Special Meeting-Two Officers on Trial
 The Finding.
 Last evening Patrolmen McMahon and White were on trial for violation of the police rules in that they left the city on June 23 without permission, and they were also charged with cruelty to the horse they were driving, intoxication and conduct unbecom- ing officers of the police force.
 Under date of June 30 Officer McMahon rendered his resignation, which was read to the Board. He was then used as witness in the case and charged Officer White with for cibly taking four dollars from him, two of which he afterward returned. In his testi- mony McMahon blamed White for telling Chief Webster what had occurred, and said that if he CWhite) had kept his mouth shut neither himself or White could have been convicted.
 From the evidence it appeared that Mo- Mahon and White hired team at Smith g stable after going off duty, and then taking several drinks in the city started for East Haven. They stop ped at -Four Corners," then at the Forbes House and finally brought up at South End. The result was that White re- fused to return to the city with McNahon :; the latter overturned the buggy in which he was riding; White walked to the lighthouse and fell asleep in the grove, but caught ride home in time to go on duty the same night. They both telephoned Chief Webster for per mission to remain of duty, and his answer was Report at the ofice." Further evi- dence showed that all damages to the car riage had been settled, but there was no evi- dence introduced to refute the charges of leaving the city without permission and of drunkenness, &c., although Officer White de- nied that he was under the influence of H- quor in the least.
 In executive session the commissioners voted to accept the resignation of Officer John J. McMahon, and also voted to dismiss Officer Herbert O. White from the force.

The JubiIation at the ColIege-Brilliant
 Illumination = Blazing Fires Dire
 Din.
 The scene last night upon the return of the victorious crew to this city, and the iu- bilant throngs of Yalensians who went to New London, was noisy, exhilarating and in- spiring. There were 13 car loads of joyful, exuberant excursionists on the special. Ex- pectant throngs of Yalensians and others awaited them, and for three hours after eight o'clock the enthusiasm on the campus, in front of the old South, was simply immense. A large bonfire blazed brilliantly, lighting up the venerable South and South Middle colleges and the old elms in front. with their huge branches and leafy drapery, while deaf ening reports from cannon crackers were in- cessant, sky rockets shot up, Roman candles emitted their gaily colored fire balls, and col ored fire blazed constantly. An immense throng of people witnessed the carnival en- circling the great bonfre and shared in the enthusiasm. Six of the crew returned. The two Rogers remained behind. At half past nine many of the members of the American band had been collected, and fine music was oSNAASs Members of the college danced war dance to the band music as they lighted fresh ex- plosives, and the cup of Yale's pride and glory seemed full to overfowing After eleven the crowd diminished greatly and at about twelve the Yalensians formed pro- cession and took up their line of march, headed by the American band, for the resi- dence of Yale's president and those of other members of the faculty.
 During the rush up Chapel street just after the arrival of the excursionists from New London, a knowing horse on the State street car line, accustomed to seeing crowds enter tering the well known tailoring establishment of W. D. Bryan $ Co.,, tried to deposit his passengers car and all there last evening. He got as far as the curbstone with the load, the popping of candles 1n honor of the vic- torious crew seemingly giving him wondrous life and strength. A gentleman passenger with an infant in his arms looked vainly for chance to escape with his burden and final ly took the full extent of the novel ride.

A Sad Gaze.

The Selectmen of New Milford visited the almshouse Wednesday in reference to the case of Edith M. HubbeIl, the unfortunate young insane woman who was taken there about three months ago when she first gave evidence of her mental infirmity by smearing her whole body with paint. Her care belongs to the town of New Milford, but they have no suitable accommodations for person in her condition and in fact no almshouse at all, the poor of the town being boarded out. Miss Hubbell has steadily grown worse and her case is now regarded as hopeless.- R116Oe7l01f F,17-Ine7

Out of the six contests with eight-oared crews, honors are even, each having won three races. The betting before the race, and, indeed, for some time previous, had been in favor of Yale at from two to three to one, though bookmakers were giving somewhat better bets. All sorts of stories had been floating around as to stories being ir- culated from those in authority in Yale boat ing matters to influence the betting, but such may be pronounced false iaa toto.
 Altogether the race of '81 may be said to have been grand one, and to MT. Wood, the able coach of the Yale crew, is due no small share of the praise which falls to Yale. He has been untiring in his efforts, and his ex- pectations have been more than realized. The press were as usual courteously enter tained on board the steamer Manhassett. This and the referees boat were the only ones which followed the crews throughout the race except the Columbia coaching boat Yale was again triumphant, and congratula- tions rained. u.
