LOWELL BANQUET TONIGHT.

LOV ELL bANO U El 1VsN1"HAs Annual of the old Lancastertan
 School Association at the Hyperion
 -Old Times to be RecalIed-Many of
 the old Boys to Attend-One of the
 old Programs of Lowell School En-
 tertaInments.
 The reunion of the Lancasterian School association this evening at the Hyperion promises to be great success. A great many responses have been received from members of the alumni signifying their intention of being present, and the large number of dinner tickets sold indicates that the tables at the feast will be well surrounded. and, as usual, many of our representative men in business and in the professions will with other old schoolmates of days of yore at Lovell's recall old times and old associations in the days when all the world looked roseate with joy, and football games in the lots back of Aunt Milly's (now Orange and Trumbu1l streets) created as great intense rivalry and enthu- siasm as do any at the present day, Yale and Harvard not excepted. The crowds of spectators were not as large-the city had not then 100, ,000 inhabitants or so-but the fun, spirit and enthusiasm were all there. Tonight the ninety-seventhy birthday of Mr. Lowell will be appropriately celebrated. ]. Many of the surviving pupils of MT. Lowell are now themselves three score and ten, but still the spirit of the old school days burns brightly in their hearts. Speeches and songs will add to the interest of the occasion and good program, informal but interesting, will be carried out. Per. haps no side event connected with life al Lovell's created more interest in town than did the amateur theatricals and elocution, ary exhibitions gotten up by Mir.

BY THE WEST END CLUB.

A Rare Treat Given the Inmates of
 the AlmshOuse-A Very Enjoyable
 Affair.
 The West End club, an organization composed of we'll known young men in the western part of the city, gave theatrical performance to the inmates of the alms- house on Thursday night, with an elabo- rate program. The audience consisted of about seven hundred, and, judging from the applause which greeted each and every performer, all enjoyed the rich treat. The inimitable banjo playing and original sing ing by MT. Charles Mix was encored time and again, and the acting of MT. w. Key holds as a Dutch comedian was highly spoken of. Messrs. Cowles and Brainard in their duets and Clark and Marsh in their witty jokes received their share of appreciation. The program closed with an original farce entitled "A Haunted House, or Hotel de Coogan," Nate E. Farnham and Charles w. Mix taking the leading parts, and proved a successful ending to an enjoyable evening to the inmates. Among the ladies present were Miss Min nie Stoddard, Miss May Pollard, Miss Farnhem of Brooklyn, Miss Hubbard Miss Lulu Stoddard of Meriden, Miss Morse, Miss Fields of Denver and Miss Hoyt of New Orleans, both the latter ladies being on visit to our city. The West Enders will give an entertainment at the Crusad- ers' castle, No. 3, K. G. E., on the 29th inst, and there will be large audience present to greet their appearance.

 Superintendent Curtis reported that the Woolsey street, Ferry street and Lloyd street schools, and the primary depart ments in the Cedar street, Webster street and Welch street schools were over crowded. It seemed to him necessary to hire room to relieve the Lloyd school for the last term of this year. During the month of March the superintendent has present at two principals meetings, at one meeting at the high school, had visited the manual training schools in Cambridge, and had visited the training school here.
 Principal Thomas requested that the text book in astronomy be changed from Steele's to Young's and that Harkness' First Lessons in Latin be adopted as sup elementary text book for the beginners in Latin. It was also recommended that Messerve's bookkeeping, which has dropped out of use, be again adopted. These recommendations went over under the rule. The superintendent said that he had given especial attention to penman- ship in the grades and that he and Mir. Booth had given special instructions weekly to the teachers on that subject.
 The recommendation of MT. Curtis that a principals office and another recitation room be added to the Rosette school build- ing was referred to the building commit tee.
