ANNUAL OUTING HELD.


Reception Committee of the New Haven
Y. L. 5. @. ga Delightful Sail on the
Gordon Rowe.
The annual outing of the reception
committee of '96 of the New Haven
Christian Endeavor union, which took
place yesterday afternoon, will prob
ably pass into the annals of Christian
Endeavor social gatherings as in many
respects the most successful out
ing ever held by any previous recep-
ton committee. About thirty of the
members of the committee and their
friends assembled on the Gordon
Rowe" Henry c. Rowe, of the Church
of the Redeemer, whose guests the
party We're on this occasion, was a
member of the party, and with his usual
| hospitality left nothing undone which
would add to the pleasure or enjoyment
Of all on board.
The steamer slowed up off the break
water and the members of the party
We're given an object lesson in deep
sea dredging. The dredge brought to
the surface large quantities of oysters
besides many specimens of sea life.
The latter included many star fish and
drills, both of which are deadly enemies
of the oyster. Many of the star fish
We're taken home by the party as SOU
venirs of the occasion. Raw oysters
were served on the half shell during
the afternoon. The party made short
stop at the breakwater and visited the
new lighthouse.
Mr.. Rowe is the owner of three steam
ers, which are engaged in the oyster
business, and one of them, the will
liam H. Lockwood" is employed most
of the time in catching star fish About
$4,000 is spent every year by the oyster
growers of this state in the effort to
exterminate this enemy of the oyster.
The party reached the city on the re-
turn trip at o'clock and after all had
safely landed, and before separating,
three rousing cheers We're given for Mr..
Rowe, which were gracefully acknoWl-
edged.
Among those who enjoyed the outing
We're: Denison B. Tucker, president of
the New Haven Christian Endeavor
union, and wife; Charles D. Sherman,
chairman of press committee, Miss G.
w. Smith, chairman of reception COM
mittee of 96; Miss Isabelle Bavier, sec

HE Ran DOM KITTIE.
A Hamdcn !yheelman Catches a Cat But
Wrecks His Wheel and Seriously Injuries

A Hamdcn, Wheelman Catches a Cat But
Wrecks His Wheel and Seriously Injuries
Himself.
Poor Kittie," q wrecked bicycle and
an unconscious rider all in one heap
was what met the eye of one of the
motornen on the Winchester avenue
line, West Haven branch, when he
reached Kimberly and Greenwich ave-
nues about o'clock last evening.
The wreck was lying close to the
track, and the motorman brought his
car to a Standstill.
The fallen rider was taken on the car
together with his wheel He had by
this time regained his knowledge of
what was going on about him. He told
the men who picked him up that his
name was Joseph Hawley, and lived in
Hamden, and that he was on his way
home from West Haven. When the car
arrived at the corner of Chapel and
Church streets Hawley, who by this
time had regained his strength, enough
to walk, boarded a DixweH avenue car
for his home.
The facts of the story so far as could
be learned last evening are that Haw-
ley, who had been to the Rock, thought
he saw a cat dart out from the sidewalk
and start across the street just as he
reached the point near where he was
afterward picked up.
He put on all the speed possible, and
in an instant there was a collapse of
cat, wheel and rider. He overlook tab
and there is a family in the neighbour
hood this morning that is bemoaning
the loss of poor Kitty" Hawley re-
ceived several scratches on the face and
hands. but outside of these he is not
seriously injured.

Sheriff Means Business.

Long Island City, June 4,-The Eure-
ka Athletic club has decided to with
draw the application for an injunction
restraining Sheriff Doght from inter-
fering with the boxing contest which
was to have been held at the club to-
morrow night. This action is due to
the fact that Sheriff Doght has issued
declaration in which he states that he
will prevent the contest, despite any
action that the club may make, even if
he has to call upon the state troops to
enforce his authority.

TEACHERS READING CIRCLE.

Despite the very badi roads and a
cold wind bowling from the north
west some thirty teachers were present
at the regular session last Saturday
p. m. Pres. Norgaard called the ses-
sion to order. Miss Mary LANCE call
ed the roll for quotations but few were
given owing to a misunderstanding
All will do better next time. The reg
ular lesson in Civics, chapters 4, 8, II
and ID were then discussed, Mr.. Race
leading. Miss Mae McOuat gave
some hints on busy work for first and
second grades. Miss McOuat said,
"splints, colored cardboard, scissors,
sewing cards with colored worsteds are
much better than spit balls. Restless
and uninterested pupils will he mis-
chievous. Lets give them that which
interests and at the same time instructs
and develops. Give the child an op-
portunity and he'll show you he has
brains" The question box brought
out the usual interest. Mr.. Race pre-
sented some thoughts on the teachers
program. He maintained that the
best hours for children when at school
were from 10 to II and from 2 to 8,
and these hours should be devoted to
arithmetic and English grammar.
From 3 to 4 is the poorest hour of the
entire school hours. Pupils are ia
tigued, air Of room is more apt to be
bad, the brain is tired and muscles
need exercise. The study section also
had it's share of criticism. The yearly
program also came in for it's share.
Said Mr.. Race, ''study botany in the
spring when nature is ever ready to
assist you. In winter geology and
physiology are best. Specimens
keep fresh longer and are more easily
procured. Above all keep in mind a
plan. Pursue it to the end.''
The lesson in Hinsdale's Am. Govt
for December was given upon chap
ters XIV, XIV, XVI and XVII or from
page 40 to page 1855. Mr.. Race urged
the closer reading of civics and closely
connected notes for reference. The
meeting closed at 4 p. m. to meet the
first Saturday in December at 1:30 p.
m. Program to be announced later.

Mr. Sharpless adds that the only way
he can account for the excess over 100
per cent. is that the composition does
not appear to be uniform. Four de-
examinations were made for iron, Civ
ing results varying from 90.58 per
cent. to 91.74 per cent. In the attempt
to make carbon determination the
the variation in composition was also
noticed. Of these samples, weighing
about three grammes each treated
with potassium-copper chloride, one
sample gave particle of carbon much
larger than pin head, one sample
gave two small specks, while the third
dissolved without giving a trace of
carbon. When treated with hydro
chloric acid all samples, with one ex-
ception, dissolved without giving evil
dence of combine carbon; this one
sample gave very strong odor re-
sembling that given off when dissolv-
ing steel in hydrochloric acid. About

legged promise to move the postoffice
around on Washington avenue-prob-
ably in a portion of the Commercial

There will be plenty of rumors
around to make the fight interesting.
More candidates may jump into the
arena, and any one of the present un-
announced candidates may have as
good chance as any of the announced
candidates. The GAzETTE's only re-

luck and hopes that they all can get a

A REAL METEOR.
Some Nickel, but Nearly All Iron
Found In 1t.

Supt. S. j. Race has received from
State Geologist Winchell a piece of
the Arlington iron, etched on one side
so as to show the Widmanstattian fig
ures. It will be remembered that this
iron was found on the farm of Jos.
Barry, ST., in Sibley county, q miles
northeast Of Arlington, in March, 1894.
AS it was found on field that had
long previously been cultivated, in the
rich black soil and far away from any
highway, in level country free from
stone, it was confidently believed by
the owners to be meteor, and the
boy who found it, Joe Barry, Jr., ex-
poets it had some value as curiosity.
Four and one-half pounds were brok-
en- off by sledge hammer from one
corner, previous to which it was some
what heart-shaped. The missing
prong from this break was a precise
counterpart in shape to the remaining
one. An analysis of the iron made by
F. F. Sharpless is as follows:
