 The annual State Temperance picnic, held at Fenwick Grove, July 22d, and 23d, proved quite an enjoyable affair-though the showers early in the morning of each day, undoubtedly kept many from attend ing, for the attendance was much small CT than it has ever been previously.
 The trains on the Connecticut Valley railroad carried the guests quite to the grove, which Is about quarter of a mile beyond Fenwick statlon-the last depot on the road. The grounds are nicely ar ranged for picnics. with a covered pa- vilion-for speaking or dancing-bowling ; alleys, croquet grounds, and plenty of patent swings. Near the pavilion was a i dining hall, where meals were furnished on the European plan. and just beyond that another building where "shore din- ners" were furnished for fifty cents. The meeting Tuesday afternoon was conduct ed by the Women's Christian Temper anee Union. and Mrs. NJ. A. Stone, of
 
 tion in this State. presided. The first SFSs.InOI uxn-,. n, York, editor of "The Union. the official organ of the National W. c. T. union. Mrs. Pugh is very appearing and rather pretty looking woman but her voice was not strong enough to be heard half the length of the pavilion, so we could not judge of her ability as speaker.
 Miss Frances Willard, of Chicago. was next introduced. and in her usual eio- quent matter, gave description of the "Home Protection Movement" In Illinois. To those of your readers who have never seen this noted lady, a personal sketch may be interesting. Miss Willard is be- low medium height and slight in figure blonde in style, with quite pretty features. and very pretty hair, which she wears in a simple braided coil. low on the back ol her head. She wears eyeglasses. but wears them so low on her nose, as to pro- duee rather ungraceful effect in her ef- forts to look through them. I do not like to guess ather age, but she is younger look ing than expected. She has pleasant voice. and spoke without seeming effort. She was followed by Mrs. Crum. of For estville, Ga second Advent Preacher), Mrs. Dr. Moody. of Plainville. and Mrs Caroline Buell., of East Hampton.
 In the evening an open committee was held by the Good Templars. Rev. O. J. Range, G. W. c. T.. presiding. The principal speakers were the Rev. J. H. James and Rev. Hugh Montgomery, both of Norwich. Rev. Alphens Winter, oi Hartford, and Rev. A. O. Hurd. of Taft ville Short speeches were listened to from representatives sent by many of the lodges about the State.
 Wednesday morning Rev. MT. Winter presided; after delivered a very fine ad- dress, he introduced Rev. H. Montgom- cry, who spoke in answer to the question, ..How do you manage to enforce the No License Law in Norwich?" His speech would have been interesting to all who an at all who take any interest in the temperance or rum legislation in ouI State.
 | On Wednesday afternoon Rev. l.. D. Chamberlain, of Norwich. gave us very eloquent address-the best have heard for many day.
 l This gentleman is brother of ex-Gov ernor Chamberlain. of South Carolin a and is equally brave in expressing hi' sentiments politically or otherwise. His speech bore strongly upon politics. and il regard to prohibition he took very dif ferent stand from any Of the previous speakers. While he believes in and hopes for prohibition; he does not believe Il or approve of third political party witi this it's main issue. While agree per fectly with him in all his views there ad- E yanced. dare not judge of the expedi ency of such speech before sucn an au' dience as was there assembled.
 II was reminded of an excellent sermon IT heard MT. Chamberlain deliver on'
