 Gymnasium.
N. H. H. s. vs. ALUMNI
Preliminary Contest to be Played Be. tween Phi Delta Tau and Omega
 Girls Teams,

The New Haven high school quintet has a game scheduled with the fast high school alumni for Saturday night at Anderson's gymnasium. This game will be very interesting one. for the teams are evenly matched and the chances for winning are even. The alumni team will be composed of many fast players who are making good records in basketball. Some of them are members of the strong Hermes team, while others are play ing or different fast teams of the city. All of those who are to play have played on the high school team and were considered very good players. Bob" Stowe Is to captain the team. He is a very good player and has a good eye for shooting baskets, His team will have all 1t can do to beat the high school team, which is deter mined to capture this game and add this victory to its others. The local team will depend upon Saxe, it's right forward, to score most of it's points, a feat which he has been accomplishing in every game Saxe will be support ed by Dustin at center, Frankel at left forward, and Starkweather, Connolly and Fraser as guards.
 There will be another game on Sat urday night between the Phi Delta Tau girls quintet and the Omegas, rep resenting two secret societies of the high school. The game will be very interesting one, for 1t will decide which Is the best girls team at the high school One game has already been played between these teams, in which the Phi Delta Tau girls were the victors, defeating the Omega girls by score of il to 2. The Tau girls also expect to win this game and will therefore use their substitutes. This will make the game more interesting and close.
 These two teams deserve a great deal of credit, for 1t has been long time since the girls in the high school have participated in this sport, and they should be given support by the mem bers of the school These girls art showing fine school spirit, and the chances are that they will develop good teams in other branches of the girlfs sports It would be a good plan fol the girls to unite. and to pick out 3 team, which should represent the New Haven high school. This team woult then be able to play other high schoo girls basketball teams, and win homo for the New Haven high school
 The Omega basketball team is com posed mainly of juniors, while the Ia, girls are only freshmen
 The lineup will be as follows.

FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Annexation Talk in the Borough Public Lecture at Gran
 niss Hall.

Tn these quiet n,id-winter days, when there is little doing officially over in the borougl, of Fair Haven, there is more or less informal talk regarding the future status of that territory. Some of the residents and taxpayers a,e in favor of going into the city, others would like to have the status remain as at present and few are In favor of building a new fire depart ment house and borough hall. The Journal Courier from time to time has given the views Of citizens on these matters. Regarding the desire of the fremen for new headquarters, lead ing citizen had this to say last night: While I do not blame the fremen who give their services free of charge to the borough, for a new fire house, I do not think that a majority of the tax payers would favor 1t. I for one would prefer going into the city and If a petition to the legislature was to be brought, would gladly sign it. Here tofore I have been in favor Of the borough. but with the demands which are coming up for large expenditures from time to time, I believe that it would be better to get our improve ments under the city, even if we do have to pay a little higher tax Now in regard to fire matters. remember some thirty years or so ago, how Chief Charlie Brown of the borough fire de- partment, who was always public splr- ited, wanted to have petition started for the borough to buy steam fire engine. And I well remember when the matter was talked up. how some of i the taxpayers were against the meas ufe. Probably the borough chief was ahead of the times. And so I would say, that 1t would be little ahead of the times for the borough to build a new fire house. when we can get along very we'll for the present with our present Ire engine house. If there Is to be a call for very much more In the appropriation line and there is dis position to run the borough in debt when we have just freed ourselves from debt, then, tell you, there will be a clamor to join the city. Even if we joined the city, don't believe they would give us steam engine, a little matter that was agitated thirty years ago Probably the city would build ar addition to the present engine house
 station 6 pair of horses there for the chemical apparatus and also two fire
 men and let 1t so at that. With tho steamer so near In East Pearl street, should say that would be sufficient
 Still, this is only my opinion and oth
 CTS may think otherwise. Anyway, tht
 whole question is likely to come up fol
 solution ere very long"

It Is now thought that the endur- ance run arranged by the Hartford Automobile club will cover route of 200 miles, and the running time will be ten hours. The test will be held on the second or third Saturday In May and will have many entries. The route is varied one as regards con- dition of the roads; some of the dis tance is easy, while other parts of it are studded with hills that will give some of the drivers all the work they want There will probably be two classes in the race, one for cars cost ing less than $1,500 and one for cars costing more than that sum.

The rumor that the Packard Auto mobile Co. may purchase the plant of the Electric Vehicle O. Tn Hartford and use it for an eastern plant is good news if it's true news for the Capital City. But a Hartford man who went through the Packard plant in Detroit last month said yesterday that the factory in that city is an i'm mense building and seemed able to take care of the Packard business without trouble, especially as the com pany was ahead in it's orders, and was able to make prompt shipments of cars. On the other hand, it is fact that the Packard company buys parts and tires In Hartford and 1t might be able to use the big shop of the E. V. Co as an eastern branch with profit.

One day this week the smoke was pouring out of the big stack of the old National Wire corporations plant, in a manner to almost remind one of the times when business was booming down there. In fact, some were al- most inclined to believe that the plant had started up again. 1t Is necessary to keep up fires under some of the boilers to prevent damage from freez- ing. There Is not much reason to be- lieve that the plant will be started very soon. It is understood the new owners have not sufficient demand for the output of produce to warrant starting the works. But 1t Is stated that just as soon as the business Is good again this plant will be started and with a large output of product. 1t certainly would improve the busi- ness outlook in this district to have this big plant In full operation again.

England intends to have q goodly representation in the forthcoming Grand Prix. It is well known fact that the French cannot permit the British to run of with this event; needless to say there will be a whole sale representation of French ma chimes. Italy in the past season fig ured the most prominently in racing events which was bitter pill Tor the French who hitherto had things pret- ty much to themselves. Germany will also make a bid for the contest and one concern ie said to have ten ma chimes of high power partially com pleted. Were the French to lose this event to England, the result may well be imagined. The latter has figured prominently in the matter Of sales m the land of the sayety. It is not likely that America will be presented, for the domestic builders are content to meet their foreign contemporaries m the Vanderbilt cup races.
