APPOINT HEALTH INSPECTOR
SIXTY-EIGHT BALLOTS CAST BE-
 FORE I CHOICE VAS MADE.

Fifteen Applicants for the Position-Ed- ward s. Peterson the Successful One The Character of the Answers Given by Candidates FavorabIy Impresses the Board.
 The board of health elected Edward s. Peterson sanitary inspector, vice Martin Conlan resigned, yesterday af- ternoon. The selection was the result of civil service examination adopted by the board at a recent meeting. Three of the fifteen candidates who ap- peared before the board for examina- ton created such a favorable impress sion upon the examiners that it took one hours deliberation and sixty eight ballots to determine upon a choice.
 The two who gave the successful cam didate contest for the position when the balloting had begun were F. Lester Smith and Thomas F. Clyne The humber of votes cast for the men varied each receiving two and at some counts three of the six votes cast, but it was
 
 of the members the number necessary to, a choice vote for one man.
 The thirteen candidates were Moses Isaacs, Hervey E. Dorman, John Glib bons, Nicolas r. Corcoran, Thomas F. Campbell E. Lester Smith, James T.. Eagan, A. Schulhafer, Carl H. Klebe, John H. Hogan, l.. B. Clarke, Patrick Little and J. J. Sullivan.
 Several members of the board eX- pressed themselves last evening as be- ing well pleased with their first at tempt to system which insured an intelligent board of sanitary inspectors, The examination was an oral one and the answers given were for the most part intelligent. There was differ ence of opinion among the men as to what part of the city was the least sani- tary. Oak street from Congress ave- nue to George street was favored by the majority.
 Fair and Water streets also received a few votes Wallace and East streets. Sandy Hollow and the neighborhood formerly known as Mt Pleasant were said by one candidate to be in an ex- ceedingly bad sanitary condition. MT, Peterson, the successful candidate, is a nachinist about thirty-five years old and lives at 72 Cottage street. The place pays $500 per year The questions asked were:
 1. What is a cesspool and when is it nuisance?
 2. What are the different kinds of privies and outhouses in use in New Haven? And when under the city ordi- nance do they become nuisance?
 3. When is rubbish heap q nuisance?
 4. If a bad odor permeates house how would you investigate?
 5. What sections of the city are in the least sanitary condition?
 6. When would you report a well as a nuisance?

PUPILS, RECIT4L.
4 Large Audience at steinert's I

A Large Audience at Steinert's Hall.
 The third recital by the pupils of the Dessauer Troostwyk School of Music attracted a large audience to Steinerts hall yesterday afternoon. The program was quite ambitious and was we'll call culated to test the abilities of the young performers. The affair was very pleas ant and greatly enjoyed by all the friends of the school who were present.
 The program opened with a violin duo by Masters Mower and Parker This was followed by Kolling's Noe turne," played by Miss Jeanette Coe Next Miss Cornwall, one of the young est performers, played a Dancla varia- tion. Then MT Barbour, who has a baritone voice of nice quality, sang Shelley's familiar Loves Sorrow" One of the most advanced pupils, Miss Mabel Hepburn, played the Pape Fan tasie.' Then MT Harold Webster, Yale '96 who plays in the New Haven Symphony, performed Svendsen's love- ly Romance. MT. Webster plays with considerable finish and style. Then Miss Mahony sang Meyer -Helmunds S Magic Song''
 Perhaps the performances that eX- cited most interest of all were those of young Master Orville Bailey. MT. Troostwyk has great faith in this boy and apparently with good cause. Mas ter Baileys two compositions by Wien iawski, Polish song, and the familiar "Kuyawiak," both played with remark able skill for such a youngtser. The program closed with a piano solo by Miss Hilgenberg.
