WEST POINT CADET.
D. seery Hayes Received Notice of
 Successful Examination.


 E. Seery Hayes, son of MT and Mrs T. H. Hayes of North Main street, has come of victorious in the competitive contest held at Yale last week between young men from Mtddlesex and New Haven counties for a cadetship at West Point. At the outset there were twenty in the list. but most of them were disqualified for one reason or an- other, and at the final examination at Alumni hall the number had dwindled down to nine Professor Phillips, who was chairman of the board of ex- aminers, prepared the report and the decision was made public to-day. Mir Hayes was born in Waterbury Febru- ary 29, 1886, leaving him but seventeen years old at his last birthday. MT Hayes passed very successful exam ination winning by sixteen points over the one who came next to him. He is bright young mans a pupil of the Waterbury High school, and has already passed preliminary examin- alton to enter Yale. It is quite an honor not only to the successful candi- date, but also to his family and to the city of Waterbury, to be appointed to West Point Such an appointment Is highly valued and much sought after. To enter West Point is no easy matter. The number of students is limited. Only the best are wanted. It is the first time that a Waterbury young man has received the appointment and Seery Hayes will probably be the first young man from this city to enter West Point.
 Tn an interview with the successful candidates father to-day Democrat reporter learned that the young man will not go to West Point until May 1. 1904, but that he will immediately enter preparatory college
