IN BARNUM,s HONOR. /
The Statue to be Unveiled In Bridge
port To-day - Program for the Y
Parade and GeIebration--The Omcial
Order of Program.
BR1DGEPoRT, July 4.-The Barnum
statue will be unveiled in Bridgeport to-
day, and the unwilling will be attended by
citizens from all parts of the state.
The exercises will not be grand and i'm
posing. Like the funeral of Mr.. Barnum
the ceremonies will be simple, and impress
sive because of their simplicity. It will |
be merely an earnest tribute to the ap- |
preciatsd dead.
The statue which will be unveiled Ii one |
of the handsomeet pieces of sculpture ex |
hibited in this part of the country. TWAS
executed by Ball, the famous sculptor Of
Italy, and alone cost handsome fortune.
The work was done under the direction of
James A. Bailey, the great showman's
partner, and the statue WAS presented to
the city by the Barnum heirs.
The pedestal upon which rests this hand
some work of art was designed by Long
staff & Hurd, the local architects. 1t was
made at the Mantle granite works and was
paid for by subscriptions from the citizens
of Bridgeport.
A conspicuous feature of the parade
will be the First Machine Gun section of
Hartford, under the commsnd of Captain
Avery, and the Fourth section of this
| city, in charge of Lieutenant Rand.
Under the new military law the different
| machine gun platoons have been formed
into a battery and placed under one COM
| mandant. The murdsrous looking sppa-
ratus of war will probably make timid
ones shudderx -.
The parade will start promptly at las
| from the corner of Fairfield avenue and
Broad street.
