IN MADISON TO-DAY.

The Memorial EXerclses-The Visit of
 the New Haven Grays.
 Madison has made unusual preparations for the celebration of Decoration day to-day. This town sent very large proportion of it's citizens to the war for the Union. Few if any towns in the country have sent larger percentage, and none sent braver or nobler patriots. The exercises to-day will be of special interest. Bende Westbrook post, G. A. R., and the New Haven Gray whose com mander, Captain Lee, is native of Madison, and whose parents were highly esteemed res- idents, will participate in the exercises. The Grays will arrive there at 11:22 accompanied by the Veteran Grays and the American band The oration of the day will be by Rev. (Gen.) Blakeslse, of Fair Haven. The Grays will be received by the Madison veter- ans, about forty in number, and the Madison drum corps of twenty pieces. The line will be formed under command of Charles Smith, the chief marshal, aided by J. Samuel Scranton and Payson w. Tucker. There will be short street parade through Wall and Boston streets and 8 eountermarch to the depot in time to meet the west bound train which will bring the Westbrook G. A. R. post of fifty members. The line will then move through Wall street and Broad
 way to the Town hall, where a collation. will be served to the visitors. The Town hall has been decorated for the occasion and ta- bles are already set for 200 people. After dinner the line will again be formed and move through Elm street to the cemetery. The Guilford G. R. post will join the pa rade on the way. On the west side of the last resting place of most of Madison's soldier dead the line will be drawn up at parade rest, while the local veterans in two details plant the national emblem and strew flowers upon the graves of their sleeping comrades.

YACHTS AND YACHTING.

Opening Day To-Day of All the Yacht
 CIubs-The New Haven Clubs Sail
 To-Day Ex- Commodore Reecher-
 Local Yachting Notes i'm General.
 To day all the yacht clubs in the United States have what is called in yachting par lance their opening sail, which is simply the first sail of the season as a squadron. The fleet of the local club will start from off the club house at 930 a. m. and proceed to the Thimble Islands, where those that are dis posed will partake. of dinner at the Island View Hotel, returning to the city late in the afternoon.
 Since the opening of the club house it has been customary to raise the colors on the house and on the yachts for the first time in the season about 10 s. nl., and with some ceremony attending, but as no orders have as yet been issued by the commodore no one knows what his plans are. A large crowd has usually attended the opening ceremonies and it is likely that there will be quite num- Der of the friends of the yachtsmen present to see them of.
 A great deal of sympathy is felt for ex- Commodore Beecher, who is again confined to his house by ill health. He was very pop ular commodore and it was the unanimous wish of the club that he would serve another term but he could not be induced to accept 8 reelection. It is expected, however, that his fine cutter, Rajah, will sail today under the command of his friend, E. F. Mansfield.
 The club house is now all cleaned up and in good shape and with the pictures and other fixtures from the club rooms presents better appearance than ever before. The wreck of the old schooner that was burned and sunk in front of the club house last win ter and has threatened to be a dangerous impeachment to navigation has been removed A new flag pole has been erected on the club house and from it will be displayed the weather signals of the United States signal service.
 All of the yachts are now in commission and have been sailing around the harbor for some days. The Stranger, Mr. J: N. McCauley, left with party of fishermen Saturday night for Short Beach. The Marguerite, MT. c. M Peck, has made several short cruises; she was the first yacht in commission this year. The Acme, ex- Commodore Scranton, took out party of ladies from Mrs. Cady's boarding school last week. The Ceres, MT. J. H. Parish, had out number of small parties and the Zephyr, ex-Vice Commodore Dudley, went out on her trial trip Friday.
 Nearly all of the yachts are looking better than usual this year, the members of the club vieing with each other in making their boats look well.
 The commodore, who appoints the feet captain, has not yet sigRi1ed whom. it will be, but will formally make the appointment this morning.

FoREPAUGH's CIRCUS.

Adam Forepaugh's circus will exhibit on the Howard avenue grounds in this city on Wednesday afternoon and evening. For . year past young Adam Forepaugh, only son of the great manager, has been training g sensible horse to perform wonders. He seems gifted with reason as acute as human intelligence. He has been patiently taught to walk a rope stretched full fifteen feet above ground, a twisted cord no bigger than the average mans wrist. Without blindfold he traverses the rope from end to end back ward and forward, pausing to perform peril ous pirouettes and gyrations and to do marches and dances in time to music After accomplishing this amazing series of feats he confidently walks to the ground, and at simple word of command climbs tall ladders round by round, returning in safety and evi- dently satisfied with the wonder he has ere ated. It has hitherto been deemed impossi- ble to teach animals to go through such wonderful performances and Adam Fore paugh, jr., was the first to dispel the delu- sion. His elephant which rides a velocipede and another which puts on the gloves and enters boxing battle with powerful pugi-- list are still greater evidences of the peculiar genius of young Forepaugh.
