The Coming Great Parade.

Meeting of Business Men-Gilmore's Band
 Electric Lights-The Meeting This
 Evening.
 meeting of Republican business men who are interested in the great parade which is to take place in this city on Wednesday evening next, was held in Exchange Hall last evening. Colonel A. J. Beers presided, and James Howarth was secretary. Owing to the severe storm there was not large atten- dance.
 William J. Bradley, from the committee on music, reported that an unsuccessful effort had been made to obtain the American band of Providence for the parade, and it was now proposed to obtain Gilmore's celebrated band of forty pieces, should such proposal meet with the wishes of the business men. The general expression of those present was that Gilmores band. should be engaged, but after discussion final decision was deferred until this evening, when it is hoped there will be full attend ance of all interested. The young business men of the city are cordially invited to par ticipate in this demonstration, and are re- quested to be present this evening.
 The committee on fireworks, through Col. Beers, reported that they had with difficulty secured fireworks sufficient for the celebra- tion. The committee were instructed to pro- cure two calcium lights and more if necessary. An electric light offered by Messrs. Wallace, of Ansonia, was also considered with favor. Fred. Hart, from the committee on refresh ments reported that many of the Republican ladies had expressed a wish to do their part in furnishing refreshments for the occasion, and that meeting of the ladies would be held at the Atheneum this afternoon at 23o o'clock to make suitable arrangements. The meeting, which was a very enthusiastic one, was adjourned until this evening at 7:3C o'clock in Exchange Hall, when it is expected
 that there will be large meeting of the Re- publican business men, old and young.

 Be sure and go to the first football game of the season this afternoon. It promises to be a good game as Rutgers is reported to have strong team.
 Yesterday morning President Porter re- quested the students to remain in their seats a few moments after the religious exercises There was much speculation as to the reason The curiosity was effectually satisfied when he said: ''Serious complaints have been made to me, by the chief marshal, about the dis 1. turbance caused by certain of the students Wednesday evening when the Democratic procession was passing the colleges. I should think those who were to blame for this dis turbance would remember the occurrence that took place few weeks ago, and remem- Der also how the whole college suffered on ascount of the thoughtless act of a few" While we admit that the presidents remarks were very just and well timed, we cannot help thinking that it was very childish thing for Chief Marshal Healey to go to Pres ident Porter and make such a fuss about the matter. We cannot help thinking that MT. Healey would like to make political capital out of the matter He evidently forgets that every procession, be it political or otherwise, meets with much the same reception at the hands of the students that the procession did last Wednesday night. Perhaps he also forgets how dozen or more men followed the Republican procession of October 18th and kept up a continued footing" on tin horns.

Gospel Union.

Annual Meeting Election Of Officers
 Reports.
 At the annual meeting of the Gospel Un- ion, held at Center church chapel, Professor Harris of Yale presided. Several amend ments were made to the constitution, and the following were elected officers for the ensu- ing year :: President, Franklin Carter; secre- tary, Charles Fabrique; treasurer, B. s. Wheeler directors, Professor Garter, Charles Fabrique, E. s. Wheeler, B. B. Bowditch, Hiram Camp, c. E. Graves, Charles P. Arm strong, Rev. Dr. Harris Rev. B. s. Lines, Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., John c. Collins. The report of the treasurer showed that the receipts of the year were $2, S19.35, expenses $2, ,S7379, leaving deficit of $54.44; but $11O are yet due the treasurer, which, when received, will leave surplus of $55.56. The expenditures also include $500 which were expended in taking the religious census. The accounts were audited by Messrs. William Franklin and John L. Franklin. From the report of MT. Collins it appears that the work, which was at first in part to afford tenn porary relief in cases of need, had come du- ring the past year to be wholly gospel work, and aims to teach the gospel to those without it. The following estimates were given, show ing the need of the work, viz That out of a Protestant population of 27,000 persons over four years of age, 9, 3O9 were under no rei- gious influence according to the religious census, which was completed last June. The attendance at the Sunday night meetings was from 100 to 600. The Sunday school has 228 members, and as to the temperance work, 800 had in two years signed the pledge. The mems free reading room is to be carried on again the coming winter, and opened as soon as election is over. Four hundred young men visited it last year. MT. H. W. Farnam has kindly consented to take an interest in this work and the reading room will be much improved. The penny savings bank had shown good results. During the eighteen months since starting it, the number of de- posits was 146; present amount in bank, S6O 6S
