 pionshlp Game Ts-Dsy.
 A meeting of the athletic aSsociation was held in Harmonic hall yesterday to act on the gift of the B. T. society.
 Resolutions were adopted thanking the society and also the family of Mrs. Hofer for their kindness in helping out the school. A motion was also made to have the resolutions engrossed.
 Remarks were made by Messrs. zim- merman and Hackett about cheering for the Bridgeport or Hartford team to-day.
 This morning at 1o:so o'clock at the field, the Hartford public high school will play the Bridgeport high school for the championship of the Connecti- cut Interscholastic Football associa- tion, which has been presented with a challenge cup by the Yale Football as- sociation. Last Saturday Hartford de- feated the Connecticut Literary instt- tute of Suffield, thus winning the championship of the northern division, and on the same day the Bridgeport high school defeated Hillhouse high school of New Haven, winning the championship of the southern divi- sion.
 The teams are very evenly matched and a good game Is promised. Over a hundred supporters came up from Bridgeport last Saturday and many more are expected to-day.
 Both the teams which competed in the finals last year do not have chance to meet this year and i' looks as if Hillhouse will go another year without meeting her old rival the Hartford high school.

CATHOLICS STOOD ALooF.

 ING FOR THE GEAR.

Cardinal Richard win Cher Prayers for

 General Gourko Commands tho Oath to
 be Taken in Russian.
 London, Nov. 9.-The News corre- spondent in Vienna confirms the re- port that General Gourko. military governor of Warsaw. has received pe- tition for the release of the KilinsN con- vitcs. The correspondent adds that more Catholic priests in Russian Poland have been arrested or suspended for re- fusinE to swear allegiance to the czar. Among them. he says. are the bishops of Lublin and Sandomir. The princess Alix of Hesse is said to have interceded for some of the priests who Vere re- leased yesterday.
 The Daily News correspondent in Paris says: While services were in pro gross in Protestant and Jewish places of worship the Catholic church stood aloof from the universal mourning. Cardinal Richards silent disregard of the popu- wish for requiem mass in the cathedral of Notre Dame prompted accusations of lack of patriotism. The Catholics then threatened to ask the government to convert the Arc de Triumphe into a chapel and to invite the Russian popes to say mass at the impromptu altar beneath 1t. Cardinal Richard has now announced service to be held at the cathedral of Notre Dame on the 11th. He himself will officiate, and will offer prayer for Russia and France, but not for the czar.
 Tonight Cardinal Richard offered prayer throughout the empire.
 A Warsaw dispatch says that General Gourko has commanded explicitly that the oath of allegiance must be taken in Russian.
