PLENTY OF NOISE PRELUDES FOURTH Tin Horns Bray Out Vol tune That Fills Place
 of Debarred In-
 struments.
SPARKLERS APPEAR AS
 PROMINENT WEAPON
Many Calls for Bremen From the Many Big Bonfires About
 City.

New Haven spent one of the noisest nights before the Fourth in many years last night. The throngs about the city streets were very large and while the deadly dynamite canes and blank car fridge reyolyers were under the ban, snappers and tin horns split the ears of any that were not deaf and fire crackers, sparklers and red fire were decidedly in evidence,
 The sparkler, that new form of fre- works was quite prominent during the evening and some very fool-hardy ex- periments with it were tried though so far as learned nothing serious came of them. The crowds marched up and down the principal streets and tiocked about town on the trolley cars.
 Broadway square was the gathering spot, upwards of a thousand celebrants during the earlier part of the evening. The City band under the direction of Henry Nichols rendered an excellent musical program. The effectiveness of  the concert from musical standpoint was marred by the attempts of troops of tin horn fiends to outdo the band They gathered and prayed not even reverence America" at the end of the program.
 Confetto and serpentlne found part also in the program in Broadway and of course colored fire and sparklers were quite in evidence.
 Around midnight the crowds gather ed about the big bonfres that roared up making lurid the deep sky in many parts of the city Several calls were made for the fire companies where bon- fires had gotten beyond control. Among the largest were those at the Six Ger ners, at Washington and Columbus avenue, Hallock and Columbus, Hum phrey square and on the Mill River Meadows.

The report went on to say that Mayor studley was not Ike ly to ask for the chiefs resignation and Colonel Ullman desired to take ad- vantage of his absence from the city.
 When Chief Wrinn was shown the article last evening he smiled quietly. He read it through, then said, Its all nonsense. haven't a better friend in the world that Colonel Ullman. We are the best of friends.
 When I retire from the chiefship it will not be because any one has asked me to do so. know now that I will not be asked to resign and may stay here as long as wish to- didn't think once that it would be so but now I know 1t is, and it is pleasant to feel that way
 "The mayor does not want mo to re- sign and the others also tell me they don't want me to do so."
 Asked the question, When you are retired, then, it will be because you asked to be?" Exactly" was the chiefs answer.
 Continuing, the chief smiled and said: q won't annoy them very long-if they call it annoyance" He did not pursue the subject any further however.
