that they will not be
ceru tilted To o.. in any other part of the house.
Unless tnge of black blood gives extraordinary
scutene,s to the sepses the cOored thester in
Boston might ss we'll sit in the Old South bery as
in the box provided for their accommodation, SO far
AS hearing the play is concerned But that is Of no
consequebce. The white folks are protected from
c, p,sniDaii, n, and the others must hear well as
The, can. The manager Of the Howard Atheneum
also adyertises III the papers tna cOlored people
admitted TO the gallery of that institution only.
Now il will not DO IL say that these mana gers are not
posted up in Boston notions. Mr.. Barry knows the
D. ope OF that ilk tie sayn is from knuckle 70
thumb. Nor is is sufficient Ia Set up The fact that
