Barnes of A. presented the follow- report at the directors’ last evening: The summer membership was the largest that we have ever had. Thesc memberships expired October first, and already nearly fifty per cent. have i renewed as against twenty per cent. for last ye This is one indication of the appeal that the association is making to the young men of the city. The impetus given the mem- bership by these renewels has { brought the count up to 1 compared to 1,056 for the period last year. Although many of the the ociation are continuous year around, October first is thought of as the opening of season. The gymnasium classes running three sessions for each sion, with a large attendance the classes, that of the business being especially large, with all of the sp 1 lockers occupied.” The bui ing is open Sunday afternoons and evenings, and althoush the mecti have not begun yet the orchestr givea a good program each wee Plans are being made for the open- ing of the Bible Study classes the lat- ter part of this month and the Sun- day meetings will begin as soon as cold weather arrives, Physical Department. Warren Slater begins his season after a record-breaking in the physical depnrt.nlcnt and with the help of his as ant, Carlson, and the physical department committee, has planned an extensive program for this season. During the past month he reports an attendance of 740 men and boys in the gymnasium classes in spite of weather that was not con- dusive to indoor exercise. The other privileges of the department, such as bowling, wrestling, hand ball and baths attracted an attendance of 4,071, The bowling alleys have been put in splendid condition, with im- proved lights, and are proving very popular this year. A bowling league is planned to begin a little Ilater. During the Berlin fair boys from the Columbia Park Boys’ club, who were giving exhibitions at Berlin, were ex- tended the use of the gymnasium and baths. Special games were ar- ranged for their benefit, and on one occasion they returned the c*mpli. ment by giving a band concert and drill in the gymnasium. When the Pratt & Whitney team of Hartford and the Fafnir Ball Bearing team of this city met to decide the industrial baseball championship of the two cities, they were afforded the use of our baths. Likewise, the Hartfora and New Britain police used our locker rooms for dressing, and baths after their annual baseball game. General Secreta he Y, M. C, ng excellent meeting held same activities of the often our are divi- in ail men second L Educational Department. O. Washburn has begun his fourth season with the New Britain association as educational director, and reports a splendid program of night school classes for this season. The school opened last Monday eve- ning with the usual classes being taught in mathematics, drawing and English, with additional classes in Spanish and bookkeeping. Young men who recognize the advantage of small classes where a very personal contact is made with the instructor, come to us, and in most cases mak very rapid progress. Their purpose and keenness for the work in the night school is well illustrated in the accountancy class. Last year eight men completed this course and all a enrolled in the advanced accountaney course this year. A course in memory training will be opened by a public demonstration Wednesday evening, October 11, at 8 o'clock. Henry J. ‘Sutton and Vietor Werner, representatives of the Berol system of memory training, will give this free demonstration to show tho value of this kind of training. Al- ready there has been a large demand for admission tickets to this exhibi- tion. Mr. Werner will be the in- structor of this course. The salesmanship class will be cpened Thursday evening, November 9 with a public lecture on “Salesman- ship.” Charles H. Whitsey of Schen- ectady, N. Y. has been secured to teach this subject in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain and Water- bury. Mr. Whitsey has had experience ¢ a teacher, a salesman, and a trainer of salesmen, The popularity of the salesmanship class is shown by the fact that before any advertising was done, ten men were enrolled for the course. The Y. M. C. A. orchestra menced their rehearsals four earlier than usual this year. W. P. Occupin will lead again, and as cv: member of the club enthusiastic another good season is assured. Plans are under way to start the Willlam H. Hart Debating club dur- ing the last week in October. Recently, the sales department of a Tig rubber company in Milwaukee were working for a large contract in Toledo, Ohio, but somehow they did not secure the order. The head chemist of the company, a #rmer { member of our salesmanship class was sent down to see what he could do. A few days later his company received the contract. He says: “The Y. M. C. A. salesmanship course helped me to secure this order.” Boys’ Department, . W. Yergin is completing his third year in the boys' department, and is maintaining a hgh record in raembership. He Teports that on account of the schools opening later than usual, the organized activities of the hoys’ department have necessarily teen e in getting into full swing, | Committee mectings have been held com- weeks frequently ta discuss the program the various c , and it is believed, that as a result, the work for the year will be more constructive, and be a means of making a mode definite impression for good upon the lives of the members. The Good Government club opened its season with a supper, when twent, of the older emplayed boys attended with the purpose of taking up the werk of the club this season. Besides the training which they will receive in public speaking and debating, it is rlanned to make an intensive study of the local, state, and national govern- ments, thus preparing the members for intelligent citizenship. At the Boy Scout meet held city last month our troop won seco ylace among all the troops of the city Hikes and cutings are held on Satur- days to give the boys a real experi- ence in scouting. during the week of the state fair, the privileges of the den cxtended to the Columbia Park band Loys of San Francisco. and on the st day the boys were the guests of r scout troop at a luncheon. The annual election of the Boys' Cabinet has been held. The Cabinet consists of four members representing the student bodv and four, the em- ploved boy division. They discuss and act upon special cases of discipline well helping very materially in the conduct of the acti of the de- partment.

Even the Hunting Doz Approves Outdoor Setting at Monicr’s. of Sportsmen and nature lovers very much attracted by the window of the sporting goods store of Monier Bros., on the lower end of Main street. A camping scene, true in many details, has been arranged by one of the brothers and presents a pleasing appearance. A motorcycle, tent, guns and ac- cessories of all descriptions are offset by a background of autumn leaves of many colors. Stuffed animals of var- ious kinds are to be seen. One of the amusing things in connection with the window is the fact that “Ching,” an Irish setter belonging to the firm | has adopted the outdoor scene as h own and expresses his unqualified ap- proval of the display by remaining in the window constantly, dreaming no doubt, of times in the past, when he was the center of just such a spot in the real woods. are south That Does Not Affect Head Because of its tonic and laxative ef- fect Laxative Bromo Quinine can be taken by anyone without causing ner- vousness nor ringing in the head.

ROYAL WELCOME FOR RETURNING TROOPS Great Parade Now Plamned for Saturday Afternoon EVERY BARD IN CITY HIRED Swong Effort to Have Local Soldi(‘r&! Come Direct to New Britain Re- gardless of Hartford Plans—Band | and Committee to Meet Them. While it is the plan to welcome New Britain’s soldier boys home on arrival at the local station regardless of the hour, it was decided at a meet- ing of the general committee last night that Saturday afternoon will be more fitting for the grand celebration of the event. The factories will be closed as well as the schools and cverybody will be at leisure to witness the parade and make the boys realize that they are once more among the home falks. Every band and dsum corps in town has been secured for the cvent and patriotic and fraternal or- ganizations have promised to turn out and help make the parade a notable | one. However, this is apart from the reception the boys in khaiki will re- ceive on arrival from Nogales. Want Our Boys Here. According to schedule Company B :rd Company D of Bristol should reach the city some time tomorrow or early Thursday morning and Com- pany T is expected here Friday. Tt | was a question with the committee | i night whether the troops would te taken first to the regimental ar- mory in Hartford, where, according to the plans of the Capitol City folks, | they are to be welcomed, addressed | made much of. The l(»(’ll committee did not "\kr\ kindly to the idea of letting Hartford enjoy the exclusive pleasure of welcoming | {he regiment and leaving New Britain | to play second f¥idle in the matter | Tt was understood here when the | orders to return from Nogales were first issued that'the two New Eri'z{in‘ companies with Company D of Bris- | tol would come direct to New Britain | to muster out, but from wht (‘nl-’)n(‘l; W W. Bullen learned at a meeting in | the mayor's office in Hartford yester- | dzy afternoon, the Capitol Cityites fieure on taking the whole regiment into camp and later on want all the Yoys back for a big parade and cele- Dbration. When the local committee receved this information last night it was at | once decided to appoint a special| committee of three to learn just exactly what is going to happen and if the troop trains pass through Berlin or this city on the way to Hartford to have the local and Bris- tol boys come straight here. After New Britain has had a chance to wel- come and fete the soldiers, if Hartford wants a regimental parade no objec- tions will be offered. Major F. H. Johnston, Colonel W. W. Bullen and A. B. Magnell were named as the com- mittee to handle this matter and to arrange with one or more of the big local factories to blow their sirens at least two hours before the troops are expected, whether it be day or night. Senator George W. Klett, John Tomaszewski and William Cowlishaw were appointed a committee on auto- mobiles. They will endeavor to pro- vide cars for Saturday’s parade, the rlan being to convey the G. A. R. veterans and other distinguished citi- 7ens in automobiles. B. C. Morey, Captain A, Magson and Colonel A. T. Thompson were named as the com- mittee on parade Colonel Bullen surance had been given that A. R, O. U A. M., Moose number of other patriotic and frater- nal orders had given the committee assurance that they would gladly par- ticipate in Saturday’s parade.” Rev. : Thienes, in charge of the local couts, reported that he was awaiting orders and that the Boy Scouts were only too glad to take part | in the celebration. announced that as the G. and a Committee Assemble at Armory After considerble discussion it was finally decided ta have the reception [committee assemble at the state | | ermory | Thursday when it is learned that the toys are coming. Company I Veter- ans corps will also assemble at (h. and Corporal Henry Briere announced that the boys wha were sent home from Nogales for lure to pass physical tests would a assemble at the armory in uniform and march to the depot to greet their old comrades. All this is epart from Saturday afternoon’s parade and celebration and relates to the preliminary reception to ccarded the boys on their arrival at the railroad station. The recep- tion committee, returned soldiers, Company I Veterans corps and such other organizations as care to turn out ta greet the troops whether it be day or night when they reach the city will therefore assemble at the armory when the prearranged signal is given by bell or whistle announcing that the troops are coming and are expected to arrive within two hours, and headed hy the American band will march to the depot and give the boys a rousing armory { welcome. Following the serenade at the depot the line will reform with the recep- tion committee and other organiza- tions acting as escort for the troops, At the armory John Walsh will be in arge of the catering arrangements cnd New Britain’s veteran restaur- ter has given his word that the boys 1 be provided a dinner fitting to occasion Others to Participate, The Spanish War Veterans are planning to turn out in a body to join in welcoming the returning sol- diers and all veterans of '98, whether members of A. G. Hammond camp or not, are urged to take part. This evening G. Hammond camp will meet in G. A. R. hall to make plans for their part in the welcome. The Veterans' Corps of Company 1, First Infantry, will hold a special meeting this evening at the Arc street armory 1l former membe of the state militia are asked to at- tend. Plans for taking part in the reception will be taken up. May Change Plans. As a result of information received late this afternoon it is possible that several vital changes may be made in the plans for the parade and recep- | ticn to the New Britain soldiers, now on their way home from Nogales, Arizona. Major F. H. Johnston was numed chairman of a special com- mittee at a meeting of the general committee 1 evening for the pur- pose of learning when the troops were due and where they weuld de- {rain, reported that he had been in communication with Major Shuttle- worth of the U. S. A., the latter hav- ing charge of the troops coming from Nogale: Major Shuttleworth stated that the boys will be required to report at the regimental armory in Hartford before At their home stations. for the purpose of checking up government property and making official returns. Major Shuttleworth fizured that this formality would re- quire from four to six hours, after which the troops would be allawed to return home. It was learned the this afternoon that the troops were passing through Ohio this afternoon, being reported at Columbus, Ohio. It is therefore mated that unless some unforseen i cident occurs they should arrive in Hartford late tomorrow or early morning. This will mean that the New Britain bovs will be 1ck home Thursday forenoon and if such proves to bhe the case the recep- tion committee favors holding the big celebration Thursday afternoon i stead of postponing the big event ta Saturday as was agreed last night. Major Johnston will receive informa- tion from Major Shuttleworth as soon as the boys reach Campbell Hall, which is about seven hours ride from Hartford.
