 At a meeting of the Merrimac A. C.. last night James Hayes was elected manager for the football eleven for the coming season and William J. Me Donald was appointed manager of the second team w. F. Mcdonald and l William Ghent, who were the respec- | tive managers of the first and second elevents last fall, did not desire q re- nomination. James Hayes, the new
 manager of the first team, is by no
 means stranger in the managerial field. He has been manager of the Jeffersons since the resignation of Jos
 eph Reid, whose assistant he was for
 several years. He was also assistant
 manager of the Jefferson football team
 q few years ago and he was also one
 of the best players on the team. The
 new manager intends to have as strong
 if not stronger eleven than the eleven
 which so we'll represented the club last
 year Several of the old players will
 be back into the game and there will
 be an abundance of new material for a
 team. William T. Mcdonald has all the qualities which tend to make a
 successful manager.

 practically the same crowd that occu-
 pies the spectators's gallery every
 morning in the year and whenever
 there happens to be no business on
 hand the visitors feel as much disap-
 pointed as if they had bought tickets for a show and learned at the last mo- ment the performance had been post | poned Whenever there is anything ! unusual on the number of callers is so great that half of them cannot be
 accommodated and an officer is kept busy ushering those who cannot find room on the inside into the alleyway between the Scovill house and the city ! hall building. where the evicted par ] ties hold an indignation meeting and roundly denounce the court officials in I general and the police that showed ! them the door in particular.
