 Those Who Were Present.
 The fste which was held on the grounds of the Fellowss place at 2ss Whitney avs nue yesterday afternoon and evening for | the benefit of Leila Day nursery was 1 great success and was much enjoyed by | tho large number of prominent people present. The spacious lawn presented most attractive and charming appearance, while in the evening 1t was brilliantly illu- minated with Japanese lanterns, making a scene of fairy like Ioveliness.
 The weather was ideal for a summer tets and the ladies and children were thus en- abled to appear in their light summer cos tunes. Booths at which all kinds of light refreshments were dispensed were placed at convenient intervals on different parts of tho lawn. The Second regiment band occupied bower of trees on the lawn and Robinson's orchestra was stationed on the yeranda of the music room of the house, where dancing was enjoyed by the young people. Donkey carts gave the children Tides along the pleasant drives of the grounds, while "the goose that laid the golden egg" furnished them with numerous toothsome dsinties. This fgoose," by the way, was one ot the most popular and unique features of the fete. It was very weli-disposed ''oooss" for 8 mechanical one, but unlike the common, ordinary every. day goose that is more commonly seen searching for food of almost any sort in the back yard only gold or silver kernels would satisfy | this fastidious ''gooss." These he de- youred with signs of evident satisfac- tion. But sgain unlike the ordinary goose, every time he devoured his little silver kernel he produced for the infant e1pectant 8 package of candy, or something else delightful to | the heart of YouEg America. Miss Murphy, l Miss Hotchkiss and Mr. Henderson were | in charge of this fruitful animal. Passing on from the children delighted ! with their donkey carts and golden eggs, | the next feature was the lemonade booth, | which was presided over by Mrs. Lynde Harrison and Mrs. George Harrison Gray. They were assisted by Miss Thompson, | l The candy booth was presided over by Mrs. Wheeler, Miss North and Miss Grif- fng.
 l At the resreshment tent Mrs. Joseph B. Sargent, Mrs. Profe sor Mixter, Mrs. Cut
 Ter, Mrs. Wilcoxson, Mrs. George A. But
 Ter and Miss Towner were in charge. Seven little girls dressed in light pink cos
 tunes acted as waitressss. They were as
 follows: Miss Mabel Butler, Miss Ada
 Butler, Miss Katie Hastings, Miss Ellen
 Mixter, Miss Winifred Smytb, Misses
 Mildred and Emily Wilson and Miss Ella
 Smith.
 The flower booth was one of the most
 interesting places to visit on the grounds.
 There were basket hats of flowers, palm
 leaf fans filled with flowers, buckets of
 peonies and 8 profusion of the most ele-
 gsnt red peoples, which were especially
 contributed by an eminent botanist. Gin
 ger pots filled with wealth of roses were
 placed around on pretty little shelves 1T
 conservatory-like fashion, while 8 pretty
 fernery added to the attraotivenees of the
 whole. A large amount of wild laure
 was also ono of the particularly attractive
 features of this booth. This wac in charge
 of Mrs. MoCrea Ipgersoll, who was assisted
 by Miss Mabel Wilcox, Mrs. Elsie Farnam
 Miss Sanford and Miss Stoughton.
 The music rendered by the Second re2i
 ment band under the efficient and praise

 passing mention. The work that Is dom
 by New Haven's leading band Is steadil.
