pAwsoN PARK.

Waterbury people held the fort at Pawson Park yesterday, and no one will gainsay their reputation af that for having a good time wherever they go. Some FOO were at the Park altogether, among whom were members and friends of Wadham post, G. A. R., of Waterbury. Games of all kinds, for which the park is famous, were entered into with great vim, and the base ball field in particu- lar, accommodated some 150 players at a time.

 properties and ornamentation. The last is in gold, marble and hue colors. It has gal1aries
 like church and the ceiling is so painted so as to make it appear just ss if you were looking into the skies above. The whole, when illuminated with candles, of which one thousand are used, is sight never to be for- gotten. In order that the King might view the work from the high hills around he built . bridge from one mountain to another, and often sat alone at night looking down upon his creation. should also mention that con- nected with these rooms is dropping stone Rrotto with Q winter garden. In the grotto is waterfall and the illumination by play of col0rs.
 We next visited the forest castle of Linder- hot It is called by German writers wood idyl (Wald Idylle), and is an edifce of but q single story in height, built in the Rococo style, and is surrounded by extensive gar- dens containing many magnificent specimens of art. The gardens are in the stiff French style and contain the busts of Louis XIV. and Louis XV., together with many statues and beautiful fountains. There is 8 superb statue of Venus in Carrara marble, while on the terraces are gigantic lions mounted on pedestals. Upon high lime tree, amidst the branches and leaves at it's very top, is fixed table. This tree is directly opposite the castle, and here Ludwig was used to take his breakfast in the midst of the fragrant
 
 The castle is surrounded by grand water works, the supply of which flows through the bronze veins of Flora and her companion cupids, while close at hand gigantic foun- tain sends stream oyer three hundred feet into the air. Around the basin of the foun- tain are grouped statutes of Day and Night and Venus and Diana. The vestibule of the castle is supported by ten pillars, and the ceiling is adorned by the sun with the motto of the French kings, "Nee Pluribus Impsr." Directly beneath is statue done in marble of Louis XIV on horseback The basement portion of the castla is here again devoted to the servants. On the staircase noticed an immense vase of porcelain, with a painting of Esther, present from Napoleon.
 The first room we entered was the Gobe- Iins room No. l. These Gobelins paintings are most magnificent and represent pastoral life. The furniture is most artistic. The room also contains another statue of Louis KY. md . pianQ. KR tha niueE Toem tha wells

O. O. F., to New York and Coney Island.
 Before the appointed hour to sail, so great were the numbers, ,the gang plank was ordered to be drawn in by the custom officer. Pretty soon the band struck up into stirring strains and the big boat moved of down the harbor with flying flags and happy hearts aboard. Over twelve hundred people sailed with the party and everybody seemed bent to enjoy themselves anyway. A great array of must cal talent was among the excursionists and the hours of the trip made merry as merry could be.
