/, REPLY TO Nh. HAYES.

Every Evenings" Newark Correspond
Ont Explains His Reference t1 Mr..
Hayes Vote at, the College Trustees
Meeting.
Editor Egery Egening; Mr.. Manlove
Hayes takes exception, ] see i'll to-nights
EVERY EVENING, to the statement in your
correspondence report OF the meeting of
the board of trustees of Delaware College
last Tuesday. He denies the perfect
accuracy of tho statement that "Mr. Hayes
commended for quiet star chamber investi-
CATION of the presidents report" Techni-
cally Mr.. Hayes is right and EVERY EVEN
ING is wrong. When the presidents report
was read there were various motions made
but not seconded. Some urged the imme-
diatc reference of the report To q committee
and some proclaimed loudly in favor of
having it discussed by the full board at
once fearing they would not have chance
later to make critical comments on it. Mr..
Hayes admits that he wanted the report to
be reported to q committee to consider il in
private and later make n report upon its
recommendations" This is what gave
your correspondent the distinct and not
altogether wrong impression that Mr.
Hayes was in favor Of star chamber"
consideration of the report and this is the
idea that other members of the board re-
ceved.
Then Mr.. Hayes goes ON TO say that in the
number OF its departments, its equipments
and professors Delaware College is equal if
not superior to the colleges of other States,
he says Just what has again and again been
said in EVERY EVENING, by its Newark
correspondent and no later than in
EVERY EVENING of March 10th, if Mr..
Hayes will be SO good rs to look up u
paper of that date,
Mr.. Hayes lives 40 miles from Delaware
College and is here only Il half dozen times
a year and then only for few hours and it
is hardlyto be supposed that lie can kept up
with the daily history and needs at the
institution as one who lives under its
shadow almost. Without going into the
merit of the question-that now remains
for the committee to do-the position of
EVERY EVENING in calling for an inquiry
was completely in the meeting
by members Of the board who made the
same charges and called even more loudly
for an investigation than did the news
papers And yet these comments and
criticisms are declared "unwarranted"
forsooth
Mr.. Hayes should realize, rs he will
have to later in an official way, that point
ing out plain violations of college laws
with a view to having them corrected for
the welfare of the college, without fear or
favor, do not necessarily proceed from
righteousness" HARLOW ii. CURTIS.

A weaving" horse, with the strange
nervous disease bearing that name, at
tracted great deal of attention as it
stood, attached to wagon, in front Of
Crosby g. Hills store, Thursday. 1t
was good looking bay horse, otherwise
apparently in good health. 1t was the
most marked instance of that curious
nervous trouble ever seen on the streets.
The horse stood with its hind legs
planted firmly together as pivot and
threw the fore front of its body to right
and left with incessant movement de-
scribing almost semicirclc. People
who had never heard of weaving
horse thought the animal was in pain.
