THE BEACH MEMORIAL LIBRARY.

THE FORMAL OPENING OF THE NEW
 LIBRARY BUILDING TO TAKE PLACE
 TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER II,
 AT 3 o'CLOCK.-HON F. J. KNasBURY
 THE ORATOR OF THE DAY.-LET Us
 SHOW OUR APPRECIATION OF THE GIFT
 BY OUR PRESENCE.
 For years the founders of the Newtown Library Association have cherished the hope that is common to all those who do not dwell alone in the present, of good time coming. They have dreamed about 8 beautiful library building that was going to rise, which should be ample enough to meet all possible needs of the Association, which should be beautiful enough to be ia joy forever" These hopes have turned into accomplished facts. A beautiful building, we'll adapt ed to it's uses, has risen, not like the fabled Phenix from ashes, but from careful plans of 6 skillful architect. Next Tues day afternoon, December Il, at 2 o'clock the new library building is to be formal ly opened. It is then to be turned over to the Newtown Library Association to have and to hold from this time forth. John Beach of New Haven, brother of the donor, Miss Rebecca Beach, will make the presentation of the building. Rev George T. Linsley, as president, will accept the gift for the association and conduct the exercises. Rev Otis w.. Barker, vice-president of the association, will make the address of welcome. Hon F. J. Kingsbury, noted attorney of Waterbury and personal friend of Miss Beach, will deliver the oration as the chief feature of the program. And now it remains with the Newtown people at large to say what they will do. Their part is to come in large numbers and to listen, to show by sympathetic interest chat they meet Miss Beach's magnificent gift with cordial gratitude. There Is as much in knowing how to receive thing grsciously as in knowing now to give graciously. Let 1t never be said of us auces of gratitude we were found want ing. It goes without saying that we shall not thus be found wanting, but that the building will be altogether too small to accommodate the number who wish to give evidence by their pres snce of their grateful acceptance of the gift. THE BEE takes pleasure in speaking of this as an occasion of the years, for how Tor 2 the influence of this building will go, He who, in a moment, scans the sweep of the centuries alone knows.
