 This amount shows an increase of sS67OO over the total given out yes terday by Chairman A. J. Sloper. The city is still, however, $448,3O0 away from the goal and in order to pass the $2385,OO0 mark it will be neces- sary to raise $89,660 day for the remaining five days of the drive. This figure is about $500 more than was raised in yesterdays campaign, and the committees in charge of the drive expect to reach that total on each of the remaining days.
 The campaign in the local factO- ries continues to progress and many subscriptions are received daily through this source. In the banks voluntary subscriptions are piling up and the work of the Boy Scouts and school boys and girls is showing re- suits.

BOXING COMMISSION MEETS
 WITH FAVOR AMONG SOLONS
Governor Holcomb's Views Are Not Known, But He Did Not Like it Several Week Ago.

Hartford, May 6.-Expecting to complete it's business late in the day. the general assembl met today, prob ably for it's last business session. Should the governor not adjourn the body sine die today, recess will be taken until Thursday or a later date, and the members will be at the capi- tol tomorrow for the centennial ob- servance and to greet former mem bers whose number probably will ex- ceed 2,00O. The governor will receive a very large number of bills for his cOnSidera tiOn-nOt as many as two years ago, however-and it is a pos sibility that a legislative recess will be necessary to afford him time in which to veto any bills which he does not care ito approve. A recess until Friday of this week or until day next week would give him a margin of time and obviate the necessity of a so-called "pocket" veto.

 Both branches, through a commit tee, recalled from the expressing clerk the bill reorganizing the state board of education. This provided that the governor should name nine members subject to confirmation by the legis- lature, but an amendment will be of fered to allow him to make direct appointments, as there is not time enough left in which he may select members subject to confirm ation. It
 was thought likely that the amend ment would be acceptable
