 --Letters have been recently received by friends in this section from Patrick Kelly and Joseph Phelan, two well known members of the St Thomas Ca dets A. A., who left several months since to enter the employ of the MagE Yeast Co. The former is at present engaged in doing business in various towns in Massachusetts, while Phalen Is up among the wilds of Maine. Both were enjoying the best of health, so the letters stated.
 The candidates for the St Thomas football eleven had hard practice last night. About eighteen men were in the practice and they were divided into two squads. Captain Eaters will have much difficulty in selecting a team, not because of lack of good material. but of superfuity of excellent material. Trying for the position of backs there are five or six strong candidates, air good players. And so it is with the positions on the line The Fifth Wards of Bridgeport will buck against q strong proposition when they face the cadets next sunday afternoon at the Driving park. A new candidate for the team is player by the name of Peters, who halls from Ansonia. He is q good tackle
 kid Kelly of New Haven, who has q good reputation as boxer in the Elm city and throughout the state. will shortly enter into q course of training at the Brooklyn A. 0. in anticipation of mntclNfwith Kid Lee of this city. Kelly was at the Brooklyn A. c. early in the week and made arrangements whereby be could train at the club. He was expected to appear at the club last evening. but did not show up. He has figured in n number of bouts ana has defeated Kid Conway of New Ha- ven, who was defeated by Harry Gal way of this city at a boxing exhibition given by local club.

Le Main IS fine 1O5 pound boxer and is trying to get on match with first class man of his weight. Kelly will also try to reduce to 105 pounds but he will have to train earnestly to do so.
 The young ladies present at the ."bonnet sociable" given by the Daugh- ters of the Covenant ill the lecture room of the Third Congregational church, last evening, had a merry time at the expense of the young men. The lecture room was tastefully decorated with potted plants and an abundance Of autumn leaves of variegated colors. Occupying conspicuous position was a bushel basket filled with bonnets of all sorts and shapes. The bonnets were sold under the hammer by Rev l Charles B. Granger, who was the ai- ] tioneer. The young men only were the bidders and when the bonnets were bought the purchasers had to ! trim them. It is unnecessary to say that the young ladies enjoyed the ef- forts of the young men to trim the hats. The young men showed that l they were rather inexperienced in the art of millinery. Prizes were awarded to the young men who had the best and worst trimmed bonnets. After tho. awarding of prizes social time followed. The first prize for the best l trimmed hat was awarded to Albert Leffier, while George Ash received the consolation prize.
