Arrival of DeIegates-Opening Day To-
 Day-The Large Tents Back Of the Carl1
 Opera HOuse-Grend Banquet To-A1Or-
 row Evening.
 Quite a large number of prominent car- riage manufacturers have already arrived in the city to attend the annual convention of the carriage manufacturers which opens to- day. CarlTs Opera House is engaged for two days for the affair. Back of the opera house on the open space to the right are two large canvas pavillions where samples of articles used in making carriages will be displayed. Yesterday afternoon quite number of gen. tlemen were present arranging their respect i've displays, among which were full line of gay looking sleigh bells of different designs and saddlery hardware by the Chapman Man ufacturing company of Meriden, Conn; 8 display of coach hardware specislties by the ScholIhorn $ Tiesing Manufacturing compa- ny of New Haven a display of carriage hardware by O. Cowles & Co.,, New Haven; 8 display of varnishes by 0. Schrack & Co.,, of Philadelphia, and other shows not yet labelled or ticketed and not yet ready for the public eye. Mayor Lewis visited the grounds and was shown the display by Mir. Carll and Mir. Frank H. Hooker, secretary of the associa- tion, arrived soon after with body of noted carriage manufacturers, whom he escorted about the opera house and among the tents Inside the opera house back of the stage were quite large'erray of boxed goods for the display, pointing to one of which Mar shaI CarlI said there was $1, ,6OO worth of property inside. Near by were the trunks of sone of the lady members of the Rice Sur prise Party, and some of the young lady mem bers of the company experimenting the un- packing for the evening display. The session of the convention opens this morning at 10 o'clock and there will be various business meetings, when affairs of importance will be discussed. New Haven is well entitled to be the scene of the convention, from her impor- tance as carriage manufacturing city. The value of the carriage makers product for 1880 was $10s, 638, sos. New Haven then had thirty nine carriage factories and her goods, which for years have been foremost in the market, were found, as now, in all parts of the world. The New Haven car- riages are conceded to be among the best. The value of the Elm City's output in car- riage manufacture in 1880 was about S3 ,OO0,- 900 in round figures, and some 2,O0O hands were employed.
 The growth of the business is shown by the following figures
