Ha will be examined at a special meeting to be held tomorrow at o'clock. Off, cer John Cavanaugh was granted ten days off from October 26 Supernumer. ary Officer Wharton M.

He is now 32 years of age, according to his applica- tion, and he fears that he will exceed the age limit for the regular force, 35. before he will be appointed. His ap- plication was filed.
 Kennedy and Cassidy, attorneys, mo- ti1ed the board in a somewhat lengthy communication to the effect that their client, August Anderson, while walk ing on Burton street, was kicked by a fire engine horse, and that tbgy would look to the city for damages Ander. son is still laid up.

Luns ny would give the required service for $1, TOO a year on three year contract. This matter was discussed and it was decided to have such contract en- tered into.

DELAY GETTING RANGE.
Officers Want to Know Why One Has
 Not Been Secured.

New Haven, Oct 6.-Oficers of the Second regiment, who have received orders to travel to the state range at Wallingford to qualify as- marksmen, are disposed to criticise those re- sponsible for the delay in securing Q state range in New Haven. Last April the lease on the Westville range expired and the regiment has been without a rifle range since. The mat ter of securing another range was taken up at that time. Several sites were selected, but no land has been leased and the officers are in doubt whether the regiment is going to have a rife range In New Haven.
 1t is probable that at the next meeting of the officers association the matter will be brought up and an explanation asked for.

LIKES THE PLAN.

When asked what he thought of the move by the Waterbury board of edu- cation, Superintendent A. B. Mather of Meriden said: Tits a grand good thing and should be adopted in every town. I have always favored the pro- position and hope some day to see it adopted in Meriden. It would not be we'll to bring the matter up at this time, when the schools are in need of so many Improvements, but in the flu ture the subject should be discussed and some day action ought to be ,ta- ken.''

ToDAY's FOOT BALL BATTLES.
Big College Teams Should Score Easy
Victories,

George Washington and Western Mary
land at Washington.
Lafayette and Gallaudet at Easton.
Pennsylvania and Lehigh at Franklin
Field.
Harvard and Maine at Cambridge.
Yale and Pennsylvania State College at
New Haven.
Princeton and Washington and Jeffer-
son at Princeton.
Columbia and Williams at New York.
Cornell and Hamilton at Ithaca.
Annapolis and Virginia Military Institute
at Annapolis.
Carlisle Indians and Bucknen at Will
Transport.
West Point and Dickinson at West Point.
Syracuse and Colgate at Syracuse.
st. Johns and Franklin and Marshall at
Annapolis.
Haverford and Rutgers at Haverford.
Michigan and Kalamazoo at Ann Arbor.
Chicago and Perdue at Chicago.
Union and Rochester at Schenectady.
Buffalo and Colgate at Buffalo.
Illinois and Washington at st. Louis.
Wisconsin and Marquette at Madison.
In the above list none of the big teams
are up against hard games today. Lehigh' 8
strength can be gagged by the score of
twenty points scored against her by
Swarthmore last Wednesday. Pennsyl-
vania. barring fumbles. should easily top
that score today If she tries.
Probably the most interesting game on
the list is that between Yale and the Penn
sylvania State College scheduled for New
Haven. State put up a pretty stiff game
when she played Penn and deserved to win.
That was before Penn showed her spirit.
However, State is strong enough to try
Yale out little bit now that the blue
has a few cripples on hand. Yale will
probably not win by a larger total than
twenty points.
For the real fierceness the game between
Carlisle Indians and Bucknell at Williams
port will be the game of the day, unless
the Bucknell team is not as strong as It
thinks it is. Williamsport is all excited
over the event and Bucknell has bostered
up all her cripples and hopes to give the
Indians some medicine.
