THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING AND RE-
CEPTIoN OF THE ALUMNI-THE ANNUAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PROCEEDINGS.
The eleventh annual meeting and recep-
ton of the Hillhouse high school Alumni
association was held in High school hall
last evening. President Arthur b. Jack
son, who presided, stated that one number
on the program would be omitted, as Miss
Florence NJ. Judson was not present,
which was owing to her PHYSICIANS ad.
vice.
The Clock polka, the first number on
the card, was finely rendered by. the H.
II. S. Banjo club, who, in response to an
encore, played ''The Darkie's Dream" in
all its beauty, after which Mr.. Seymour
L. Spier rendered tenor solo beautifully,
accompanied on the piano by Miss Jennie
Well
The secretary, DR.. O. T. Osborne, then
made his report, which contained several
recommendations, one of which was the
enlargement of the high school on the ad-
joining land. An elevator was recon-
mended for the use of those who were not
as strong as others. Some of the scholars
walk with clutches there and those whose
health was delicate would be accommo-
dated with an elevator.
1t was Also suggested that in the new
building the recitation rooms be on the
same floor as the class rooms. The addi-
tion-of manual training class was also
advised. Physical culture for girls was
also recommended by DR.. Osborne, who
passed by the record of deaths and mar
riages, as catalogue with statistics will
probably be published. He also advised
that the school year end in June instead
of April.
He gave a caution regarding overmark of
teachers and scholars. After the accept
ance of the secretary's report the officers
for the ensuing year were elected as follows:
President-Dr. o. T. Osborne 80.

YALE DEFEATS CRESCENT.
An Untnteresting Game at the F1el
Won by Yale.

An Uninteresting Game at the Field
Won by Yale.
Yale played the Crescents yesterday af-
ternoon at the field, presenting Clark and
Jackson as battery. The game was char
acterized by sharp fielding by Yale and
heavy batting by the Crescents. Case ap-
peared to be fun for the Crescents and the
ball went around the field pretty lively.
balls and each of them was touched for
fly. Yale didn't do much base-stealing,
and even Murphy found hard luck. 1t
looked as if Yale's hard work Tuesday had
partially paralyzed them. Following is
the score:

Several changes will be made in the
makeup of tho New Haven team in the
course of few days, the most important
of which will consist of the signing of Pet
tee, late of Louisville, who will play second
base for the local team in the opening
championship game in Providence Satur-
| day. A gentleman well versed in
base ball gave quite an interesting &C
| count of how Pettee came to be signed by
Louisville and why he was released. Pet
tee, it seems, was approached by Mana
ger Chapman of Louisville or one of his
ENJOYS in the interests Of that club, and
| offered salary greatly in excess of that
he was getting here last season. The
| temptation was too strong for Pettee and
he signed contract to play with that
| team, receiving quite considerable sum
| in advance. By the terms of his contract
| the Louisville management were also to
| give him ten days notice of his release
| with full pay during that time. At the
| opening of the season he reported in
| Louisville, and was sick nearly all the time
| after his arrival, in consequence of an at
tack of the grip and change of drinking
water. He was practically called off
| sick bed and put into the field when he
| was in no condition to play ball. AS is
already known he was released by Mama
ger Chapman, and on his way to his home
| in Massachusetts,, stopped in this city and
| paid visit to Mr. Munson and Manager
Burnham. Negotiations were at once en-
| tered into with view Of securing him to
play in this city, and he has finally &C.
| copied terms from the local management
and will play in the Worcester game Fri
day. ..,~
The cases against E. Harry Decker in
Philadelphia have been in the care of John
I. Rogers of that city, who has made a sat
! isfactory arrangement of the trouble, and
Decker will report in this city in the
course of few days. He will probably
play in the opening game in this city next
Wednesday against Troy. He will be
valuable acquisition to the home team, as
he ia heavy batter and fine fielder.
Lally will not be released by the local
management just at present, as Cudworth's
hand is still in very bad condition. 1t is
not yet by any means settled that Cud
worth will not go to Providence, in fact,
present indications seem to bear out the
theory that he will go and Lally continue
to play center in this city. Yesterday
afternoon Lally received q communication
from Manager Burnham, who is at present
in Providence, telling him not to enter
into negotiatiations with any other club at
present.
The local management have determined
to strengthen the team, and in order to do
SO will leave no stone unturned. Should
Eddie Sales not prove success at short it
wOnI6 n
''Snap' Lang back in his old position, and
this is one of the possibilities of the near
future. The pitching department will
also be materially strengthened and the
lovers of the national game in this city
will see a team representing this city
which will hold its own with any club in
the association.

MISS HUMPHREYS POEM.
Far up an airy mountain slope
In dainty fairy dell,
Lay glistening, twinkling dew-drop
Like gem in its leafy cell.
So dense and thick was the foliage
All over the mountain side,
That not a ray of sunlight through
The barrier ere could glide.
So all day long the dew-drop nestled
In its cool and messy bed,
But it grew SO very lonely
Ere the twilight gray had sped.
Yes, twas lonely, but the Father knew
And cared for his little child,
And his great all-seeing wisdom planned
Grand work for the dew drop mild.
It was very small to labor
In the great broad field Of life;
But the small things joined together
Always conquer in the strife.
All the long dark night it waited
For the summons from above
There no more to idly linger,
But start on its journey Of love.
But when the robins cheerful song
Told of the break Of day,
Lo! another trembling dew-drop
Beside the lone one lay.
All was quiet on the mountain,
Heavy and warm the midday air,
When there came flash and tumble
That told a summer shower was near.
Fast and still faster came the rain drops,
Here and there and everywhere,
Rudely awaking both the dew drops
By crowding in their home SO fair.
Soon the green bowl, wherein they fingered,
Was filed with rain drops to the top,
And one by one they ventured over,
Started, never more to stop.
Hark! we hear last faint rumble
no mo
And through the clouds now breaks the
sunshine
New life and joy in every ray.
The dropping flowers lift their bright heads
Drinking in the sweet pure air
But they wonder-quite bewildered
At the tiny brooklet there.
Onward goes the sparkling streamlet,
Blue birds sing and flowers bow,
And the dew-drop, once SO lonely,
Knows it has its life work now.
Over rocks and through the woodland,
Till at last it gains the mill
Where it turns the ponderous mill wheel,
Then runs dark and deep and still.
Knows the dow drop of the work
1t is doing day by day?
Sees it ere the poor and hungry
That are fed SO far away
By the grain that in the mill
Is ground to powder fine and white
By the steady running river
And a dew drop pure and bright.
Simply doing what lay nearest,
And to God belonged the rest,
Thus the dew-drop ever happy
Kept its place and did its best.
So, dear classmates, let us follow
Living mot for ourselves a1one.'
Justly doing the work that's given,
Till the Savior calls us home

evening because their ball team played and

the champions of the local amateur league.
Sullivan pitched very effectively for the
profession school men and received grand
support from Neary, who was at the other

The histories and prophecies were all
good, the individual ''gags" calling forth
much laughter, but being of course better
understood by the members of the class
than the INITIATED. Mr.. Francis Murray's
grafton also deserves special praise. "The
Relation of Society" was his subject, and
Ourselves" of the class motto.
The music was all good, the concert sing
ing being directed by Professor Jepson.
The number in the graduating class was
143. When entering, as the president re-
marked, it numbered $50 and was then the
largest class that ever entered and is still
the largest class that has ever graduated.

A Missouri correspondent, writing to
the New York World, says: One of the
best plans Of applying manure to wheat
is to plow reasonably early after the
harvest work is finished. Take pains to
plow deep and thoroughly; then haul
out and apply all the manure possible
Scatter it evenly over the surface.
The work of properly preparing the
soil to receive the seed will usually work
the manure sufficiently into the soil.
There is,nsually very little time for haul.
ing manure after the spring work fairly
begins until after harvest, SO that there
should be a considerable quantity that
can be hauled out and applied with profit.
If commercial fertilizers are to be ap-
Piled, the most economical plan is to
use the fertilizer attachment to the drill.
The work can be done at less expense
than in any other way. 1t can be scat
tered broadcast by hand, but this in
creases the work very materially. Ma
nure or fertilizers with wheat should al
ways be applied near the surface whether
commercial fertilizer or stable manure
is used AS it is difficult to secure suf.
ticient amount Of stable manure to keep
up fertility, it is good idea to apply
the stable manure to such crops as corn
and grass and use commercial fertilizer
with wheat and potatoes,
