notice. The affair in the theatre, Friday, April g, will be jubilee concert by the best talent in the State and will be the outcome of the fair. The bazar, just closed, furnishes conclusive evidence that Fairfield county wants, and should have, an annual fair which should be held in this city. Considering the great excite ment in this city, after election and the many other attractions, the fair was re- markedly successful and showed that, if every one interested iu fair had taken hold, it would have been grand suc- cess.
 Among recent donations to the Scien- tific society is a medallion of James Walker Beardsley, the work and gift of John Cavelti. Curator D. P. Secor, in paper presenting it to the society, briefly gave these facts relating to MT Boards ley, the donor of Beardsley park: MT Beardsley was native of Monroe, son of Elisha H. and Betsy W. Beardsley. He is a descendant of William Beardsley one of the first settlers of Stratford and, Ou HIS IDUtuSI S slOSf lS i uCScCuudub Ol Robert Walker, who was one of the founders of the South church in Boston in 1869. The land he has given to the city comprises over 125 acres of suitable park land. MT Reardsley tells how he came to give the park, as follows: One Fourth of July, he saw picnic party rudely driven off of land where they had gathered, doing no harm. He vowed then, that, were he ever able, he would provide place where the poor could go and enjoy themselves without being mo- tested. Would there were more such no- ble hearted men. Other donations to the society were 100 specimens of fish from the Smithsonian Institute, D English bird eggs from MT Hall, by Horace Pigg; a Giebe duck from Mrs William Boards ley; 50 shells from New Brunswick, from John Cavelti; three star fish with five, six and seven points from Fred Hurd and nine fine specimens of polished marble from Swanton, Vt., and four specimens of water worn corals from Michigan from D. P. Secor.
