ATHLETES TO MEET.

High School Athletic Association to
 Convene Wednesday,
 A meeting of the athletic association of the New Haven high school will be held next Wednesday afternoon at 1:10 o'clock In the Boardman session loom. There is a great deal of business to be transacted at this meeting
 The election of the football manager and his assistant for next year will take place. The election of managers for the class baseball teams will also be in order Elliot was manager of last years football team, but he will be un- able to hold the position next season, as he will be graduated from the school in June Meyer was his assistant and is spoken of for the position of man. ager next year.
 The report of Harry Ross, captain and manager of the basketball team, will be heard. The mana ger has a deficit of about SEQ to announce. One reason that basketball does not pay is that the team has to pay S6 or $S a night for the use of Anderson's gym nasium. and when a team comes here they have to guarantee so much toward their railroad fare If the high school had a gymnasium of its own the ex- pense of the hall would be eliminated.

FIREMEN TRANSFERRED.
Chief Fancher Makes Number of
 Changes.

Chief Fancher Makes Number of Changes
 Chief Fancher of the fire department Saturday evening made the following transfers: James H. Cronogue from hook and ladder No. 2 to hook and lad der No. 1; Dennis Fitzpatrick, from hook and ladder No. 4 to hook and lad der No. 2; Julius Horn, from No to hook and ladder No l; John P. Ryan. from hook and ladder No. i to hook and ladder No. 1; Thomas J. McGraw from
 No. to No, As house: James Mortell
 from No II to No. [; Philip Tyrell,
 from No. 4 to hook and ladder No. S.
 Two of the newly appointed firemen
 were also assigned to houses by the
 chief, They are Daniel Hally to hook
 and ladder No. and John J. Deylin.
 to No. 6.
 Chief Fancher, in discussing the transfers, stated that they were all made so as to bring the men nearer
 their homes. He said that the appoint ment of the extra men had given him
 chance to accommodate the men in
 that particular
 The changes go into effect immediate ly and the men will be pleased to learn Of them.
 It is of interest to know that the old est permanent member of the fire de-
 partment, in point of service, is Chief Fancher and Master Mechanic Thomas
 Sherdman, who was appointed as a per-
 manent engineer in 1869, when he was appointed as engineer of No. 2's en-
 zine. On November 1, 1893, Mir. Sherd- man was appointed as chief engineer and master mechanic, and he Is hold ing that position in & most satisfactory
 manner at the present time. His head quarters are at No. S's engine house with a branch workshop at No. 7s house. Chief Engineer sherdman has charge of all the fire hydrants in the city. Chief Sherdman is a most eff cient fireman and is enjoying splendid health.
 The oldest member of the fire de- pertinent, taking into consideration his time of service as 'call fireman" is Augustus Hand, who became a call man on september D, 1oot. Ile Ielhdlheu dS
 call man until 1874 when he was ap-
 pointed a permanent man, as hose wagon driver Tn 1890 MT. Hand was appointed as battery man and one of
 the signal men at fire headquarters
 MT. Hand holds that position to-day and in spite of advancing years he is enjoying excellent health.
 Fireman Hand or "Gus" as he is call-
 ed by his many friends, is a most popu- lar member of the department.
