 WEDNESDAY PARADE.
 The parade, Wednesday, at p. m., was very creditable and was an excel lent beginning. That it was the suc- cess 1t was is due largely to the efforts of Prof Ross Jewell and Mrs Herbert w. Wright. At the head of the pro- cession marched Wheeler & Wilson's band, followed by the High school, 50 strong, with John Houlihan at the head bearing large flag. Then came the pupils, each carrying a flag. The material for the flags cost BIO, which shows the public spirit of the popular principal and his pupils. Then came the decorated cart of Pootatuck Grange, in which rode Misses Mabel the enormous old-fashioned callash bonnets, loaned by Mrs G. F. Taylor and Miss Julia Prindle. The hand some oxen used on this wagon were kindly loaned by Samuel Peck, the cattle expert of Watertown. Follow ing this was the handsome float of the Walnut Tree Hill school decorated un- der the direction of the enterpriSing and popular teacher in that district, Mrs Gaffney. Dodgingtown had a handsomely decorated cart, followed by decorated wagon from Betts x Betts and a cute take-of on the Sandy Hook Fire Co. Mrs A. w. Bassett drove her handsome horse attached to the l725 wagon, kindly loaned by A. M. Briscoe & Son. PoOtatuck Grange was awarded the first premium, the | Walnut Tree Hill school the second, and the DodgingtOwn school the third. A discretionary premium was awarded the Sandy Hook Fire Co. The judges were H. H. Peck, Henry M. Smith and Hon H. l.. WanZer.
 THE MAIN BUILDING. Thanks to the energy of Wilson M. Reynolds there was not vacant space in the large exhibition building. At the right of the south entrance was the shining stove exhibit of Ezra J. 1 Hall, who was on hand to explain the taking points of the Stamford ranges, ] Model Stewart, Stamford Oak, Round Oak, and Splendid Oak heating stoves. He also showed many other makes of stoves. The stove exhibit is one of the sights of this building.
 One of the local industries was rep resented in the very neat display of lace curtains and draperies manufac: tured by the New England Lace Go. of Hawleyville. Many of the curtains were of rich design. John Drew, the proprietor and manager of the compa- ny, was in charge of the exhibit.
 Very pretty in arrangement and in exceeding good taste was the booth of BettS & BettS, the Sandy Hook mer- chants. In the center was case of perfumery and choice toilet goods, while above this was bottled goods, olives, pickles and cereals. The cell ing was adorned with tissue paper. The arrangement was due, we judge, to the good taste of the genial Ralph G. BettS, who is now about and enjoy ing first rate health.
 | R. H. Beers & Co. had a creditable and handsome exhibit midway in the hall, consisting of dress goods, of vari- OuS kinds, feStOOned on the wall and overhead. This was frightened up with Japanese umbrellas of bright col bring, making pretty show.
 Peck x Lines of Bridgeport had thelr usual large exhibit, in charge of the affable F. w. Tomlinson. They gave away souvenir whips, which were much sought after by young and old. harnesses, Rubberhide rubber boots. They are popular firm, and deserved ly, too.
 | George F. Bakers large and attract i've booth contained handsome oak dining furniture, parlor furniture and the like. MT Baker and his assistant, | Miss Blackman, looked after the ex- hibit.
 Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, the Sandy Hook merchants, had creditable ex- l hibit, including smart trunks and ba gs, blankets, robes, and the International Stock food.
 Enterprising A. L. Donkey of New Milford furnished music for the con- pany which constantly gathered about | his booth, exhibiting the Weiser Brothers, Henry & s. G. Lindeman and Kingsley pianos.
 | Near the south door Patrick Cannon occupied his old corner with his dis play of apiarian goods, which would have done credit to any big house. He showed hives of bees at work, honey in bottles, and other goods in his line His booth was decorated in good shape, | for MT Cannon never does anything half way.
 $. E. Sanford & Co.,, the merchants of the Street, made an interesting ex- hibit of cereals and table necessities WHAT BUSY LADIES CONTRIBUTED TO MAKE THE FAIR A SUCCESS. In the ladies' industrial department the exhibits were not as numerous as a | year ago, but the display was credit able. It was evident that the substi- tuition of ribbons in one or two depart mentS was not pleasing. In the knit ted goods beautiful knit shawl was shown by Miss Jennie P. Kellogg of Danbury. A very dainty sofa pillow by Mrs Kuschke of Danbury. An ele-
