MARBLEDAIE.
A SUCCESSFUL FETE.

| The day dawned propitiously for the
 midsummer fete and thus enabled the
 ladies to make it decidedly a financial
 success. To one passing by Mrs Clark's | the appearance of things wonld have | suggested something important as about
 to occur. Tables, tents, lanterns, chairs
 and settees were scattered here and there
 on the lawn each side of the house. And
 the suggestion to a stranger would have
 been correct, there was an important event about to occur. It was no less
 than the disposal of great quantity of
 food, cake and ice cream, as we'll as the
 sale of fancy and practical articles.
 Probably between 200 and 300 people came to the fete. They came from New
 Milford, Warren, Washington and Low CT Merryall. Distance made no differ ence with them. It is hard to tell which thing ought to be discovered first. But perhaps it will be well to follow the or der of events. The first thing on the program was musicale, gotten up by Mrs James Sperry and Mrs D. I. Will son of Brooklyn. This was a decided success and all seem to enjoy it very much. Much amusement was aroused by the quartet of young people of Brook lyn in piece called Reuben and Cyp- thia." A Miss Pollock was present and favored the audience with several reel tations and two or three songs. She was thoroughly at home in her parts and her work was an important feature of the musicale. People in this vicinity know from past experience the excellence of the singing of Mrs Sperry and Mrs Wp- son who again sang on this occasion. A Mrs Bolande. from the lake, also sang two or three times and was much eniov- ed. Also Mrs Frank Hosford of New Preston was present and rendered two or three very taking songs. Three young men gave violin and banjo music which was greatly appreciated. From first to last, the musicale was very pleasing part of the fete and much praise is due to the ladies and young people who participated in it. The sum- per was no small feature of the affair and every one ate as though they were
 "nSiy' iSe SiSoi' anu cahc went last. So also the sale of fancy and other arti- cles. Ie was one of the pleasantest fetes ever held in this place and rhe financial result was very gratifying, the ladies of both organizations making over slO0. Thanks are due to Mrs Clark who so kindly gave her grounds and house for this purpose.

BASE BALL NEWS.

Tomorrow the Washington club will cross bats with the Woodbury club on the latter's ground. 1t promises to be a close and interesting game The ad- mission will be 10 cents; ladies free. The admission being so small there is no possible reason why there should not be a large attendance at to-morrow's game. If the people who would like to see strong hines from out of town play here they must not be afraid of paying 10 cents, as it costs money to get any nine here. Now let the boys have a crowd of friends on the grounds tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, and I will wagert the admission fee that the boys will put up twice as good game as they would with sfnall crowd.

 The sales tell another story. Hun dreds of pairs have gone out at half and two thirds prices. People are better judges of goods than some mer- chants suppose. Those who have seen the shoes we are selling know their worth. Are you one who has seen? If not, examine. Then you'll agree.
 There is still good supply of the Wisner woman's shoes at half price. Other bargains for men and women.
