TO AID THE FUSION TICKET.
Plans of the Committee of Fifty for the
 Campaign.


 New York, Oct, 9,-Charles Stewart Smith, chairman of the executive com mittee of the chamber of commerce, committee of fifty did not come down town to-day, and no meeting of either committee was held. There may be a meeting of the executive committee to- morrow or next day. It is not ex- pected that the committee of fifty on the executive committee will open any political headquarters, but will hold such meetings as may be necessary in the rooms of the chamber of com merce. IT this respect their procedure will differ a little from that of the committee explained this morning, the committee has no distinct ticket of its own, but has simply endorsed a fusion ticket made up by the republicans and the state democracy, and the active conduct of the campaign will be left to those organizations. The committee of fifty, how Yer, will contribute some of the sineWs of war to both of these par ties to help defray the expenses of the fusion campaign against Tammany Hall, Already several thousand dollars have been subscribed for that purpose by members of the committee of fifty
 Besides contributing money for ex- penses, the committee of fifty will prob ably arrange and hold two or three mass meetings, at which appeals will be made to voters to support the fusion ticket, and they will also distribute some campaign literature.
 It is expected that those members of Good Government clubs who are also members of the committee of fifty, but are opposed to the fusion ticket, will resign from the committee of fifty. One of the three who voted in the committee of fifty yesterday against endorsing the fusion ticket said to-day that he intended to resign from that committee, and he believed that the other Good Government men on the committee who had voted as he did would do the same thing.
 The opinion was very generally ex- pressed, to-day that some way would be found by which the Good Govern inent men would finally unite on the fusion ticket, which is identical in some cases with the ticket of the Good Gov ernment clubs convention. The men on the Good Government ticket who are not on the fusion tiket will it was thought, resign from it rather than con- sent to take part in such hopeless contest. The endorsement of the fusion ticket by the committee of fifty makes it unnecessary to have a separate col umn on the ballot for the committee of fifty.
 L. L. Delatield, Good Government nominee for judge of the city court said, when asked this afternoon if he intended to accept the nomination.: 'T decline to define my position until I have had an opportunity to confer with the other candidates. MT Odell (nomi- nee for supreme court judge on the Good Government tickeD and I talked the matter over this morning, and agreed to take no precipitate action"
 John A. Beall, Good Government nominee for city judge. was out of town to-day, and will not return until Sat urday.

ENDORSING DR. RROOkS.
He Has Been Appointed on Harvards
 Athletic Committee.

Athletic Committee.
 Boston, Oct. 9.-At meeting of the Harvard overseers to-day the commit tee on the regulation of athletic sports for one year from September 1, 1895, was appointed as follows: Faculty members Joseph H. Beale, jr., Ira U. Hollis, Ed ward Hockling Bradford, M. D.; grad uate members, William Hooper, Perry D Trafford and William A. Brooks, M. D.
 The action of the overseers in ap- pointing Dr. Brooks is of more than passing significance. Dr. Brooks is the famous football coach and this action can hardly be construed as meaning less than the overseers, aware of all the facts in the football controversy which has been going on between Harvard and Yale for many months. are satisfied that Dr. Brooks criticisms of and posi- tion in regard to the famous battle at Springfield a year ago deserve their in- dorsement It is we'll known that Yale's demand for an apology was based upon certain utterances made by Dr. Brooks in a criticism which he wrote and which appeared the morning after the game at Springfield.

Convention of Connecticut Daughters of
 the King Held in Norwalk Yesterday-
 Officers Chosen-Interesting Addresses
 Norwalk Ladies Hospitality.
 A convention of Connecticut Daugh- ters of the King was held at St. PauPs church, Norwalk, yesterday.
 Reports from many of the forty chap ters in the diocese occupied the morn ing session, after the convention had been opened with holy communion, at 10 o'clock Rev. $. B. Pond officlated at the communion service. Several of the reports were discussed at some length. The reports showed the society to be in sound condition, and making contin- ued progress.
 New officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. Stevens of South Nor walk; vice president, Mrs. Peck of New Haven; secretary and treasurer, Miss Ida l.. James of Seymour. /
 Among the other events of the session was the recommendations py Miss Fitz- gerald of Seymour proposing the pro- viding of a scholarship at St. Marga- ret's, Waterbury, for the daughter of a clergyman. The expense would be $400. The matter was left for the various chapters to act upon, and apportion the amount each chapter should contribute.
 Shortly after o'clock the guests were received in the Sunday school room, which was tastefully decorated, and trimmed with the chapter colors, blue and white, by the ladies of the local chapter, and were served with an elabo- rate lunch. At the afternoon session very interesting addresses were made bv Rev. MT. Reynolds of North Haven, Rev. Messrs. Lewis and Cowles of Bridgeport and Rev. MT. Kimbail of Seymour. The topic discussed was 'Personal Gift and Personal Ob1iga- tion.'
 The New Haven ladies who were pres ent speak in high terms of praise of the abundant hospitality shown by the la dies of it's Norwala1 chapter, who were unremitting in their kind attentions The Norwall1 chapter provided most tempting lunch although it was on the program for visitors to buy their own lunches, and they moreover, had re- ception committee in waiting at the depot to greet and receive the arriving guests, and had special cars to convey the visiting members from the depot to the church, and after the session to con- vey them back to the depot. The guests have reason to long remember their visit and reception with pleasure. There were present delegates from the follow ing New Haven churches: St. PauPs church, Church of the Ascension, All Saints church, Christ church, Grace church, and others

 YALE LAW SCHOOL ITEMS.
 Professor J. Dove Wilson will close his course of lectures on Scottish Law on Friday afternoon This (ThursdaO evening he will be rendered a reception by the law school faculty and students in the law school parlors.
 During his visit of a week in New Haven Professor Wilson has made 9 host of friends, To the students his genial manner and entire freedom from anything approaching formallty, both in his lectures and wherever he might meet them, have won their highest es- teem, and the classes of '96 and '97 will look back with great satisfaction to the Storrs course of lectures of 1895
 The first debate of the year at the Yale Kent club will take place on Mon- day evening. The question will be, Re solved, That the free coinage of silve" would be injurious to the best interests of the United States" Arnot '96 and Sladden '97 on the affirmative; Kreider 96 and Alcorn '97 on the negative. A red-hot debate is looked for on this question. The membership of the Kent club will probably be larger this year than it has been heretofore, and as both sides of a question like the above are sure to have warm adherents in large club made up of men from all parts of the country, the young lawyers will have an excellent opportunity of test ing their mettle on the practical ques- tions of national and political policy that are met so frequently in the legal profession.

NO SALE
o the Meriden Electric Railroad

" ihe MeFiuch EIectfiC RAlirOad.
 Meriden, Oct 9-''No sale has been made of the Meriden Electric railway" The president of the road, Walter Pierce Douglas, said so to reporter this morn- ing.
 But is the Meriden railway for sale?" came a repetition of the question.
 You could hear Mr. Douglas laugh through the telephone--for he was in his office in Philadelphia, nearly 200 miles away. Then he said
 "WeH now you press me pretty close ly. Men in business are always ready to buy and sell. I don't suppose there is any investment in which I am inter ested that I would not sell out if I was offered money enough. No doubt if a man or a company offered us a big enough sum we would sell the Meriden electric road in a moment"
 Have you had any offers from the Consolidated road?''
 'I do not care to go into the matter further than I have. I repeat positive 9y, that no sale has been made of the Meriden Electric railway"

Exeter No Match for Hary,rd

Boston, Oct. 9.-Harvard's game with Exeter on Soldiers field to-day should hardly be called game. the latter was so weak. The score was 42 to 0. If all goals had been kicked the score would have been 4S to 0, the same as last year. Hayes, Gonterman and Gunlop. the Harvard backs, were not to be stopped at any time, and long runs around ends were common. Not once did Ex- eter succeed either in advancing the ball the necessary five yards on four downs, or hold Harvard for four downs or force Harvard to punt It was Exc ter's weakness and not Harvard's strength that made the score so large.

 He said that after the lapse of more than thirty years we meet again in Winchester, where our regiment receiv- ed it's baptism in blood and where later many of us passed as prisoners of war, and in this beautiful valley, around whose name for us, at least cluster so many memories of the days that are no more. We came then as soldiers in the land of am enemy to face the fortunes of war. Out of the smoke and flame of that dreadful conflict our cause has emerged and we come to-day as peace full citizens of a great, free and power full ation to dedicate upon it's soil this monument to the memory of our com rades of the gallant Eighteenth"

"M elba.'

The glowing accounts of those who had the memorable experience of hear ing Adelina Patti in her prime might well fill with envy their successors, the music lovers of the present day were it not that now an equal of Patti has come in MeIba, "the Australian night ingale." The soberest judgment of the soundest critics is that the later glory does not pale before the earlier, and that in Melba all that was exquisite in ner predecessor has been equalled, while to the voice of the former is added a soulful quality which deepens the ecstacy of the listener
