CLOSE CONTESTS CERTAIN PRACTICE AT THE ARM0RY Professionals Up Against Stiff Propositions in Yale
 Opponents.

The big athletic meet of the Sars- field guard still continues to draw many aspirants for athletic honors to the armory to practice oil the track which is now laid there. The full teams of the Sarsfield's and Navai's were out for practice, Captain Hunter was looking after the Navals and under his management they seem to be coming fast. The Sarsfields however are a more even bunch and there Is very lit- tie to choose between the five men en- tered. Connolly, howver, seems to have the advantage. He is fast to get away and is a mighty plucky finisher
 The big stars from New York will, however be the principal drawing card on Tuesday night Melville Sheppard ran a great race in Boston He gave Kane of the Boston college thirty-two yards and ran him to inches In the 1000 yards in record time. Weeks and Kirjassoff of Yale will be the most dangerous men that Sheppard will meet here and though he will have to concede them long starts still this mar vellous runner will doubtless win,
 O'ConnelL the National champion, once more asserted his superiority by defeating Eaton of Boston. He is certainly the fastest sprinter we have had in long time and 1t will be a treat to see him in the fifty yards dash, Connolly, the New Haven High school champion, who will start from the limit mark, and who has a record of ten seconds to his credit for the 100 yards will undoubtedly make 1t hot for the champion. Especially as Connolly is training conscieniously.
 Matt. MeGratl, the big weight tos- ser, is training exclusively for the heavy shot. He is putting the twenty four pounds sphere record distances and on form will have little difficulty in disposing of the position he will have to meet here.
 For the convenience of the public a clerk has been engaged in the Sars- fields room in the armory Reserved seat tickets will be put on sale there Saturday and any one having bought an ordinary admission can change 1t fer same.

"Since Nellie Went AMa.x.,

Since Nellie Went Away" Mr. Owen Davis latest melodrama, will be ore. sented at the New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights next weekland at the matinee Wednes- day. The main themes of the play are based on the most powerful of human passions, namely, love and jealousy. We see the heroine, Nellie, beautiful. trusting girl reared in ignorance of the baseness and sin of the world. She wins the love of two good, true men ny her beauty and artless charm. While 1t IS to Roy Thatcher, the son of New York millionaire, that her heart IS given, the unfaltering, if hopeless love that Gabriel Farley, the life saver. shows to the heroine, depicts a phase of human nature no less interesting. though infinitely more rare. That the tangled skein of the plot is finally triumphantly unravelled is chiefly ow- ing to Farley's unselhsh devotion. Inc action of the play, which is laid on the and in New York City. mas given q wonderful opportunity for realistic stage setting, and of this that Froh. man of melodrama, A. H. woods. has taken the fullest advantage. Noth- ing has been neglected that could aid in rendering the twelve scenes making up lthe four acts of this captivating love story each a masterpiece of beauty and accuracy.

Tlle Rays in "King Casey''-A Cyclone
 of Merriment.
 The Rays always are greeted with a packed house, so last night was just repetition of past triumphs The house was exceptionally full, however and the way it enjoyed itself was plainly shown by the applause
 The opening act is in the Waldorf Astoria, where a rich western woman, Goldie Mine is staying. It seems her father was saved by the chief of the New York fire department once and Miss Mine wants to show her appre- ciation. The chiefs name is Casey. There is another Casey in the Waldorf, however, and he builds fires in the guests rooms. He is just building his ninety-seventh fire when Miss Mine asks his name. When he says, Casey, the fireman" there has been enough said. Well, they all have a luncheon, in which Casey is under difficulties caused by Rocky Mountain Jack" a suitor of Miss, Mines. Pat" Casey. King of Iaalla Pa Zaza, brother of Casey the fireman, Is off on good time seeing New York, as it were. All the courtiers of the island are after him to bring him back, but he won't go without Miss Mine, so he sends his brother over with them to get rid of them. No one seems to discover the trick until the real king puts in a plea for the throne. He has a good many difficulties in pursuading the people that he is the king since his brother has taken a decided fancy to his ssssSsition. But finally he giys in on condition that he may stay
