 SoUTHINGToN, Sept. 3.-Lookl Oh, Look! See that big thing up there. Oh! Charlie, why, what is ita Don't you knows Why it IS 8 balloon. Such were the remarks over heard by the COURIER correspondent last evening as Prof. Moore with his balloon pass ed over this town as briefly noted in the COURIER yesterday. For about twenty nm utes hundreds of people kept their eyes heav- onward awaiting with no little anxiety to see where and when the thing would drop About 62O the balloon made descent and was lost from the sight of our townspsople. Numer ous were the queries as to where the balloon had landed, but about o'clock they were all dispelled by the news of the arrlval Of J. c. Messenger and the two eronauts, Alfred E. Moore and John G. Doughty. After they had partaken of lunch they were founo at the Bradley House by your correspondent aad the following was gleaned from the hlgnnyefs: We left Winsted at o'clock with our balloon and apparatus and made the ascent very rap idly. The balloon was inflated near the gas works, from which spot we made our start Several persons tried to prevail on us to wait until Thursday, but we made up our minds that pIocrastination was the th1ef or time, so we did not calculate on being robbett
 As soon as the ropes were cut we started on
 our tourney and when about one thousand feet above Winsted we photog1 aphed the spectators and from time until we landed in Kensington on the farm of E. J. Whitehead we took twenty views of the diff ferent towns, lakes, groves and mountains over which we travelled. We made the dis tance of forty miles in one hour and twenty
 minutes. The balloon when inflated stands forty feet high and is seventy-two feet in di- ameter and weighs, with the basket, 50O pounds, and has 8 capacity for 50, ,0OO cubic feet for the reception of gas. The gas used in ascension was common Illuminating gas. The occupants of the basket at the time of making the ascension were my self, Alfred E. Moore, and Mir. John O.. Doughty, son of the leading photographer, and a carrier pigeon, which we let loose when over Bristol. MT. Moore further stated that this was his third ascension and that the 1 balloon, which is his property, is the second one he ever saw, the first being on the Fourth of July last, when he mads an ascension nineteen miles in sixteen minutes. On the 29th of the same month he, in company with Professor Silas M. Brooks, who has made 166 ascensions in his life, made an ascent from Winsted and came very near be- ing killed by the balloon being torn open. Professor Brooks had his body blackened in horrible manner. MT. Moore says that the beauty of riding in balloon is that your course is all the way ''double tracked; no danger of collision up there.'' The balloon was caIted to the depot this morning by 8 man named Carey and was the object of much curiosity.

 An Excellent Dinner and a General
 Good Time.
 The annual picnic given by D. M. Welch & Son, grocers, to their clerks took place at Pawson Park yesterday. This is the fifth year since this enterprising firm adopted the plan of giving their employees day of rest and recreation. Not only the clerks but their families are included in the invitation and yesterday there was general turnout of men, women and children, numbering all told about ninety persons. The entire ex- pense of transportation, music, dinner, &e., is borne by the firm and no deduction from salaries is made for the time lost. Yesterday morning at S:30 the clerks and their families stores took horse cars specially provided fos them at the corner of Chapel and Church streets for Belle dock, where the little steam CT Iyernia was in waiting with the contingent from the Fair Haven branch store and Bun nell's Solid Five drum corps on board. At 9 o'clock the Ivernia steamed away for her destination, the drum corps on the upper deck playing Marching Through Georgia J The sail to the grove was a delightful one and was heartily enjoyed by all on board. On nearing the wharf MT. and Mrs. D, M Welch were found in waiting to receive the company, having driven over from their summer cottage at Short Beach. Soon as all were landed the line was formed and the company marched to the pavilion where they were dismissed until the hour for dinner, which was fixed for 1 o'clock.
 First in order for the amusement of the company was 8 game of base ball between nine from the Birmingham branch store known as the ''Never-Let- Ups'' and a nine from the New Haven store known as the ''Never-Give-Ins," the former being the challenging party.
 The F'Never-Let-U Ups" and their positions were as follows: Capt. H. s. Welch 1b., Burgess c., Johnson D., J. D. Welch 2b., Bradley 3b., Martin S.. s., Cooke l. f., Bow CTS r. f., Hammond c. f.
 Never-Give-Ins, Capt. L. A. Bettcher C., McHattie D., Reynolds 1b., Cunningham 2b., Carroll 3b.. Bills S. s., Briggs 2. f.. Dan iels l. f., Camp c. f.
 The game was very well played for anna teurs. although it was evident from the start that the Never-Let-Ups were the strongest Captain Welch said before the game com menced that he expected to be beaten, but after one or two innings had been played his hopes rose and at the end of the game he was so jrbilant that he could hardly contain him. self Captain Bettcher and his nine took their defeat with good grace and promised to do better next year.

 until the hour for leaving (4:15 p. m.) was passed in various pleasant ways, all seeming I to enjoy themselves. The trip home, how ever, was not so well enjoyed, especially by l some of the ladies and children, as a number of them were a little | seasick. They all, however took matters as good naturedly as possible under the circum- stances. The Ivernia arrived at Belle dock on the return trip about 5:30 in the afternoon. all feeling that they had enjoyed day of much pleasure It will be eleven years next l November since MT. D. M.
