A COMING ENTERPRISE.

The people of our city cannot have forgotten the affair arranged by the managers os the Leila Day Nursery three years ago, the substantial aid given to this most deserving charity and the pleasure afforded the patrons of the entertainment. It Is of interest to know that such an undertaking is contemplated for the coming Noyem- Der.
 Miss Lila Agnes Stewart of Middle town, N. Y, is to be in charge. She conducted similar affair at Bridge port last May, in aid of the Bridgeport Fresh Air association, and is this summer occupied with carrying out a small kirmess at Lake Placid The enterprise here will be held, as
 before, at the arinory on Meadow street for one week., One feature already de- cided upon will be the representation of a country store, which. as all know,
 gathers upon it's counters and shelves an incongruous assortment of articles.
 The stocking of this store will depend
 upon contributions, which will be
 gratefully received from any or all the shop keepers in our city.
 It is also hoped from this brief notice that some interest may be aroused ir those whose fingers are delft in dainty
 work, and that the supply of attractive and saleable articles for the kirmess may begin very soon to find their way into the hands of those having the af- fair in charge. s..ss.s3z..s ssss3zz...s .s. The names of the officers of the Leils l Day Nursery are here given. Any ol these ladies will be glad to receive aid
 by donations in any line helpful to tht enterprise: I Mrs. J. B. Sargent, No, 51 Churcf

 to refer the bill to the corporation coun-
 sel as there has never been any appro.
 priation made for this matter. The reg.
 ular weekly pay roll was signed, after I which the board adjourned.

1T s4VIN ROCK.
Another Brilliant NIght-FIrsworks
 and lIlumInatioun To-nIght.

The second of the carnival nights at saTin Rock lest night drew out an inn niense crowd. Aside from the brilliant illuminations with Japanese lanterns and electric lights, the principal and most enjoyable feature was the festival of music by Atwater's orchestra and the New American band. The pro- gramme, which was drawn up with ex- .cellent care by Leaders Atwater and Holt. was rendered in splendid style and was source of pleasure to crowd that filled the Concert Park almost to overfowing. The orchestra and band alternated in playing. thus giving near ly two hours of constant music.
 The weather has been so fair the last three days that the illuminations have kept in fine shape. Some of the Japan ese lanterns that had burned out were replaced and to-day some extra ones will be put up for the closing brilliant carnival spectacle tonight.
