BIG CROWD AT FAIR
Good Entertainment Put on Last
 Night al City Hall.

One of the largest crowds that have yet attended the charity bazaar was present last evening, City hall being packed to the doors. Last night was Eagles night at the fair. at least it was supposed to be, but the place was not held by the birds, 1t was the the young ladies who were the most conspicuous. There were more men- bers of the fair sex at the bazaar than at any similar event held in this city in several years. The entertain ment consisted of solos by Miss Edith Meyers, accompanied by Raymond Hebert, a recitation by Miss Rather inc Mckay, some good dancing by the Ryan brothers, Thomas and Charles, assisted by James Mccoy and songs by Miss Helen Hanion. The entertainment was concluded with series of moving pictures which were very amusing. The floor of the hall was so crowded that there were very little room for the dancers. but the latter seemed to en- joy themselves, although they were forced to accept many bumps. It was big night for the canvassers and was one of the banner nights of the week for the bazaar.

 Will Speak at Dedication.

Hartford, April Ex-Governor
 Woodruff and party will leave We'd
 nesday morning for the Jamestown
 exposition, taking special cars which
 will be attached to the train leaving | this city at 11.06 and New HaHyen
 lat l p. m. The train will probably
 stop at Bridgeport and possibly at
 South Norwalk, but whether these eX-
 tra stops are made or not, the prn-
 cipal starting points for members of
 the party will be the capitol and the
 ex-capitol. The party is expected to
 arrive at Philadelphia shortly after
 $ o'clock and leave a little after mid
 night. Their final destination, the
 Pine Beach hotel, will be reached
 Thursday morning. The day will be
 chiefly devoted to rest, but in the ev- ening there will be reception at the Virginia building, to which Governor
 Claude A. Swanson has invited tue
 Connecticut governor and party and
 at which other governors will be present
 Friday will be opened with sa- llute which will wake Pocahontas, Captain John Smith, Powhatan and |all the rest of the dead and make everybody wish the landing at James, town was not as far back, as a gun will be fired for each year which has elapsed since the founding, 300 in |all. This salute will be fired by the Norfolk Light Artillery blues. Pres ident Roosevelt will arrive on Friday and then will boom out the presiden- tial salute from American and for eign guns. At 1:3O a. m. the pres- ident is scheduled to go on the re- viewing stand, where after prayer by Bishop Alfred Magill Randolph, he will be introduced by Harry St George Tucker, the exposition pres ident and make an address. At the conclusion of the address President Roosevelt will press the golden but ton and the exposition will be open for business. The Star Spangled Banner will be played by the bands and a big military parade will fol- low, which vii be reviewed by the dignitaries, including Governor Woodruff and the chief executives of other states.
 Saturday will be Connecticut day and the state building will be for mally dedicated at 1 p. m. From 2:30 to the Connecticut commission will give reception for Governor Woodruff. At the dedication Gov ernor Woodruff and other represen- tatives of the state will speak. The party will leave for home Saturday evening, arriving in New York Sun- day morning and breaking up there.
 The exact makeup of the Connecti- cut party is as yet unsettled, as a number will not be able to decide whether they can go or not until al- most the last moment. Govefnor Woodruff will be accompanied by his staff and Lieutenant Governor Lake, State Secretary Bodenwein, Treasurer Patten, Comptroller Bradstreet, At torney General Holcomb and many of the heads of other departments. Near ly all of the living ex-governors of the state will also make the trip.

 Philo Newell, who some years ago was doing tricks similar to those done by Brindamour. but who was not such an adept with the cuffs as the performer at the Jacques, enter tained the members of the fire de- partment of Waterbury Brass Co at the smoker in their rooms last even- ing. Newell, just for the fun of it, allowed Ezra Chapman, who at one time was jailer at the Holland coun- ty jail. to adjust a pair of old cuffs onto his wrists, and being cuffed with his hands behind his back la Brin- damour, he endeavored to free his hands. It took him just four min- utes. He then proceeded to do a few other tricks winch seemed difficult, but were easy for Newell. He said he was somewhat out of practice, nevertheless he gave good account of himself and those present were more than pleased with the work of one of their members.

CENTRAL AVE LINES
Maier Kaiser Says Building Lines
 Were in Force Years Ago.

There appears to be some doubt as
 to whether or not there are building
 lines on Central avenue, but Maier
 Kaiser is not one of the doubters.
 Mir Kaiser, with Isadore Chase, F.
 B. Rice, J. B. Mullings. F. N Perry
 and Peter Brooks appeared before the board of compensation at meet ing held on the evening. of July II, 1888, and were heard on the matter.
 A hearing for a similar purpose was also conducted on the same evening relative to building lines on Holmes avenue. It was finally decided to establish lines in Central avenue from West Main to Hillside, and on Holmes avenue from West Main street to Grove street, 15 feet back from and parallel to the street lines. This re- port was approved by the board Of aldermen and the councilmen con- cured. The projects originated with the road board, who passed 1t along to the aldermen, and from there 1t was sent to the board of compensation, composed of c. A. Chap- man, o. s. Northrup and E. L. Fris- bic, who returned it to the court of common council with their doings thereon, benefits and damages being equal. City Clerk Sandland has pre- pared a copy of the record covering this whole matter, from which 1t would appear that the lines refererd to were legally established, but 1t is understood that Colonel Burpee claims that according to the law in vogue at that time, the board of compensation had to be sworn at each and the record does not say that they were sworn, hence the claim that the hearing was illegal.

WILD GEESE FLY
Flocks of Them Passed Over the City
 This Week.

4IlS WCCh.
 Enough wild geese passed through Waterbury this week to warrant the statement that the whole of them
 must have returned to their old haunts along the Canadian coast, where somebody said to-day who
 knows all about the feathered fam
 fly, a very large number of wild
 geese spend the summer months.
 They travel in groups of 25 or 30,
 each coming after the other with such regularity one not familiar with
 their plans would think it the same
 bunch that was doing all the gab- bling. When they get down to busi-
 ness they travel at speed of so or
 90 miles an hour so that it does not take them long to make the trip from the sunny south to the north. Once they start they keep right on until they reach their destination, stop- ping only whenever necessary to pick little food and take a drink. A bunch of them amused themselves for short time the other day at Pearl lakes, but they appeared some- what mistrustful of the natives and the guard never took its eye of the roads leading to the water. Usually they have lunch at Quassapaug and it is said that this is the last stop ping place until they find themselves in the great lakes of Canada and other places in that region where they feel secure from the prying eye of inquisitive man.
