 Between eight and nine hundred per sons who had gathered at the Sterling opera house Sunday morning at g o'clock to attend the annual memorial exercises of the Derby lodge, B. P. O.. E., but especially to hear the Hon. William Jennings Bryan speak, were sorely disappointed. MT. Bryan arriv- ed in this city early in the morning but could not remain on account of sickness in the family and also for certain matters that had been arrans- ed for him in New York and he left at SIS o'clock. At the opening of exercises when Rev. Charles Mason Gross, of Ansonia, on behalf of the Elks, made the announcement that Mir. Bryan could not be present, a disappointment was plainly written on the countenances of all present, and many in the back of the balcony and orchestra got up and left the opera house
 With the exception of this disap- pointment the large number present nenjoyed the impressive ceremonies, The whole opera house was decorated lt.. of lodge while the stage with the entire . membership of the lodge arranged in an artistic manner about the officers, made very fine appearance. The fol- , lowing is the order of the program rendered It had to be changed a llt- tie owing to the fact that just as the exalted ruler was about to begin the opening ceremonies the electric current in the house became out of order and it took some time to get things settled out.
