BOARD 0F SELRoTmEN.

Routine Business Transacted at Last
 Nights Meetins-Forbes Avenue Im-
 pK0Vement.
 The regular meeting of the board of select men was held last night. Selectmen Beecher, Sternberg, Todd, Forbes, White and Cooper were present.
 The first matter that came before the board was the case of John N. Coleman, who asked the board to pay the bills of Drs. Thompson and Russell for services rendered Mrs. Mas terson of Fair Haven, who died recently at MT. Coleman's house. The bills were sent to him, but he thought that as the deceased was an indigent person the town should bear the expense. The matter will be considered at a future meeting.
 Ex-Selectman Hughes asked another hear ing on the Forbes avenue improvement. The board had decided to order layout of 66 feet in width and assess benefits accordingly. MT. Hughes said that all the people of that sec- tion desired was a layout of 60 feet and they would accept one of that width and ask no damages. The board voted to visit the local ity before taking definite action on the mat ter.
 The following town taxes were sbated: American Gun Implement company $68. S5, Frank Cross $1O.24, F. D. Shumway $8. B, Joseph Milander $32. .43, A. c. Stevens $12 66, Edward Caldwell $94. 65.
 Town Agent Todd informed the board that he had paid the note for $15, 900 held against the town by the National Savings bank.
 It was voted by the board to instruct the town agent to make contract with the Worcester Elevator company to put in and fully equip two new elevators for the new almshouse, the cost for both not to exceed $500.

WEST HAvRN's NEW TOWN HALL.

The Town Meeting at Orange Center This AfterROon Will Decide Upon Plans and Other Particulars ReIat-
 Ing ts Hts ErectIOn-A Much Needed
 Improvement.
 There is no longer any doubt that West Haven will have fine new town hall, and the only question now is, What kind of a building shall it beg
 This will in all probability be completely answered by the electors of the town of Or ange this afternoon, for they will then hold meeting in Orange Center to formulate and complete the plans of the undertaking.
 The taxpayers almost to man are believ- ed to be in favor of erecting fine structure which will answer all the needs of the bor- ough for many years to come and it is beyond all possible doubt that the town meeting will decide to act in this way in the matter.
 The borough of West Haven has grown very rapidly within the past few years and the more enterprising among it's residents think it would be an economical move to ap- propriate not less than $15, ,0O0 or SIS, ,000 for the new building. Some even exceed this figure.
 land for the site of the town hall at Main and Campbell streets. This action was authorized by the last meeting. The plot purchased has frontage of about one hundred feet on Main street and runs back somewhat over two hundred feet. It is an excellent location, central and convenient.
 Just what style of structure the new town building is to be has not been decided upon, although several plans have been drawn and displayed. No definite action can be taken till ordered by this afternoons meeting. Many who are forward in the movement are desirous of seeing a four-story structure stand for the honor and use of the town, while others think that town hall which is three stories high would be amply high enough for the town at present.
 One thing Is evident, and that is that the people of the promising little borough have been instilled with the true spirit of prog ress, whether to their general needs or by something else is not apparent. The present place which Is used for town meetings, how ever, is hardly large enough for an editorial sanetum, and everyone knows that these sacred spots are not notorious for room.
 The new building will be amply sufficient for all the town offices, court rooms, and the like and the meeting to-day will probably order the erection to begin at no distant date,

 Start.
 In response to circulars sent out by Rev John E. Todd, Postmaster English and Mayor Peck nearly one hundred singers were pres- ent at the lecture room of St. Paurs church for the first rehearsal of the grand chorus of one hundred voices, the use of which it has been thought advisable to tender F. s. Gill more at the celebration of the 20th anniyer- sary of the Peace Jubilee to be held in this city on Monday, June 3. Ex-Mayor Lewis opened the meeting with a speech in which he urged the mem bers of the chorus to take lively ipterest in the work before them He also made interesting remarks in refer ence to Mir. Gilmore's musical ability and work ill years gone by. Mir. Lewis then inc troduced Prof. Smith Of Bridgeport who immediately took up the work of the eve- ming. Under his able leadership the chorus will undoubtedly do credit to the occasion. The singing went off very smoothly Iast night considering that it was the first meet ing. The chorus is limited to one hundred members and those who were present last night together with the persons who have re- ceived invitations but could not come last night completes the number The ranks are therefore full. The next rehearsal will be held at St. PauPs church lecture room next Tuesday evening, May 2S, at 7:45 ]

The boy told the policeman on the beat, who demanded the hat of the stu- dent. The lattesbnly laughed at him, and finally the officer told the boy to go home and mind his business.

 The grand stand reserved seats for the Harvard game, Saturday, May 25, will be on sale at Beers and Peck's book store Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock
 The juniors had meeting in Lyceum last evening to elect class historians, McMahon 'S9, presiding. The men nominated were: Bardwell, Phelps, Keogh, Parker, Yeomans, Ebersole, Munger, Smith, Kahler, Pratt and Ames. Those of this number elected were: Ebersole, Munger, Keogh, Phelps and Smith.
 The freshmen have received official notice in a letter from Captain Kidder that the Harvard freshman decline any race whatev- CT with them this year, alleging that three- cornered race is impracticable and their time in New London too short to think of another separate race.
 To-day the varsity nine plays Princeton at the Field, and the freshman nine goes up to contend for honors against the Harvard freshman at Cambridge. It is to be hoped that the general rule, that one must lose in order for the other to win, may this time be broken.
 
 next day begin the semi-annual examina- tions. The schedule has been given out and is as satisfactory as could be expected. G. M. Sharp, editor of the Underwater, is featuring before the law students on insur- ance.
 The DIX and Psi Upsilon celebrations took place last evening with all the old time pomp of calcium lights and fireworks. In grotesoueness D K E considerably outdid their rivals, and among them were conspicu- ous Hoadley, the fairest nymph ever in skirts, Joe Huntington, who as report says has come back to take P. G. course in the Theological school, with considerable more whiskers than he ever could boast of before. and last but not least by any means, Tommy Sawyer. The chief attractions of Psi U seemed to be summed up in Ash Newell, whose symmetry of form and garb of merry little mountain maid displayed to an advan- tage almost equalling the effect after he has come in from pull with the crew.

For the stoddard Lectures.

On the deck of the French steamship La Normandie, as she left her pier Saturday. bound for Havre, were Messrs. Burditt and North, who have become we'll known in this community through the management of the annual seasons of the Stoddard lectures. While Mir. Stoddard is to be actively em ployed through the summer at his New Hampshire retreat in the preparation of the lectures of next season, his managers will visit the scenes abo ut which he is to write and, by the help of the best photographic talent available in each place, will provide him with illustrations worthy to accompany the lectures. Experience has taught them that they can only do this by the services of photographers specially employed and super intended. To obtain this collection will re- quire few weeks in France, Germany and other continental points, after which they will proceed due north to the Land of the North Cape and the Midnight Sun, of the sturdy fisherman and the ancouth Laplsn- der, where by routes that will carry them over roads, canals, lakes and seas, they will diligently collect their special photographic scenes which will form the illustrations for MT. Stoddard's lectures on Norway and Sweden which he will bring out in 1890 and 1891, after he has himself visited the country.
