Putnam Baby Show q Grea, Success.

Putnam Baby Show nrea' success.
 Putnam l. becoming prominent for its public attractions. musical and oih- eFwi-e. Under musical we must in- elude the great Ba5y show. given in the Bradley Theatre on Wednesday af- iernoon. Such laughing, gurgliHg, growing, smiling happy erosd of iit- tic angelic beings as were never blought together in one place.
 The mammas were also smiling and happy-each one feeling assured that, could the Judges see the depths of grace and teauty, that she did, in her sweet cherub. il would receive the first prize. Only few had their unbiased judgment confirmed by seeing their sweet innocea.4 awarded prizes. But ! alas for the disappointed ones. They could only believe the Judges lacked discernment, or else their notions of beauty differed widely from the COT rect ones that they knew should have decided their sweet darlings were en- titled To the prizes. This eonsoled them and they were happy and smiling once more, and the music that flushed the Theatre continued undiminished Jill the close.
 It will be impossible to describe the efiulgence Of child beauty that filled the Theatre. There would be no need Of A Baby show if il could be described in words. Those who could have wit messed the delightful scene, and did not, deserve no pity. They missed first prize.i
 The Judges were Mrs. Jessie Prescott and Mrs. Gilbert Osborne, of Webster, and Mrs. Alice l.. Potter of Woodstock. We can say nothing in regard to their prize awards. They put us in a 1uan- diary that cornpels Us to say nothing in fear of hurting the feelings of either the prize winning mammas or the losing ones. If we had been a judge We should have given each baby first prize and won the applause Of all the exhibiting mammas.
 Manager kleburt, superintendent Of the show, ably managed the show 10 make Il very successful affair.
 Eneries were made from all the sur rounding town.
