BRADLEY MARTIN RIVAL.
Norries Open the New York Season
With a Sumner at Delmonico's.


New York. Dec. 27.-The leaders Of.
Gotham's society, in spite of jealousies
and chickering's and heartburnings, have
undoubtedly decided that the present
sOci@zseason is to be as gay as they
make them.
Never before in the towns history
have so many elaborate functions been
planned.
At least half a dozen of the dinner
dances" booked for the Astoria, Del
mOnicO'S and Sherry's will call for Law
tsh expenditure, and more than one will
represent a heavier outlay than the
famous Bradley Martin ball. Tonight
at DelmOnico's the Lanfear NOrries will
squander a fortune in order to give
young girl a great send off The enter
tainment is one of the most elaborate OF
It's kind ever given in the metropolis. 1t
is stated that ''Dels' rOOmy and gOr-
geous establishment is entirely at the
disposal Of the guests. and that the
public will not be admitted to any part
of the house after 10 o'clock. This is the
only instance since the Bradley Mar
tin ball OF such an action. Two crack
Orchestras will play, and there will be
q cOtlliOn, the faVOrS for which came
from Paris. Then there are the flow
ers and the wines and the solids and
whole lot of other costly side issues. 1t
is quite safe to say that $4,000 to $780,
900 viii be blown in by the millionaire
who has hired DelmOniCO'S cafe, dining
rooms and ball rooms for this bleak
December night in order to startle so
ty and and OutShine the nOtOriety-Seek

After tOnight's aristOcratic orgie so
ciety and Outshine the notOriety- seek
when the AStOrS and their family con-
uections will set the society pace with
a series of balls, dinners and suppers
that will keep their set busy
These AstOr functions, it is said, will
cause many heartburnings, as they will
be very exclusive.

Sheriff Cook Goes hunting

Sheriff-elect Porter S. Cook and Tom
Doran have returned from two days
hunting trip in the vicinity of Dover. Be
sides a bruised shoulder and torn clothes.
Mr.. Doran brought back p quails and IL
squirrels. He says that he happened to
have a gun that seemed built to punish
the sportsman every time he fired it and
it kicked him around numerically. While
the two were hunting they were fixing
up the slate Of the deputies who are to
assist Mr.. Cook when he becomes sheriff
and those who are anxious about the pO-
sitions may be able to find out who are
to have the places. But neither Mr. Cook

A CURIOUS FREAK OF NATURE,

A curious freak of nature is that of lilac bush growing at the residence of Mrs o. D. Estey. One would naturally think that the place where Mrs Eetey lives would be about the coldest and most unpromising place in the world, for lilac bush to think of putting forth buds at this season of the year. But that is just what has happened and this lilac bush has budded just as if it was early spring. Doubtless some of Mrs Estey's summer boarders who came there in the summer to enjoy the bracing air of that elevated region, and who have been won- dering how any one can live there in the winter, will be surprised to hear of this evidence uf the mildness of thesmid winter weather around the only place in town where it seemed possible to keep coo during the hot summer weather.

THE ROAD QUESTION THE TALK OF THE Those who went to Winsted, last Mon- l day, to be present at the hearing grow l ing out of the damages and assessments l levied on the property owners along the line of the new highway had quite a l lively time of it but the time they had in Winsted was evidently tame compared l with the furore, which the case has creat-
 ed at home. Go where you will it is the prevailing topic of conversation and
 almost every time you run across group
 talking the statement is reiterated, "Why didn't the selectmen let the matter alone
 and wait until some one who thought
 themselves injured brought suit against
 the town to recover damages ?" It is m-
 possible to determine just who the state-
 ment originated with but upauestionably it has become the stereotyped phrase to | offset anything which may be said in favor of the action taken by the select men. This case is the first in the state
 of this nature growing out of the new highway law, and is being watched with interest by other towns, and if damages are assessed or benefits awarded it is safe to predict that there will be trouble in 1 other towns for the selectmen as we'll as here. At the hearing, which was before Judge Fenn of the Superior court, the whole question was freely discussed by those interested. Judge Fem after out lining the situation said he would appoint three commissioners. E. c. Marggraff asked that lawyer be appointed on the commission. To this Selectmen Harper demurreo for the reason that he thought a lawyer would cost more than any one else. He was overuled, however, and the folio wing commissioners was appointed i: Chairman, Judge Welch of Torrington, Byron Futile of Plymouth and E. L. Frisbie of Waterbury.
