PROFESSOR TRowBRIDGE's REPLY.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 16, 1885, MT. Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., Alderman
 of the city of New Haven:
 Dear sir take pleasure in acknowledg- ing the receipt of your letter in which you ask my views on the following questions re- lating to the old State House:
 First-Whether it would be advisable for the city to appropriate $25, GOO to repair it.
 Second-Whether it is worth repairing.
 Third-Whether it would be waste of valuable and useful property to tear it down.
 inexcusable waste of public property to tear down this valuable building.
 There are, I believe, very unnecessary mis- apprehensions on the part ofimany in regard to the condition of the building If the steps and the thin ashler facing of the lower side walls were not in 8 dilapidated condi- ton we should hear nothing about tearing down the structure; but these portions have nothing to do with the strength or stability of the building; these are unimpaired. The foundation and walls, as we'll as the roof. are as solid and true to-day when they were first built. There cannot be found build ing in this country, as far as I know, of this character in which the main lines have been better preserved, and an appropriation of S25 GOO will restore all those superficial fea lures both inside and outside which have suf- fered from neglect and will place the building in better and more attractive condition than it has ever presented.
 Aside from the fact that this is one of the largest, if not the largest building in the city. suitable for variety of important uses. it is remarkable as constituting in it's prepor- tions the most noted exemplication undoubt- ed of Greek architecture on grand scale in this country. When Americans return from the study of Greek architecture abroad and plead for the of the buildnp it shorld think. make those hesitate who would at once denolish noble example of architectu- l ral taste and destroy and blot out the many interests and sentiments connected | with it. Yours Very Truly,
 w. P. TRowBRIDGE

THE ROOMS THRoNeEp.

Large Attendance at the Annual
 Pound Party of the Young WOmen's
 Christian Association.
 From half past until after o'clock last evening constant stream of ladies carrying
 packages done up in boxes and paper bags
 were to be seen entering the building occu-
 pied by the Young Women's Christian asso-
 citation on Chapel street, the attractive occa-
 sion being the annual pound party of the as-
 sociation. By o'clock, the time for open
 ing the exercises of the evening, which were
 to take place under the direction of the man
 agers of the institution, the rooms on the
 lower floor of the building were crowded with ladies and gentlemen, except the dining room, which was reserved for the storing of packages. In this latter room were four ta- bles on which the packages were piled, and before the evening over these tables were so crowded with packages that some of the latter had to be placed on the floor. The packages contained mostly house. hold goods in one, two and three pound packages, although among tkem were six barrels of four and about 8 dozen hams which had been received during the after noon. The association also received three tons of coal besides about $100 in cash dona- tions. The programme consisted of vocal and instrumental music by pupils of Miss
 Eastman and by MT. Munger and Mrs. Hor. ton. When the programme was about half over Rev. Dr. Twichell, of Dwight Place church, mounted the stairs leading from the main building into the second story and de- livered an eloquent address, during which he highly complimented the ladies of the insti- tuition on the good work they were doing and the clean and neat manner which the institu- tion was conducted, saying that he had visit ed every room from the attic down and found them all in the same orderly and attractive state. He invited those present to visit the
 rooms during the evening as they were thrown open for inspection. Rev. Dr. Twichen also stated that the association
 were about $9,000 in debt, and begged that
 some of the wealthy ladies and gentlemen
 present would subscribe that sum to pay the
 debt. After the programme had been fin
 ished the ladies visited the different rooms
 of the institution, and the highest praise was
 heard on all sides for the way in which the
 institution was conducted. Miss Helen Will
 COX, the matron of the institution, said last
 evening that the number present last even
 ing was much larger than that of previous
 years, and also that the institution had to
 turn fifteen applicants away recently who
 wanted to enter the classes at the Home.

 II Weighed Nineteen Hundred Pounds
 When the West Hartford reservoir was carried away in 1868 there disappeared, among other things, cast iron 'tgate,' which is pipe containing the apparatus for opening and shutting the flow of water The missing gate weighed nineteen hundred pounds. Search was made for it from the dam to West Hartford itself. Apparently it had been buried clear out of sight by the mass of debris that was swept along by the flood, which story proves correct, as the gate was found Saturday deep underground by laborers while digging cellar. It had been carried quarter of mile by the flood.

Exhibition at Lincoln Rink Last
 Evening.

Last evening little Millie Smith gave a very pleasing exhibition before good-sized audience at Lincoln rink. It is safe to say that no skater has ever visited the rink and created so much enthusiasm as this little miss. She is probably the smallest artist in the country, yet no professional has ever been better received than she. After her skating exhibition she appeared attired in sailors costume and danced the Sailors Hornpipe. !" She will give exhibitions at the Lincoln rink every night this week excepting Wednesday, when she appears at the Quinnipiac rink to take part in the grand calico carnival. She will also exhibit at the natinees on wednes- day and Saturday at Lincoln rink.
