 The water carnival on the Quinnipiac river Monday evening was a great suc- cess and was witnessed by crowds of people. It is estimated that on Quin- nipiac drawbridge there were fully 5000 pople. In anticipation of great crowd Director Coe had decided not to have the bridge opened, fearing accident and among people in the boats there was considerable disappointment. One of F.. Mansfield's & Sons steamers was to have steamed through the bridge and lowed number of the fiotilla. but she was not allowed to pass. There was considerable discussion of the points of marine law, but it was thought by most people that it was wise not to open the draw with such crowd on the bridge. The committee consisting of John J. Dayton, Burt Bradley and Ava H. Grannis, carried out the plans well and very successful outcome was the re- suit. There were about twenty boats in the parade and they were prettily decorated with flags and bunting and illuminated with lanterns. The parade was very pretty and will long be re- membered by those who witnessed it.
