For many years the people of New
Haven have been in want of some place
besides the church of suitable size in
which to hold public entertainment.
The old town hall, half filed with un-
couth benches, has long been used and
misused for public meetings and such
one-horse entertainments as couldIbe
deluded within its grimy walls. But

people of New Haven, for the founda-
tons of an addition of twenty-six feet
to the rear of the town hall have been
laid. The building is to be finished this
summer. The lower part is to be used
for town clerks office, while the adj |
dition to the hall, with new furniture,
will convert the old room into a hall, |
not quite eqnal to the Hotel de Vile of
Paris, perhaps, but yet large enough |
and good enough for any such public |
entertainment as New Haven people |
could expect TO see in their own town.
