 nt l2 O'Clock.

The game will start at 3 o'clock, the
 gates opening at 12. Every preparation | has been made to insure order and pro- 1 vide against a tangle of teams on the
 roads at the approach to Yale field. i Mayor Driscoll and First Selectman | Main of Orange have issued an order
 closing Derby avenue for this afternoon. | This was done in view of the petition presented by members of the Yale Field
 corporation and the manager of the
 Yale University Football association
 asking that the people attending the
 football game be protected from injury | by closing Derby avenue to carriages ! during the hours of the game.
 | A much smaller squad of police will
 be required this year, in the opinion of
 the authorities, than ever before Fifty from this city and the same number of 1 special constables from the town of Or ange have been engaged. In former years it has been customary to engage a large force of patrolmen from neigh boring cities. It is a mark of respect to
 a football crowd that smaller number
 of policemen is required each succeed ing year to handle it.
 Everything is in readiness on the part
 of the Fair Haven and Westville cleo
 tric road for the transportation of the
 immense throngs who will want to go
 by the cars to see the game. MT. Can
 dee of the railroad office said last night
 that one hundred cars would be oper-
 ated on the Chapel street route from
 State and Chapel to the field. The new
 tracks are laid not only from the bridge to the gate of Yale field, but out to For est street, which is the main street from
 Savin Rock to Westvlle. This street will be identified by most people as be- ing the one on which Donald G. Mitch ell resides It is about as far from Yale field gate as the gate is from the Derby avenue bridge. The new track is dou- ble track from the bridge to Yale field gate, and from thence to Forest street is a single track. On this Forest street extension the extra cars will be station ed while the game is in progress. The railroad company will operate the ex- tension it's full length not only to-day, but every day from now on. The West Chapel street and Yale field run will hereafter be to Forest street.
 The cars will run to Yale field and | return every fifteen to twenty seconds. | The incoming special trains will com to arrive at about 12 o'clock and | fifty cars will be run straight from the depot to the tild, commencing at Il | o'clock. Fifty more will start at Tenn pie street, so that the procession will be regular up the street to the field com at that hour The great rush of people will start by F o'clock, as the game begins at ? sharp.
 If Yale wins the town will be hot town tonight, and demonstrations of icy will make the welkin ring.
