That clever, popular little actress, Lotta, in her latest triumph, Pawn Ticket No. 210," drew very large audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening. There was standing room only. The play is quite an interesting one and the supporting company was fully adequate to it's requirements. Miss Lotta sang some new songs and still possesses that charm which has made her fame and fortune.

It now would be called severe. It had it's advantages, the boy was expected to do his duty. It taught courage, patience, endurance, manliness. What is the result of all this9 It made good boys and it made good men. Among all the hundreds of boys of the school whom have personally known but two have turned out bad These schoolboys have gone all over the country; they have gone more or less to all parts of the world, and they have been sound, honest, upright men, faithful to their duty and doing the work set before them. I am sorry that Luther Bradley is not here. po iak hNz h1% ha hoI fho ri<rI,f stuff in him. When the war broke out he entered the army and by sturdy work he climbed to the top. There is another, per

The State of Connecticut has produced many able men, but never a man purer in heart, of greater intellectual power, more thorough gentleman than Af- fred H. Terry Qong continued applause). In celebrating Founders day we celebrate Eze- kiel Cheevers, first schoolmaster here, and his work, but we are celebrating also the foundation of the LancasteIian school, and wonder of all that 66 years after it's founda- tion we are celebrating it here in the pres ence of the founder. founder is here. No other such event as l know of has ever oc- cured in the United States. And what shall I say of the foundera God bless him. In-
 irmity has come upon him. He cannot hear all the kind words that are spoken to him, he cannot see all the dear faces. He is now as he was in days past, the living
 nodel of e kind, courteous, Chris- tian gentleman. This is the happiest day of his life. (Great applause.) I call upon you for three cheers for John E. Lowell. The cheers were given with 8 hearty good will and nine more in addition. Ex-Mayor Lewis led the cheering, the enthusiasm of those present bubbling over into the most rousing cheers.
 Governor Harrison introduced one of the earliest members of the Lancasterian school, one who has gained,the highest distinctions, and has gained them by earning them, ex- Governor English. Prolonged applause Among other things Governor English said: MT. Monitor, if I may be permitted to ad- dress the boys of the school, I would say that was not only one of the earliest boys at the school, but entered the first day the school tablishing the school, and was on the committee that invited MT. Lowell to come here, and he took his first meal in New Haven at my fathers table. He was only twenty-seven years old and had herculean task before him. Up to that period the town of New Haven had never invested a mill in school building. So anxious were the people to visit the school that they had to draw lots for the privilege of coming. MT. Lowell had great task to control and drill us. At that time there were gravestones where the old State House
  One boy performed an extraordinary feat, ascending to the top of the Center church on the lightning rod, turning the, vane around thrice and descending again in eight
 minutes. This was John E. Beers. The time Mir. Lowell came here the schools were held in lofts over stores and mostly by lady teachers.
 In introducing the next speaker the Cover, nor said: II am sure you will all be pleased to hear from gentleman who has occupied @ high judicial position in New Haven, Judge Henry E. Pardee." The substance of what the judge said follows: To Mir. Lowell I feel that owe more than to anybody else what ever chances I've had to pursue the line of life the improvements in the schools we have now we do not find on the average boys sent out who become any more successful than those who went forth from the Lancasterian school This was due to MT. Lowell The touch of his hand on my shoulder was an inspiration to me. He was on the constant lookout for the good side of the boy.
 At this juncture it became necessary for the revered teacher to retire and ex-Governor English escorted him to his carriage after he had spoken in voice tremulous with age somewhat in this manner:
 Gentlemen, want to thank you for this occasion; it is the happiest moment of my life. I feel like saying, Now let thy servant depart in peace. Three more cheers were given with a will for MT. Lowell. s.gl
 The monitor remarked that he would in troduce without comment one of the earliest pupils, Prof. Day. The latter said: The establishment of the school was a very great event in this community.
