GOOD RESULTS ATTAINED

!
 By Work of E. B. Foote Boys Club. The manufacturing interests of New Haven are varied. All kinds of raw ma teriaI are submitted to various more or less intricate processes and the result ant product is sold at fair margin of profit to the manufacturer.
 No concern has a more unique bus mess than the one located at 964 Chapel street. The raw material can be wit messed going into the factory every sim gle week day night after o'clock. The ordinary name applied to this "a wna- teriaI is boys" The finished product is termed "an round men," It takes money to transform boys into men. The vital question before the company doing this kind of work is where are the people who will pay for the finished product when it is once turned out.
 Eight hundred boys have already been enrolled on the membership books of the Edwin Bancroft Feote Boys club. Eight hundred boys have had the opportunity to meet with cultured people and gain new inspiration for life duties. Eight ! hundred boys have had the use of good clean literature, hot and cold baths, games. . .s..a
 1 Such a work ought to be maintained and supported liberally. The keen, clear-eyed, practical New York business man who surveyed the situation and made the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club a possibility by putting thousands of dollars into it, believes in boys. He knows, however, that no organization that lacks the warm hearted support oi a community will have prosperous fu- ture. For this reason the club is moi endowed. In time there will be per. manent income which will supply some
 of the needed money for the daily ex. Ipenses. but until that time comes g great responsibility is placed on the general public. A number of people mus
 be found who will give very liberally Howard the club. Some have already done so. What Is now needed is al least 1000 individuals who will give z practical demonstration of their belle
 in this club by attending the benefi
 to be given on December in the Fly lperion theater.

DICK HOWELL DECIDED IT.

A number of men made a "poor' upon the result of the Yale-H Harvard game at one of the offices in the police and char ities building Saturday, the one guess ing nearest the score of the contest to win the money. The closest scores were Yale F, Harvard 6, and Yale 10, Har- yard 2. As the game ended with a score of Yale 16. Harvard Q, there was much discussion as to which came the closer, and the matter was finally left to Dick Howell, sporting editor of the Bridgeport Herald, to decide. He said that Yale 1T, Harvard 6 had won, be- cause it was only seven points out of the way of the real score, while the other guess was eight points out of the way. It was considered unlucky to win the pot" because there was only half a dollar in 1t and the winner had to buy sixty cents worth of cigars to treat the crowd. Bridgeport Paper
