A very pleasant impromptu affair occurred at the United States Hotel in Hartford on Thursday evening. After the adjournment of the Legislature in the afternoon the friends of Speaker Pine came together by accident, as it were, and suggestion was made that the genial Speaker should be given some re- hinder of the end of the session and of pleas ant relations of the members with him. The proposition was enthusiastically taken up, and in less time than it takes to write it, sufh- cient money was received to purchase splen- did gold headed cane. The Speaker was sought and was invited to meet a party of friends at the United States Hotel. About fifty were present. Representative Brown, of Norwich, was chosen chairman, and in a very clever speech presented the cane. The Speaker responded in neat off-hand speech, and then followed a short season of social pleasantly, with interesting "reminiscences of the session

An Excursion at 40 Miles an Hour;


 The Newburg Journal says: By invita- ton of General Wilson, the president of the New York and New England railroad, the Commercial association of Providence will make an excursion to this city by the above road on May 14th. The Commercial associa- tion comprises the leading business men of Providence. It is reported that it came to the ears of General Wilson that the business men of Providence had said that the New England road t'couldn't do this and they couldn't do that,' and General Wilson went to Providence and addressed the members of the association regarding the facilities and advantages of his road, and then and there invited the members of the association to take a ride over the road to Newburg and see for themselves what the road could do. Ac- cordingly these gentlemen will make up a large party to come here on the 14th and take 8 sail down the river on the ferryboat William T. Hart. The superintendents of divisions have been ordered to have the track cleared for the special train, as General Will son has promised to make the run from Providence to Fishkill, distance of 19o miles, in four hours and forty-f1ve minutes, which is at the rate of forty miles an hour. The special train will reach Fishki1l about 1 o'clock on the 14th and after three hours sail will set out on the return"

 Spectacle on Long Island Sound.
 The dense fog on the Sound Thursday night delayed the steamboats The Elm City started at the usual time from New York and spent the night at Hunters Point, arriving yesterday at about 12:3O, and the J. B. Schuyler of the Starin line arrived yesterday afternoon at 2:3O.
 There was dense mist on the Sound Thurs day afternoon, and the fog bells and Steam boat whistles were kept going. The mist lifted considerably for time at about three o'clock p. m. Thursday, and large expanse of the Sound was clear. Fragmentary DOT tions, however, remained in view. They were far of toward Long Island as seen from West Haven shore, and pre- sented singular effect which caused considerable comment among people who witnessed it. The appearance presented was that of many vessels apparently station ary with sails up as if becalmed Many per sons were thereby led into error, supposing that the scene presented was that of many vessels beealmed, the spectators only being convinced of the illusion on beholding the supposed sails and vessels melt away into empty air as atmospheric changes occurred Earlier in the afternoon when the mist was lifting long dark line appeared to view in the direction of Long Island which many mistook for Long Island shore and many were the ejaculations of surprise from persons to the effect that they never saw Long Island so clearly and distinctly. This impression faded away with the fading away of the mist line which had taken on it's hue from the suns rays.
 The steamer Granite State was sdeIayed Thursday night by the heavy fog on the Sound. The pilots of the Granite State were on this trip unable to see much of anything from the time they left New York Thursday afternoon until the steamer arrived at Say brook yesterday morning

A Famous Lady.

Among the equestriennes now travelling with Forepaugh's great circus is the famous Lizzie Deacon, the young lady whose beauty, grace, daring and eventful history attracted the attention of Elizabeth, Queen of Austria. The valuable horses, diamonds and dresses presented by the queen to the fair equestri- enne and the open display of friendship manifested attracted universal attention and caused immense crowds to assemble where ever she appeared in public. She is attract ing just as much attention in this country, judging by the articles which have been pub lshed about her. When Forepaugh arrives here May 17th the public will have an oppor- tunity of passing their own judgment upon the merits which have won her the friend ship of so many distinguished people.

Board of Education.

The Improvements in the High School BuiIdins-What Is Proposed in Other Buildings.
 meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch (presiding), Zunder, Harrison, Peck, O 'Brien, Plunkett, Parmelee and Strong.
 Mr. Zunder stated that Superintendent Dutton was absent during vacation visiting schools in Oswego and other places
 MT. zunder also reported that arrange ments had been made to fit up rooms in the basement of the High school building for school purposes. He said that owing to the large number of scholars that are to enter the High school the next term it would be neces- sary to fit up another room and the furni- ture had been ordered. He said that out of 296 applicants POP had passed examination.
 MT. Harrison, from the Committee on Schools, said that it appeared to the Con- mittee on Schools that the awarding of High school diplomas had become rather lax or loose in the manner of distribution. He said that scholars sometimes left In the junior year and went to some other school or college and then came back and received their diplomas. He submitted an amend ment to the rules as follows: Diplomas will be given at the close of the senior year to those members of the senior class who have passed satisfactory examination upon all the studies of the year and to such other members of the class as shall have pursued 8 course of study during the year at the Shef- field Scientific school, and have maintained 8 satisfactory standard of scholarship"
 The amendment went over until the next meeting under the rule.
 Architect Robinson submitted plans for en- larging the Edwards street school building so as to make it an eight room building. The matter was referred to the Committee on School Buildings to advertise for bids.
 The Board voted to raise the lot on which the new training school is to be erected, cor ner of Congress avenue and Vernon street, about one foot. This will necessitate an ad- ditional expenditure of about $35O for gran ite coping, but will add much to the appear ance of the building.
 It was stated that the schools would open on Monday next and notwithstanding the opening of the new Orchard street school, there would probably be from two hundred to three hundred scholars in the city that could not be provided for.
