Mr. Stelnert delivered, received with great applause, the following admirable address suitable to this interesting oc casion: To the Members of the New Haven Rvmnhnnv Orchestra: . Gentlemen This meeting denotes the eighth anniversary of the New Haven Symphony orchestra. When we organ ized eight years ago there was much hope but little prospects in store for us. From the beginning of the organiza tion until this day no Interruption has taken place to retard our aim to play a high style of symphonic music. When you look upon the general state of symphony orchestras in most all the different large cities in this country you will perceive that these undertakings are often tossed about like a storm beaten ship upon the ocean. These ef fects are caused either by want of prop er discipline and harmony In the orches tra its-elf or the necessary support upon the part of the public. 41 I am happy to congratulate you, that i'i after the end of eight continuous con cert seasons, without any disturbance whatsoever in the ranks of the orches tra and with sufficient financial results this meeting opens today to ft bright future. Our success, as far as the or chestra is concerned, lies mainly in the indomitable devotion it has shown to its work and to the energy of its con ductor. On the other hand, for its sup port I have to point to Yale university. The founding of the musical depart ment of Yale university dates from the very day when this orchestra was or ganized and the authorities of the mu sic department of Yale, Dr. Ray Palmer, Rev. Dr. Munger and the late Thomas C. Sloane, all members of the corporation of Yale, must be mentioned ag being the silent factors of our suc cess. These gentlemen perceived the importance of an orchestra to serve as an adjunct to this new department of musio and therefore extended to our or chestra such encouragement as we now enjoy. In this connection I have to speak of profpssor Morris- F. Tyler, treasurer of Yale university, who has taken upon his shoulders the arduous task of establish ing and managing these symphony con certs. The music department connected with Yale university is at present the only one on record, either here or in Europe,, whicl) has a large orchestra at its com mand. Professor H. W. Parker, who is now In Europe, and has been honored with the degree of doctor of music in Cam bridge, England, has held the position of conductor of our orchestra so far. His place during his absence has been very ably filled by Acting Professor Edgar Stillman Kelly. Our concert master, Isadore Troost wyk, now professor of the violin de partment of Yale, has acted as such since our organization, and we deeply Appreciate the services he has render ed us. Professor S. S. Sanford has given us both financial and artistic support. We hope that our concerts will be given next year in the hall of the Audi torium of Yale university. This hall will contain a magnificent organ which will be used for organ concertos in'con- nection with the orchestra, something which must be a rare treat to our pat rons, 'thus getting acquainted with the sublime works of the great organ com posers. There will also take place great oratorios for large choruses, organs and orchestra. In giving you, my friends', a few out lines of the Intentions of the orchestra in connection with the musical depart ment of Yale I can see but the bright est prospects for the future state of music here, a combination of musical forces that stands unique and has so far not been attained in any other place aside from our beloved city of New Haven. These mighty results are mainly dUO tn your wnrl the htp-b fimM rations of the authorities of Yale uni versity and finally to the liberal sup port of our citizens of New Haven. It remains now for me to call your at tention to the special efforts which should be made by each member in cul tivating his art to get a more intimate knowledge of his instrument so as to lie fully capable of meeting the unusual requirements of the great work before you, to be an honor to that organiza tion which we all prize so lngniy ana which has been influential in the culti vation of an art that is precious to us all. . Jlorris Steinert, President. ANNUAL SPRING TRACK GAMES Results in the Contests at Yale Field Saturday. The annual spring track games of the Yale Athletic as-oeiation were held Sat urdav afternoon on Yale field. The track, owing to the rain of the night previous, was not in a condition for fast time.

The Men's Meeting at the Association Rooms Yesterday. The meeting for men at the Young Men's Christian association rooms yes terday afternoon was largely attended and an interesting one. The pinging, led by Henry H. Wlkel, the new physi cal director, was very hearty and much enjoyed by all. Mr. Bissell sang two appropriate solos, the second being "I Shall be Like Him," which was the subject; of Rev. Arthur J. Smith's ad dress. "We cannot by searching find out God," said the speaker. "Who can con ceive of a being that is everywhere, of one who is eternal, without beginning or ending? Though we cannot under stand God in His fullness and behold Him with mortal vision, we may see Him by the eye of faith. The context tells us that 'we are now the sons of God.' We may begin to know Him here and to see Him as He is, but not until we shall be brought face to face with Him shall we be like Him and be sat isfied. Then we shall see the Christ of the Scriptures as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John saw Him. We shall see the Christ of our thoughts, the Christ rf our prayers. We shall never sfe Him as He was a babe in the manger, the young man battling with temptation; never see Him in Gethsemane, on the cross or in the tomb; but as He is. as Peter, James and John saw Him on the Mount of Transfiguration; we shall see Him as the Conqueror, the one who overcame. Sinners saved by grace and the power of Almighty Gpd shall see Him, and they shall be like Him In per son, like Him in purity, like Him in mortality."

A beautiful taptismal font of pure white marble CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB. Held Second in Its Secies of Races Las-t Saturday. The Corinthian Yacht club held the second of Its series of races last Satur day afternoon. Nine beats started and the races proved especially interesting as a result of the rough condition of the water, which made the handling of the boats exceptionally difficult. The re gatta last Saturday was over the Mor ris Cove course, the boats starting from the club house at the Cove and over the course down to the mouth of the har bor. A large party of club members and friends viewed the races. The boats carried mailsail and jib, and fast time was made over the course. Dory No. 13 finished first and No. 6 was a close sec ond. The other boats were close to the leaders at the finish. AT BATTELL CHAPEL. Services Yesterday Conducted by the Rev. Dr. Riggs. The services at Battell chapel yester day morning were conducted by the Rev. J. S. Riggs of Auburn Theological seminary, rxew xorm. As usual the at tendance was quite larere. The discourse was on the topic of "Love," the text, "Love those that persecute you," being the quotation. The speaker distinguish ed between matters of love and feeling, saying that we should love to do those things which are decisive and which carry with them that sentiment of choice rather than that of feeling. Christ tells us to follow the beckoning finger of duty, even If we have to tram ple on our feelings and minister to the needs of those that persecute and hate up. The speaker also addressed the uni versity meeting at 6:40 held in Dwight hall. was presented to the church by Deacon Rollln Carlos Smith and was accepted on behalf of the church and dedicated by the pastor, the Rev. Andrew Burns Chalmers. Deacon Smith has been an attendant of this church for fifty years, for nearly forty-s-lx years a member, and one of its deacons since 1884. In his address of acceptance after the un veiling of the font, Mr. Chalmers an nounced that It was given by Deacon Smith. In part, he said: "Deacon Smith, I feel that you have touched the heart of this church who love you more than you can ever know. In be half of this church I say to you that we accept this font with the deepening sense of how much you are to us. As you go out and in among us we phall associate your life and character In our church with the whiteness and purity of this marble and when you no longer tread these earthly courts we shall cherish a loving memory of you, and shall look upon this gift as an expres sion of the devotion of your heart and life to the church of Christ. This Is in some measure like the alabaster box of ointment given in the time of Christ's life upon the earth. It represents devo tion. It represents the small savings of ,a lifetime, and It means more to us because it was given in a lifetime. Mr. Chalmers said that the gifts In a will were really given by death be cause they became effective after life. In this case, this gift, given in life, was sacrifice. He spoke of the comfort which Deacon Smith has been to him as pastor. He was almost like an assist ant pastor. As Mr. Chalmers offered the prayer of dedication the deacons gathered around the font. It was a very solemn service and many in the congregation were affected to tears. The font bears this inscription near the top: "Present ed by Deacon Rollin Carlos Smith, May 1902." At the foot: "Was elected deacon of this church, 18R4." Near the op of the font and extending around It is a representation of an Ivy wreath, but nearly all the other surface Is smoothly polished. It is an artistic piece of chiseling. This service was followed by the re- eptlon of new members In an address by the pastor, the deacons giving the ight hand of fellowship. The commun ion was then administered and an en rollment! of all members present, by card, was tnken, to be used in the new church directory. Mr. Chalmers called for a subscription of $1,000 to be used in church Improvements. The Interior Is to be painted, also the wooden parts of the exterior of the church and other Improvements made. The collection will be taken May 18. Fifty-five new mem bers' were added, making 160 during the present pastorate. The church has now about 900 members.

Opening of State League Season New Haven W'ins Thirteen-Inn'ng Game. The State league baseball season opened in this city Saturday afternoon, the Blues playing the Meriden team. The game was of the sensational order, requiring thirteen innings for a decisive finish. Both teams played good ball, considering the fact that the contest was the first of real importance played by either side this Beason. The contest was viewed by a good-sized audience, and much Interest and enthusiasm was shown. The work of the pitchers was of high merit, Deij-lng showing up In fine form for New Haven, allowing but four hits and striking out nine men. Four errors were made by the Blues and only three by the Silver City team. Those of the latter were tho more cost ly, however. For New Haven, Fltz- nmurlee in center field played a star came and Short at the bat was the star of the game.

Special exercises, very appropriate to the occasion, will be held in Battell chapel at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when the degree of LL. D. will be conferred upon Lord Kelvin, the distinguished British scientist, bv Yale university. It is an unusual thing for Yale to confer a degree at any time other than at com mencement, but, inasmuch as the de gree was voted to Lord Kelvin lust fall Yale will make an exception to the rule and pay honor to the great scientist to day. The exercises will be similar to those at commencement. During the ceremony all regular exorcises will be omitted. The faculty will assemble in Dwight hall at 2:30. The corporation deans of the different departments and Invited guests will meet at the same hour in the old library. Faculty and students will, so far as possible, wear academic costume.

The proceedings came to an end with a Ibanquet given Friday evening, May 2, 1902, at the Tontine hotel in New Ha ven. Among the speakers was Profes sor Isaac Franklm Russell, LL. D., of New York University Law school, whose theme was "The ManYou Like." Mr. Russell spoke in substance as fol lows: "Aristotle says that man is a politi- cal animal, meaning, doubtless, that his tendency towards association is his most pronounced characteristic. Some wag of our own day, regarding man from the standpoint of his own profes sional speclulty,, that of physical sci ence, says that, chemically considered, man consists of about eighteen pounds of mineral salts and two pailfuls of wa-ter. "Psi Upsllon, seeing truth wherever it exists, has always recognized both of these principles as correct, and special ly so at Its convention banquets. It hai been claimed for a certain brand of Irish whiskey with what merit I can not say that Its use prevents the grip and promotes the brotherhood of man. The church has always held.this as sound doctrine. To the monks of Char tres and St. Benedict we are Indebted for many good works, and for none bet ter than the world-famed green and yellow cordials that have canonized these saints even among the infidels. and in Pennsylvania to-day our Chris tian friends are following the ploua precedents of former times by manu facturing a popular brand of whiskey and champagne known as the Brother hood, every drink of which that is tak en helps the church. 'College fraternities seem to me to have a special mission in a soulless age like our an age where every, one we meet commercially is a body corporate. Even the learned professions of law and medicine have , become mercantil- lzed, not merely by excessive specializa tion, but by means of the advancing tendency to pay doctors' bills by the year, and even to confide legal Interests to a corporation on an agreement to furnish forensic talent at fixed annual charges. Charity no longer makes its personal appeal. The evils of indis criminate alms-giving are generally recognized, and the man of the hour, instead of giving a cup of cold water to some thirsty one In the name of his Master, makes it a rule to refer all ap plicants for relief to the Charity Organ ization society.

Talk of Calling a AlcetLng for Discussion -Sliver Company Factory Knlaige. ment The Late OWd Warner Satur day's Ball Game Personal. There are some features about the new state road up toward Yalesvilla that probably not over one out of ten of the residents here know about. At the meeting called , last fall for the purpose It was voted to appropriate $5,250 to build a state road on North Colony street, extending from themorth end of the present road, as far as tha money would aHow. The specifications, etc., were duly prepared-, and Upson & Grannisa were the lowest bidders and w-ere awarded the contract. It-was sup posed that the appropriation would be used, as In former years, to build-tho stone road, as far as the money would allow, but it seems that State Com mlsploner Macdonald has arranged otherwise. As, the contract 'with Upson & Grannlss calls for the grading of the road up tothe culvert below'the Yales- ville depot, while the stone road will extend to a point between Charles E. Yale's and William E. Rice's house about a half mile southof the culvert. The cost of the gradingjjfrom that point to the culvert would, if expended lrt continuing the-etone road, be sufficient to extend the, road about 500 feet fur ther up the line to about opposite Eras tus Hubbard's place. The road from this point to the culvert, which natural ly Is very sandy and was .for years In poor condition, has within a few years been covered with a heavy coating of gravel and is now the best piece of road in town, outside of the stone roads, and the residents in that vicin ity, and many others who have to trav el that way, are strongly opposed to the idea of having the road above where the stone road will end disturb ed at all until two years1 from now, when It can be finished clear to the culvert, and they urge that all the ap propriation should be used to continue the state road as far as possible ana leave the north end on which so milch has already been expended In putting m fine condition as it is for the pres ent. There is quite a little dlssatlsfac-H tion expressed, and it is probable that At New York Rain At Boston Rain. YALE 2, U. OF P. 4.

Lord Kelvin (William Thompson) is one of the few great living mathemati cians and national philosophers. He was born In 1824. His father was pro fessor of mathematics In the Univer sity of Glasgow. Lord Kelvin gradu ated from Cambridge in 1845 as second wrangler and first Smith's prizeman, where he was shortly afterward elected to a fellowship In St, Peter's college; and became professor of natural phil osophy In the University of Glasgow In 1846. This appointment he still holds. While still an undergraduate he pub lished several valuable papers. He was for some time editor of the Cambridge Mahtemntiral Journal, and some of hia mnst brilliant discoveries have appear ed in its pages. He has also contrib uted to the Comptes Rendus, the trans actions and proceedings of the royal societies of London and Edinburgh and various other journals, He was also greatly and actively in terested in the construction of trans Atlantic cables, being associated with) Cyrus W. Field. Lord Kelvin has kept abreast of the times in all the sciences, and has few, if any, equals In his spe cial lines of work. His reputation is world-wide. and. while he is noted as a writer, he is still more prominent as a lecturer. The tribute to be paid to Lord Kel vin this afternoon is the greatest within the gift of a university. Between Yale and Hsrvnrl In This City Next Monday Evening. ! Arrangements have been about com- ! pleted for tha twelfth annual debate he- I tween Yale and Harvard. The debate will be held this year in- this city. The committee in charge of the arrange ments has decided upon College street hall as the place for the event, and next Monday evening at 8 o'clock Is the time determined upon.
