 crease in.the Number OfEmPIoyes.
 Although New Haven isn't rapidly multi plying the number of her manufactories to any remarkable extent, it is yearly and stead fly increasing in manufacturing importance through notable additions made to manufac- tories already established within her borders. Every year some one or more of our noted manufactories builds large addition or ma- tertally increases it's force of workmen owing to increase of business. case for instance in point is that of the Winchester Arms O.. which about every year for eight or ten years past has built large addition to it's works in one or other of it's various departments for it's gun stock supply and wood drying department, requiring a quarter of 8 million of brick to make it, beside other additions. So of the New Haven Manufacturing Go. on Whitney avenue. This concern is doing Q large business. It's business has nearly doubled in the last ten years, and during of importance to its buildings, additions which are not noticeable from the street, be- ing inside buildings. The concern has inst erected a new addition on Audubon street, leaving the first story open for driveway and for covering from the storms for the platform scales, while upstairs is fine de- partment for the pattern making.
 So also Peck Brothers 6 Co., manufacturers of brass goods, have built a big four-story addition to their premises in the past year and increased their large force of hands
 The B. Shoninger Piano and Organ com pany is another instance of 8 constant and re- markable increase of business. It's business has increased to such an extent that it is now making 1,500 pianos @ year and from 5000 to 4, 900 organs yearly and has nearly doubled it's force of employees in the last five years. It has added forty men to its force in the last five months, all of whom came to the shop from the best piano sheps in New York, as they find that they can live and support their families more cheaply in New Haven than in New York, at the same time getting pleasanter rents and more room for less money than in the crowded metropo- lis, to say nothing of the improvement to the health of their wives and children in living in city like New Haven as compared with crowded and pent up Gotham. The firm has now 300 employed. ali skilled work men, and the pay roll amounts to about quarter of a million dollars a year. While one organ and piano concern in Anso- mia has cut down the pay of it's help ten per cent. this shop pays as usual. The concern is just about to put in 250~horse-power en- zine with 300. horsepower boilers, more steam power being required for the increased amount of machinery in use and to be added. The engines are being made by Wheeloek, who made the engine now in use at the fac tory and used there for the last thirteen years. The boilers will be 3O0-horse- power as besides running the machinery steam heat is required for the work rooms and kiln dry. The cUi11 while the new engine and boilers are being put in

 Hot, muggy weather and threatening
 clouds greeted the many people who were
 astir yesterday morning to enjoy the days

 boat one would think that no one feared the
 weather and all took it for an opening of
 dog days. Between TOO and 800 people sail-
 ed on the trip of the Robert Emmet club,
 Clan-na-g@l ,and more enjoyable dayshasn't
 been spent by many of the members for a long time. When the Elm City left Belle Dock with the excursionists at 8 o'clock, her
 stahs were hung with flags, and flying from every possible pole were streamsrs and em-
 blems of Erin's Isle. Landrigan's band got on the hurricane deck and discouIsed inspir- ing sweet harmonies as the boat moved of. It was one of the most orderly and happy gatherings the Elm City has taken this season.
 SEVEN HUNDRED TO GLEN ISLAND. Starin's "Gem of the Sound" was visited by over seven hundred people who were eager for pleasant day and wanted to escape yes- tsrday's hot air. The party was composed of oAo AAAoAO6 7utk A0SkUDeLS O1 L4o 1AAC1SAbt tOE- der of Hibernians, the local lodge of Good Fellows and small party of Hartford peo- pie. A large number of young people were with the parties and they tested the excellent dance music of Thomas orchestra to the ut most. delightful sail was had and the fresh gea breezes and excruciating shore din- ners all played their part in the picnickers' pleasure.
