 THE EVENINGS EVENTS. A brilliant spectacle was that presented about the public square in the center of the town last evening. The many fine residen- ces which stand fronting the square around its four sides were brilliantly illuminated. were numbers of receptions and other pleas ant little entertainments for the enjoyment of the visitors. Whitfield street and the en- tire side of the green fronting upon this was strung with Chinese lanterns, and 6 most picturesque appearance it was. Red lights were burned before many of the wide, con- fortable old homesteads, and the bright re- factions seemed to cast glow of pleasure and genial hospitality over the whole town. Oae of the Hveliest places during the even ing was the residence of Dr. William Key holds, which faces the green. The doctor has multitude of guests whom he is enter- taining through the celebration.

Reynolds received telegram saying that President Cleveland had been called to the Adirondacks because of the illness of Mrs. Cleveland and could not possibly be present. A lively informal reception was given by the doctor in honor of his guests last evening. Among those whom Dr. Reynolds is entertain ing are Associate Justice Bradley of the Unit ed States Supreme court of Washington, MT. and Mrs. Treadwell Richards of New York city, Miss Annie J.

President Clark of the Consolidated road is expected to be among Dr. Reynolds visitors to day.

It was 0 reception which the residents of the two towns rendered to their guests, and large number of the old people of Guilford who had not been to their native town for many years met and renewed their old time acuuaintances. Among the guests was Mrs. Catherine Bramble of New London, who is one of the direct descendants of Will Liam Dudley, great friend of Rev.
