His con lecutive victories. when almost every other office went to the republi- cans brought him forward as a state figure and at the last state election he was the democratic nominee for gov ernor against Rollln s. Woodruff of this city. The latter defeated him by over 10000 votes. Tho election in Nor wich yesterday was spirited one and one of the largest votes ever Is report ed. The absences of the contest Is shown by the small majorlties lndlcat- cd above.

ANNIVERSARY, EXERCISES

The anniversary of the Yale School of Fine Arts was held last night and was attended by large audience which filled the south gallery and the exer- cses were sufficiently varied to pre- vent their being In the least dull and uninteresting
 The first number on the program was the report of the dean of the school, Prof. Weir, which follows in part:
 "I will ask your attention to a few brief remarks on the status and work of the School Of Fine Arts during the past year.
 The attendance of students in this department of the university, for yari- ous lengths of time during the year, numbered 42S twelve classes were in operation
 The retirement of Professor Nie- meyer necessitated some reorgani2a- ton of the teaching force of the school for next year, and Mir. Edwin C.

Alderman Miller Says Present Board Has Passed Ten Times Those of Other
 Boards.
WILL DECREASE REVENUE
Boys Allowed to Play in Lots With Owners Consent--Pill Ordl. nance Passed Without
 Dissent.

By the granting of number of rs- quests that flowed quite freely for a time for unanimous consent several matters which came up before the board of aldermen at the monthly meeting last night were at once dis posed of The petition asking that the new Nicolet which is being erected at Grand avenue and Hamilton street be squelched because 1t Is a nuisance was presented by Alderman Miller and the board decided to give the petitioners leave to withdraw. Alderman Gun ningham contended that the petition was premature as the Nicolet has not yet been operated and therefore the residents thereabout cannot determine whether 1t is nuisance or not, Alder man Miller who presented the petition agreed that as 1t had not been started yet the thing could not be a nuisance and the rest of the board took the same view of the matter.
 The one exciting debate of the even- ing took place over the usually prosaic matter of passing orders for abate- nent of taxes, Alderman-at- Large Miller was the man who started the disturbance. He arose when the or- ders were being read for the second time and questioned whether the board had a lega. right to order abatement of taxes on the 1907 list which were due on April 1 but which the taxpayers are given until August 1 to pay. He claimed that no taxes could be abated except those on which liens might be made because they had not been paid and when questioned maintained that no preceding board that he had we're heard of had ever abated taxes that were known as current taxes.
 Considerable discussion was started by this as several of the aldermen disagreed with the opinion of Mir. Mil- Ter. Miller arose and declared that the present board had already abated ten times more taxes in amount than those abated by any previous board , and that If 1t continued at the present rate the city would not collect anyway near the income which had been es- timated and on which appropriations
