A handsome cottage monument has
been set in the Long Hill cemetery by c..
j. Hughes of the Stratford granite and
marble works, to the memory of the late
Alonzo Sherman.
Work is rushing at Tousey's shop and
orders can scarcely be filled; orders are
also plenty at Hadley's.
Nearly 100 newspaper men and other
accepted the invation of Manages Harr
to witness the opening of Parlor Rock for
the season, Saturday afternoon. a spec
ial train left Bridgeport shortly after 3
and the crowd dispersed about the
grounds until about 4, 4,when the welcome
sound of bell summoned them to the
dining pavilion, where clambake was
the principal feature. Col stevenson
was called upon by j. IL. Sterling OF the
World and made a few remarks, assuring
them that he, as we'll as they, was
guest of Manager Harris and that he
hoped all would enjoy themselves and
come again. The colonel left on the
down express, which was stopped for nm
but the guests kept on eating and talk
ing. G. B. Bunnell, the Snowman, said
that he didn't know how to make one SIDE
of a speech and then proceeded to make
one of the best of the day. He found
Parlor Rock far superior to anything he
had ever imagined, although it was only
a short distance from the spot where he
made the greatest contract, in person
al way, of his life when he got his wife.
Others, including Milt. G. Barlow, the
comedian who is spending his Summer
with his father-in-law, D. Hall E. K. Ives
of the Bridgeport board of public works !;

man Goodsell of the Bridgeport board OF
trade, who gave reporters frst I'M
pressions of Parlor Rock Walt. Andef-

Waener's. made speeches which were
loudly applauded. Alderman kearns
sang a song and Editor Arthur W. French
of the Bridgeport Union read an original
poem which fairly dazzled the assem-
blage Mr. Bunnell was called up second
time to give his inimitable imitation OF
temperance lecture by Barnum ana spoke
earnestly in favor of the fund for ped
estal for the elegant and life like statue
of Mr. Barnum, for which some s2o was
raised. The game of ball, begun before
dinner was served, had been resumed be-
tween nine of the newspaper men OF
, Bridgeport and an equal number OF ON
cials of the railroad. Part of the time,
when Superintendent Lyon played in the
outtield. the railroaders had 10 men; but
the genial super restored the equilibrium
by saying that the other side could have
5 10 men, too City Editor Rufus A. Igor
of the Farmer umpired and was STRUCK

) Big John Orr of the Farmer made home

= Good playing was also done by the rail
road men and they were so Thoroughly
: lucky that they won the game by 70 t'
