The arrangements for the sound
money celebration this evening are
about completed, and it is expected
that the parade and other accompani-
ments will be a grand success. There
will be a general illumination all over
the line of march, and the town, will
literally be ablaze with red fire and
| other lights. Several of the opposing
party have signified their intention of
illuminating their houses and places
of business. There will no doubt be
racket with the factory gongs, shot
guns rifles, tin horns, etc, for an hour
| after the parade starts. Arrangements
| have ben made so that in case there
should be a fire in the borough during
the parade the gongs will blow the reg
| ular alarm signals, three short blasts
| and careful watch will be kept so
| that there will be no danger of any
mishap from that quarter. Quite del
egation from New Haven, Meriden and
adjoining towns are expected to be
present to witness the parade, and in
many cases perhaps to join in the cere-
monies, There promises to be a gener-
al illumination about the borough that
has never been equalled in any previ-
Gus campaign. Yalesville will send
down quite a delegation. All who in
tend to participate in the parade should
report on Center street as soon as pos
sible after 1880 p. m. Chief Marshal
