HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The school Reoponsd Yesterday-Tha New
 Instruetors-The Football Team Pro-
 speets-Candidates Therefor-Tho Ath-
 letie Team situation.
 The high school was formally opened yesterday morning at s:So. The fourth class arrived at 10 o'clock. and were ar ranged in their various rooms by Mir Thomas. MT. Sargent, one Of the new instructors, has charge of room s,where the junior scientincs are seated. MT. Hackett is situated in room '. where the much talked about commercial class is seated.
 The outlook for a football team in the old Hillhouse Is rather dull. Only two of the players on last years team are in the school, while one of these has signified his intention of not playing this year. It Is expected that there will be a number of new men at the field when the practice begins, which Is only few days distant Among those who expect to try for the team: Butler, Kowaliskwi. Sternberg, Mcqueen, Troup,, Barnes, Thompson, Kearney, Schneeloch and others.
 The athletic association Is in rather shaky condition. No dues have been col lected for over yea back, and the standing fund Is very low. According to the constitution there Is no associa- ton at present, for as 1t reads: "All members in arrears three months for dues shall be dropped" As there has been no dues collected for months be- fore there are no members therefore. MT. Booth, having left the school, sev- CTS his connection with the association also. and new president Is to be looked for. Some of the boys favor having a teacher while others claim that some one of the pupils should be elected pres ident. If one of the teachers should be chosen all eyes would turn to MT. Zim- merman. who has been an active player himself when in college. Another name suggested is that of MT Hackett, who formerly explained team in this same school.
 The laboratory which is in charge of MT. Marble, is rapidly being placed In first class condition SO that he will be ready for classes in few days. This year he expects to give his scholars more time for performing experiments than last year.

AMUSEMENT AND INSTRUCTION.
Grand Opening of the Annex Lecture Hal =, in,the Grand Opers House.

Grand Opening of the Annex Lecture Hall l =. in,the Grand Opers House.
 A notable event in local theatrical
 circles was the opening yesterday of
 MT. Bunnell,s Lecture Hall Annex in
 the Grand Opera house. At o'clock
 in the afternoon it was opened for the
 first time, the members of the press and about fifty invited guests being pres ent. The hall Is on the lower floor of | the theater and adjoins the lobby. It is elegantly furnished and fitted up and excellence which challenges admiration. l The floors are laid with elegant heavy Persian and Turkish rugs and the walls and ceiling are handsomely and expen- sively decorated.
 Manager George B. Bunnell made a short speech, in which he alluded to the fact that it was in that very room in which ten years ago he began his
 business of catering to the amusement
 loving public of Connecticut. He said that in this hall he proposed to give anyone who wished an opportunity to exhibit anything wonderful, rernarka-
 ble, curious or instructive in art, sci ence or letters. It will give inventors a chance to bring before the public at no cost whatever any interesting mechanisms they may contrive. Here also people may bring masterpieces of art, paintings, statuary, etc., which will be interesting and instructive and shown without charge. There are now in the hall a great variety of fine paint ings, which we're viewed by large crowds last evening. Some. very inter- esting stereopticon views of the worlds fair are also shown. Moeller & Blake's compressed air pump is also on exhibi- ton. '--.-
 This is rather unique feature in the theatrical line and if successful will be a continual loan exhibition throughout the entire year. The formal opening of the hall to the publicstook place last evening, a host of people being present embracing the opportunity to view this palatial annex, which Mir. Bunnel1's enterprise and public spirit has provid- ed. What Is to be seen is only the be- ginning of the attractions Mir. Bunnell will there freely open to the public. The annex will be open free to the patrons of the theater and will be sup. piled from time to time with the ob- jects of art, mechanical and other in. ventions, both Nmusing and instructive

The Mermen;eau river is bordered
by a thickly growth Of large forest

At Lake Arthur, pretty village

nestles, we partook Of a splendid re-
past which all enjoyed with that full
zest which is best described as being
similar to children out on picnic.
There is a large, well equipped and
attractive hotel here which would do
credit to a much larger place.

noted that the ladies were singing in
French and very popular song with
the creoles too, for soon many of our

joined in the song. We afterwards
learned that the ladies were the
Misses Mouton, of Lake Arthur. And
it may be well to add right here
