Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-07-30

Everybody says that the lawn at St Francis Xavier church property on Baldwin street is a thing of beauty, but they might go farther and still be within bounds. In addi- tion to being ornamental, it is very useful as anybody can see by the quantity of hay it has yielded this year. The sexton, Patrick Muldoon, is cutting the third crop of grass there to-day and he expects to get at least one more before the season closes.
 Thomas J. Bergin of the north end is travelling through ireland as a number of pictorial postal cards show. One from Rathdowney, Queens county, to John Sayles of Bishop street; another from Larne, Antrim county, to John Egan, and more from Glendalough, and various other places show that Ireland is very picturesque country and that MT Der gin is taking it all in. He says he is having a splendid time. He has been there now some weeks and does not expect to return until early in Octo- Der.

 John Smith, a native of Washing ton, this state, has taken up resi- dence in Waterbury and says he con- siders it very pleasant place to live in. Mir Smith is over 75 years of age, but wouldn't think so. He is hale and hearty and takes delight in call- ing upon the undertakers to see what changes have taken place in the busi- ness since he cared for the dead. He was schoolmate of the late Senator O. H. Platt and often had chat with him about the pleasant times they had when they were pupils at Mir Gunn's school in Washington.
 Ninety couples attended the closing reception of Miss Nellye T. Reeds academy last Saturday evening. The hall was prettily decorated. Souvenirs in the form of fans were given out and were highly appreciated by the guests. The Firefly cotillion, one of Miss Reeds latest novelties, was not only surprise, but an enjoyable | figure. Refreshments were served throughout the evening. At 1 o'clock the guests sang Should Auld Ac- quaintance be Forgot" to the strains or Lallier's orchestera and all voted to meet again at the re-opening re- ception Friday evening, September 21.

 Colonel Cummins's Greater Wild West and Walter Mains Combined Fashion Plate shows arrived in town yesterday afternoon and pitched their tents on the Porter lot, the place where Barnum & Bailey exhib- ited last month. Many people dur | ing the day journeyed to the grounds to watch the men putting up the tents and getting everything in readi- ness for to-day's performance. The parade. the only parade that has been seen in this city this year, started promptly on time this morning and passed through the principal streets of the town. It was a fairly good parade and was the more appreciated because of the fact that it is some time since there has been a circus parade in Waterbury. The show is said to be a very good one and fa- vorabIe comments of the perform ance come from all places where it has exhibited. In Bridgeport during the past week it made big hit. The supply of horses which the show has with it caused much comment. some of the neatest that have appeared in the city in a long time being seen in the horse tent The tents are pitched fin about the same manner as were the Barnum & Baileyis. and it is ex- pected that a big crowd will attend the show this evening
