 The good news was flashed into Waterbury last night that Governor Henry Roberts and his staff would be in Waterbury on Monday and would occupy boxes at the theater on Monday evening, when the big con- cert for the State Sangerfest takes place. It was known for a certainty that Governor Roberts would be here on one of those days and that he would take part in the parade, but 1t was scarcely believed he would be here for the two days celebration, and the news last night was all the more gratifying. In the other boxes at Polls on Monday evening will sit Mayor Thoms and the other city off, cials, the judges of the prize singing contests and the musical directors of the various societies throughout the state. Tickets went on sale for the concert this morning in the box of- flee at the theater and the sale was most gratifying. Every seat in that house should be filled on Monday night, for the concert is the best that has ever been heard in this state.
 There is one thing that is not gen. orally known, and that is that there will be three prizes awarded to the three best appearing and best march, ing societies in the parade on Tues day. The prizes are now on exhibi- tion, with the prizes for the singing contests, in the window of the Lake & Strobel company. There will be many of the organizations handsome ly and uniquely uniformed, while all will have some distinctive dress. It will be one of the swellest processions that Waterbury has ever witnessed and eight brass bands will make music enough to please the most crit
