Tn most in stances the delegates have addressed, in separate meetings, the men who expect to come to college next fall and the aims of the Y M. c. A. have been set forth. Considerable effort has been made, also. to interest the men in the Northfield conference and to get as many men to attend aa possible.

 LOCAL NCJAL NOTES.

MT. Dunscomb, of Dunscomb & Jen- nison, bankers, New York, said this week that public sales of municipal bonds all showed a higher range of prices than for many years, and in a number of notable instances record prices had been made. He said that the market was almost bare of first class eastern city bonds, and there was no danger of such going begging. He predicted very high price for any issues of New York city or Philadel phia bonds which may be sold this summer, saying that the demands of investors for these securities were not likely to be satisfied by the amounts expected to be issued. He said there was no danger of lower prices for any class of municipals in his opinion-cer- tainly not for the bonds of eastern mu- nicpalities.
 E H. Gay, of F. H. Gay & Co.,, eX- presses the opinion that New York sav- ings banks will soon follow the example of certain Boston savings banks, and reduce the rate of interest paid deposit tors to 3 per cent. He says that the tendency of municipal bonds is toward higher prices. These securities are now selling. so as to net the investor only a small fraction over per cent This condition he regards as permanent. He said:
 Tt was supposed in New England that the passage of amendments to the savings bank laws of New York. Mas sachusetts and Connecticut would tend io reduce the price of municipals by in creasing the supply of available bonds for swings bank investment. Precisely the opposite effect is noted. Savings bP K officers show no inclination to le advantage of the new laws and tle demand for their favorite municipal bonds is keener than ever. Since the passage of the amendments referred to- the public sales in Massachusetts have resulted in higher prices than recent sales of the bonds of the same munich palities, before the amendments were passed"

 And the Donors of It's Beautiful Drives
 A Gifted Writers Errors In Local
 History.
 The excellent and well illustrated ar ticle in this months issue of the New England Magazine by Walter Allen of this city has created much interest ir town and has been read by many of our people, to most of whom it was a surprise to read in the portion of the article relative to East Rock, the fol- lowing:
 Three generous citizens Professor Henry w. Farnam, Hon. James F. Eng fish and Thomas R. Trowbridge Esq, have at their own expense, constructed drives by which the top of East Rock may be gained by gradual ascent" etc.
 All old residents of New Haven are familiar with the fact that the drives name of it's respective donor, were re- spectively built and donated to New Haven by the late Henry Farnam, fa- ther of Professor Farnam, E. Hayes Trowbridge, and the late ex-Governor James E. English. MT. Allen is in error in attributing the honor of building and donating the Farnam and Trowbridge drives to the gentlemen he named. MT Farnam, the donor of the Farnam drive, was one of the builders of the original portion of the now famous Chicago and Rock Island road and the latter part of his long and honorable life when retired from business was spent in this city and the beautiful home that he built on Hillhouse avenue is still one of the at- fractions of that avenue. F. Hayes Trowbridge, the donor of the TroW- bridge drive, is one of our best known and most prominent townsmen; and he not only gave to the city the drive which bears his name, but built also at his own expense the beautiful bridge cost ing over $5,000 which spans the Trow- bridge drive at one of it's most pictur- esque spots.
 In another part of the article in which MT. Allen draws attention to the beau tiful memorial window at Center chuch, MT. Allen falls into another serious er- TOT. The illustration of the window given in the magazine is designated the Davenport memorial window" whereas the window in question is the TroW- bridge memorial window a gift to Gen. ter church from F. Hayes Trowbridge in memory of his father, the late Eze- kiel H. Trowbridge, who is well remem- bered by our people as for many years one of our foremost citizens prominent ly identified with New Haven's great commercial and railroad interests.
 The subject of this beautiful window is commemorative of the first sermon preached in New Haven by John Daver1- port to the colonists under the spread ing branches of the famous old oak which stood at the corner of George and College streets

The Senators viii play the Phi.adelphias
at National Park this afternoon, and Cap
tain Cooley's Quakers viii meet Just ret1i-
button for having defeated the Washing
tons by the handled score of 9 TO /
at Philadelphia last Friday. Weyhing or
Dinneen VIII pitch for the locals, while
! Piatt will probably be called on to bear
the hrunt OF battle for the visitors. The
game viii be an interesting one from start
to finish.
The Quakers lead the League in batting
and on their ability TO make base hits they
base their claim that they will be factors
in the race sor the pennant. Their pitch
ing staff has been disappointment, and TO
the inefficient work OF the twirlers is due
their fall from second place. Donahue has
been the clubs mainstay in the box, al
though Plat and Fraser occasionally 90
good work. Some of the Philadelphia
sporting writers are firmly OF the opinion
that the umpires Of the League have band
ed together in a diabolical plot to prevent
the Quakers from winning the pennant, and
that their fiendish work is responsible for
the fact that the team does not lead the
League today.
To an outsider it would appear that the
main trouble is the irregularity with which
the club bats and fields. The local fans,
however, will be able TO diagnose the
trouble after witnessing today's game.

The Terrors of the Red Ant.

The red ant is born fighter and is one
Of the most annoying pests OF the Indian
jungle. Not only is its bite extremely
painful, but its tenacity is such that, hav
ing once driven its mandibles into your
flesh, it will allow itself TO be pulled to
pieces sooner than quit its hold. | was on
one occasion Ia traveller relatesJ witness
of an encounter with these ants that. al
though serious enough for those directly
concerned, had its amusing side While
out with forest shooting party | OBJ
served the elephant in front Of the one
was riding bear down long overhanging
creeper that depended from the boughs
overhead. Almost Immediately colony
OF red ants descended in q shower on the
heads of the unfortunate occupants of the
guddee, or cushioned seat, on the ele-
plants pad. The scene that followed was
a lively and exciting one. The victims,
who were all natives, made frantic efforts
TO escape, for the insects, angry at having
been thus rudely disturbed attacked them
furiously. One native man, yelling with
pain, made a most undignified retreat, by
way of back somersault over the ele-
plants tail. while the mahout driver
leaped from his perch into mass of under
growth, where he made frantic efforts to
free himself of his venomous attackers.
The two or three remaining natives, after
dancing "iiuiy ou tHe pau, ph"lnB tue air,
thrashing themselves, and making other
efforts to dislodge the intruders, finally
slid down the side and howled for assist
ance. AS for the elephant. which, by vir-
tue of its tough hide. was antproof, it
stood complacently looking on, and doubt
less wondering what could have occasioned
the strange antics of its riders. 1t took
us long time to clear the pad of the red
invaders, which literally covered 1t, while
as for the bitten natives, they had lost all
further appetite for hunting that day.
