and Well Worth Working For.
 A notable representation of the llt-
 tie folks of New Haven held high car
 nival at Savin Rock yesterday after
 noon. It was the occasion of the third
 annual baby show given at that popu-
 lar shore resort. The almost unbound
 ed success which marked the two for
 mer shows was indeed overshadowed
 by the one of yesterday The show has
 been the talk of hundreds of admiring
 and proud mothers for several weeks
 past and they have been unusually at- tentive to their little ones that no &C., cident might befall them which would deter their being present when the prizes were awarded. The prizes were indeed something worth devoting many
 hours of labor for and the most devot- ed. hard working mothers were the ones who carried off the beautiful prizes. An immense tent was pitched in the ball ground just in front of the grand stand, thus affording ample op- portunfty for all to exhibit their prec- ious offsprings to advantage and also enabling all spectators chance to see
 everything that was going on. The babies and their mothers or nurses be-
 gan to arrive about 2:30 and by 4 o'clock when the parade was forming
 the scene was indeed a. happy one. There was @ kaleidoscope of color, with big babies and little babies blue eyes,
 brown eyes, gray eyes, black eyes, woolly heads, golden curls, jet black
 curls, with dresses of every description
 and color, in all, a happy prattling, coo ing crowd of young American babies,
 who would have made those who ef- fected to despise babies forget them selves and their hatred, and join in | their happiness and glee. There was also a crowd of devoted and painstak- | ing mothers who though happy were a | bit anxious to know whether their | brides were to be chosen for one of the ! prizes. It was withal a scene which | will be long remembered by all present. Fully 2,000 people saw the babies. The | parade formed at the gate of the ball | park some of the babies were in their
 carriages, which had been decorated | for the occasion, others carried by their | mothers and nurses.
 | There were 106 babies in the line.
 The parade moved out through the grove and around the park back to the | ball ground where the prizes were awarded. The judges were three ladies chosen by the audience in order that | the selections made might be as fair as possible. There were complaints, of | course, but this was to be expected.
 Each mother thinks her children lit | tie bit prettier and more cunning than l anyone else's and consequently more l deserving of prize. But the judges | were very fair and impartial, giving I prizes to those whom they thought de- | serving. The prizes and winners are l as follows:
