THE AUDITORIUM.


Enthusiastic Welcome to the Unique
and Beautiful Erection.
Jean jacques dream is an accom-
plished fact. He did not possess
Aladin's lamp, but what is almost as
useful in the nineteenth century, and
kept people on the qui vive for a long
time, and perhaps nothing has been so
much talked of for months as the audi
forum and the opening ball of Canton
Waterbury. The largest audience that
has ever thronged a public hall, was
OutspOken in congratulations to the
creator of this beautiful place of amuse-
ment. Lack of space will preclude us
from giving an adequate description of
the details of the building and its deco
rations to which only personal in
spection will do full justice.
Long before the hour for the opening
concert, the spacious building was we'll
| filled. The arrangements for accommo-
dating the immense audience were eX-
cellent and not the slightest confusion
occurred. Before the concert the as
senbly had ample time to admire the
beautiful structure in detail and were
unanimous, so far as we could ascertain,
in their expressions OF approval of the
design. The decorations in autumn
leaves, was happy thought, and blend
ed tremendously with the rustic finish
of the building, which with the electric
lights, red, white and green, made the
enclosure a dream of beauty.
The concert by Reeves band of Provi-
denCe was a we'll rendered selection of
well known and popular airs, and the
American band held their own nobly as
they responded to the challenge, as it
were, from the other end of the hail.
Canton Waterbury did itself proud on
the occasion. their handsome uniforms
M king the brilliant scene a thing long
to be remembered. Many invited guests
from out of town were present. Among
the number were the following: Mai
Gen G. B. Foster of New Haven, of the
division of the cast; Lieut. Col Ii. S.
Cooper Ct New Haven, of the same
division; Col G.. M. Roadway of Hart
ford Second regiment, p. NJ; Maj I. w.
Tyler of Bristol, of First battalion,
Second regiment, p. NJ, and the fol-
lowing from the First regiment, P. M:
Capt G. f. Libbey of New Haven,
Capt d. h. Alling of Grand Canton
Sassacus, No l, of New Haven. Canton
Excelsior, No :, of Middletown was
represented by Capt II. r. Young,
Lieuts w. Inglis and j. II. DeNeefe and
Chevaliers Fisher, SIzer, Miller,
Richardson and Daley.
We cannot close this article without
paying a tribute to Florist Snow, who
showed himself an artist worthy of the
occasion. The stage was vision of
beauty owing not a little to his taste in
| The floral decorations.

Farmer Smith Missing.

Solomon Smith, a farmer living in
Sufield, disappeared from his homo
Monday morning and has not been seen
or heard of by his relatives since. He
took no money with him and was in his
usual goob spirits when he left.
Relatives traced him as far as Windsor
Locks. but there all trace was
lost. He is not drinking man and no
cause can be assigned for his absence.
He was seventy-one years of age and
has a wife and one son. Inquiries have
been made at the houses of friends and
relatives on whom he would be likely to
call, but to purpose.

HAND IN YOUR TAX LIST.

Neglect to Do So Means an Increase of
10 Per Cent Over Last Year.
Taxpayers should hand in their lists
this week to the assessors, who are in ses-
sion at City hail. and save the ten per cent
which will be added if they neglect to
return the lists before November /. 1t
is fact that people in moderate Cir
cumstances show more indifference than
those better able to afford the fine i'm
posed by law. The assessors do not take
pleasure in adding the percentage to the
lists, and would prefer that people save
them from the disagreeable necessity Of
making the addition by handing in
their lists in good season.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Stepdaughter."


Annie Ward Tiffany, the only female
Irish star on the American stage, will
be seen at the opera house Monday
night as Peggy Logan, the Irish nurse,
in l.. R. Shewelrs strong melodrama,
''The Stepdaughter." Scenery of more
than average elegance has been pro-
vided for the play, and a good company
has been secured to support the star.
There are scenes in the play which
border on sensationalism, but they only
serve to arouse the enthusiasm of the
audience.
''Niobe.''
''Niobe' has conquered New York as
it conquered Boston last season. The
World says its success is due to the fact
that it is an entirely legitimate comedy,
relying in no way for fun upon horse
play. It's coming to the opera house
next Friday night.

Our board of examiners are quite
strict but none too careful i'll their
rules concerning the examination.
By-the-way we learned of person
who had been taking an examination
and from what was said We believe
had failed to receive certificate and
was scoring the superintendent, for
getting the fact that there is an ex-
aiming board composed of three per-
sons, and who, we are happy to say
are thoroughly competent and honest
men who do not attempt to influence
each other in the grading, as the as
sistant examiners take the papers COW
ering the subjects given to each one of
them for grading to their homes, and
grade them without consulting either
of the other examiners. So if any one
is dissatisfied with the grade received
we would advise him to go to the
examiner who did the grading, and
examine the paper with him, and then
score the party who did the grading
We might state for the benefit of fault
finders, or persons dissatisfied with
the result of an examination, that all
papers are on file in the superintend.
ent's office and that any person who
feels wronged by an examination can
have access to the same with any one
of the Board and examine the same
and discover all mistakes that may
have been made and have the same
corrected. When this is not done it
is presumed that the facts are not
sought after but that only q chance
to complain Il desired.
Supt. Barber gives Us this infOrma-
ton as coming from ex-Supt. Wisner;
He states that the name of the first
Superintendent is not remembered by
him, but that the unknown Superin-
tendent held the first county Institute
i'm an old stone building that stood on
the site now occupied by Mr.. Klau-
mann's store during lS5S-this super
intendent did not divide the county
into districts. The Records of the
superintendent's office were destroyed
when Humboldt was burned by the |
rebels during the civil war, And thus
the first item of record appears as of
date Nov. 1868. ANON,
