Fourth of July and the Green.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 You published in Wednesdays paper 8 sensible letter regarding the band stand and poles on the Green. Let me ask if the firing of cannon on the Green is 8 nee sssary evil, or one that the very slow march of improve ment may do away with. Is it right that people who live near the Green are obliged to leave town to avoid this objection; or, if prostrated by illness, remain to suffer?
 Last year an aged lady who was lying sick said that every time the cannon fired her brain seemed to burst. She died the next day.
 On ons occasion when the cannon fired suddenly delicate lady sprang to her feet and fell back fainting. We all know the use of cam ! in cases ot drowning. Can the effect on living people be any less powerful
 Toy cannons in the hands of boys are an. noying and injurious. and if used at any 1 other time would be saeainst the law" al- 1 though Tuesday night an incessant roGr oi | firecrackers disturbed those in the vicinity oi l the colleges.
 ! Why not have the beautiful music ard th& merry procession planned for the Fourtt
 and if a cannon is to be fired let it be from
 East Rock. Even at that distance the sound
 will suggest war and danger, and not liberty
 and peace.
 One Fourth of July brilliant picnic as sembled in Indiana. The s.Glen," the dec oestions, the music were unequaled, and
 delightful day was expected. But cannon
 must be fired to begin the exercises. At th'

Josie won in three straigh. heats, although she the closely pressed by Edith May. The time was 2:46 in each heat. Daisy won the class for named horses.

Costers at the Derby. From the Pall Mall Budget. l

Fashions change among eostermongers as among peers, and Epson Downs at each suc- cessive Derby afford new illustrations of this familiar truth. This years Derby being cold, with little sun and 8 piercing wind, the fla vorits plaything was bright coIored paper sunshade. At night, when what sun there had been had disappeared, cart after cart of costers drove merrily homeward, under very canopy of gaudy paper parasols. The lirty-water squirt was largely out of favor. It was chiefly yielded by smartly dressed girls in broughams and coaches, but there were not half so many as in the previous year. Pea-shootsrs have almost gone out. There were more punchinellos and fewer tiny wooden dolls. The uniformity of the green or blue dust veils was broken by lilac, pink and yellow gauge; but the only striking masquerade in all the motley procession that left the Downs was that assumed by the dri- vers of a brake, whose heads were concealed as they sat on the lofty box by very clever eocks' heads made of colored pasteboard. The bill, wattles, comb, &c., were all there, and the disguise was very effective. But at our English carnival masquerading dresses are not in fashion.
