Celebration.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
 AT SANDY HOOK.
A Concert by the Danbury
 Band, Twenty Pieces.
175o People in Attendance.

Thanks to the energy and patriotism of few public spirited Sandy Hook citizens, the town enjoyed the most elaborate Fourth of July celebration, Wednesday, which has taken place in recent years. The heavy showers Of Wednesday morning and the early aft ernoon prevented the ball games which had been scheduled at Ronald Park for the early afternoon, so the public, disappointed in this part or the days program, were the more eager for the celebration of the even ing. The village of Sandy Hook pre- sented festive appearance. The residences of Dr w. H. Kiernan, Hen ry Gibson and s. P. Glover were elab- orately decorated with bunting and Japanese lanterns, while Rev O. O.. Wright. Dr R. N. Betts, Taylor's ho- tel and others, decorated their resi- dences with flags and lanterns. Over the bridge an archway was made or bamboo poles with lanterns suspended at the center. Lighted lanterns were also strung about the triangle across the bridge, the effect being very pret- ty. The crowd in attendance was es- timated at about 1750, Southbury be- ing we'll represented in the assembl- age. The fireworks display was elabo- rate and set off by a committee com posed of Gustavus Betts, Birdsey Sniff fen and Frank Hulse. The pretty display on the boats was managed by Rev O. O. Wright. The concert by the Danbury band was delayed by the late arrival of half of the members or the Danbury band, who came on train on the Highland division. They arrived about 9.2O p. m. Before their arrival the members of the band pres ent played several selections. The program presented was greatly enjoy ed and applause was frequent and hearty.
 The committee, who deserve praise for the success of the celebration, con- sisted of w. H. Stevens, George F. Taylor, Dr w. H. Kiernan, Gustavus Betts and Rev O. O. Wright. Ex- Senator s. P. Glover generously gave the use of his fine lawn for the public, chairs for 200 or more being provided. It made fine place to see the fire works and enjoy the concert. A tent was erected near $. P. Glover's, where young ladies from St Roses served ice cream and cake to a large number of patrons.'

 A very pretty home wedding took place at 172 Bedford street, Stamford, on Friday evening, June 29, Miss Ella Beers Beehler, eldest daughter or Frederick T. Beehler, formerly of Newtown, to 0. Walter Bounty of Stamford. The bride was becominely attired in a gown of cream lace in Princess style, with veil. The officiat- ing clergyman was Rev 0. M. Addison, rector of St John $ church, Stamford. The bride was unattended and entered the room with the groom as the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march greet ed the ears of the guests. They were preceded by the four ushers, Messrs Stewart Avery, Clarence Vail, Harry Smith and George Nelson, all of Stam- ford. The ceremony was performed under floral bell, which, with the other elaborate and tasteful decora- tions of the house, was entirely the work of young friends of the bridal pair. After congratulations had been offered refreshments were served on the lawn, which was lighted by many colored Japanese lanterns. About Il o'clock MT and Mrs Bounty took leave of their friends and started on an east bound train for short wedding trip. They will be at home after July 15, at 495 Summer street, Stamford.

THE MUSICAL KINDERGARTEN.

OMrs J. w. Gordon's pupils enjoy the musical kindergarten more and more. It is astonishing the progress shown in the few weeks of instruction. Through the influence of friends Mrs Gordon has been induced to start classes in Norwalk and Stamford. She will be- gin them in September. These classes will not in any way interfere with her Newtown work. Mrs Gordon spent few days recently in Norwalk and Stamford, looking the field over. She was entertained by Miss. King and Miss Ritchie, superintendent and assistant superintendent of the Norwalk hospi- tai. Miss King is daughter of pr King, we'll known physician of St Catherine, Ontario, and Miss Ritchie belongs to prominent family of Bea- vertOn, Ontario. Mrs Gordon received in her Canadian home rare musical training. Her whole family were mu- sicians and musical critics. Her father, Dr Telgman, was a man of unusual reputation. We are certainly privi- legged to have the benefit of her talents and instruction for our children. An appreciative parent.-[C. A. H. H.
