 THE CHRYsANTHRMUM SHOW. = BEAUTY. ,a ,s
 The chrysanthemum show, concert and supper, under the auspices of Trinity par ish, which occurred last week Thursday aid Friday evenings in the Town hall was a notaU1e success, far beyond the antici- pAtions1 of it's origfnators, both in exhib- its and attendance. As will be remem- bfred, last spring Rev MT Linsley gave out over 300 of the young chrysanthe- mum plants of over so varieties, with the understanding that they were to be cared far during the summer and in the fall they would be gathered at the Town hall and prizes awarded for the best results. The plan worked nicely and all day We'd nfsday and Thursday the plants flowed into the Town hall until it looked as if it would be a large task to display them. so that they could be seen to advantage. Along the entire length of the hall rows of shelving were built and in these fine fpwers were exhibited to. good iadvan- sdge, There were many exhibitors, show. ing that large numbers had taken an in., tdrest in the work, and while there were only few exhibits of any of the rarer species of the chrysanthemum, yet the blossoms as a rule were of very. fair size and of a great variety of colorings. The florists of Danbury, New Haven and Bridgeport were well represented with exhibits of cut flowers. The West End Floral Garden: of Bridgeport displayed eArysanthemums; J. H. Ives, Danbury, eRrysanthemums; Fl. c. Cable, Danbury :, rdses, pinks and chrysanthemums Frank Bhtler, Danbury, roses; Robert Cooking, Dhnbury, .- ehrysanthemums;. ry Robert VI fitch < Son, New Haven, ,ehrysanthe- mhms naturally grown and not disbud. dad. Abel F. Clarke sent from New Y prk very handsome bouquet of large ehrysanthemum blossoms. ,fs,-,s--= :. The palms loaned by Mrs M, c, flaw, ley, Mrs Aaron Sanford and Mrs c. H. 7Psek were very much admired and added gHeatly in the decoration of the hall. 'i
 The formal opening of the flower show odcurred on Thursday evening with a co dncert by out-of-town talent. Never in tn he history of the Town hall has such ta ste been displayed in the arranging of tn stage. The background was of the eY Yergreen, while dotted here and there we're the bright chrysanthemum blos- so ms and banquet lamps and comfortable -chairs gave it an easy and perfectly h0me-like appearance.-aA A very attractive mi psical program had been arranged and tn e solo work of Miss Fayerweather,M Miss Fuller and MT Rider from, DanbprY was re eeived with much favor by the audi en nce. Prof c. s. Platt played very ta king piano selection and the piano se- lestions by Miss Baldwin and Miss Full let were very nicely rendered. Clarence B.
