THE NEW CREAMERY

The Danbury Creamery Co.,, having done a successful business in Danbury concluded to build a large and complete factory in this quiet vil- lage, situated one mile west of the cen ter. Two of the partners, A. A. and E. 5. Gorham, will have charge, it being located on their fathers property. The creamery building is two story frame building, 26x56 feet, with II foot ceilings and hard wood floors. It is strong and neatly built in a workman like manner being done by George A. Miller of Beth el. An artesian well was bored by the Westport hustler, E. N. Slipperly, which affords an ample supply of water, which by the use of engine, hot and cold water is conveyed to all parts of the building and used for washing churn, vats, cans and all machinery. On the first floor as one enters, the south door, he beholds a gigantic boiler, furnishing power for a 20-horse engine. After leaving the boil CT room, we come to the butter making room where every thing is new, clean and sweet First stand two large vats holding 300 gallons each fo; tempering the milk and cream. A quartered oak churn, of 250 gallon capacity, runs by power; also the latest improved Yer mont butter worker. A cooling room is near by, where one ton of ice can be put at time. A pipe is so constructed in case the cooler becomes musty, steam can be turned into it and cleaned. An improved separator and extractor makes complete machine. You caneither sep arate the cream or put in your whole milk and it will come out butter all churred. The whole milk will be bought at this fac tory, paying two cents in summer and three cents in winter. It will be bought by weight, two pounds and two ounces making quart, or 47 2-17 quarts to the 100 pounds. The creamery started. Fri day, June l6, with about 50 cans the first day. Grading has been done in front, 1 where farmers drive un and deposit their milk on the second floor.

 Horse Notes.


 Work upon the large reservoir dam, has progressed very fast during the past six weeks. There are now so to 90 double teams of horses and over 300 men employed. The Italian village on the side hill is an interesting sight to visitors with it's numerous earth covered huts and rude dwellings. Among the Italians are many musicians, singers and few theatrical men and they pass their leis- ure time in having concerts, dancing and theatricals. It would be difficult to find any other nationality of as large numbers together with as little fighting or un- pleasantness as there is here,as all seem well disposed towards each other.

Horse dealers have done good busi- ness the past two months and the report is that they make more clear money than the teamsters do after working the horses through the season.

ANOTHER BARNUMS DAY.

Arrangements are fast being com pleted for the coming Fourth of July, or the unveiling of the Barnum statue at Seaside park. The statue is all compile ted and the grounds nearly ready. Mir Barnum's great granddaughter, Nancy Barnum Leigh, will draw aside the veil, thus giving the public a chance to look again at the familiar face and form of one whom every one was fond of, who was welcome guest wherever he mi ght choose to go and known to almost every human being in the whole world. It will be ever a pleasure to not only this city's people, but to strangers who visit here. One and all will be ever anxious to see the great snowman looking as he does, as natural and as peaceful and with that calm expression of counten ance for which he was noted during his busy life. H. A. Bishop will be grand marshal for that day. It is a wise choice; young with fine business quali- fications, and thoughly competent with his large military knowledge and ability, there is no reason to doubt that any thing necessary to make the day a sue cess, will be overlooked. Many out of town companies and organizations have accepted the invitations and many more will come. A large grand stand will be erected near the statue before which the parade will pass. Already local decora- tors are receiving large orders for elaborate decorations on private and public buildings. Were the great show man present in flesh instead of bronze metal he would spare no expense and take great delight in making it the greatest day in Bridgeport's history.

 Plumbing business in this city is at a stand still, the, winter harvest being ended.

 Travel at last has ceased over the old horse car bridge. The horse cars are running across the center one. With fine weather there should be no delay in getting the new bridge completed, for with the road closed all summer, it will be source of great inconvenience and cause many poor horses longer journeys. The city fathers should push it, looking out to guard against the long delay which happened to the lower bridge.
 B. D. Pierce, IT,, has had built, after plans of his own ideas, one of the neatest and handsomest summer houses in the city.
