It was great to be a member of the Aid society of the employees of the Waterbury Clock Co last evening for they owned the town and everything in 1t. It was the occasion of their an- nual entertainment and concert which they held ill Eagles hall, and it was the finest \nce the organization was established many years ago. The per son who could not be entertained at this affair must have been blue one, a crank of the first water. utterly oblivious of the delights of social com munion. a good time and the pleasures of living It is pleasant thing to be able to say that any large tnterests,is happy, but when about aa,5OO people are concerned in that interest 1t is or more than passing moment. There are about that number on the pay roll ol the Waterbury Clock Co and almost every one of them was in Eagles hall last evening celebrating the annual anniversary of their Aid society. Not since the night when the late Cover nor Altgeld of Illinois spoke there on the occasion of William Jennings Bry- an's first trip for the presidency was there such a concourse in the hall. Then everyone was seated. Last night there were as many standing as were seated. Janitor Quinn .aid that 3.100 people were in the hall, and usually ianitors are good judges of capacity. It was undoubtedly the biggest throng that was ever there.
 The program as printed in the Dem- ocrat started at sharp with fine burst of music from Fulton's orclles- tra. which seemed to have caught the spirit of the night and played it's best. fbn6wihg 'tfiis was the grad mafch, which was led by Miss Julia McCor- mick and Irving Chase. secretary and treasurer of the Clock company. There were about loo couples in the march. The decorations were fine and c0nspic- uous among the bunting were TWO large clocks. one telling the flight of rie happy hours. and the other too big 10 go.
 One of the very pleasant incidents .0fihe eyening.was the presentation of -sl plptty watch Hby Superintendent Lar kin to William W. Munson. one of the founders of the Aid association. This watch was specially made for the oc- casion and will be reminder 10 Mfr Munson of happy days and the estab- lishment of a most helpful organiza- ton.
