At sunrise also the whole town was stirred by salute of 42 guns, one for each star in our national galaxy of States, fired in honor of the day. At ten o'clock, the hour for the procession to move, the whole population of the town had poured itself into the central streets and prominent high places waiting to see the pageant. All along the wide street fronting the Town hall were evidences that the enterprising seeker after shekels was alive to the opportunities the occasion af- forded. A variety Of street shows an candy and peanut stands were awaiting public pat ronage, and the African Voudoo snowman was shouting vigorously, calling for cease. less oannonade of base balls upon his devoted head. There was music in the air, G. A. R. men and Arctic engine men were about, and there were carriages, new and old, of every description. and degree of wear, laden with funny groups which represented every town within twenty miles of Milford Town Hall. The Town Hall and Postoffice too looked patriotic indeed in their dress of flags and festoons of red, white and blue. The houses generally all along the route on which the procession were to pass were more or less handsomely decorated. Probably the houses most handsomely decorated were those of Charles Fl. Trowbridge, cashier of the Mechanics Bank of this city, and Charles A. Tomlinson, chairman of the memorial con- mittee. The decorations generally were most crsditable and worthy of old Milford. Broad street fulfilled all expectations. The resi- denees all along the fine avenue were very tastefully adorned for the occasion. 0. H. Foster, of New York. had charge of decorat- ing 6 goodly number of these places. The house of Norcross, the druggist, was very gaily adorned. The Milford Savings Bank had over it's front door huge horseshoe inscribed "1639 1SS9." John G. North and Judge Fowler's residences and the Merwin house were among the residences that were noticsably decorated; also W. Cecil Durand's, whose houses and barns looked patriotic. The Baldwin & Lampkin shoe factory and the Masonic Hall, and the houses of Will H. Clarke, Charles A. Lyman, Durand I. Platt and the Milford Hotel were tastefully decorated.

 The floats representing the spochs in the towns history surpassed in appropriateness of design and beauty of arrangement any thing of the kind ever seen in this vicinity. That representing the purchase of the land on which the town stands from the Indians was decorated on the farm of George T. Platt. On either side is the date 1889. The platform was covered with turf, with stump of a tree near the rear end and an old log near the front. Several big stones lay about. Six white men and five Indians, at frequent intervals, went through the transaction of buying tine soil. Chief Ansantaws was represented by George N. Fenn, who came from Illinois for the occasion. William F. Fowler, representing one of the old settlers handed Ansantawm a piece of turf, which the latter took and stuck twig through, signifying that he had dissolved all his right to the land and the products there of. In exchange the settlers gave a kettle, several hoes and rakes, some coats and @ big pile of blankets. The appearance of the float was greeted with loud and continuous ap- plause along the line of march. The white men were represented by Nathan E. Smith, M. 8. Treat, William M. Fowler, Benjamin Fenn, Charles F. Smith and J. R. Clark. Dennis Fenn, Will H. Clarke, Sheldon Clarke and Nathan Gum, jr., acted as sub chiefs. The second float represented Indian life. On

The New Ravens Defeat she Norwalks
 EasilY-A Bouquet of Flowers for
 SwOrback-GiIliIand Does We'll.
 About 900 people witnessed the game be- tween the New Ravens and the Norwalks at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday after noon. The home team won easily by score
 of 16 to 4.
 The game was of the uninteresting order,
 there being very little excitement. Swor-
 back was in the box for the Norwalks, and
 his New Haven admirers expected him to
 show his mettle, but his old associates knew
 his weak points, and in the sixth inning he retired in favor of Shortstop Sullivan, who pitched the game out, Sworbaek playing sec ond base and Second Baseman Chadwick playing shortstop. In the second inning as Sworback stepped to the plate he was pres sented with handsome basket of flowers by Umpire Hunt in behalf of his New Haven friends. Gilliland pitched the first four innings for New Haven, but withdrew at the end of the fourth in favor of Doran. He pitched such 8 speedy ball that Cahill was unable to hold him. Galligan in left field for the Norwalks gave very poor exhibition of fielding, drop ping two flies. McKee's batting was the feature of the game, making four singles and one triple out of six times at the bat. Um- pire Hunts calling of decisions gave the spectators much amusement as one boy on the bleachers expressed, "He talks through his hat" In the eighth inning Schachern was substituted for Cahill, who withdrew on account of sore finger.

a sodded platform was an old wigwam. At one end there was Q miniature field of corn and few feet away a camp fire about which the red men were sitting, smoking their pipes of peace. The squaws were represented by Miss Lottie Reynolds, Miss Annie Nettleton and Miss Lottie Clark. The braves and bucks were Richard N. Treat, Arthur Smith and Arthur Clark.
 A pioneer band representing the original settlers as they journeyed to Milford came next. They rode horses, the girls on the billion behind their escorts. The float repre- senting the scenes of 1739 followed. Here there was work on a dash churn, man fan ming grain with an old fashioned fan in his hand, another smelling corn and woman pounding grain. A number of men followed carrying grain to mill. A float made at Wheel CTS farm, few miles below Milford, repre- sented the industries of 1S39 A number of flax workers went through the process from the raw product to the finished cloth. On the float representing the present day were all the modern household machines. Wash- ing machines, sewing machines, typewriters and the like, emphasized the difference be- tween 1889 and 163S.
 A number of teams followed, representing all the modern industries and the leading trades and business houses of Milford. Reapers and binders. mowers and tedders, all the modern farm appliances, were exhib- ited. George P. Platt had a float on which were number of peach trees on which was luclous fruit. K. B. Clark showed the way seeds are cultivated. Baldwin & Larkin demonstrated the way shoes are made in these times and made fine display. J. N. Hawkins & Sons had small grocery store and showed a number of good things. Dss- con George F. Platt rode a one-horse shay more than one hundred years old.
 The Milford Oornet band led the second division and the Arctic Engine shirt and fire hat were worn by the fire laddies, and their machine glis- tened as though just from the factory. In the procession was team with the horse wearing placard with the words, "Horse 250 years old to-day" It was greeted with 1 shouts of laughter everywhere. A sailbost on an immense float bore the words: "Ye
 way our forefathers brought their goods to Milford" The boat was loaded with goods
 and the four settlers carving rifles kept an | eye out for piratical Indians.
 The people scattered after the procession
 and enjoyed themselves as best they could
 until the athletic contests of the afternoon
 Many old friends sought each other and
 passed the happy hours in renewing old as. quaintanceship.

Athletic Contests.

At one o'clock a big crowd gathered in front of the Town hall in order to see Mill ford's athletes struggle for supremacy. There were three events, sack race, potato race and a tub race.
