factory Of New Haven IS that calleo
 the city hall, which dispenses city gov
 ernment in large chunks. Gaughter.)
 The chief executive of that institution
 is son of Yale: and if we had more
 sons of Yale under him we would now
 have less cause to complain of our ofi-
 cers. We elect men who are not edu-
 cated or fitted for the positions they are
 to fill They are doing business they
 are not adapted for, and whose fault is
 1t? It is manifestly our fault, and why
 should not our New Haven Business
 Mems association and chamber of com
 merce have committees on local nomi-
 nations to reject those who are unfit
 whom they discover on the voting tick

 General Bradley said that New Haven
 is pre- -eminently fitted as a place of
 business. That was the intention of it's founders when they chose it's site for settlement and since the civil war it's commercial importance is becoming realized; so that now we have some of the largest manufactories in the coun- try, and are reaching out after more. with railroads branching out" said he, lin six different directions, and with ample wa ter communications through the wealthiest and most populous sec- ton of the country, there is no reason why New Haven should not become one of the country's great business cen- ters.''
 Speaking of the private enterprises in the city General Bradley believes that with our splendid transportation facili- ties and brainy business men we ought k- I.o hnIi t,, couraging and assisting all the indi- viduals we have and in using all fair and legitimate means to bring in new blood. We want manufac cturers to come in, and we will find them not only good sites at fair values, but give them good fire and police service. If we can en- large our manufacturing facilities com- mensurate with out business situation, we will prepare ourselves for Q great wave of prosperity.
 The toast by Rev George H. Ferris, of the Calvary Baptist church, entitled "The Standards of the Street." was roundly cheered as one of the most bril- liant of the evening. Excellent stories told with rare wit and good humor were followed by words that bore the stamp of character The standards of the street mark the morals of the na- tion; there is no success but character; tell me the politics and religion of a community and I have material for seven eighths of it's history;-such sen timents received hearty applause.
 Hon. Morris F. Tyler, treasurer of the Yale corporation, spoke briefly on ''Natural Monopoles as They Affect Business Men" He said: T believe heartily in the utterance of the previous speaker when he said that success is not to be measured by mans stuff and I would apply the same rule to corpo- rations Their work is not to be meas ured by the amount of money they make but how we'll they discharge their duty to the community. The first thing for the manager of a corporation to consider is the performance of that duty the best he knows how. A person or corporation that discharges its duty well is sure to get ample reward. "But there is duty due from the public to the corporations. Members of corporation are in a position where they can get but limited return for what they put in, and this return must not be endangered.
 This is one of the standards of the street which I hope corporation man. agement as a whole will in time under stand and act upon, to stand by its duty to the public, and none the less should we bear in mind the duty of the public toward the corporation
 Rev. Dr. Watson l.. Phillips spoke forcefully on the theme Merchants, Ministers and Municipalities. He said that the elevating university element and the stimulating business element of New Haven should combine for the ideal progress of the city. Speaking of bringing manufactures here he said: Tn inducing them to come here I would go even farther than General Bradley and advocate under some circumstances to reduce the taxes for them as we'll as to procure desirable sites"
 Dr. Phillips sounded a warning to the business men about the saloons of New Haven, which he said were too thickly planted along the streets for the advan- tage of legitimate business. Let me take occasion,' said he, Ito speak against the Sunday night entertain ments which are being foisted upon us to keep our young people away from in- f1uences that will do them good. And especially I call upon you to unite with the ministers of this city and send an appeal to the legislature opposing the bill now before it revising the pool sell ing law. Should this law be passed it would be one of the worst calamitles that could befal the state'' Rufus S. Jackson, president of the state board of trade, was then called upon and spoke briefly in favor of unit ing the cities and rural towns of the | state by business associations. Hon. Daniel Goodsell, president of | the Bridgeport board of trade, and l Richard H. Tyner, the newly appointed | attorney of the New Haven association, ' were the last speakers before the dinner closed at about 12 o'clock
 Landlord White, who had declared | his intention to make up the finest | menu that the season could produce, did ! not belle that intention. It was re- membered by the members that the din- ner was chef docuvre and taken with the exceptional enthusiasm and ability of the speakers 1t made the occasion thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. White was heartily congratulated for his fine suc- cess.
 The following gentlemen were seated at the guest table! President, F. I. At
