Annual Melon Party at Oriental Park
 -Anothef Walking Match at the
 Shore.
 The cottager son Oriental Park held their annual melon party last Wednesday evening on Oriental Pier, which was brilliantly illu- minated for the occasion.

G. Blaine and said that he stood
 sef-convicted for acts that he had
 done. He then drew comparison between
 the Republican and Democratic conventions
 and said that Mr. Cleveland was nominated
 as reformer, and on this basis he would be
 elected.
 Sylvanus Butler was next introduced and
 made brief speech in favor of the election
 of Grover Cleveland. He thought it was
 time there was change and a halt.
 5. Harrison Wagner was introduced and
 commenced by addressing the crowd as fel- low citizens, fellow Democrats and fellow postmasters
 A voice at this time from the crowd: ''Are you Democrats'
 Wagner proceeded, making an argument in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks. He talked about purity in politics. He did not believe the people were going to be cajoled into voting for James G. Blaine in all his reeking corruption, but he believed the people would rise in their might and wipe out the Republican party. We want change and a new deal. The people believe in honest government and
 believe they have resolved to elect Grover Cleveland on the 4th of next November On the conclusion of MT. Wagner's speech l the chairman called for three cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks and they were faintly given after which the "grand" rally 1 came to an end. It was certainly the weak est exhibition of enthusiasm over presidential ] nominees ever seen in this city. Should the Republicans or even the Greenbackers or Prohibitionists make such an attempt at dis play and sadly fail they ought to retire from the field.

 the former trips by the lowering weather.
 The others were the members and friends of
 four organizations who had made arrange
 ments for a trip yesterday. The party was the largest of the season.
 Washington camp, P. O. s. of A., with their friends turned out 15O strong. New Havens popular young Hebrew soci- ety, K. o. J., with their friends added 25O to the party.

 The steamer makes two trips more this 1 season.
 After the steamer started, just grazing the
 wharf in leaving, young lady, with her satchel and shawl on her arm, jumped on board from the wharf safely. The trip was a delightful one. Hardly ripple could be
 seen on the water in going and only the
 waves raised by pleasant breeze in return ing. At the island all was delightful, every thing one and all could wish for. The ta- 1 bles, the music, the bathing, the groves, the | halls of entertainment, thes towers, rinks, the flower and geological gardens were all en- joyed at their best. The steamer arrived at
 the island about one o'clock and left at 3:30
 p. m. Dancing, singing, with and without
 piano accompaniment, all the way, enlivened the trip. Although other large parties from New York and neighborhood were on the grounds, there was abundant room for as
 many more beside. The bathing accommo-
 dations are most ample and pleasant A
 band of music led the long procession of
 passengers up the wharves and into the city
 on their leaving the steamer

He passed the quarter pole at 3315 seconds, the half in 1:0714, the third quarter in Al and came down the stretch without skip. A shout went up when the stop watches showed 2:15 for the mile, and as that time was announced there was much cheering. MT. Cohnfeld smilingly received the applause of the multitude and raised his hat gracefully. He owns Helene and several other fast horses. The sulky drawn by Maxey Cobb weighed 50 pounds Madame Marantette ran her horse skiIlfully alongside of Cobbs sulky and at no time during the heat went ahead.

 John Hardy, of Chester, very mysteriously disappeared from that place on the evening of the 18th of April, 1883. He went to the adjoining town of Deep River, and attended 8 session of Webb ledge, I. o. o. F., and was last seen in their lodge room. Every effort was put forth by his friends and the fraternity of Odd Fellows to discover his whereabouts Che having been thoroughly ad- vertised throughout the State), but without success. From that time till about a week ago, no tidings of the wanderer had been re eeived. He then wrote letter to his old employers, w. N. Clark & Son of Chester, from Missouri, soliciting his old position, which favor was granted him, as he was very valuable man to the firm, and possessed much ingenuity He returned last week. On being questioned as to his mysterious dis appearance, he stated that he had an irresis- tible desire to go away, and he succeeded admirably, as he first visited New York, then San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands, and finally settled down in Missouri, from which place word was received from him.

THE PEACH INTEREST. About Ef9hteen Hundred Baskets a
 nav For New Haven,


 The daily peach train through this city leaves two or three carloads here each day equal to ,50O or 1,6O0 baskets. The peaches now arriving are superior in quality. They are mostly Crawfords, and come from Della ware. The rest are mainly of the Old Nixon variety, and are inferior to the Crawfords in quality and price. The price of choice peaches is from twenty-five to fifty per cent. higher than the ordinary run of peaches which filed the markets last week, and the latter class of peaches sell from fifty to seven ty-fve per cent. higher than last weeks prices. The Jersey peaches are yet to come in. The peach season lasts from i've to six weeks yet, and the demand for fine peaches for canning and preserving will largely ab- sorb the supply. The best Crawford peaches are now who1esaling here from s1 to s1.50 per basket.
