rRAvELED TO GOOD TIME.
Something Really New In the Way es
 an Entertainment.

Those who were the recipients of the following invitation were excited almost to the point of spontaneous combustion before the night indicated on the card arrived.
 In spite of the Hepburn bill they did not hesitate to accept these passes:
 Pass issued to MT. and Mrs Blank. to tine residence of Mir. and Mrs. Grundy.
 Good only on the 11th day of March.
 From s:5O until morning Please appear
 Every one entered into the spirit of the occasion and arrived carrying satchels, suitcases, shawl-strapped bundles and bird cage or two, not forgetting band boxes. Linen dusters. veils and caps, ulsters and old-fash. toned shawls added to the comical ap. pearance of the guests. They were met at the door by the host in uni. form and carrying lantern. The walls were completely covered with timetables and train bulletins. which showed most of the trains late" The staircase bore a huge sign marked baggage" and obliging porters" assisted the travellers" up- stairs.
 On descending they went into tho "den," which had been converted into waiting room" and ticket oface." Here they received tickets" dis. tinctive kind for men. each marked with the station from which they were to start. Passing through turnstile. they found their. stations, or tables. and promptly after the blast of a whistle and the ringing of bell the train was of and the game WAS on. In this case 1t was "Cinch."
 There were the general interruption of newsboys, candy and popcorn vendors, and conductor punched the score. All of sudden the lights were turned out, and a cry of robbers, "hold-up men," etc, added to the con. fusion. The lights were turned on, re- vealing masked men. who in most gentlemanly manner proceeded to rob the passengers. After this the game continued, but there were pickpockets in the room who kept things stirred up in a most amusing fashion. "Twen- ty minutes" were allowed for refresh. ments, which were served in railroad style.
 Prizes were distributed consisting of a travelling drinking cups. umbrel. la straps, a money bag. soap case and toothbrush case and shawl strap.
 After this the unclaimed baggage" was auctioned on and caused untold merriment. These articles had been arranged by the hostess and the wit of the company disposed of them in a side-splitting manner. The pick. pockets were arrested and all "vAlu- | ables" recovered. The souvenirs were hat boxes, suit cases and miniature trunks. | MADAME MERAi.

held in the Auditorium, cnurcH committee was appointed as follows: John Hayican, John B. Finley, James Coughlan, Francis Reed, John c. Altman, Thomas F. Halpin, Will liam Delaney, Timothy F. Meehan, John H. Calvin. The lay trustees chosen by this committee were James ]. Cassin and James Coughlan.
 After looking over the field Father Curtin decided that the corner of Washington and Baldwin streets was the most suitable place to locate per- manently, and small strip of land running along the north side of Washington street from Baldwin street easterly was purchased from the Waterbury Buckle Go, and steps taken to erect frame structure thereon. The contract was awarded to Michael O'Connor, who with John Loftus and big force of Workmen pushed the work to completion in a few months so that it was ready for occupancy on April 22, 1896, and the first mass in the new structure was celebrated on that date. On May 30, 1896, the church was dedicated by Right Rev Bishop Tierney. The sermon was preached by the Rev Father Skelly.
 The balance of the church proper ty, including all the Ney tract, was purchased on December 3, 1902, and soon after plans were completed for the permanent structure which will be dedicated tomorrow. The corner stone was laid on November 1, 1903 by the Right Rev Bishop Tierney. Rev w. J. Slocum, since elevated to the dignity of domestic prelate, preached the sermon. The base ment was dedicated on November 12, 1905 by Right Rev Bishop Tierney, who also confirmed class of 274 children. The sermon was preached by Dr Mccoy of Worcester. Since that time service has been held in the basement and the upper floor will be used for the first time to- morrow. The new church is in the Gothic style of architecture. The main tower is 40 feet in height; it is 144hs feet in length and 80 feet in width. It is constructed of brick with trimmings and foundation of Longmeadow brownstone. The main auditorium is S6 feet long and 6S feet wide and will seat about 1900 people. There is a double vestry 30 feet deep extending the entire width. The vestibule is 16 feet deep and extends the full width of the church. In the front of the ga ble is a rose window of great artistic beauty and over this, in niche, is statue of St Francis Xavier.
 The church was designed by Chickering & O'Connell and Edward Bergin & Sons were the contractors. The heating and plumbing were at tended to by M. J. Daily & Sons. During the progress of the work on the church the handsome rectory that stands on the north side of the edifice was built.
 The corner stone of the rectory was laid in 1903, Rev J. J. Curtin and Father Fleming had charge of the ceremonies. The stone is the gift of T. F. Jackson and is orna- mented with a Celtic cross and the date, August [, 1903. The build. ing is of brownstone. the same as the church.
 The Rev J. J. Curtin. a native of New Britain was ordained to the priesthood in the Grand seminary
