AGAINST WEAK IS REPULSIYE, PRESIDENT
 TELLS N. Y. PRESS CLUB

cheering was tumultuous and pro- longed, and host of the diners flock ed about the guest table to congratu late the President and shake his hand.
 It had been wonderful dinner from start to finish. Next in actual importance to the Presidents speech was the declaration of Bainbridge Col by. quite recently an ardent Progress i've that the President has 6 host of friends in the Bull Moose party and that while as an officer he must stay by the ship until it sinks the majority of the members of the party will vote as their individual consciences dic- tate. sMr. Colby's speech was taken as an indication that sooner or later he will openly declare himself Will son supporter.
 Not only was the great banquet hall of the Waldorf filled with diners but the boxes were filled also and the oc- cupants brought from MT. Colby a reference to "the grace and beauty that beams down upon us." Mrs. Will son sat in the box directly opposite the Presidents chair on the dias The ovation that greeted her upon her en- trance was hardly second to the well come that had been accorded the President.

LOAN ASSOCIATION BREAKS RECORD IN
 ITS 55TH SERIES

The Bridgeport Savings & Loan as- sociation, in its 55th semi-annual re- port, reports the most prosperous term since it was established. The follow ing statement, issued by William H. Skinner, secretary of the association, is a review of the last series.
 'The 55th series just closed has been the most prosperous six months dur ing our existence. Our sale of shares was 1,1SS, which is 34 greater than ever before, although some of these have since been withdrawn. There were 195 subscribers in this series, while 62 members took additional shares. We received in cash sS6, ,119.09 and among the disbursements were $53, ,725.62 paid on loans and s6,040.2S cash paid on matured shares.
 Our assets have no v reached $524,- 691.2S, an. increase of $36,024O5 over our last report. The dividend declared by our board of management is based on 5 1-2 per cent. per annum and amounts to $13, 239.S0. Besides declaring this excellent dividend, we have also in- creased our contingent fund $6S.O1 and our surplus s295.25, making a total in crease of $363.26. The balance in these funds combined is now $1,5244S. Nine ty-seven shares II series 32 reached maturity in 12 years to the amount of $201.3S each or a total of $19, ,533 .86.

s. P. FOSTER WILL CONDUCT Y. M. C. As
 MATHENATIC CLASS

Thursday night marked the opening of another summer term course of study in the educational department at the Y. M. c. A. Classes in higher mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic and descriptive geometry will be conduct ed for the next 10 weeks under the direction of s. F. Foster of s. P. Eos ter of the Sheffield Scientific school, now with the Bullard Machine Tool Go.
 Perhaps one reason why summer term classes are proving so popular at the Y. M. c. A. is the fact that all students in the educational de- partment have access, both summer and winter, to the shower baths and swimming pool connected with the gymnasium. According to S. S. Keeney, the educational secretary, nearly 150 students are in regular at- tendance in the various classes con- ducted at the associa ton at the pres ent time.
