A Concert Given There by Well Known
 New Haven Artiste

A Concert Given There by Well Known l New Haven Artiste
 The Torrington correspondent of the was the scene of a large gathering of Waterbury American writes the follow ing concerning a concert given in Tor rington Monday evening by well known New Haven musicians and vocalists
 The Center Congregational church people last evening to hear the render ing of the fine musical programme which had been in anticipation for sev- eral days. The decorations were very pretty. The recital was opened by an organ solo given by Harry Rowe Shel- | ley. The organ has been entirely re- modelled by H. Hall x Go. of New Ha- ven, snd contains two manuals and pedals and 750 speaking pipes. By his artistic performance MT. Shelley dls- played the merits of the grand instru- ment to a wonderful degree as he pro- eeeded from the difficult runs and deli- cate trills of Rubenstein's Allegretto to the grander strains of the March Nup- tiale
 The violin solo, Romance" and the Hungarian dance given by Isadore Troostwyk of New Haven were worthy of the great appreciation shown by the audience. They were musical gems per- formed with a delicacy and skill In which the artists touch was always ap- parent. Mir Troostwyk was repeatedly encored and responded with selection whose plaintive melody held the large audience in rapt attention. The rendering of the difficult aria from the Queen of Sheba" by Ericsson Bushnell was magnificent The grand- eur of MT. Bushnelrs voice has not been overestimated. The range of compass is indeed remarkable, and all who heard him laet night must acknowledge it a rare treat.
 The appearance of Miss Elizabeth C.. Gaffney of New Haven and New York was warmly applauded, showing how great a favorite she is with Torrington people. She was becomingly gowned in rich white material, elaborately decor .ated with brilliants. Miss Gaffneys rendering of the Bach Gounod Ave Maria" was thoroughly enjoyed. She was free from all affectat1on. The notes of this song, sacred to all, floated over the listening audience like bene- diction. She received several bouquets. MT Troostwyk's violin obllgato added to the beauty of the rendition.
 To lovers of organ music the render ing of the seventh number, Largo" by MT. Shelley will long be remembered. MT. Shelley proved himself an artist in each number.
 At the close of the number Miss Gaff- hey delighted the audience by singing, as an encore, 'The Plaid shawl"
 Sweet be Thy Rest" was the next, given by MT. Bushnell and was well re- ceived.
 The recital closed by the organ solo "Fantasie'' by MT. Shelley, also very en- joyable

Swindled by Bogus Checks Passed by a
 Slick Individual.
 Winsted merchants were swindled a few days ago by a slick crook who gave the name of J. +. Grace of Mon mouth, N. J. He called at the residence of Francis Sage on the New Hartford road Wednesday evening of last week, and inquired about the price of three farms, giving the impression that he intended to purchase one. He remained at the Sage house until Friday after noon, when he went to Winsted, ac- companied by MT Sage, and visited the stove store of Mills E. Norton and the former place he purchased one of the best ranges and other goods, aggregat- ing s56, and rendered in payment a check on the State Bank of Hartford for $6S. MT Norton cashed the check, giving Grace SIP. Grace said he would call or send for the stove Monday. At Larkins' store he bought goods to the amount of $21 and presented another check on the State Bank of Hartford for $3S.50. Larkfn accepted the check Grace told Mir. Sage he would let him know Monday which farm he wanted On Monday Messrs Norton and Larkin were notified that the checks were worthless.
 Grace is about six feet tall, with sandy moustache. While in Winsted he wore a dark faded overcoat over short sack coat

Spring Meeting of the Association to be Held Here.
 At the spring meeting of the Connec- ticut Civil Engineers and Surveyors association, which will be held at New Haven the latter part of this b1onth, the subject of water supply and water storage will be considered.
 During the past year in most of the cities in the state the water supply became low enough to cause apprehen- sion and it is hoped by the exchange of ideas on the subject among the en- gneers that the wisest plan to pre- vent the recurrence of such conditions will be ascertained.
 The members of the association will each fill out blank which contains q number of questions pertinent to the subject. It is expected that Desmond Fitz Gerald. superintendent of the Metropolitan water board of Boston, will be present at the meeting and give an address on the subject.

Geisha dances Jinriksha parties, Buddist funeral processions, and many quaint street scenes will be found among them. Seats on sale Fri day, 25c soc, 75c, $1.

The sailing Of the Boston boats each
evening has come TO be something Of an
event In Portland. The management Of
the Portland Steamship Co. daily re-
ceives congratulations on the fine
service that has been given this summer.
Every night great many people visit
the Eastern promenade 70 witness the
magnificent illumlnstions on the Bay
State and Governor Dingley, while the
Cape and island shores are . blaze Of
light for miles. The manner In which
the two steamers have been illumIned
this summer has been most effective.
Owing to the fact that the Bay State has
q walking beam she IL, perhaps, the
finer sight OF the two, for all along this
moving beam, outlining It's shape, are
incsndescent lights. On the upper deck
from stem TO stern are festooned long
rows Of incsndescent lights on both the
port and starboard sides. This display,
with the mvrisds OF twinklIng lights
that fash from state room windows,
combine To form beautiful scene ss the
steamer moves out into the darkness.
At a little distance the lights on the
walking beam have the effect Of writh-
Ing serpent OF nsme plunging up and
down In an inky background. Although
the Governor Dingley has no walking
beam upon which to arrange lights her
decorations are no less complete, for
long strings Of incsndescents hang from
the mast heads and along the upper
deck. These throw into prominence the
fiuttering bunting which adorns the
handsome craft.
The sailing Of these steamers ID watch
ed for each night and bonnres, blazing
torches and swaying Chinese lanterns
along the Cape shore keep Captains
Thompson and Dennison busy blowing
answering salutes from the deep-toned
whistles. One evening, some people
kindled q huge bonfire on Cushing's
island. Then two men were ready with
old brooms which had been soaked 10
kerosene oil. As the DIngley passed
these were lighted and the torch bearers
took positions, one on each side Of the
fire, and waved their flaming beacons.
The effect as viewed ct . point on the
Cape shore was striking and the Dingley
footed her acknowledgement OF the a.
lutte until she had long passed the leland.
