black livery of the society We're as
vociferous as ever.
The boxes were profusely decorated
with orange and black bunting. and
American flags decorated the upper
tiers of the balcony. An erroneous i'm
preston has got abroad about the bal
comics. There are now reserved seats
on the two upper balconies. There are
over 5000 seats free to holders of ad-
mission tickets. 1t is a case of first
come first served with them.
When the doors We're first thrown
open the tanbark ring was occupied
by Veterinary Surgeons William Shep-
pard, M. r. c. V. S.; Edward Loomes,
and Thomas G. Sherwood, MR.. C. V.
S. They were examining the breeding
classes. A new rule has been adopted,
which subjects all competitors in these
classes to a thorough examination.

Crime in Middiebury.


Crime in Middebury.
Daniel s. Webster, who in 1890 was
sentenced by the Waterbury superior
court to Imprisonment for eight years
for assault with intent to kill Middle
town school teacher, died at the state
prison Saturday. The crime was a par
ticularly brutal one, as he left his vic
tim for dead, but she finally recovered
completely. The crime was committed
April %, 1890, and caused sensational ex-
citement through the Napgatuek valley.
Webster pleaded guilty and received a
comparatively light sentence.
For over a year prior to his death he
had been in the prison hospital gradual
ly wasting away with consumption. His
stomach was already badly disordered.
During the past few weeks he was little
more than skin and bones. He was
twenty-five years old. AS prisoner he
was docile and obedient.

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC TIE.
Protest of the Hartford Team Not Allowed
To Play Again at Yale Field Saturday.

10 Play again at are fielu Saturuay'
The Yale Football association, under
whose auspices the Interscholastie as
sociation of the state was formed, have
taken action on the tie game between
the Bridgeport and Hartford high
schools here last Saturday. The pro-
test of the Hartford high school, claim
ing that overtime was played, was not
allowed, and the final score, 10 to 10,
was allowed to stand. The game was
ordered to be played over, and the
rival teams will meet in the contest for
championship honors in the Interschol-
astic league at the Yale Field next Sat
urday.
HARVARD FRESHMEN REFUSE TO
... PLAY YALE.
The Yale freshman football team has
been given to understand, in response
to its annual challenge to the Harvard
freshmen, that no game with Yale will
be allowed, as it will be the policy of the
university to meet Yale in no athletic
contests, class or varsity, for two years.
The challenge sent by Yale '99 to
Princeton '99 has been conditionally ac-
cepted. The Princeton freshmen are
anxious to meet Yale in the principal
contest of the year for both teams, but
it is not assured that they can. 1t is
the present plan to have the great fresh
man game played at the Yale Field
the day before Thanksgiving, and Yale
will use every means to have the game
take place.
The Yale freshmen will meet the
Columbia freshmen at the Yale Field on
Saturday afternoon
