 . EXPOSITION.
New Haven Foot Guard Win Laureis and Connecticut Awakens Great Ap- pIanse and Enthusiasm.


 pIause and Enthusiasm.
 The New Haven Foot Guard return ed here Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from the Buffalo exposition, proud and happy, as we'll they might be, over Con- necticut's part in the Pan American.
 "The Best Day of the Exposition an nounced the Buffalo papers in big type the day after Connecticut day, while the Buffalo Courier said in her head lines, Nutmeg State Beats the Record for Enthusiasm and Crowds Attracted" And so it was throughout the entire city.
 The Buffalo Commercial of June 21 said editorially:
 "The state of Connecticut has nobly done her share in the initia tory work of the Pan-American. The presence here of Governor Mclean and his staff. of such eminent sons and servants of the old commonwealth as ex-Governor Wal Ter and Senator Hawley, of the editors of leading dailies, MT. Osborn, of the New Haven Register, MT. Clark, of the Hartford Courant, MT. Chapin, of the
  presence here of the two battallons of the tme-honored Governors Foot Guard-all this Is a demonstration of Connecticut's interest in the Pan- American exposition that Is as marked and flattering to the city of Buffalo as it is creditable to the grand old state of Connecticut. There is no exaggeration in saying that a military display has never been seen in Buffalo more impos- ing, more splendid, than that presented by the Connecticut military as they pa raded on that long march to the grounds. In that red line were many men who were at the front forty years ago. many men who are the leaders in Connecticut's culture, enterprise, polit- ical life and great educational move ments. But if Buffalo was proud of them, they, too, are proud of Buffalo. Without exception they return loudly praising the exposition and candidly confessing their amazement at it's baau- ty, it's splendor, It's marvellous finish in detail, its matchless display of the elec- trio power. Connecticut has really giv- en to the Pan- American start and impetus that will set in motion the crowd from the east as Minnesota has started the crowd that will come from the west Buffalo will ever gratefully what has been done by Con- necticut and by Minnesota
 The same paper in its local news col umns remarks in an extended and com- article:
 Buffalo people yesterday saw a spec tacle quite as impressive and brilliant as any witnessed here in years. It was the formation and march of the process sion of Connecticut Foot Guards who acted as an escort to Governor Mclean, of Connecticut, and a number of the little New England states most dlstin- guished men. There are not in this co,1n try two more prominent military bodies than the First company of Gov Foot Guard, of Hartford and the Second company of Foot Guard, of New Haven. Both those organizations were In line, and with them were two notable bands and a company of stall wart handsome young men from Wa .erbury, Company G,}of the Second reg ment, National Guard.
 "The formallty was arranged in cele- 3ration of Connecticut day, and it is to he credit of the little state that she made such da<hing and impressive lisplay. It Is questionable if any other I tate in the Union, large or small, will | 10 more than Connecticut did; it is cer- | ain that no finer display will be made. 1 Connecticut Is noted for it's enterprise | md for the elaborateness with which it | ,erpetyates it's reputation.
