THE MISCHIANZA.

Will Make City Hall Popular Place
 Next Week.
 The shades of those old British gen. erals, Sir William Howe and Sir Hen " Clinton are expected to be present at the Mischianza which Co c Is arranging to present before the Waterbury public next week The Mischianza is an Italian word mean ing medley or mixup, and has an inter esting historical significance which the writers of those recent American nov els. Janice Meredith and Revolution. ary Maid' have employed to good ad- vantage. It appears In history that a Mlsch1anZa was the method taken by the British army to pay honor to it's departing chief, Sir William Howe who was succeeded by Sir Henry Clinton. Naturally these now shady generals are anxious to be prsent In Waterbury Mlschianza week to see if Go G's fef- fort in the medley line is the equal of their own.
 They will be royalty received. The old city hall is being fitted LID 10 garb of radiance and beauty that the place never before witnessed. The prevailing color that will impress inc eye of the visitor as he enters the hall Where Of aforetime the statesmen of town meetings held forth to the shin gles, will be red The view of tha main floor will not be visible from The entrance. Passing to the center of the hall the visitor will find himself plac- ed beneath mammoth bell. 30 feet in diameter Of which the chandelier forms the tongue, the whole illuminated with hundreds Of colored electric lights. Here on all sides the prevailing colors Will be red and white. the materials used in decorating of these. colors rad iating in graceful draperies from the bell to the sides of the building.
 In front of the platform where ora ters are wont to expound, the specta- tor will see German garden or restau- ration, with forest in the background and the trees of the garden brilliant Wltn electric lights, where guests are served with German lunches and the beer that cheers but does not inebrlate. roaming in steins borne by the most charming and bewitching German mafdens that all Waterbury can fur nish. AS he pauses to admire he will hear the music of the orchestra which has been engaged to be in constant at tendance at the fete.
 Down the hall further toward the rear will be the Egyptian theatre well arranged to resemble the real nlay- houses of the country Of the Nile with an entrance in every respect a work of art, and that art Egyptian. Here q squad of Co c men will illustrate the difficult dances of the East.
 These are but few of the attrac t1ons Of the fete which is intended to excel all other efforts made in the en- terta1nment line by Co G, an organf- zarlon which has very commendable reputation in this regard. 4 museum Of curios will be found among other at- fractions in which there is one collec- tion which is alone valued at $500
 The idea of Afischianza first came to Co. c at Buffalo last summer. There one evening as Sergeant Lawlor. the r. T. Barnum of the company slept. he had q vision in which he was directed to prepare MischianZa to help Co. c procure funds for the trip to Washing ton this summer. He awoke and com municated the idea to Captain Fitz- patrick who being a believer in dreams pushed this one along as did all the members of the company Since Buff falo no work has been to hard no ey- pense to great to make Co G's Mischi- anza success from every point of view
 Each evening of the fete there will be dancing on the floor Of the city hall between 10 and 12
