 "Seeipg in one of your papers that Johnnie Dodds and our champion. Dick Phillips. holder of the diamond belt and worlds record, arc to have a race at New Haven on March 2Hd, wish to say that if Dodds doubts that Phillips does not hold the record, which is 16m 2-3 seconds, will prove the same to him that Phillips lowered the record which was 16 m sec., made by Walton in the Brooklyn diamond belt series Phillips lowered it by one third of a second at Washington Rink, Rochester, N. r., in November last, as was the official timer and starter He had to cover seventeen laps to the mile.

The eeunod Concert March 4.

The production of Masssnet's beautiful cantata "Eve" at the Gounod concert March 4 will prove an interesting event. The canata has been give but twice in this country, in Chicago and in Minneapolis, and each time it has been received with marked expressions of approval and delight. Massenet is consid
 cred by many to stand at the head of the French school of musicians. In s'Eve" he has perhaps given the latest and most novel example of his genius. It is composition abounding in unique and telling passages, in- terspersed with melodies of rare beauty. It is surprisingly free from commonplace writ ing and is sure to please both the critical and the uncritical alike. This cantata has not yet

The True Test of DIsc1pleship-Chri
 tho COrmer Stone

The True Test of Disc1pleship-Christ
 the Corner stone.
 Dr. Smyth of the Center church preached an able and eloquent sermon yesterday morn ing in the United church. His text was from John, vi, 67: twill ye also go awaya"
 Christ is not only the center of the Chris- tian system, but the central thought of every true Christian, around which his life revolves. Everyone can solve the question for himself, "Am I Christiana" by ascertaining how far he is influenced by the power of Christ's life.
 The preacher contrasted the condition of things at the present day with what they would be if the example of Christ were fol- lowed, making the question 'Are we still Christiansa" very pertinent one. The di- vine personality of Christ as above all creeds and doctrines was emphatically sustained. Christ not only displayed miraculous power, but he is still able to subdue all things to himself. He was and is indeed Emmanuel 'fGod with us."

THE AFFAIR AT WESLEYAN.

Details Of Ghe BxpI0sIOn-Th0se Im-
 plicated-Rubbard Among she Rest
 Hubbard,s Condition Last Evening.
 The parents of Nelson c. Hubbard, the Wesleyan student injured by dynamite, ar- rived here Saturday from Wheeling, W. Va. He was very comfortable and in slightly bet ter condition last night. Prof. Rice of Wes- leyan staid about two hours in the city Sat-
 urday morning. No one is allowed to see
 Hubbard but his immediate family and at-
 tendants.
 Hubbard made his statement of the affair
 to Prof. Rice when here, and full details are
 now thought to be known. The freshmen
 implicated are W. H. Hall, H. s. Rooksby,
 Robert E. Smith, F. H. Thackaberry and
 Nelson O. Hubbard. Two of them, W. H. Hall and Robert B. Smith, have confessed
 everything. QuesI, the ringleader in the celebration, ,teIegraphed to New York Thurs day morning for the cartridges. They ar rived on the 5:40 o'clock train and were taken into the college rooms, and at 10 o'clock Thursday night Pierce and Rooksby took the cartridges and distributed them. Hubbard was expected to explode his on the second floor, and he probably did so. Rooksby ex- ploded that on the floor of the Observatory hall and probably on the fourth floor of North college. Rooksby and Smith exploded their cartridge
 with the effect already known. Hubbard,
 who was either faint hearted or was per-
 suaded by some of his friends who were in
 the secret, hesitated about exploding his.
 Smith and Rooksby say the explosions were
 instantaneous, and it is thought that when Hubbard ignited his bomb he could not drop it.
 A Middletown paper Saturday night print ed the names of H. P. Queal as the ring leader and H. s. Rooksby 0. H. Pierce, w. M. Douglass, E. J. Tsmblyn, R. M. Grant and Nelson 0. Hubbard (the injured student), ss his associates in the bomb-throwing ex- petition. Pearce, Douglass, Queal, Tam- blyn and Grant, who fired the cannon on Asylum Hill, have all confessed to the fac ulty's investigating committee, composed of Acting President Van Vleck, Professors Will SOD. Crawford and Conn.
 Should Hubbard's wounds prove fatal, those implicated may be held on charge of manslaughter.

 Gentlemen-For the past five years I have been afflicted with Scrofulous Humor, which appeared in the form of unsightly eruptions the face and affected my general health so badly that was obliged to leave my place of employment, and in fact give up labor altogether for the last two years I was under the care, successively, of at least a dozen skilful physicians, but their efforts gave me no permanent benefit. Various patent medicines were also tried, but to effect. tn May last a friend called my attention to Dr. R. W. Lougee's Vitalizing Compound. began to take it at once, but it was not until had used nearly twosbottles that any good results were noticeable. From that time, however, I began to gain and have continue to improve since. The blothes that so disfig- ured my face have now largely disappeared, my strength has returned in great measure, and my weakened nervous system is repaired In fact. have so greatly improved in every sense, by means of the vitalizing Compound, that I shall continue it's use in the fullest confidence that it will com pleteIy restore me to health.

The Directory f0p Nurses,

Now we'll advanced in the third year of its existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of a hundred names are the best nurses in this city and vicinity both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for a compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- uated Nurses will generally command. It is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service.
 Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and all calls by telegraph, mail or telephone will receive prompt attention by E. 1. Washburn, M. D., Registrar,

The sporting papers yesterday were full of praise for Manager Spence. His reputation is not confined to only one locality; it is na- tional Here is what Tim Murnane, the Bos- ton correspondent of the Sporting Times, says: 'Harry Spence will manage New Ha- ven, and a right good one he will make them. Harry knows 8 promising player when he see one and can coach them in good shape"
 The Lynn correspondent of the Times says: "The move on the part of the directors of the New Haven club in selecting Harry Spence to manage the team is good one, and the chances for the success of the team are great ly enhanced thereby. While in the New England league Harry very forcibly demon strated his worth as 8 successful manager" :"
 E. Stockhouse, base ball editor of the New York Tribune, writes: "Harry Spence has been appointed of the New Haven club and is hustling around with his old time vim. He likes his new charge, and the infant seems to return like for like. He is now in the city trying to secure players, and also to arrange games for his team for the preliminary season. He goes into the field rather late, but he will distance some of the fellows who started in months ahead of him."
 This is what the Baltimore correspondent of the Life says: ''If Harry Spence takes hold of New Haven his old Baltimore friends will watch his career with interest. He should make good one for that venerable burg, and, no doubt, at least he will be an artistic success there."
