Best Riders In Action

this fact feel that my work
has been worth while.
1t has been worth while; but
It Is not complete. Yet / must
not blind myself to facts. For
nearly 40 years 1 have been
teaching without a break. The
break must come some time;
and each year brings it nearer.
For this reason Mrs. King and
/ want this year to make
an especial effort to see you all
again-and also your wives
and children. We have selected
May 4 as the date for this
alumni meeting. 1t is on this
day that we are to have the
School Horse Show and the
School Dance. The day follow
ing will be interesting through
the running Of the Warrenton
Hunt and the Virginia Gold Cup
races. I enclose . tentative
schedule Of what we hope to
have. And we appeal to you,
Old Boys of Stuyvesant, to give
yourselves once more to uS for
these few days.
Looking forward, therefore, to
this occasion as one Of great
enjoyment and happiness, 1
urge every one Of you to set
apart this weekend for us, and
for your school, and to make
every effort to come to us at
Stuyvesant. Let me hear from
you in advance that you will
come 50 that we can make ar.
rangementS for you.
Mrs. King sends her love to
each and all of you.
This is a list Of the married
alumni who have written that
they and their wives are to be

|ETTLINCER SHOT ACCIDENTALLY
New Haven Police Much Inclined to Believe His
 Story of It

New Haven. Conn. Juno 12-(U. p.)-Pollce to-day were inclined to believe the story of Daniel Ettlin- ger. 2s. member of . socially prom inent family, that he was shot acc cidentally as he left . beer tavern Sunday night in company with Mrs Helen Barnes, . divorcee. Author itlcs also believed 1t . coincidence that Ettllnger's father, Bernard, former board of education mem- Der, was clubbed by an unidenti- fied nssailant near his garage, less than an hour before the shooting occurred.
 Ettllnger, In . serious condition at . hospital, told police he saw several boys arguing over posses sion of . revolver as he and Mrs Barnes left the tavern. On m on. suing struggle, he said, the gun was discharged and the bullet struck him In the abdomen. Mrs Barnes, according to police, said she heard no shot and the first she knew Ett- finger was wounded was when he collapsed on tho sidewalk.
 Search of the yard In the rear of the tavern disclosed box of 22- calibro cartridges for q rife and another box of the same cailber for pistol use. One cartridge of tho latter type was missing from box of so. Authorities were unable to round up the boys described by Ettlinger as between 14 and 16 years old, nor could they locate anyone who witnessed the shootins or heard the shot.
 Tho attack on tho elder Ettlinger remained unexplained,
