THE GREAT BARNUM SHOW.

- On Thursday of this week the great Bar
 mum and London shows combined will ex-
 hibit in this city, afternoon and evening
 That an immense crowd will pay their re spects to Jumbo and the baby elephant
 Bridgeport there can be no doubt, to say nothing of the other innumerable attractions. The New York Wor5d says of the great show: ''The greatest show on earth is, among other things, the most bewildering. To write about it is very like undertaking to report upon the changes of a kaleidoscope after regarding the same for half an hour. Last night the enormous place was packed and the audience was thoroughly delighted, although somewhat distracted by the strain of trying not to lose any of the points of any one of the three performances which were going on at once. There was space of sweet peace when Mir. Barnum came on, and the audi ence was left at liberty to concentrate it's at- tention upon him and his brief remarks
 There was another when the Expresses of the Arena and the Wizards of the Air and the Iron men gave way to the lugubrious and de- lghtful clown, who performed pantomime of fishing and bathing with sad sincerity wonderful to see."

Nothing was done except to compare views and inspect the locality A chart of the crossing had been prepared showing the exact height of 8 bridge and the grade of it's approaches in case it should final ly be found necessary to build one. The grade need not be any greater than that now on Church hill and if it should be as steep as it is on the hill from Prospect street to Sherland avenue it would leave the sidew ak on the west side of Center street just about as it now is, or at the most not raise it more than from 8 foot to a foot and half.

The New ArmOry.

Negotiations Concluded Yssterday-A Lot
 on Meadow Street Bought-A Boom for
 the Military Interests of the State and
 City.
 Yesterday the legislative commissioners upon the purchase of 8 site for military armory in this city concluded negotiations for the Hooker property on Meadow street and v feet of the Nelson Adams property in the rear, making lot with 8 frontage of Ill feet and depth of PIT feet. The lot pur-
 chased sets back into triangular piece of
 ground. The rear of it does not touch either
 George or Whiting streets, but it is probable
 that there will be obtained rear entrance to
 it from the latter. The price paid for both
 pieces of property was $17,8O
 The Hooker property was long the proper ty of the late Prof. Warrington Hooker, of Yale Medical College The house in which l deceased lived, an old landmark, will soon be 1 removed or taken down. The armory will
 have front of 100 feet and depth of about 24O. The commissioners arrived at this re- suit after pretty general inspection of vari- l ous pieces of property, and gave the subject their thorough attention. The erection of
 the new armory will probably begin in a few ! weeks. In it will be located the Grays, Blues, Sarsfelds, Light Guard, City Guard, and the Governors Foot and Horse Guards. It will be handsome building
 There will be fine large drill room in the | armory. It will be from 175 feet to 200 feet
 one way, and 80 or 100 feet in width. AS the city is growing it is intended to have ex- tra company rooms, or ten in all, as to be prepared for emergencies. Beside the com pany rooms there will be headquarters, l room for the colonel and field and staff off cers of the regiment, room for the adju- l tant, and probably room for the meetings of the board of officers also wash rooms and uniform room. There will also be a l room for the band and one for the drum corps. There will be room for squad drills The building will be heated by steam. It will be three story building at both ends, but only one story for the big drill room. 4
 rife range is talked of Altogether the new armory will be a credit to New Haven and to the State. Economy will be used in it's cree ! tion, but it will be a not unpretentious build- ! ing, and in its erection the best information on the subject of armories in the country will be made good use of.
