Crowds thronged incessantiv all last Sat- urday evening in front of the cigar factory and store of L. Citron at his new location, No. 442 State street, under the Selden House. They were viewing the Indian scene repre- senting how the early aboriginees made ci- gars, The whole window was bed of strip and leaf tobacco, with background of the same, and cigar makers dressed as Indians work assiduously, all. except the "big In- dian" chief who nonchalantly reclined most of the time 'tbossing" the rest. The window was gaily decorated and plac arded. The oc- casion was MT.

 Now Roads and Paths
 The annual report of the East Rock Park commissioners made by Mir. H. F. English was presented to the committee on annual reports at the board of aldermen last even ing. It is here given in substance:
 To the Honorable Court of Common Coun-
 oil:
 The East Rock Park commission submits the following report for the year 1888:
 Three Improvements have been made in serve special notice.
 The grounds around the soldiers monu- ment have been suitably graded and turfed, and the necessary approaches and paths con- struoted about, pursuant to plans prepared by Donald G. Mitchell. The cost of all this was something over a thousand dollars.
 The new line of driveway designed to con- nest the Bishop gate entrance on State street with the arch under English bridge has been further extended to the hollow near the northern end of Snake rock, the work al- ready accomplished representing a distance of nearly two thousand feet. A large amount of road excavation has been necessary in order to keep the grades easy, and another year will be required before the final junc- ture can be effected with the old road at the mouth of the arehway.
 A footpath has been constructed from Hemlock Grove on the Farnam drive up Whitney Peak and thence along the top of South View Ridge to Armory Bluff, over- looking Lake Whitney. This renders easily accessible 8 romantic and hitherto secluded part of the park and presents to the pedes- trians series of fine views, both north and south. The path was built at the instance of MT. Henry F. English. who contributed an amount of money sufficient tor this gene- ral purpose, there being balance not yet ex- pended.
 The roads and paths in the park are now so extended as to require constant attention to keep them in order, from the superinten- dent and park keeper, both of whom are now employed by the year, winter and summer. Watering the drives alone costs about a thousand dollars annually. The final pay ments on account of the park keepers cot- tage have been made, amounting to $1, ,000, an extraordinary expense that will not again recur. The report gave items in detail of which the summary is as follows: The year ly receipts, including $6, 900 from the city of New Haven, were $6, TAG s1. The expendi- lures were $6,370.
