The Newtown bee., 1889-11-15

 wants of the business men for train leaving Newtown about l5 a m, so that they could reach Bridgeport about s o'clock and New York about 10.
 Col Stevenson replied in neat speech that such train would be provided, next Summer. Anything Newtown or New Milford is not receiving to-day, he wishes them to be friend enough to him to make their wants known by writing a letter to him or to the local prass, saying that we need this thing or that thing and he will see that they are not wanting anything that will be benefit to Newtown or this Housatonic valley. He wished to accom- modate the public and must know their wishes to do this.

 The president, vice presidents and sec retary were appointed a committee to re- ceive applications for membership in the club. It was voted that the BEE be the official organ, City Editor Wood saying that the Post would take care of itself. This gave Col Stevenson an opportunity to eulogize the BEE in the warmest terms. If he wanted to find out the news from the surrounding country, he sat down and read the BEE, because he rel ishes it most of any paper that he takes. City Editor Wood also paid the BEE a neat compliment. Thank you, gentle men, Senator Staub was instructed to see that the doings of the evening pub lished in the BEE were copied into the New Milford Gazette. Col Stevenson said that, if Newtown needed it, it should, in time, have d train every half hour through the day and, with the help of NewtoMn citizens, he could make it q city of Summer guests. w. II. IIubbell stated that a train of some kind passed Newtown station every half hour, the day before. Three cheers were given Col Stevenson for his genial good will; three for Mine Host HOulihan and his loving helpmeet and three for President Dayton. A rising vote of thanks was given the club by their guests for their royal entertainment. Letters of regret were received from Collector Walter God dard, Lawyer George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport, William H. Tallmage of Stamford and others. Col Stevenson en- tertained the company, in closing, with Il pleasing instrumental and vocal select ion, rendered in his own inimitable style. The meet of the club was one of the pleasantest social successes that the club has known and, now that politics are to be excluded from it's gatherings, it's fu- ture success is an assured fact. Mine Host Houlihan and his good wife deserve unstinted praise for the elaborate and faithful provision for the comfort of all. Prof Platt presided at the piano, render ing pleasing selections while the supper was in progress.
