 l To-day the annual school election
 takes place and no preliminary excite
 ment has preceded 1t, save for the very
 Interesting move made by the ladies
 in putting n woman's ticket In the held
 anti the quite large number Of ladies
 who have had themselves enrolled as school election voters. The ladies campaign to-day at the polls will. no doubt. be very interesting. as they are in earnest in the cause. There are three tickets in the field, all issued by the ladies' committee. They are as follows. all having the names of two ladies. Mrs. Sarah B. Newton and Mrs. Mary l.. Moody:
 Board of Educatlon-Walter J. Con- nor, Sarah B. Newton, Mary B. Moody. Treasurer-Ezekie G. Stoddard. Clerk-Benjamin R. English. . Auditors-Richard F. Lyon, Francis G. Anthony.
 Board of Education-Johu T. Manson, Sarah B. Newtown, Mary B. Moody. Treasurer-Ezekle G. Stoddard. Clerk-Benjamin R. English. Auditors-Richard F. Lyon, Francis G. Anthony.
 Board of education-Thomas Hooker, Sarah B. Newton, Mary B. Moody. Treasurer-Ezekiel G. Stoddard. Clerk-Benjamin R. English.
 Auditors-Richard F. Lyon, Francis G. Anthony.
 The ladies propose to have the in terest of their ticket well looked after at the respective voting places. Tickets have been liberally distributed. Dr. C.. B. Adams name was talked of for a place on the mems ticket; so was Cap tain Lawrence O'Brien's; so also was George A. w. Dodge of the New Haven Street railway. Lawyer J. P. Bree's name was also mentioned; also the name of P. J. Kelly, the furniture dealer. But these plans did not materi- alize. Mir. Dodge said he could not think of having his name on the ticket. His hands were full with the business of his road, and had been since the road began running, owing to its extensions in so many directions and the work of equipping the various lines all at once. Mir Dodge has had con- siderable experience in school matters, as in the city of Jackson, Mich, from years the president of the board of education there and superintended building various of the large school houses there. He, as much as any other man, had the management of the schools In his district and he has the honor of being the man who originated and perfectd the public lib- rary of Jackson.
 The election to-day, 1t is expected, will be participated in by about 600 female voters. There are now 635 female voters in the district. It is ex- pected good many more lady voters will be made to-day-some estimate the number coming in to-day at 2O0 Certificates must be had in each case in order to cast a vote to-day. The committed of ladies having in charge the canvass being made in the interests of the ticket nominated for the board of education at the women's convention in the United church chapel, have been sending out the fol- lowing circular to the women voters in the city:
 We hand you enclosed number of ballots containing the names of the wo- men nominated for the board of edu- cation by the women's convention, held for that purpose, in the United church chapel, Friday afternoon. There are three members of the board to be elected, but owing to MT Tyler's ina bility to accept a position on the board his name, although selected by the convention to head the ticket, has been omitted. You will therefore find three different kinds of ballots enclosed, each containing the names of the two women candidates and one of each of three other candidates
