THE "L1rrLE DERBH.-

Wednesday, Oct. 17th, witnessed the formal opening of the "Little Derby, " or the extension of the New Haven and Derby railroad, from Derby to Bots ford, where connection is made with the Housatonic system. By special invitation of Col w. H. Stevenson, president of the new road, nearly 8 hundred newspaper men boarded a special train leaving New Haven at 10:1O Q. m. The train was gaily deco rated with flags and bunting, and carried, besides the reporters and off, cers. Wheeler $ Wilson's band. to make things lively on the way. At Derby and Shelton the excursionist were greeted by the blowing of whistles and cheers from the enthusiastic crowds which lined the track.
 From Derby the train proceeded slowly over the new road, giving abun- dant opportunity to drink in the beauti- ful scenery of the lower Housotonic Valley. This scenery, now for the first time available from the car window, is undoubtedly the finest in this part of the country, with the possible excep- ton of that seen between Norfolk and Canaan, on the Hartford & Connecticut Western railroad.
 About five miles from Shelton, and opposite Zoar Bridge, Col Stevenson, to the accompaniment of martial music and booming cannon, drove the gold and silver spikes which completed the final link connecting New Haven with the North and West by new and com peting route. The train proceeded to Botsford and from there, via Brookfield Junction, to Danbury; where 8 sumptu- ous repast was provided at the Turner House. Col Stevenson gracefully presi- ded, and after the coffee and cigars were passed gave brief history of the new road and introduced several other speakers, among whom were Judge Luzon B. Morris, democratic candidate for governor, Gen s. B. Merwin, repub- ican candidate for ieut-governor, and the Hon N. D. Sperry, all three of whom were alluded to as the fathers of the Derby road, and all gave interesting reminiscences of its birth and all prophe- cied for it a bright future.
 The laying of these few miles of track gives New Haven and the eastern part of the state new and more direct out let to the west, both for freight and passenger traffic, and it is evident that under the energetic management of Col Stevenson the new route will soon prove an important part of the New England railroad system. There is now no req son why the borough of Shelton, which is the result of the Ousatonic Water Co.'S dam, should not be duplicated g few miles up the river, where water power of equal value awaits develop ment, thus adding another to the long list of prosperous New England manu. featuring villages.
 The members of the party left the dining room after giving three hearty cheers for Col Stevenson, and were then taken to Bridgeport, where they separated. With the thoughtfulness for which he is noted Col Stevenson stopped the limited express on switch this side of Hawleyville in order tha the representative of THE NEWS migh get on board. For this courtesey as we'll as for his generous hospitality, he will please accept our sincere thanks.
