The first football game of the season
took place yesterday afternoon at the Yale
field. 1t was typical fall day-blustery,
with slight showers and, unfortunately,
high wind, which was very disastrous for
kicking The play of the Yale team
through the entire game was characterized
by fumbling, which will have to bs stopped
before the large games if Yale intends to
follow the example of last years team.
The new men, Cross and Armstrong,
showed up we'll in the first half and played
good strong game. With little more coach
ing they will do excellent service. The interfer-
ence of Yale, which was her strong point lest
year, and in which she showed forth particularly
strong, not at all up to the standard yester-
day. This fault must be remedied or it may
prove serious failing in the larger games to
come. Laurie Bliss played his usual good
game, and also made some striking runs around
the ends. ''Pop'' Bliss did good work in
going through the line but he does. not
take advantage of the interference around the
ends as does his brother. The ball was repeated.

$4,000.

Captain Hanscom said last night that his
loss was fully $1,000, and the insurance
less than 81 900. He formerly carried a
larger insurance, but allowed q
portion of it to expire last year. Captain
Hanscom says that there seemed to be g

stroy the building, as 1t was set on fire
Tuesday evening, but the flames were dis

REPUBLICANIsM AT MILFORD

Another Grand Rally Held There Last
Evening and Hon. Joseph r.. Haw-
ley and Hon. Stiles Judson, jr., Ad.
dress the Meeting.
The republicans of Milford held another
grand rally last evening which was adj
dressed by Hon. Stiles Judson, jr., of
Stratford, candidate for secretary of state
on the republican state ticket, and Senator
Joseph R. Hawley of Hartford. The
Tippicanoe Glee club from Bridgeport was
in attendance, and the Judson Guard of
Stratford were the guests of the Young
Mems Republican club. George Miles of
Milford presented the Judson Guard with
beautiful basket of fruit and flowers.
Rev. Mr.. Paradise of the Episcopal church,
was chairman of the meeting, which was
held in the town hall. Preceding the regu-
lar meeting, however, the Young Mems
Republican club, accompanied by their
visitors, held short torchlight parade in
which about 100 participated.
The Milford boys looked very fine in their
/ quits of white trimmed with gilt.
Stiles Judson, jr., was the first speaker. He
| spoke principally on the great benefit which the
| tobacco growers have derived from the tariff
which is now on tobacco. He said that in two
or three towns in this state mortgages have
| been swept from the farms by the greater
| profits derived from the tobacco culture. He
| enlarged upon the present situation of the two
parties as regards the legislation in this state
| After Mr.. Judson had finished speaking Hon.
| Mr. Hawley made stirring speech, touching
| on ali the points which are at issue in the
| campaign. In the latter part of his speech, he
| said !:
| Danbury and Nerwalk would be discharged
| Many Of them would go off and work on farms
| perhaps, for time, but they would eventually
| drift back to the town and 60 to work for the
| lower wages humbling their pride. And thus
| equalization Of the wages of the world is what
| the free traders want to bring about, and it il
what their policy would bring about If it trtumphs
There is another benefit other than the industrial
| in bringing about the manufacture OF almost
everything we can.
| When factory towns spring up near agricult-
ural centers farming itself becomes diversified
industry and prices become much higher. He
also alluded the free silver question and spoke
of BENJAMIN Harrisons record in the war, and
| asked the poignant question, ''Where was Gro
ver?" He sent q substitute.
After the speaking was finished another parade
was made, and the visiting clubs went back on
the 1919 train.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,

The Ashnun Street Paving Referred
to the Corporation Counsel-Other
Business Transacted.
At the meeting of the board of public
works last evening, Mayor Sargent and
Commissioners States, Atwater, Maley and
Brown were present. The session was an
unusually lengthy one, but very little
actual business was transacted other than
approving the monthly bills of the depart
ment.
The only stir of the evening was created
when the matter of paving Ashmun street
with vitriied brick was taken up. After
considerable discussion Commissioner At
water moved that the question be laid upon
the table. Commissioners Atwater and
Maley voted yes and States and Brown no.
The tie vote was dissolved by the mayor
voting against the tabling of the question.
On motion of Commissioner Atwater the
entire question was referred to the corpora
ton counsel for his advice as to whether a
portion of the expense of such paving
could be collected by assessment from the
property owners, and further, whether the
matter of assessment affected the action of
the board in carrying out the order.
The city engineer was instructed to build a
new wall on the south side of the GAINESVILLE
bridge and also 70 make a layout for the widen
ing of the junction of Grand avenue and State
street and of st. John street, from State to Olive
streets. A hearing on the latter will probably be
held at the next meeting.
The board approved the lines and grades for
the new Union avenue, as presented by the city
engineer.
Permission was given to the State Street Horse
Railroad company, upon application of Super
intendent Blatchley, to lay double tracks on all
streets over which the road runs, where it is not
now double tracked.
F. h. Belden, of Thompson & Belden, appeared
before the board and asked that the sewer in
Sherman avenue, ordered by the court of COM
mon council, be constructed Immediately. The
city engineer was instructed to advertise for bids
for its immediate construction, said bids to be
opened at the next maeting of the board.
