New Haven, Feb &c. Captain Thorn
as Of the Yale track team said last
night that there has been no challenge,
either formal or informal, sent to the

plans with the Harvard athletic Of

Yale officials announced last night
that there would be another meeting
of the Harvard and Yale conference

thoroughly thrashed out on both sides
that the members of the joint commit

SAVED FROM THE SEA-

The nautical melodrana, Saved
From the Sea- which will be played at
Polls on Friday evening, is one that
may be classed as extra attractive for
those who love sensational realism and
a play that tells it's story in a way to
keep the interest sustained throughout.
The story is strong, pure and whole
some, containing many thrilling dra-
matte scenes and a number Of light
comedy touches In which various odd
characters are reproduced which will
serve to relieve the strain of the audi
ence during those periods when a light
should be cast upon the shade Of seri-

THE FINAL MEETINGS.

National and American Magnates to
Convene in New York at Early Date.
New York, Feb 26.-Now that uni
form code OF playing rules has been
adopted and the National and Ameri-
can leagues have agreed on their play
ing schedules for the coming season,
it is expected that in a day or two
President Pulliam will call a meeting
of National league magnates to be
held in this city either next week or the
week following. This session will be
of q routine character. there being no
business of consequence TO transact be-
yond the Endorsement of the few
changes the playing rules committee
agreed upon and the ratification OF the
schedule. This will wind up the ssin-
door season" of the National league
magnates.
1t also is probable that President
Johnson will call the American league
club owners together in this city at
about the same time the National
league men are meeting. Johnson's
associates, who apparently know no
more about the location of THE grounds
for the New York Americans than the
players OF that team or the public, are
said to be growing uneasy over the sit-
uation, and they will welcome the an
nouncement which it IS expected John
son will make at this meeting. With
the New York bugaboo out of the way
the American league win have clear
filed, and the two organizations then
will be In position to bid for the favor
and the dollars of the public.

MARY MANNERING.
ea gsSgQ - - - - gsal

Another OF the brilliant theatrical
events Of the current season Is sched-
uled for this evening, when Mary Man.
nering will appear at Polls in THE
Stubbornness of Geraldine" Miss Man
nering made herself very popular in
this city last season by her splendid
portrayal Of the title role OF Janice
Meredith and she is said to have even
a more congenial role in the present
play, which was written especially for
her by Clyde Fitch. 1t is that Of
high-spirited American girl Of the pres
ent day who is stubborn to the point OF
sticking to the man she loves in spite
of all efforts to wean her from him,
and the role lis said to be happily adapt
ed to the rare personal charm of Miss
Mannering and her gift for the por-
travail of hlmor and deep emotion. The
cast, which is the same that appeared
in her support during the New York
run, is made up of such noted players
as Arthur Byron, Amy Ricard, Mrs
Thomas Whiffen. Rosa Cooke, Dene
Woodruff, John G.. Saville, III. Hasard-
Short and others equally well known.
Prices are IS, 80. rs cents, 81 and ST so.
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
There is fun enough surely and nov
city. too, in the current bill at the
Jacques, which in itself accounts for
the excellent attendance that has so far
marked its performances. Whether
it is the headline act presented by
Kathryn Osterman and Edwin Boring
under the title OF saThe Editor the
funny comedietta IA Bachelors Troub-
les" offered by r. H. Hodge and Lille
Hall and their company, or the funny
talk OF the Quigley Brothers, there is
plenty of cause to laugh and be jolly.
And the little wonder. Lola Cotton,
who seems to be a real psychological
wonder, keeps the audience guessing
as she tells articles picked out in the
audience or tells persons names while
she is blindfolded on the stage. There
Is, as said above, comedy enough to
keep everybody In the jolliest humor,
and novelty enough to interest, SO that
the performance throughout is one Of
rare attractiveness Prices are 10, 20
and 80 cents; afternoons 10 and 20
cents, ladies TO-

highest that the international automo-

The bill Of Honorable Scott Montague
authorizing the race passed it's first
reading successfully. but at it's second
reading, Mr. Galloway, member from
Manchester, objected. This served as
a block to its progress until after the
objection has ben stated and either
overcome or made to prevail. Under
[ the rule Mr. Galloway did not have tic
declare the nature of his objection on
Tuesday, when he announced his op.
! position. The argument comes later.
