TOWN TOPICS. A PLEASANT GATHERING AT
 LAKESIDE. STATION AGENT c. B. TAYLOR GETS
 

l U. B.
 SOME OF HIS FRIENDS TOGETHER.
 We are very particular to say, in the
 caption, that Station Agent c. B. Fay
 Tor gets some of his friends together.
 He could not get them all tog gether,
 not at least at one time. He could
 not for two reasons: first, because they
 are so numerous that no picnicking
 place could hold them all; and, second
 because, like himself, they are all
 pretty fair eaters, and no company of
 wives or SWeetheartS would care to un- dertake the task of cooking sufficient supply to go around. Although MT Taylor jumps about at the station as spry as cricket and can smash Sara togas with any young man, he still is a good deal older than he looks. He is slipping along some where past "the dead line of 50," and still jolly you bet.
 His birthdays come and go with start ling rapidity; and, unlike the mem- bers of the weaker sex who are silent on this touchy point he proclaims the fact to the world every year that he is getting older by roasting corn and bak- ing clans. His friends gathered on Saturday of last week at Taunton lake to the number of half hundred or less l and did Mine Host royal honor by eat ing we'll and having a generally good l time. The gentlemen of the party l waxed warm with enthusiasm of the occasion by roasting the corn to deep dye of blackness, and the ladies second- ed their efforts by flanking the corn and clans with pie and what-not. Some faces showed some soOty marks after the feast, but at picnics you do not expect everyone to be the pink of neatness. Timetables which had been left for the postponed Congregational Sunday-school picnic furnished just the right support for upholding the weight of good things illus tration of Hts an ill wind that blows l no one good" Some black clouds and | angry rumblings cut the picnic short by an hour or two, but it was the much l of pleasure in a little space of time. L Members of the following households | Hubbell, J. B. Wheeler, A. c. Moore, Rev Otis w. Barker, R. Martendell of New Haven, Robert D. Sammis of Stratford, W. M. Reynolds, George F. Duncombe, D. c. Bacon and L. c. Nor ris. Besides these families there were in the company: Arthur T. Nettleton, Miss Mary Lamport of New Haven; Miss Belle Wright of New York, Miss Edith Morse of New Haven and Miss Etta Martin and iMr and Mrs E. J. Hall.

The good taste and modest conti- dence of the eleventh annual circular of the Courtland school, now in our hands, is such as one would expect from that excellent and we'll eStab- lished school. The senior principal is Miss Marble, who began her success not, in the old NewtOWn academy, and whose helpful enthusiasm one pupil of those days remembers. The past good work in Bridgeport of both Miss Marble and her associate, Miss Minor, is such as to insure for their patrons the best possible training for their girls. The school gives full college preparation and has on it's advisory board Rev Dr Palmer, MT Waldo of the Standard, Judge Beardsley, Dr Blodgett and Judge Seymour.

a century. The Democrats likewise OBJ

city government, elected their street
commissioner, s. a. Charles. and prac-
tically all their candidates for the
school commission. AS usual the city
voted strongly in favor of license.
The result of the canvass was fully
as much a surprise to the Democrats
as to their opponents. The most san
guine Democratic prophet last night
only gave 1000 yet the plurality was
nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor
Hart defeated General Collins by 2.2S1
votes and polied something over &C, 900.
This year the total Republican vote for
mayor was a tTife over 80, geo, the
smallest given a party candidate for
mayor since 1898, despite a registration
almost so per cent larger than then
Yet General Collins received over. 81. 600
