Picnic Pleasure Trips.

Pleasant Excursions to Various Resorts
 About New Haven Yesterday.
 Savin Rock and vicinity was visited yester- day by one of the largest crowds of the sea- son, on the occasion of the annual parish picnic of St. MarS's church of this city. By horse cars and private conveyances the peo- pie focked down there all day long. The children of the Sunday school were present in large numbers and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Members of the other Catholic churches were also present, and nearly all the local priests visited the shore while the picnic was in progress. At Skeeles' grove on the rock most of the crowd was gathered, and roller skating, dancing, swinging, bathing and other amusements occupied the company until late last evening.
 The First Baptist church Sunday school picnic occurred yesterday at High Rock Grove. A special train left the Derby depot at 9:30 8. m., carrying eight carloads of people. Two cars were filled with members of Mason Rogers post G. A. R., of Bran ford, and their friends who visited the grove for pleasure. The special train returned about last evening.
 About 800 persons went to Glen Island yesterday on the steamer John H. Starin. Of this number about 300 were friends of Moses Mendelssohn lodge No. 16, O. K. s. B., whose annual excursion occurred yes- terday. The committee who had charge of the arrangements for this organization were M So4wed, E. M. Cans, Joseph Kaiser, D. Machol. N. Kohn and s. Cohn. The other organization which also gave it's excursion on the Starin yesterday was Court Columbia, A. O. F. There were 150 or 200 of this organ ization and their friends on the boat. The whole party made up as pleasant crowd of excursionists as have gone to Glen Island from this city so far this season.
 few minutes after 8 o'clock yesterday morning a special train of nine left the new depot having on board members of the Wilkins Guard and their friends, bound for Congamond Lakes, where the Guard went on their an- nusl excursion. Because of the early start of the train, which was neeessitated in order to give the excursionists plenty of time at the beautiful lakes, a number did not catch the train. The party had with them an orchestra to furnish music for dancing. The return was made about o'clock last evening. The train stopped st Webster street, where many got off, and then dis charged the rest of the excursionists at the depot. They report 8 good time.

Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church.
 The following article taken from the Cot tage City Star of Msrtha's Vineyard, of July 14th, will be found of interest to our read CTS: "This beautiful edi6ce will be opened for divine service tomorrow. In addition to very full accounts published in the Star as the various stages in it's erection have been reached, we are glad to note the finishing touches as it approaches readiness to be oc cupied. The ways leading to it's entrances have been well concerted by Perkins & Sta ples, of New Bedford The paths have been neatly bordered with turf, and the whole plot carefully graded by MT. McGrath and sown for turf. The building has just been painted within. The ceiling is in shades of green, the floor, maroon. The waiuscot- ing and furniture entire are of California red wood in it's natural hue. The excellent designs for pews, stalls and chaneeI and altar rails were by Robert H. Slack, of Boston, and have been faithfully executed by Wash burn & Brightman, New Bedford Hand some claret-colored ingrains cover the six aisles and robing room and an abundance of hassocks are conveniently placed in the pews. fine Peloubet, PeIloe $ Go. standard organ has been provided through the generosity of Colonel D. P. Slat- tery of St. Louis. Magnificent copies of the Holy BiEle and prayer book bearing the fol- lowing inscriptions: "Presented to Trinity church, Cottage City, by Rev. ". F. Mor- gan, D.

In Stratford yesterday afternoon the fun eral of Mir. William M. Thompson took place and was largely attended from the M. E. church, of which he has been a member and officer during the last fifteen years. Rev. T. J. Watt officiated at the services, assisted by Rev. s. A. Seaman, the former pastor. The exercises were unusually impressive, the many virtues of the deceased and his excel lent reputation for integrity and true Chris tian purpose being dwelt upon but not over drawn. An affecting scene was that of six brothers sadly bearing the remains of their loved one to their last resting place in the Union cemetery. The deceased leaves 8 wife to whom he has been married two years. With his brother Frederick he had carried on the grocery and baking business since the fathers death in 1876.

PACIFIC LAND.GRANTS.
Letter from Representative Dunn in
Regard 10 His Protest.


WASHINGTON, September 5.-Represent-
ative Dunn has addressed to the Secretary
OF the Interior a communication reciting
the protest made by Gen. Rosecrans,
Representative Cobb and himself against
any action on the part of the department
looking to the issuance to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company of certificate
for the land-grants of the Texas Pacific
railroad, and against the filing OF any
mortgage by the New Orleans Pacific Rail
road Company on the lands claimed by it
as the assignees of the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Nicksburg Railroad Company,
as a basis for the issue of land-2 grant bonds.
Mr. Dunn saws: "My attention is now
again called to the statement in the press
dispatches of recent date to the effect
that one Sypher, a person unknown to me,
has, in letter to the Secretary of the In
terror, urged him to act favorably on the
respective claims of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company and the New Orleans
Pacific Railroad Company, to respect the
land-grants that they are seeking to acquire
by virtue Of the said pretended assign
| ment, and against which action said pro-
test were made, and that he assigns as
one of the reasons for such favorable
action the statement that said protest had
been withdrawn. sThe acting Secretary Of
| the Interior was verbally notified late in
| June that no power or authority was con-
| ferred upon any person whomsoever to do
or perform any act whatever in connec-
| ton with the said protest, or the matters
to which they are related, for us or in our
names" Mr.. Dunn also repudiates any
action that lay have been taken by L. NJ.
Hill in the matter. Sypher's application
for the appointment OF a commission to
examine the completed section of the
Southern Pacific railroad was made some
time ago. Acting-Sscretary Joslyn re-
fused to act upon it, and Sypher forwarded
his application to Secretary Teller, who
promptly returned it, with the indorse-
ment that no commission should be ap-

CINCINNATI EXPOSITION.
Opening Exercises In Music Hau-Rex
and Cincinnatus.

CINCINNATI, September 5.-In all the
history OF industrial expositions in Gin
cinnati, the one which opened to-day gave
its first days visitors the most nearly com
pleted exhibit. Hitherto early visitors
have been treated TO practical industrial
exhibits of carpenter-work, and the noise
OF hammers have been deafening To-day
the tardy exhibitors are exceptional This
condition is compliment to the energy of
the Board OF Commissioners. The opening
exercises were delayed till o'clock on ac-
count of the procession. \ throne had
been erected on an elevated platform
thirty-six feet square in front of the great
organ in Music Hall. There Rex and Gin
cinnatus were seated. supported by their
respective households. The costuming
was striking and the spectacle brilliant,
Its dignity, however, was marred by
the failure OF some of the Romans to
preserve the Roman bearing. Mayor
Stephens introduced to their maies-
ties the Hon. J. 7. Follet, who made
an address to the throne, and he was fol-
lowed by Capt w. w. Peabody, president
of the Board of Exposition Commissions
ers- Both speakers preserved the illusion
of addressing the monarchs, and responses
were made on behalf of "Rex'' by his
Lord High Chamberlain" and of s'Cin-
cinnatus" by his first hector. The scene end
ed with courtly procession, led by Presi-
dent Peabody, and closing with REX" and
'Cincinnatus." Music Hall was crowded
during these ceremonies. The Exposition
contains greater varieties of exhibits than
last year, and many noy6ltiesr, Hor-
| ticultural Hall is especially delightful The

usual and presents Wider variety OF MA.

morrow night the great pageant of the
Order OF the Cincinnatus, consisting OF

illustrative of ancient Roman history,

MARY ANDERSON.
The American Actrcss-s Appearance at
the London Lyceum.


New York, September 3.-A London
special SAYS that the morning papers have
elaborate criticisms on Miss Anderson's
appearance at the Lyceum. The most Of
them seem to initiate the Chinese by play
ING a waiting game. They do not like the
play of Ia1o,ndr, which is poor version
Of the sterling German romantic drama,
and evidently feel at loss because they
cannot compare Miss Anderson with every
English actress The universal verdict is,
however, "a phenomenal success, even
though a portion OF this the Tunes at
tributes first to curiosity; second, to lrv-
ing's presentation of the actress 10 the
public, and thirdly,to Englis h hospitality.
The Times thinks that Miss Anderson has
vast talents, but lacks genius. The Ddltg
NeUs sits on the fence with his brother OF
the Times Mr.. Sims, dramatist and critic
of the Referee, and the critic OF the Sfand-
ard, both say what they have to say
briefly.
The latter saws: "All we can do at
present is to chronicle Miss Anderson S
complete success, the recalls being. so
numerous as to defy particularization."
Sims says that "the puise OF the house
was stirred in favor OF the American artist
was increasingly evident She came. was
seen and conquered. Very few, II any, oi
the actresses OF our OWL HtoOh NOulu ~
through such an artificial part with the
same delightful naturalness."
Clement Scott, of the Telegraph, thinks
she was heavily handicapped blythe choice
OF the play, but admits there must clearly
be something in an actress who can not
only hold her own as 'Parthenia, but in
addition dissipate the dullness OF lingo
mar.'" AS for her beauty, he thinks she
IS more Venus by Mr.. Gibson than {
Venus by Milo, classic-draped figure of {
Wedgewood plaque more than an echo
from Parthenon. He thinks her grea
fault in acting is insincerity and inability u
prasp the sympathies Of the thoughtful par
OF her audience, and that her "Peplum
