A SPECIAL MEETING.

The Board of Education Decides to
 Know Definitely What 1t Wants
 Before Calling a Special Town Meet.
 Ing.
 The board of education held special meeting last night and all the members ex- cept Dr. Carmalt and J. D. Plunkett were present. Resolutions, offered by Mir. Graves,
 of respect and esteem for the memory of the
 late lamented Colonel Wm. s. Charnley were
 adopted The deceased was an ex-member
 of the board.
 Architect Robinson was present with esti- mates for the new Webster school building.
 He estimated that a twelveAroom building would cost about $3O, O,00O, while one of six
 teen rooms would cost from $54 .000 to $66,- 0e0. In view that two twelve-room build ings could be erected for what one of sixteen rooms would cost, the general sentiment seemed to be that twelve-room building be put up and then after time another one could be erected. The question of whether 1 the building should be two or three stories high came up. It was shown that if it was only two stories high it would have to be spread out and more land must be bought, ! while from three story building more l light would be obtained and it would be cheaper. The question came up whether the Webster district would be relieved if the Oak street school was raised story. MT. Dutton thought not, as the Oak street school was crowded and something would have to be done there before long.
 The board voted to strike out the date in the call for special town meeting and 8 committee composed of Messrs. Welch, Plum kett, Major Strong, Day and Dutton was ap- pointed to investigate the matter of the new building and report at the meeting next Fri day night.
 The committee on schools was ordered to prepare plans for a brick building for the Rosette street school in place of the proposed wooden one

 The Hartfords defeated the Bridgeports in Bridgeport last night, 6 to 8.
 Secretary Morse of the Central division says that the Pawtuckets cannot legally play in Hartford and that properly the Meriden club is entitled to Wednesdays game.
 The champions of this league meet the former champions of the Central division in Hartford tonight. So far the new Hartford team has won every game, but whether they will win to- night remains to be seen. An old polo player said yesterday that the Hart lords were afraid of the New Ravens. At all events it will be the hottest game of the sea- son and many New Haveners will go up to see the 'eDaisies' win. They may give the Waltham-Pawtucket-Ly Hartford aggre- gation few points about playing polo Daniels will probably referee.
