THE BLUES ANNUAL BALL.
Held In the Armory Inst Night-A Great
Success,

The annual ball of the National Blues
was held in the Second Regiment ar
mory last evening and it was a signal
success. The committee in charge did
excellent work in the matter of decora-
ton, and the armory presented very
attractive appearance. The side walls
We're hidden from view by pink and
white bunting, while great streamers OF
red, white and blue stretched from every
portion of the building. At regular in
tervals along the side walls were placed
large banners bearing the names of the
former captains Of the company. Be
low each one of these banners were
placed two guns in the shape of cross
and a knapsack and canteen The grand
military march was started at 10 O'CLOCK,
headed by Colonel Burpee and Adjutant
Welles, followed by Captain Smith, re-
tired, and Lieutenant Hotchkiss and
large number of the military guests. At
ter the military march came the grand
march, which was led by Lieutenant
Hotchkiss and Miss Pope, followed by
200 couples. The guests present includ-
ed Colonel Burpee, Lieutenant Colonel
Callahan, Major Theodore III. Sucher,
Surgeon Major J. HI. Townsend, Captain
LaBarnes Of Wallingford, Captain
Bradley and Lieutenant Kramer of
Company I, Meriden, Lieutenant Siebs
of Bridgeport, and many others. 1t was
the general opinion of all present that
the ball was one of the most successful
ever held by the company.

Principal Scudder's Circular on the
Subject.

A new circular recently issued by
Principal Scudder of the High school
bears upon the idea of raising the stand
ard of learning among the eighth grade
pupils of the grammar schools. The
circular will be sent to every teacher in
this grade in the different schools from
which pupils enter the high school, and
is in reality a report of the work of the
fourth year pupils of the last five
months. The report not only shows the
pupils standing in his various studies,
but gives the comments of the different
teachers under whom the pupil has
studied as to his mental equipment on
entering the school, and as to why he or
she has or has not succeeded. Thus, if
a pupil is deficient in any study or
studies, and has wasted time, is mis-
chievous, lacks concentration or lacked
previous ira ming, it is all indicated in
this report for the benefit of the teacher
of the eighth grade and of the pupils
who are to enter the high school the
ensuing year.
The plan is intended to accomplish
some splendid results along the lines
for which it is designed, not only as
help to the teacher but to the pupils
themselves as WE'LL as showing the
things wherein their predecessors have
failed. Too many pupils, it has already
been shown, enter the high school with
very inadequate ideas as to what they
are to do and as to what studies to pur-
sue and this latest circular of Princi-
pal Scudder's is intended for just these
cases

YOUNG REPUBLICANS ENTERT4TN
Ladies' Night Last Evening Greatlv
EnfOyeu.

The members of the Young Mems Re-
publican club gave their club house IN
to their lady friends last evening, and
one OF the most enjoyable affairs ever
given by the club was the result. Early
in the evening the members and their
guests began to arrive and by half-past
eight, with the club house over-run.
they We're still coming in, while mem
bers of the club on every hand realized
how inadequate the present club house,
large as 1t is, is to accommodate its
present members.
The membership of the club is now
over 1000 and the expectation is that be-
fore May the number will be 1000. If
this is so, and the present plan of CIV
ing these ladies' nights more frequently
is carried out, the present club house
will need to be changed for a more COM
modious one before long.
The affair last evening was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who attended, and as
result of the earnest efforts of the COM
mittee in charge, consisting of Chair
man Frank S. Hamilton, jr., and Harold
Cook, the clubs ladies' nights will be
even more eagerly looked for hereafter.
The entertainment, consisting Of musi-
cal and literary selections by some Of
New Haven's best talent, was especially
enjoyed, Frank S. Hamilton's whistling
being encored repeatedly, while some
selections on the banjo by George A.
Austin were also well received. The
complete programme was as follows:
Selection--Albert Williams Orchestra.
Recitation-Miss Mae Hayes.
Soprano Solo--Miss May Duey.
Banjo and Whistling Duet-George A.
Austin and Frank S. Hamilton.
Dialogue-Mr Ottres.
Banjo Solo--George A. Austin.
Piano Solo-Albert Williams.
Fifteen minutes talk on Life of WASH
ington"-E. C. Hill.
Following this light refreshments
We're served, after which dancing was
INDUCED in until u o'clock by many,
while other of the ladies inspected the
house or played pool, as the fancy seized
them.

c. e. Union

The rooms of the Central Y. M. c. A.
were thronged last night, the occasion
being reception rendered to the men,
bers of the association by the local
Christian Endeavor union. 1t was an
exceedingly enjoyable affair, and was
attended by at least 400 people. The
need of a Y. NJ. G. A. building was new
err more strongly emphasized than last
night. The crowd was an unusually
large one, and the present quarters
We're hardly adequate to the demand.
During the early part of the evening a
short programme was rendered In the
gymnasium. There We're several selec-
lions by the H. HI. S. chorus club and
the Fl. Fl. S. banjo club. Little Miss
Isador Goldberg of Fair Haven gave
number of recitations and received
hearty encores The religious director
of the association, the Rev. Alexander
F. Irvine, made an appropriate address.
The remainder Of the evening was spent
in social intercourse. Refreshments
were also served. Miss EllSins was
chairman of the committee that ar
ranged for the reception.

The Bridgeport police had not up to
yesterday afternoon secured the horse
stolen from E. b. Russell of Orange,
which was driven to that city. Super
intendent Birmingham believes that he
will nab him before the week is out.
The thief who stole the horse was APP
parently a chicken thief also, as num-
Der of stray fowls were found in the
West End, where a horse and wagon
answering the description of the miss
ing rig were seem The Bridgeport po-
lice were notified from this city that
Mr.. RusselPs team might pass that way.
The man who stole the horse is believ-
ed to be one of an organized gang of
horse thieves who transact business in

Drying preparations simply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and de-
compose, causing a far more serious
trouble than the ordinary form of ca
tarrh. Avoid all dry inhalants and use
that which cleanses, soothes and heals.
Ely's Cream Balm Is such remedy and
will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. A trial size will
