UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT AT THE NEW
TOWN INN.
Last Saturday evening a varied pro-
gram was given at the Inn, combining
dramatic talent, by Mr. Dickerson of
Bridgeport, and gramophone music by
he Columbia Gramophone Co. of Bridge
port and Paris, which was greatly ap
orecisted by all. Next on the program
vas q spirited contest given by two full
blooded game cocks belonging to Mr.
D umgOld OF the Equitable Life Assur-
n Of lou n In
occasio1ed by the match was intense, so
much so that Bert Flansburgh (whom all
Newtown kuows) imagines he lost So
OF course he would accuse no one per-
sonally, 80 the matter was dropped.
Lastly was the display of fireworks,
which will long be remembered. Upon
arrival of the evening train, loaded with
fireworks, four horse truck was placed
at the disposal of Messrs Leonard and
Drumgold, who Immediately started to
haul the fireworks to the Inn, and on ar
irving there it was discovered that most
of the goods had been destroyed by wa
ter. Consequently, rather than disap-
point the audience, Mr. Drumgold, at
great expense, telegraphed to Messr'
Foster, Besse & Co. of Bridgeport (and
26 other cities), who Immediately for
,Varded small, but very select lot of
skyrockets, which unfortunately shrunk,
owing to the moist atmosphere, on the
way up, necessitatipg Mr. Flansburgh's
personal superintendent over the same,
on account of his "dimiuutive" stature.
Ia conclusion a collection was taken,
which, the treasurer states, was very
disappointing, the audience disappearing
upon the concluding announcement.
Buttons, and I. o. us were very plenti
full and will be returned upon owner
pr wing property.-IW.
