The First Public Rehearsal Held at steinert
 Hall Last Evening Much Credit Due
 Professor Steinert.
 For some time past Professor Morris Steinert of this city has been engaged in organizing a symphony orchestra which is to be similar to the Boston Symphony orchestra and promises to mark a new era in the musical his- tory of New Haven. About fifty of the leading musicians of the city have been rehearsing for some time past, and last evening the first public rehearsal was held in Steinert hall before an audience composed of many of the leading ladies and gentlemen of culture and refinement in the city. Professor Parker of the musical department of Yale university acted as the director. All the selections rendered were classi- cal, and it was quite an important event in the musical line.
 This orchestra promises to be nota- ble institution for New Haven, and much praise is due Professor Steinert for the energetic and able manner in forward to what promises to be suc- which he has pushed the enterprise cess in the highest degree. The organi- zation of such an orchestra aims at something high in musical matters and deserves the support of all who are interested and believe in developing in the city a ttaste not only for classical but for aesthetic culture gener- o1

W4S 4 VTCTOUS FIGHT
Bull Mccarthy and New Man G
 Together in the Ring.

Bull Mccarthy and New Man Ge Together in the Ring. Philadelphia, Jan. 24-Horace Leeds. the ambitious Atlantic City lightweight, and Charles "Bull'' Mccarthy of this city, met tonight at the Winter Circus building in one of the most vicious four round fights seen here. Mccarthy has been boxing steadily for fifteen years, and has been a trial horse for every lightweight champion and as- pirant for that honor in that time, and not one of them has ever succeeded in putting him out. Leeds exhibited all the good will in the world in his effort to knock Mccarthy out but his attempt was futile In the first round Leeds did most of the leading, and landed re- peatedly with his left.
 McCarthy's S eyebrow was cut open, and for the rest of the bout he presented a gory appearance.
 In the second round Leeds, finding that he could not hit McCarthy's head changed his tactics and swung his right hand against Bulls" heart a number ofstimes. The last two rounds were nearly even up, for Mccarthy was game to the core and met everyone of Leeds rushes with a stiff left handler and when he got the chance tried the aggressive himself
 The local mans blows lacked steam, however, and did not hurt Leeds any and although no decision was rendered Leeds was so far superior that he was easily winner,
 Leeds meets Charles McKeever ris- ing young lightweight of Philadelphia, Saturday night.

THAT CROSSING AT GRADE.
ATTACKS UPON THE CONSOLIDATED
 ROAD UNWARRANTED BY FACTS.

South Norwalk Crossing Being Built by the
 Standard Oil Company-No Passenger
 Cars to be Run Over Branch-What the
 Railroad Officials Say.
 Officials of the Consolidated railroad were interviewed last night in relation to the attack made upon the Consolidat- ed road in reference to the crossing of an electric road at South Norwalk by a branch of the Consolidated road. They stated positively that the attack upon the Consolidated road was wholly unwarranted by the facts, and that the branch at South NorWalk is being built by the Standard oil company fon it's own use and at it's expense.
 The application for permission to cross the highway in question by the Stand- ard Oil company freight branch was made for the Standard Oil company by the selectmen of Norwalk In accordanu6 with the statutes in such cases, just as the Norcross quarry road was built at Stony Creek upon the application of the selectmen of Branford. There are no passenger cars to be used on the branch at South Norwalk, and nothing but the oil cars of the Standard oil company.
 The Standard Oil people and the peo- pie of South Norwalk all desired to have the branch built. A great and valr uable industry is being developed at South Norwalk, and the South Norwalld plant will be the most valuable oil dis tributing point in New England.
 The Consolidated railroad is not a party to the application, and could not be said the officials. The Standard Oil company had right to construct the branch for these freight purposes and the Consolidated road had no power to prevent the oil company from build- ing across at grade. The oil company and the selectmen of Norwalk had the entire control of the matter with thk approval of the railroad commissioners, and the attack upon the Consolidated road in an evening paper is a gross and wanton misrepresentation of the facts and perversion of the truth. As the story published in that paper is not true the attack upon the railroad com- pany is harmless among intelligent pso- pie who learn the facts.

Kent Club Course.
 Professor L. A. Grace of Niagara uni versity delivered the first lecture in the Kent club course last evening be- fore large audience in Osborn hall. His subject was "The Majesty of Law" The lecture was an excellent one and was listened to with intense interest by the audience.
 In his discourse he said that the people of the United States were not like the people of many foreign coun- tries, dependent for the upholding and maintenance of law on an expensive military equipment, except perhaps in the case of strikes. There seems to be in the people of this country an in herent respect and reverence for the law. And so he thought that the ten dency to introduce any element of mirth or humor into courts was mistake. It would deprave public sentiment and create disrespect for the law He thought that next to a church, court room should be a place most respected by men, He said that in this coun- try men generally had an admira- tion for law instead of anarchy and that the citizens of America would give their lives that the law might be pre- eryed in it's itegrity. ia crisis should come" he said, every man of every home would lay down his hammer for the musket. the pen for the sword and the lawyers brief for the Stars and
