 I As on several previous occasions, Edi- tor May printed his Sun in the colors of the old flag, last week, while the Post is sued tiny sheet, l-2x11 1-2 inches, less than one-ninth the size of the ordi- nary papers. Although condensed so greatly, everything was distinct and the ! smallest type could be easily read. These were run through press in the parade and distributed. The Daily Advertiser also had cylinder press and full corps of men, writing, printing and distribut- ing a program of the day's exercises. The Standards illustrated supplement was a neat and attractive production. The heading, border and center piece of the first page were drawn by Frank w. Roland and contained views of public buildinSs, the celebration, parks, etc., with the days program. The second page had portraits and short sketches of Hon F. T. Barnum, ". B. Hall, Dr I. DeVer Warner, Hon c. Zones, J. w.. Beardsley, Hon J. D. Candee, H. R. Par rott, Mayor F. Coughlin, D. M. Read, Hon N. Wheeler, James Staples.

 There is but little doubt that the 'Cyc
 list division in the grand parade was it
 most unique, if not it's most interestin: i portion. It was a sight never befor'
 witnessed in Bridgeport. The assemble' s5,000 people along the line of marcl
 showed approval by constant and sin

 showy uniforms. Their appearance Wa
 marred, however, by the poor lining u . of few of the members at times. Tn

Every other organization excel :, this had men fall from their wheels du ing the parade. Mir and Mrs Irving .
