The costuming and scenery were very beautiful and the announcements Icy herald in costumes of mail very in teresting and enlghtening. The music by the chorus rendering national airs was also very effective. In this Mans field was assisted by E. F. Cross, a former resident and Mrs. and Miss Beebe of Willimantic. Credit is es- pecially due the chairmen, MT. and Mrs. o. A. Perry whose generosity and work assured the success of the entire affair. The ice cream was also fur niShed by MT. Perry as a donation to the Library and to Mrs. Perry much of the success of the beautifully set tab leauX is due.
 The affair was under the auspices of the Mansfield Library, an institution which without definite support of some kind, is furnishing free library service to the town, and netted that institution about $100. Help furnished at this time by various committees, served by the Library, was especially appreciat- ed.
 The most interesting display on the Fourth in this city was provided by Charlie Wong, the Church street laundryman, who with his assistants set off several thousand real Chinese crackers on Church street shortly after o'clock.
