GOVERNOR AT SHOW Executive is Greatly Pleased With Exhibition at
 Music Hall.
MANY LADIES PRESENT
Third Day Proves Another Big Sue ccss-Much Interest Being
 Shown.

A steady stream of admiring specta- tors flowed into Music hall yesterday afternoon and evening to have a peep at the wonderful collection of automo- piles now being shown in the large and spacious building. In the evening the crowd was specially large. Governor Woodruff was present, accompanied by Major Futile His Excellency was re- ceived by Manager Dill and shown around the big show. The Governor af-
 ter carefully looking over the various machines was conducted to a special box which had been erected for his visit. The decorations were white, and 1t was lighted from an electric chande- Her. Here the Governor conversed with Manager Dill and complimented him on the splendid appearance of the entire show, The decorations greatly pleased him, and the beautiful array of ma chimes more than delighted him. In short he was astonished at seeing such a wonderful display. The ladies were very prominent last night and they seemed to be very much interested in the various machines, They wanted to know all about the intricate parts of the autos. And the men in charge had at times hard work answering all the questions showered upon them. In one instance no less than three young la dies were plying one expert with as many questions at the some moment, Tired of asking questions several of them comfortably took a rest in one or more of the big family equipages. and as they sank down in the lounge-like seats would exciaim, "Oh, my, isn't this lovely?" or 70, dear. wouldn't you like to take a spin in this one?" As usual many enquiries were made at the different stands as to the leading fea- lures of the different machines. The horsepower of each, the number of miles per hour they could run, if the
 tires were puncture- proof, and last but not least, the price. Many prospective buyers were also present during the
 day, and the managers are hopeful of making many sales before the show closes. The Second Regiment band, un- der Bandmaster Fichtl, was again sta- toned in the gallery and greatly de- lighted all present with it's musical se- lections. The show will be open again this afternoon and evening. and Man ager Dill expects a very large attend ance at the matinee and also during the evening. The Corbn cars, which are made in New Britain were one of the centers of attraction as was also the Studebaker display. The White cars also came in for good deal of attention. But like all good shows Tt must he seen to be believed" and a pleasant and instructive as well as an enjoyable hour pr two can be spent by visiting the Music hall tonight.

CLOSEST RIVALRY EXPECTED.
Connecticut National Guard Relay Race Big Event of Nayars Meet.


 Race Big Event of NayaTs Meet.
 Judging from the way that the members of the First Division Naval Battalion of this city are practicing for the sixth annual athletic carnival to be given in the Second Regiment armory on Monday evening, they will win from the closest rival the Second Division of Hartford, which won the meet in that city a short time ago.
 Probably the best event on the pro- gram is the Connecticut National Guard one mile relay race between the First division of this city, Third division: Ninth company, coast artil- lery: Company 1. First infantry: and the Second division of Hartford There are now six men training for the First division team, and 1t looks as if they will have a faster quartet than ever Frank Doyle who holds several rec ords at New Haven High school, Is now a member of the First division. and undoubtedly will be in the relay race.
 Twenty-eeht untried athletes have entered the half-mile novice race which is open. This is the largest number of entries for any event ever run off at the local armory and will prove of great interest. Every one who has ente cd this event has done So with the idea that he will win a gold medal. so that there will he plenty of ''wailing and gnashing of teeth" after the judges have decided the winner
 The tug-of-war between the First and Second divisions Naval Battalion will be the last event on the program but will not be the least. This is one of the hardest events a man can en- ter and is a terrible strain on the con- testants. Following drill last night the men who compose the First dlvi- sion team. did considerable practicing and those whoV witnessed 1t, were much pleased with the outlook.
 For the past week, the wall scaling men have been undergoing consider able hard practice for their company They now think that they will defeat the Hartford boys. by much better time than they did last year. They are at least certain that they can go over tho twelve feet with as much aacrity az in the fifth annual contest held last year.
 Starter Johnny Mack of Yale, says that the first event namely the c. N. c. 40 yards dash, will be started promptly at o'clock. and all other events will be run off as rapidly as possible. The management docs not propose to keep the spectators at the armory all night

 This show is doing some great stunts in advertising. It's latest effu- sion appears in to-day's issue, The band Gmported from New York) will be in evidence it is said, this evening and no doubt will be keyed mp to it's highest pitch to do justice to the oc- casion.
 But aside from all this there is something to be admired in the ef- forts this firm has put forth to bring the Stoddard- Dayton and Maxwell cars prominently before the New Ha- ven public
 Their display in the Steinert build ing. few doors west of Music hall, is one to he admired and the attend ance afternoon and evenings shows that the show is making a hit.

 The response for the Grace hospi- tal fund in the form of numbered tickets-cne of which will entitle the fortunate holder to the free use of a touring car for days outing, Is very gratifying

Driving home the lettering cows
Watching bird and bee.
Singing to the dipping oar,
On the silvery lake;
Strolling on the rocky shore,
Bathing on the sandy floor,
Where the pillows break.

Every breeze conveys!

Shouts of happy girls and boys.
