 My dear sir: 1 am in receipt of yours of the 3d. The promise which I made is still good, but 1 am unable at this moment to fix the date. l have made so amany promises since 1 returned from the trip of the Taft party that 1 am afraid to make any more as fear shall go bankrupt on some of them. I was at New Britain last night and at Southport two nights before, and must clear up my calendar, which car rieS me up to the 20th, if l am not mistaken, before I make any more promises. Will write you later in re- gard to the matter.
 Very truly yours,

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

In spite of the inclemency of the wea ther, the Town hail was we'll filed on Friday evening by an appreciative audience, who had gathered to hear the musical and elocutionary program given by the Platt family, who proved themselves delightful entertainers. Miss Platt of New York is the possess or of a powerful and finely cultured soprano voice and all of her solos were sung with pleasing effect. She was al- so very captivating in her imperSona- tions. Her brother, Arthur Platt, of Bridgeport, violinist, charmed all with his beautiful renditions. He showed marked ability, as we'll as the artistic temperament, in all of his selections. Prof Platt of Newtown, the father of the young people, was the piano ac- companist and certainly filled the po- sition well. If these musicians ever come to town again, as it is hoped they will, they will undoubtedly have a crowded house. The program was as follows, after which dancing was en- joyed by the young people. MT and Miss Platt kindly furnished the music. The program:
