Norwelk Board, of Councilmen, last
night. Councilmen Ferris and Waters
did not attend the session. lfayor Co-
burn presided, end Councilmen Smith,
Bontweil, Morgan and Bean attended.
‘ The Board of Street Commissioners
, petitioned for the sum of $1,600. an
additional appropriation, for the use
of the commissioners on the streets
and sidewalks for the balance of the
year. ,
As the Board had expended its bud-
get appropriation, and also the 81,000
additional which the Council can ap-
propriate, it was necessary to have the
matter brought before a c..y meeting.
It‘was voted that the mayor call a spe-
cial meeting for Tuesday night. the
24th inst, In Arion Hall.
’ Street Commissioner Reed asked the
Council to take some action on the
matter of ordering sidewalks laid In
South Ilein street, below Woodward
avenue.
The matter of a trunk sewer in the
southern section of the city was
brought up by Councilman Smith. A
report was made by Corporation
Counsel Light that he had correspond-
ed with General Manager Chamber-
lain regarding permission to lay the
main sewer alongside the Consolidat-
. ed Railroad Company's tracks, but had
not received a definite reply. Mr.
; Chamberlain thought the sewer could
2 be laid as well in the highway, and
{I
this the city ofilcials sought to avoid
on account of the big expense which
would be entailed in blasting through
the ledges of rocks.
An agreement was entered into be-
tween the City of South Norwelk.
County of Fairlield, State of Connecti-
cut, by‘George F. Beam, Secretary of
the Board of Street Commisioners, of
the City of South Norwalk, in which
Seymour street in said city was des-
ignated as the place In which the dirt
shall be deposited which is to be re-
moved from West avenue, North Main
street, etc., after the refilling of the
trench opened by the Connecticut
Lighting and Power Company. and the
said George F. Bearse is hereby duly
' authorised and empowered by the City
of South Nor-walk. to Issue the above
order, and it Is distinctly understood
that the placing of any and all dirt,
stone, etc., on said Seymour street, by
the Connecticut Lighting and Power
Company, is done at the express direc—
tion of the City oi South Norwalk;
therefore. said City of South Norwelk,
by its mayor, duly authorised. hereby
agrees to indemnify and save harm-
Iel the-raid Connecticut Lighting and
Power Company. from any and all

brought against it, and from any dam-
age either to person or property, in
any way due to, or arising from the

rected by said city oi South Norwelk.
or its agents.
. The foregoing articles of agreement
were retitled by the Council. and the
Street Commissioners will pee that
the dirt is properly taken care of.
It was voted that the city clerk
make out a rate book of the benefits
derived flom the widening of North
Water street, and turn it over to the
city collector for further action.
Residents of Spring street asked for
a crosswalk at the head of State strcet.
- on the south side and the Street Com-
missioners were Instructed to have a
walk placed there.
Dr. Bean brought. up the matter of
extending the time of laying the side-
» walks in Taylor avenue and South
Main street until November 7th. The
Board informally decided toso extend
the time.
Dr. Bean reported that the work of
paving North Water street had been
necessarily delayed on account of the
Inn of which the contractor was to
purchase the stone having failed a day
' or two alter the contract was awarded.
He had been unable to get stone any-
where else. but hoped to soon. and have
the work completed before cold weath-
er set in. Steps are being taken tow-
ard widening the street, he said, and
Senator I-‘errislntendcd to see the prop-
erty-owners, the bowls Raymond es-
late, to have taeir portion euyusted.
It was decided to defer the needed
repairs to Hillside Place until next
year, when Dr. George S. Kendall takes
the olcc of Street Commissioner. In
this connection it was stated that T.
I. Raymond was willing to have the
city secure three good cltisens from
adjoining towns. and he would be wil-

Crltlml Asdisset at llillslds. , 7
The first delightful evening uter-
telnrsent of the whorl year was given
at Hillside. last evening. in a piano re-
citelby Edward Baxter Perry.
lfr. Perry is well known to many
music-lovers in The Norwalks. This
is his first a in Norwslk.
however, since his recent and highly
mceeuful tour in llurope. in 't‘l and
'00. when he played with great selst Ia
leading an centres of Italy, France,
Germany and England.
The program lest evening was al-
most entirely new. and, as usual, was
most delightfully rendered. In open-
ing with the allegro movement from
Beethoven's Aurore Sonata, whose
brilliant dashes of melody, contrasting
with stately harmonies. gave no im-
pression of the stupendous technical
difficulties in the rmderlng. but only
served to put the audience into perfect
sympathy with the pianist and com-
pelled a new recognition of the power
of musical, interpretation.
sir. Perry followed his usual custom
of giving; In brief. instructive sketches.
information regarding the history. poe-
try or musical form of each number
on the program, and is it not too much
to‘say that his word-pictures no less
than his vivid reproductions on the pi-
ano were a delight to his audience. .
This was especially true oi the
Beethoven-Saint-Seens composition.
The chorus of Dancing Dervishes,
when the wild fanatics, in a crescendo
of frenzy, danced to exhaustion, drop-
ping one by one into silence; in the
poetic Schumann numbers. Nechstuck,
sung by the piano in deep, tender tones
and in The Traumswirren, where the
Dream Fancies succeeded one another
in a melody of sweet confusion. .
During Mr. Perry's recent tour in
Europe he was on the alert to discov-
er interesting ahd beautiful musical
treasures, and among those he brought
to his audience last evening were two
by Russian musicians which were char-
acteristically Russian in beauty and In
form.
The first was The Lark. GIinka-Bal.
akirew. presenting amid great diflicul-
ties, a noble melody, with an undertone
of sadness, yet-radiant at times with
the joy of the morning and the touch
of love. The other Russian number,
Dance of the Elves, Op. 3. Sapellnlkoff,
came later on the program. and repre-
sented the song of the Frost Sprites.
on a winter’s night. The various ef-
fects were brought out In the marked
features of Russian music and proved
most interesting.
Othcr pleasing numbers were Peder-
ewski's well known Cracovlenne fan-
tasthue and a group of Forest Fancies
that gave a new revelation of Mr. Per-
ry’s wonderful power in creating or-
chestral effects, or rather in portraying
the music of nature,-whether in sing-
ing brooks or rushing torrents. or the
mailing leaves as accompaniments to
the melodies of voice or flute.
The Grieg Troll Dance. a weird com-
position from the Peer Gynt suite.
Mr. Perry’s own transcription. mph-
ically illustrated the terrors of the
fantastic persecutions by the gnomes
of the mountains.
Two numbers from the genius of
Ferdinand Dewy, whom Mr. Perry
mentioned as one of the most poetic
and brilliant of American composers,
closed the program. .
One a nocturne, dreamy, musical, its
theme, The Night Has a Thousand
Eyes: the other a Tone Poem. Samson
and Delilah, remarkable for its breadth
of musical conception and powerful
rendering.
Mr. Perry was in excellent form and
spirits. He wore the decoration of the
Order of Ifelusine, that was recently
conferred upon him in Paris by the
Knights of Jerusalem, an order that
dates back to the crusades and Is only
awarded to eminent literary and musi-
cal artists.
He was most cordially greeted by u
very select and appreciative audience
and the occasion was one of rare Intel-
lectual and musical pleasure.

Vcrsary of its organization, in the Post

The residence of George W. Voor-
bees. superintendent of Riverside Cem-
etery. at 81 Riverside avenue, was bur-
glarised Sunday evening while the
family was at church. Watches, Jewel-
ery and silverware were stolen in val-
ue amounting to 815.
The burglars secured entrance to the
house through a window which they
opened by removing a pane of glass
and then turned the catch. The back
door was then opened, probably to
facilitate an easy escape should they bl
surprised. At all events, the burglars
left by the rear door.
The entire house was ransacked
Bureaus, drawers and chiffoniers were
turned topsy turvy and some of their
contents dumped upon the door.
In this section of the house two sil-
ver watches, two gold brooches, twc
revolvers. one pair of ear rings, one
ring, and other small articles of iew-
eiry were secured. Some clothing is
also missed.
Down stairs all the solid silver table
were was taken, the plated articles be-
Ing carefully laid one side.
The pantry was also visited and the
intruders enjoyed a hearty lunch.
The burglary was discovered when
Mr. Yoorhees returned from church
and a careful search was made for
some clue to the Identity of the house-
breakers.
The family left the house about 7
o'clock and returned shortly after ii

Wisconsin game probably. It is for
be game of next Saturday that Yale is
wow practicing In the light 0. what was
learned in last Saturday's game with
Dartmouth. The defensive tactics must
be developed to a marked degree. and
the interference for runners must be
brought up to a higher proficiency than
at present.
The puntlng that is expected to be
a feature of the Wisconsin game is
what Yale will endeavor to meet by a
similar style of play. With the ox-
ception of the halfbacks whose injur-
ies laid them up last week there is not
an injured man In the squad. Traincr

New York, October 17-Shamrock
and Columbia started promptly this
morning in the second race of the ln-
ternational series for the America's
cup. The course was triangular, east
by south, then southwest one half
south. then northwest.
Shamrock'a topmost with her big
clubtopsail was carried away at 11:24.
when the yachts were on the port tack.
about three miles from the start.
Columbia was then leading by sev-
eral lengths.
Columbia took down her iibtopsail.
but continued on her course.
The second nice, therefore, belong-
ed to the Columbia, for there was plen-
ty of wind, and Shamrock made no ei-
fort to continue the contest.
The Columbia went around the tri-
angle ln g time. turning the first
mark at 12: 6:20; the second at 1:33:45
and crossing the finish iin at 2:35:50.
She ad gone over the s rting line
at 11: :40.
These figures are unofficial.
EARLY MORNING CONDITIONS.
New York, October 17—Oif Sandy
Hook, at about 7 o'clock, preparations
were being made on board the Colum-
biu for another race today. There was
a haze over the sea, but it did not mu-
tcrinlly obscure"obscrvntion, and by 8
o'clock the freshening breeze had
reached a velocity of‘eight miles an
hour from the southeast.
The crowds that left the city in the
early hours were small. and the excur-
sion boats few In comparison with the
flotilla that went down to the sea on
the day of the first attempt to pull off
the race that went to Columbia yester-
day. But there was considerablecnthus-
iasm and much talk of "three straight."
There was also sympathy expressed for
Sir Thomas Lipton, who has made
himself popular in these parts, and re-
gret that his first defeat should have
been suchra "hard rap" as the Col-
umbia’s ten minute lead over the fin-
ish line yesterday involved.
About the two racers were a flock of
Navesink fishermen who were skim-
ming about In the increasing breese
like a lot of ducks and must certainly
have been a pleasing sight to those on
board the two big racers. all desirous
for a good breeze.
Under the conditions of the race ser-
Ics, today's contest was set down as a
triangular course. with the usual dis-
tance miles around, ten miles to each
leg of the triangle.
With the wind from the southeast at
8 o'clock It looked as if the yachts
would have a beat straight seaward to
the southeast on the first leg; then a
broad reach toward the Jersey shore.
with booms to starboard and balloons
set. with the second mark anchored
about five miles east of Long Branch.
and finally another broad roach home
to the finish, also with ballooners set.
and booms well to port.
As both yachts were known to be
good all the.wlnd. it looked this morn-
ing, with the increasing breeze, that
the race might be sailed in fast time.
The Shamrock was the first. to leave
her moorings this morning. fully forty
minutes ahead of her usual time of dev
parturc.
At 8:20. discarding the use of a ing.
the peak of her mainsall was put up
and she swung away from her moor-
Ines toward the Columbia. anchored
half a mile to the westward. Going as-
tcrn of the white yacht. the green ra-
cer began completing the work of set-
ting her mainsall, and by 8:30 it was
half way up and she was running rap-
Idly out toward the ship channel.
By 8:30 the vanguard of the newspa-
per fieet had put in an appearance. and
by 0 o'clock there were half a dosen of
these tugs near Sandy Hook.
After running by the Columbia's
quarter the Shamrock gybcd armnd,
and. heading up Into the wind. finish-
ed settlng her malnaell.
The sky was comparatively clear.
and for the first time for over a week
Sandy Hook lightsbip could be seen
from the Highland lighthouse.
It took the Shamrock over half an
hour to get her sells set. and before
she not fully started for the Iightsbip

The Coliimble held on to her tow
until she was within three miles of the
Ilghtship, and then she set her club-
topsail and broke out her lib.
The Shamrock ran down on the port
tack until she was to the eastward_of
Scotland lightship, then went about on
the starboard tack. .
In the meantime the wind veered
gradually until at 10 o'clock it was al-
most due east. or a little south of that
point.
The breese seemed to increase and
the sun became hidden under lower-
ing clouds. The air, however. re-
mained fairly clear, so that the boats
at the starting point could be easily
seen.
The Shamrock eid to the northwest
until 10:07, when he tacked and stoou
toward the lightsbip.
The excursion fieet by that time had
begun to put in an appearance, togeth-
er with the guard boats, revenue cut-
ters and the torpedo fieet, and by10:10
there was quite a fiotills of every des-
cription heading out for the starting

AT THE STARTING LINE.
The Associated Press Despatcb Boat
Dalzell. via Western Union Cable Boat,
October lf—Profiting by yesterday’s
variable conditions and the fact that.
contrary to expectations, there was a
race, the point of starting of the inter-
national yacht raccs was much more
lively this morning and the con‘
ditions were somewhat different also.
The log cleared away early. so that
there was a good line of observation.
and the sun, quite a stranger to the
course for several days. condescenued
to show his face at Intervals during the
earlier hours, with promise that before
the day grew older he would be out
with the health that belongs to Indian
summer. Sir Thomas Lipton's guests
did not propose to get left again. They
made an early start down on the Black-
bird. and after being transferred to the
Erin came down to the starting line,
following closely the yachts and com-

It did not take the competing yachts
long to appreciate the decidedly favor-
able condltions, and by 9 o'clock they
were both outside of the Hook under
tow. proceeding to the starting point.
At 9:30 the sun was breaking away
the clouds rapidly, and the wind very- "
ing in strength was increasing.
At 9:21 the Shamrock, tuen about
four miles from the start, dropped her
tow boat and went along at a very nice
clip under her mainsail, Jib and fore-
staysall. At 9:26 Columbia, which was
slightly ahead. put up her mainsail ano
broke out her Jib. Both yachts dug
their noses into the heavy swells and
shed the water like ducks.
At 9:41 the Shamrock set her top-
soil and went on the port tack. chang-
ing direction toward the Ilghtsbip and
starting line. The Columbia dropped
her towboat just as she got near the
line and raising her club-topsoil cut
through the seas In pretty shape. She
arrived off the starting point at 9:55.
Ten minutes later the Shamrock got
down to the line, sailing under main-
snil and clubtopsail. The sun had
come out from under the clouds. the
breeze was blowing fully ten miles
from the cast and the conditions were
excellent. The judge's boat had taken
its place and the judges were discus-
sing the course to be sailed.
At 10:07 the revenue cutters and
torpedo boats were sighted coming
down for police duty and just behind
them came along a number of private
yachts and excursion hosts. the latter
outnumbering yesterday's fleet in en-
ticipstion of d good day’s sport.
Promme at 10:45 the mto‘ry
signal ‘ was fired. Both ynohtnhad
their clubtopseils in posititm, hat a
couple of final hauls were given on the
throat and peak halyards. r
The Columbia took a short hitch
down past the committee tug. leaving
it to starboard and coming about, stood
r~ff to the eastward away from the line.
The Shamrock was away to leeward of
the line at the preparatory signal, but
trimming the main sheet a bit, she
fucked and beat out to the windward of
the line, which was set at right. isn-

leg. 0n seeing this move. Captain
Burr eased off a bit and ran down with
the intention of covering his rival;
but Hogarth saw the move, and, put—

down across the line. The Columbia

Barr saw that he was caught in a
trap and tried to pinch out across the
Shamrock's bow. For, a moment it
looked as though the American bout
were going to get the better of the
scramble, but the Shamrock had too
much of a move on. and so the skipper
of the cup dcfcnder cased off. gybcd
over and swung srmmd on her keel.
The warning gun had been fired while
this manoeuvring was going on. and
with only a minute to spare before the
starting gun. the Columbia broke out
her Jib topsoil and reached for the
line. Shamrock came up on the star-
board tack a short distance southeast
of the lightship, and wore oil with
sheets eased wide to port and raced
down after the cup defender. When
the starting gun was fired at 11 o'clock
Hogarth and his two expert colleagues
had the better position. The yachts
crossed the line almost side by side.
