Having tried numberless so-called remedies and physicians of all schools, without relief, there seems to be no hope. Many such have last resort tried Athlophoros; and to their surprise and joy have found that it was safe, sure and quick cure. Ath1ophoros is not an experiment thousands have been cured by it's use and they testify as to it's value.

 ports On The Condition of The
 Schools-The Manual. Training And
 SevlRg Schools.
 The regular meeting of the Board of Edu- cation was held last night Twenty-Five dol lars was appropriated by the Boald to the
 Fair street sewing school. Miss Nellie Swain,
 of room No. 4, Woolsey school, offered her
 resignation The matter was laid over. Miss
 Isabel Cromwell asked a leave of absence
 from her duties as teacher in the High
 school. It was granted. Miss Lizzie J.
 Swift was appointed teacher at the Whiting
 street school at a salary of $55O. The mat
 ter of adopting brief German grammar for
 the senior class in the High school one-third
 the size of the present book was laid over.
 The grammar is by Professor Whitney and is recommended by MT. Curtiss, teacher of the grammar in the High school.
 Major Strong, of the Committee on School Buildings, reported that the heat had been put into the Winchester school. SupeIin- tendent Dutton reported to the Board that the schools all had very good attendance so far this term; that the favorable weather of the last two months had increased the at- tendance considerably; that the manual training school was opened very successful ly, two hundred and forty pupils each week receive one half a days instruction under competent teacher; that sewing instructions were given in all the schools of the city that had pupils in their fourth or fifth year; that there is an average nightly attendance ot fifteen pupils in the girls night school. The bills of the district for the month ot October, amounting to $25, ,S25.25. were voted approved. 0. A. Case appeared before the Board and exhibited the Household fire extinguisher. The members of the Board expressed them selves pleased with the machine The matter of having them used in the public schools was referred to the Committee on School Buildings and Furnishings.
 President Welch spoke of the demise ot the late George Jones in words of respect. He said Mr. Jones thirty years ago, when the school committees met, would always attend and speak in favor of the schools. At that time the people didn't care much for schools or new school buildings. "Mr. Jones used to make telling speeches at these meetings, which feel sure had telling effect. I think that when a monument is erected to George Jones the words s'Here lies a friend to the public schools" should be inscribed on the base of the monument to tell future generations of the good deeds of the man who now lies in his grave"

 To-day Yale will meet Harvard on the
 grounds of the latter and from the result of the
 game the chances of Yale with Princeton can
 be deduced accordingly. The game no doubt
 will be close and interesting as Harvard has

 playing on her own grounds, and secondly
 she has had practice with an eleven that IS
 far superior to anything Yale has met thus
 far. The Yale men last night, while thinking that Yale ought to win, yet are not over confident and are waiting with suspense the result of to-day's contest. The men who will l contend against Harvard are as follows: Rushers-Corwin, Burke, Woodruff, Corbin, Carter, Gill and Wallace. Quarterback 1 Beecher Half-backs- Watkinson and Morri- son.

The Battle of Gettysburg.

Admiral Foote post, G. A. R., have at length succeeded in making arrangements for an entertainment in New Haven for which it has long desired. It is the fla nous lecture and illustrations of the battle of Gettysburg, at present running to crowd ed houses in Baltimore. MT.

Late yesterday after noon reserved seats were placed on sale at Loomis' Temple of Music, and from the rapid manner in which they were taken it is evil dent that the Atheneum will be far too small to accommodate the people The i1- lustrations were taken by government photo graphers during the actual progress of the battle, while the exact location of several Connecticut regiments is pointed out by the lecturer.

HENDRICKs, SUCCESS.
The Billiard dTOurnament-The Result
 Last Night.


 John Hendricks surprised himself and all his friends by playing the best amateur bill lizards ever seen in this city at the tourna- ment given at Fishers billiard parlors last night. Although no large runs were made, yet the brilliant shots which followed each other in rapid succession made the game ex- ceedingly interesting. Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week Mir. Harvey McKenna, s'the California Wizard" will play an exhi- bition game at Fishers billiard parlors with MT. George Carter, allowing him the tremen- dous odds of 1000 or no count. In order to win the game McKenna will have to make 1000 successive successful shots. To the average billiard player, who has to struggle hard to get two shots in succession, this seems impossible, but MT. McKenna, who is the champion of the world at straight three ball billiards, has often given expert players these odds and beaten them. The score:
