LONG HILL.
A PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION.

Long Hill had a notable celebration, July 4, with band concert and fire works. Everything went off without hitch, and every one seemed well pleased to judge lby the comments There were quite few autos and near ly 100 teams and probably 800 or 1000 people present. Dr Gallup did the honors graciously as master of cere- monies. The exercises opened on the Green by the Woodmensy band of Bridgeport with the selection, "Tri- umph of America March," followed by singing of selections by the A. B. c. club of Bridgeport, James Began, 1st tenor, James Mahoney 2d tenor, Ed ward Van Norden 1st bass, Edward Jamison 2d bass. They rendered "Good Night My Starlight, as their first selection in a manner that brought shouts of approval and loud applause from the crowd of people as- sembled. Dr c. N. Gallup then gave short but very entertaining dis course on the discovery of America by Columbus. The band then played medley of patriotic airs and old songs. The quartet sang "Yankee Doodle Boy" effectively. The rector of Grace church, Rev L. R. Sheffield, gave a spirited address on "The Declaration of Independence" The band played "Red, White and Blue," 1.-The Star Spangled Banner" and a medley of popular songs. The quartet sang "Will you love me in December as you do in May" The firework display was very good. The quartet sang "Wait till the clouds roll by, Nellie. '' Next came a selection by the band, and the quartet sang '"The Grand Old Flag" Full credit is due the com mittees who had charge of the differ ent parts of the program, and to the ladies for the elegant spread given the band, quartet and committees, and to all the citizens who so willingly as. sisted to make success of the whole affair.
