Among the states to present bids are New York, Ohio and Massachusetts.

The guests were seated at small tables, which were decorated with cut flowers The ends of the large dining hall were decorated with palms and evergreens, and be hind a bank at one end of the hall was stationed Fichtl's orchestra, which gave delightful program, consisting largely of popular airs.

sTRIKERs' DAILY STATEMENT
Says Woman Was at the Lever or
 Naugatuck Gar.

says woman was at the Lever on
 Naugatuck Gar.
 The strikers executive committee is sued bhe following statement this af- ternoon:
 It is now IA days since we went out on strike against the trolley com pany, and we are still holding our own with a tenacity such as is shown only where justice is the predominat1ng ele- ment of the struggle. And, we are happy to say, and feel thankful be- yond words for, the public is with US to the limit and keeps on walking
 Our showing up of the outrageous conduct that has been going on between hhe strikelbreakers and disreputable female characters of this city on the cars, has opened peoples eyes and the company is receiving deserved criticism for 1t. On the Naugatuck line on Mon day morning, just below Union City, one of those females went out onto the rront platform and ran the car for the motorman to Naugatuck It seems those fellows have become so cheeky that they carry on in this way now even in the daytime. And a miss of a run meant discharge often when we VoAA AAASNA dOI JAG COIupduy.&5 HOW gTeat a change! The car on which thig oc- cured, we have been informed. was the second car in the morning from this city.
 ''The trial of the members of our union, which began yesterday in the superior court, was this morning con tlnued until tomorrow morning. in < order to give time for calling in q larger number of jurors to select from. So far the attorneys of our men have fought out every point in a manner which indicates that the defense will fight to the last ditch to clear them of the charges on which they are being tried.
 Strike Breaker Lane is back in town again, and it is rumored that Frank Miller, the extra warbler who starts the cars from the center, is to be dropped for him. Lane seems to be pretty well liked by the men, while Mil Ter is looked upon dfsuespectfully by most all of the men and is said not to give very good satisfaction to the com pany.
 ''We have been informed that some of the strike breakers run right over the railroad crossings without taking the preca1Ition to have the conductor go ahead and see if the tracks are clear. This ds serious offense and is worth investigation

WILL BE HARMONIOUS.

That Is the Outlook For Ohio RepubIi-
 can Convention.
 Columbus, O., June 3.--The prelimin- ary conferences of the republican state convention here to-day indicate that the session under the temporary organ ization at o'clock this afternoon will be harmonious, but that there will be an attempt tomorrow to break the so- called slate for minor places on the state ticket. Prior to the delegates coming here, all candidates for the gu bernatorial nomination had with drawn except NIyron T. Herrick of Cleveland and Albert Douglas of Chill ..sicothe.
 The delegates will meet by congress sional districts this afternoon to select their members on the various commit tees. At the meeting of the delegates of the eleventh district, who are in structed for Douglas, they will be pre- <sented with letter from their candi- date relieving them from instructions and leaving Herrick without opposi- ton.
 Large posters appeared everywhere about the city to-day reading, No third termerS. The gallant E0raker was once defeated for third term. Don't jeopardize Hanna's reelection"
 This poster has revived the agitation of 1889, when Foraker was re-nom- mated for third term for governor and the democrats elected James B. Campbell as governor and majority of the legislature that chose Calvin s. Brice as United States senator, that being the last time that the republicans lost the state. It is conceded that the opposition is not so much against third termers' as against slate which 1t is claimed was fixed by a couple of men long before any ofs the delegates were selected. The attack on third termers" is made because two of the three who are seek ing third terms are believed to be on the slate.
 The feature of the convention to-day will be the speech of Senator Hanna as temporary chairman.
 The opening event tomorrow will be the speech of Senator Foraker on as- stunning his duties as permanent chair. man.

ATHLETIC FIELD.
"Art" Griswold Opposed to
 Trolley Co Building on it
GOT OUT INJUNCTION TO-DAY
Work Was Stopped on New Power House for the Time Being-Judge Business is Booming Again.

The trolley company has another fight on its hands. Some time ago the company rented the Athletic field to Arthur c. Griswold for term of years, which 1t seems will not expire for another year or so. The company is now building new power station on part of the premises and has practically completed the foundation walls and was getting ready to push the rest of it when MT Griswold got out an injunction restraining the com pany from proceeding further, with the result that operations ceased. It is understood that the company takes the position that Mir Griswold was to va cate the land whenever the company wanted to use it for business purposes and inasmuch aS there will be no ball playing there this season it is not re- garded as a hardship upon MT Gris- wold to surrender possession now. But Mr'Griswold does notlook at it this way and intends to make stubborn fight to hold the grounds until the expiration of his lease, and claims that so long as he complies with the conditions of his contract it makes no difference to the company whether there is ball playing there or not.
 The injunction was dissolved this aJf- ternoon by Judge Peasley, so that work can now proceed and probably the par ties will get together on the question of damages.
