High School.
Annual Meeting of the Alumni of the
 Institutfon.

 Annual Meeting of the Alumni of the
 Institution.
 The annual meeting of the alumni of the Hillhouse High School was held last evening at High School Hall, M F. Tyler presiding There was 8 large gathering present. A not able feature of the occasion was very able and scholarly address by Prof. R. F. Leigh ton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., on ''The System of Instruction in Ancient Rome" It was deliv- cred last winter in Brooklyn before the Long Island Historical society. Another impor- tant and valuable feature of the exercises was the able report of the secretary, MT. Fox It regretted the unavoidable absence of How ard Mansfield, lawyer of New York, 8 prominent member of the alumni and spoke in due terms of the excellent address of the evening. The High School fire was then ad- verted to in a serio-comic vein.
 The number applying for admission to the High School yesterday was 2O6, (applause) and the probability was that one of the rooms on the first floor would have to be fitted up for session room. There were 27 applica- tions for admission from persons residing out of town. Reference was made to the loss by death from the alumni ni,-Niss Minnie J. Dinsmoor; to the retirement of two teachers, Miss Prudden and Miss Bliss, and to their successors, Miss Porter and Miss Stevens; also to the prospective change as to the reader, and the introduction of the study of political history, both events hailed with satis- faction. Reference was made with satisfaction to the high standard of instruction in the school and to it's being again an immediate stepping stone to Yale. In 80 it sent class of 10 to college, the firss since '69, and the members in college had reflected honor on the alumni. Pleasant allusion was made to MT. Martin, now of St. Charles College, Ellicott's Mills, Md. That college had been the gamer and Yale had thereby lost capital man for cox swain. The city of New Haven had be- slowed upon these gentlemen a fitting for college and they were acquitting themselves like men. Let the new members emulate their example One of the most distin- guished Vassar has had was an alumnus of the High School whose early death was greatly lamented. At the end of the sum- mer term two of the new graduates would go to Smith College and one to Wellesley. As near as could be estimated, the total number graduated at the High School was 432, of whom 20 are dead, while SIS were women and IA men, Of the alumni who had been pierced Dy Cupld'S arrows ana na0 entered into matrimony during the past year there were Misses Stowe, Cargill, Harrison, Rawling and Bretzfelder and MT. Roberts. Many other facts were given. As the hour was late the election of officers for the ensuing year was postponed one week.

Thev Found Friends and Help.

On Thursday Polish emigrant and fami- 1y, consisting of man, wife and seven ch1l- dren (none of them being able to speak Eng ish) were seen by a lady on York street sit ting in the street on their baggage, the moth- CT of the seven children weeping. The lady, German, seeing their distress, went and spoke to them, found they had come from. New York by the morning boat, and that, ac- cording to their statement, some unprincl- pied person in New York had taken the ad- vantage of their ignorance of the country and language to extract money from them with the promise of procuring them work The lady took compassion on them and came with the man to the Town Agent who gave them note to the Associated Board of Char ities, where they were taken in and supplied with dinner and supper, for which they were most grateful. The whole family Of nlns persons were sent down to Belle Dock by the Boards team, their appearance seated upon their baggage making quite novel sight and attracting considerable attention. The Town Agent granted them free pass to New York, this being considered the best thing to do on account of their not understanding the Ian guage The whole family were ruddy and healthy. One of the Selectmen who con versed with them regretted they could not be kept in this State, they being such stur- dy, promising family.

 The annexation question is the topic of the day, and there seems to be a very general and strong feeling in the borough in favor of it. Arguments are brought up in the stores in favor of it, one being that the city of New Haven will acquire a large addition to it's grand list, which will take care of the interest on the debt to be added, while it would cost the city nothing additional to govern the borough. There are valuable water fronts to be gained for the city, and the fine building sites would be increased in value. There would be no extra expense for school privi- leees, while the borough would gain the ben eft of the New Haven school system. These and other arguments are urged. Old resi- dents say that East Haven will go strong for annexation, and SO will the bor ough.
