 Songs and Moving Pictures.

With every act a winner on the bill of vaudeville, the Auditorium had ca- pacity houses on Monday at the mati- ness hour and in the evening. All were so good that the popular favor was almost evenly distributed
 Hearn and Rutter maze up a danc- ing team whose every move is clev- CT one. each young man having a style of his own, whether in hard or soft shoe dancing. On the silver wire, Mile. Omega, a boise perfectionist, presents a high class performance of balancing acts, performed with the greatest ease and grace.
 Claude and Marion Cleveland, who have appeared on this stage before, are back again and better than ever in their snappy song and talking acts. They received a warm welcome upon their reappearance here. A Welsh Rarebit Dream, novelty comedy sketch. is the turn offered by Guy Bartlett & Co.,, in which they make a laughter compelling hit. appearing in blackface Bartlett's rich voice. heard in up to date parodies, is the gem of the entire bill as shown by the re- calls he has to respond to.
 In the moving pictures. the selec- tions are good, and Lillian Morelle's two songs are among the best she has had. Her spot light number is The Kerry Dance, and her picture song is Toodles.

 An Appeal from the Bishop.
 Tn making an appeal that the mis- sionary apportionment shall De met III full, Bishop Brewster says:
 For years it has been my hope that this diocese might raise its appor- tionment The past year Connectlcul was the only diocese in New Englano that did not do so. Please Goo, l hope and shall endeavor, that the dio- cese may be redeemed from that re- proach this year.
 The amount asked from this dlocNe is S27OOO. To some this amount may look large. It means, however, only an average of seventy-one cents rom each of our communicants, many ol whom, I am sure, could, and gladly would, give much mofe.
 At my particular request, a methoo has been Introduced. and pains have been taken, to the end that the ap- portionment upon the parishes anc missions be laid with some discrimlna- tion and as fairly as possible. l asE that the apportionment thus laid Dc loyally met with generous response

DR. WEST GIVEN
 ENTHUSIASTIC SENDoFF.
Thirty of Second Church Members at Early Tran-on His Way to Pacific Coast.

Rev. pr. L. L. West left here Mon day morning for Boston on the six o'clock train and to his great surprise there was a party of thirty or more members of the Second Congregational church there to see him off. He was given an enthusiastic sendoff there and eighteen of the party accompanied him as far as Jewett City, where with rousing cheers they left him for the first stage of his long journey west. The party returned by trolley.
 Dr. West went to Boston, where he was met by Mrs. West and Miss Mar garet West, and started at noon Tor their western tourney. They expect to arrive in Everett on Friday and Dr. West will preach in his new church on Sunday. About thirty of the young people of the church sent letters to Miss West to be opened at different stages of the long journey, They will serve to break the uasnoteTy of the lAAA taia.

Y. M. c. A. DELEGATION
 RETURNS FROM NEW HAVEN.
Enthusiastic Result of the Convention
 and Strong Addresses.

Full of enthusiasm to nut into prac- tice some of the ideas they had receiv- ed at the boys department convention Friday, Saturday and Sunday at New Haven, the Norwich delegation return eed here Monday by the 12.05 train. although one or two who had to get back earlier reached here at 10. o'clock. Assistant Secretary George F. Hyde, who, with Physical Director Leasing Bandlow, accompanied the Norwich delegation, stated on Monday that the total attendance at the convention was 1S4. Of these 152 were boys, making the largest number registered at any state convention. One of the particu larly strong addresses was given on Sunday afternoon on "Chums' by H. w. Gibson, state boys secretary of Massachusetts. The chums for a boy, he said, were books, thoughts, mother and Christ. At teh close of his ad- dress there were sixty boys who signed cards signifying their purpose to live a Christian life.
 Richard Young, one of the Norwich delegates, was chairman of a com mittee representing the high school group, and Benjamin Bruce served on the resolution committee.
 There is chance that the Nor wich team may yet win the Gail B. Munson cup, which they strove for in a competitive drill, and which was awarded to the Meriden team by a margin of 8 point and a half over Norwich. Five of the associations having teams in the competition have entered a protest against Meriden, on the ground that they did not use the Roberts dumbbell drill, which was the drill prescribed by the conditions of the competition. Norwich was not the leader in the protest. but joined in when it found that the other associa- tions were filing protests against Mer- iden. If the protest holds, Norwich will win the cup.
 The local boys had q. fine timG were grandly entertained and were wildly cheered when on the floor in the competitive drill.
