 THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
 Thousands of people viewed with delight the display of fireworks made from the top of East Rock in the evening, the display beginning just after dusk and lasting until after o'clock. On all the streets leading to the Rock and at the foot of the Rock people were assembled in groups or throngs to view the spectacle. Grand avenue rail road bridge was crowded with spectators, and from this point very good view was obtainable. The lighting up of the sol diers' monument on various occasions was beautiful sight, and many of the fancy rockets created innumersble chs and ahs of delight from the spectators. To many the most beautiful and sublime eight was the grand illumination of the stesp front of old East Rock by means of colored fires at its base.

Lake Saltonstall was throngned with people who came in carriages, steam cars and bicycles and who then went to the picnic grounds at Regatta Point, Chestnut ard Oak groves on the steamer Cygnet or tha barge Governor Ssltonstall or in | sharpies, row boats, etc. All the email boats were engaged beforehand, many go- ing out in the early morning, as black bass bite better in the early morning or late in afternoon. Many returned at noon, having had 'good luck," some bringing home black bass of four pounds weight, large ptckerel, roach, perch and other fish. Some very large cells were caught at the lake. One was caught the other day and Superintendent Granniss has the skin, l which was about two foot long and waa caught with hook sad line.
 Some ten years ago General Mcdonald of the United States fah commission sent from the Missouri river to Ar. George H Townsend thousands of 6 fish call coffies, 8 fish unknown in these parts, which were deposited in Lake Saltonstall. They are 6 very gsmy fish weighing when matured some four pounds and over. Many o1 these cofies are now being caught weigh ! ing as high at two pounds, which, with the fine black bass with which the lake has | been stocked since 1860, makes fishing 6, l Lake Saltonstau attractive.
 The only way to get to Lake Saltonstal now is by carriage or on foot or by the Consolidated railroad. The latter hal eight trains stopping at the lake daily but very soon the extension of the Morris Cove electric road will be in operation te the lake, ss the rails are laid to the 1ak, and the poles to the stone church and wiree about half the distance, so that eel long the electric cars will be running from the green to Lake Saitonstall about every fifteen minutes, in connection with every train. The steamer Cygnet makes triI to the head of the lake, where 1t almost a. wild as the Adirondacks.
