DeIegation-WOrld Fair.

Return Home OF the Connecticut
Delegation-WOrld Fair.
The Connecticut building at the world s
fair has just been completed. The archi-
lecture represents colonial style which
prevailed in New England during former
generation. A Fair Haven lady who has
just returned from Chicago says that the
building is indeed a great credit to Con-
necticut, and that 1t is much finer than the
one at the centennial. Appropriately, also,
the Rhode Island buildings smaller edifice
stands next to the Connecticut building
The Connecticut delegation returned yes
terday. The First company, Governors
Foot Guard, who were loudly applauded in
the great parade in Chicago last Friday,
were taking in the sights and wonders at
Niagara Falls Sunday. Major Woods re-
mains at Chicago few days longer
The Connecticut delegation report q
most enjoyable trip. Not an incident oc-
Cured during the week to mar the pleas
ure of the excursionists. The weather
was perfect throughout the entire time,
with the exception of rain during the first
night while running through Canada.
The delegation was welcomed home at
the actives, escorted Governor Buckley to
the capitol.
Last evenings Hartford Times says:
Among the old Hartford boys who were
at the hotel to say goodbye to Chicago
was ex-Captain White of the City Guard.
In the ranks of the Foot Guard were sew
eral of the younger members who were
drilled by Captain White as West Middle
school cadets, and he was more than
pleased that the influence of his labors
had induced them to become mill

Buckley appeared coming down
the stars, when three times three cheers
were given by the Foot Guard followed by
up 'Hail to the Chief" and the crowd
cheered Justify as the governor walked
down the stairs, across the Office to the car
rage in waiting, bowling his acknowledge
ments all the way. He was accompanied
by Adj utant-G General Embler and followed
by his staff officers.
Major Hyde's command was quickly
formed on Michigan avenue, and headed
by the band playing "Auld Lang Syne,"
escorted to the Lake street station. Crowds
were on the sidewalks and cheered the de-
parting Connecticut delegation which had
made 30 favorable an impression and at
parsdes.
On the return trip, during the run over
the Boston and Albany road, meeting of
the ladies, the governors staff and guests
was held in the ladies' car. Mrs. Trow
bridge, treasurer of the lady managers,
presided. Votes of thanks were extended
to Mrs. and Governor Buckley for their
part in making the trip pleasant one, and
to DR.. Ingalls, for looking after the wants
of the inner man. Mayor Hyde moved
the vote of thanks to the governor and
spoke few complimentary words. The
governor spoke in behalf of himself and
MIS-. Buckley. Cheers were given for all
the participants in the meeting, and for
the Foot Guard, Colts band and the ladies.
Springfield was reached at 10 o'clock,
and the long train of vestibule sleepers
pulled into the Hartford depot at 1858.
Governor Buckley was serenaded by the
Foot Guard on the run home, the guards
men crowding into his car and singing q
number of newly written songs. A sam-
pie of the most popular is here given:
OF all the Governors in the land,
Morgan g. has got the sand;
The highest prise to him wen shout,
He would not see US get shut out.
Ta-ra-ra, boom de aye. etc.
The governor thanked the "Feeters" and
complimented the historic organization in
brief speech. -T-
