 Although the Fourth celebration in tf.is city was ushered in as usual with pidnight bonfires and general noisy de- monstrations, there was a marked de- crease in the use of firearms, this GUS tomary feature having been put unde ! lolice han through orders from Mayor Studley for the enforcement of the city ordinance. Forty arrests for violation of his ordinance were made during tna night and early morning, but the police reported that as a general thing the or Gnance was being respected.
 Some nf the m1st interesting features of the celebration were under the aus pices of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, the programme including the firing of salutes at sunrise and sunset at East Rock Park, band concerts, fire works and special patriotic service in Trinity church at S:30 in the morning. Various organizations, including the G. A. R. posts, the Gideon Welles Naval association, the New Haven Historical society the New Haven Business Mems association and fraternal societies as- sisted the Sons of America in the ob- servance Of the day. The programme followed a patriotic service held Sun day under the auspices of the Sons of America, with A. MaXcy Hitler as chairman of the general committee.
 Local Italian societies over twenty in number held a merrymaking at Sch< ut zen park. This was preceded by pa- rade in which twenty societies were in ! whes linen. It was the largest Italian l parade ever held in the city.
 ] The announcement yesterday morn- 1 ing of the many arrests made during !,the night of men and boys discharging 1 firearms contrary to the mayors or l ders, and the fact that these were for the most part given fine of $5 and costs in the city court yesterday morn~ ing caused practically the obliteration of these objectionable features during the rest of the day.
 ,sx,.r 1ok fae ct night every car to and from Savin Rock was crowded, and when it is talk en, into consideration that the cars were running on a schedule of about one minute, some slight idea of the thousands of visitors can be gained. In addition to the local people at the Rock. There was a large attendance three thousand people there from Hol- yoke: three train loads of people from Waterbury bringing Merrimac excur- from Wallingford, Derby and other sion throng and thousands of people places.
