LONG HILL.

A merry company of nearly four score relatives and intimate friends gathered at David s. Walkers, Friday, when the silver wedding of MT and Mrs John Tur- ney of Stratford was celebrated. MT and Mrs Turney are spending the Sum- mer at Mrs w II. Brothwell's and it was 1 particularly pleasant that the celebration should occur at Mrs Turney's old home stead. The house was beautifully dec orated with the seasons flowers and l Chinese lanterns lent festive air to the occasion. The company included guests from this and surrounding towns and a merry time was had by all. MT and Mrs Turney did the honors of the evening and | were tine recipients of countless eXpres- sions of good will and best wishes for the gold and diamond weddings. The festivities continued until a late hour. Many handsome, useful and expensive presents were received.

The necessity for abso lute truthfulness and careful regard fol the welfare and comfort of others,as nee essary to true humility of spirit, were also dwelt upon, as was the tendency tt false self depreciation, in the hope o1 lcommendation from others.

STEPNEY.

Our cemetery is looking beautifully under the care of Sexton Edson Hayes. Our village green has never before pre- scented so clean and pleasing an appear ance, while the roadside in front of many homes denotes the thrift and commend able pride of their owners, and yet our school house grounds are sadly neglect ed. Ought not something, cannot some- thing be done here? Property owners in this district must certainly feel an inter- est in this subject. Some of the most en- terprising business men in the cities and villages around us, as well as in the far West, some of the professional men in our seminaries, colleges and churches, many successful teachers of our district schools keep ever in remembrance the "Sehool House on the Hill, ,'' overlooking the whole village, where so many lessons were conned and so many pleasant hours were spent. Let us bestir ourselves.

THE HORSE RAILROAD.

No enterprise started in Westport (and
 their number Is past finding out) has met with such public approval and support as the Westport and Saugatuck horse railroad. Its financial success has also been phenomenal, as, since its organiza- tion, it has never failed to pay an annual c per cent dividend. It is no wonder that the stockholders of the Bridgeport and Norwalk horse railroads should mutter and growl when they only get an occas- ional 1-2 per cent dividend or it's equiv- alent. They are growing and prosper ous cities and investors would naturally look for the best returns from such roads {; but Westport can teach them how to run a horse railroad for profit. While the patrons of our road receive excellent ser vice, those who ride in their own carri- ages are much annoyed by the wretched condition of it's track, which Is unneces- sary and unprofltable. A rail standing unprotected from four to six inches high in many places in the center of public thoroughfare would be judged q nuis- ance by any court and 1t Is a surprise to the community that the company allows such annoying and even dangerous con ditions to exist. Many had hoped that the young superintendent would put the road bed in better shape than 1t had beer before, but they have been disappointed
 AS rule, whenever the track Is talk

BRIDGEPORT.

The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new Y. .C.A.building calls public attention more closely to the as sociation and its work. Secretary Fer guson, in special number of the Ob- server, gives resume of the work of the association, which was organized nine years ago and of which Dr I. DeVer Warner has always been president. W. K. Colley was general secretary until called to the position of State secretary. The building fund is between $40, ,000 and S50,000 and it is proposed to increase this, by personal solicitation of subscrip- tions, to nearly $B0, ,000, the cost of the new building. The Observer gives a large cut of the building as it will stand when completed and this description:
 The new structure for the Young Mems Christian association of Bridgeport is build ing on the northwest corner of Main and Gil. bert streets and has eastern and southern exs posture. The structure has the advantage of a passage on the rear and north, securing an abundance of light and air. It has been the aim of the architect to incorporate all essen tial features peculiar to such building, with out sacrificing the dignity of design required in so large structure. The front of the lower floor will be devoted to business purposes, two stores on Main street and two on Gilbert i street. On the basement floor, in the rear. is the gymnasium, 5ix65 feet, with height of 20 feet inches. Its side walls will be ot brick and will be amply lighted by windows on three sides. It is intended to make it perfect in detail and appointment On the same floor will be two large dressing rooms with lockers for almost 1000 members, & base ball cage, bowling alleys and plunge bath 19x34. five feet deep. The water in this bath will be kept at proper temperature for use at any time and there will be shower, needle and spray baths This floor contains the boilers, steam pump and dynamo, the latter for lighting the build Ing. In the of the ground fioor in the upper part of the gymnasium, is the running track, 8 laps to the mile, elliptical in shape The main entrance is on Main street and will present most imposing appearance. It will be 12 feet wide and the staircase beyond F feet. The vestibule Is to have q stone floor and the side walls are to be of ornamented bun and red tiled brick.

COLEYTOWN.
MIR srPrERLEY's MOVING MATCH.


 Although it was understood that the several makes of Buckeye mowers, as we'll as other machines, would compete with the Deering for the championship at a moving match in COleytown, Mon day morning, not one appeared, save the Deering, notwithstanding the statements made by agents. The match had been arranged by k. N. Sipperley of Sipper- ley's mills, who had taken pains to invite local agents to enter their machines. The morning was lowery, with slight dash or two of rain, but about 90 gathered at William II. Bradley's, where the match was to take place. Those present includ- ed visitors from Norwalk and even New Canaan, as we'll as local points. After waiting until about 10 o'clock (the match who alone was ready with q five foot cut Deering mower and team of stout horses, decided that no one else was com ing and drove to the field to be moved on the old cross road near Mrs Salome Thorpe's. The grass was wet and lodg- Gu, Ol COuISGy buJ DO OHG CADtCLCu bO sec such a rank growth with such forest of docks, etc. It was Mir Sipperley's first sight of the field and he looked blank. There was about an acre, which had been sowed with wheat, last year, and the first moving was not altogether thing to be desired, though the land was smooth. Mir Sipperley drove around the lot sever al times, stopping and starting the ma chine without difficulty and also without the necessity of back ing to obtain fresh start. Where the grass stood, it was cut easily and noise lessly, notwithstanding the soaking ev- erything had received; and where the grass lay, tangled and flat, laying the same way the machine ran, it cut as well as could be expected. w. H. Bradley took the lines and drove while Mir Sip perley explained the good points of the machine to the assemblage and showed that 1t could be run without the use of the neck yoke, there being no side draft. Mir Bradley continued to drive and fin ished the pieces saying, emphatlcally, ''It's the best machine l ever sat on and I'll tell any man so." Several who were on the ground expecting to buy moving machines were greatly disappointed at the failure of the other dealers to put in an appearance and asked whether they were afraid to enter or what was the matter. There were no judges and no honors, of course, and there was no way of determining the relative merits of the Deering and other machines; but the concensus of opinion seemed to be that the Deering did good work, as good as could be done under the circumstances.

GREENFIELD HILL.

Banks North district did itself credit, last week, at the union school picnic in the grove of Sherwood Banks. The idea originated with Miss Harriett E. Jen. nings, the teacher, and it proved happy idea, well carried out. With the kind permission of Dr Durham, the school visitor, Miss Jennings invited the schools of Banks South, Miss S.J. Fayerweathel teacher; Burr's, Miss Sarah F. Hopkins teacher; Deerfield, Miss Ada E. Burr teacher, to unite with her own scholars In one grand picnic. Burr's school tray. eled In decorated cart and, when the four schools had assembled in the school house of Banks North, they marched in procession to the grove which Mir Banks had graciously got ready, each school marching as distinct body and singing In turn as they marched. Scholars and friends to the number of 250 packed the grove. Each school gave reeitations and songs, after which came the collation., for which Dr Dunham generously pro- vided strawberries and the fixings. It is question which enjoyed it most, parents or children, but all had a royal time and found all the more zest in the enjoyment because Dr Durham took so much inter- est and trouble to make it proud and happy day for all concerned.

on account of the seasick feeling it pro- duces. But these things will probably be remedied in the future in some way. Since there Is no more hope for the Saug- atuck Valley line, whereby Westport hoped to make connection with the out side world on rails, would it not be Il ben eft to our village to have the horse rail- road so arrange their tracks that full car loads coming to and leaving Westport could be passed over their tracks? From three to five full cars arrive or leave ev- cry week and this represents about S5C in carriage. Surely more than one hali of this could be saved, if the cars could be hauled over the horse railroad. Let the company speak and then act and il will aid Westport.
