NEW TORK, Oct. 14. Judge Ingra-ham, in Oyer and Terminer to-day, declared that no crime was contemplated by the Morris Park races, which open to-morrow. The matter was brought up by a test case, which was agreed to on Saturday, on a conference between the Police Commissioners, the District Attorney and the State Racing and the West Chester Racing Association.

Football Gossip The football team of the University of Chicago' has abandoned its contemplated trip among the eastern colleges. The Chicago Athletic team will come east, playing a game with Pennsylvania on November 2. Jake Camp, the old Pennsylvania captain of the eleven and in an Interview published In a Chicago paper he says: "There is no hope of success for a Western team in a football game with the big fellows of the East.at least not until the game is bettet- developed out here. In Harvard, Yale, Princetoa and Pennsylvania the fellows who are trying for the teams simply live on football. It is their business while the season lasts.

They live In a train, ing-house, where they talk and hear nothing but football. They dream of it at night, and the first thing they hear In the morning is football. Then they have breakfast, and talk football. After breakfast they practice football.

considerable dissatisfaction among Y. M. C. athletes over the recent order Issued by the Athletic Department disbanding the Basket Ball League. Several active members of last year's teams have taken the initiative looking to the formation of a new league outside the T.

M. and it is said that the West Philadelphia and Southern branches favor It Is proposed to organize a league of at least six clubs and to play a regular schedule of games for a pennant. A meeting to form a preliminary organization will probably be held in a few days. Jimmy McHale, the M. C.

of the Southwark Athletic Club, is a genius in his way. Just before the wind-up on last Saturday night, Jimmy stepped to the footlights and made this unique announcement: "Gents, the next entertainment of thjs club will be held on next Saturday night. We have a man at Maspeth to-night, and he will secure the winner of the fight to appear here, if it Is a draw he will secure the man who has the best of it." Concerning the proposed memorial to Harry Wright, the St. Louis Sporting News has this -to say: "The move ment to erect a monument to therlate Harry Wright by popular subscription should meet with a ready response from base ball enthusiasts. The Sporting News' check for will be or-j warded as a contribution as soon as the proper organization is effected.

Harry Wright's memory is honored and revered just as much as he was loved and admired in life. His services to the game began in its infancy, and through his wise counsel and unselfish ability it reached its advanced state. As a player, manager and of umpires, a position created for him by the National League, in appreciation of his personal and professional worth and which died with him, Mr. Wright always did his duty as he saw it. A more conscientious man or faithful employe never lived.

With a heroism which challenged admiration, he bore the affliction of impaired sight, when total blindness seemed his doom, and as soon as his eyes became stronger, resumed active connection with the Philadelphia Club. His popularity with the members of the press is an indication of the esteem in which he. wa3 held by the His views on the points of play and suggestions of improvements in the game were freely given when solicited and always so clearly that his interviewer left him enlightened." President A. J. Reach, Secretary Shettsline and Manager Irwin, of the Phillies, were at yesterday's football game.

So were a gr.eat many other base ball cranks, and one of them raised a laugh during a wait in the contest when one of the Pennsylvania players was injured by shouting out: "Put in Reilly!" The Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy will hold its first athletic entertainment of the season on Thursday night. The programme will consist of three six-round boxing contests, as follows: Jack. Hanley, of this city, vs. James Handler, of Newark, N. Jeremiah Miller, of this city, vs.

Billy Vernon, of Haverstraw, and Gus Turner vs. John Hamilton. A committee of the Wawaset.Rod and Gun Club, of Wilmington, will visit this city to-day to arrange for a shooting tournament with Philadelphia marksmen. H. H.

"Mrs. Toul-min, who hejd the championship cup, was unable to defend the title through an injury received to her hand some time ago by a fall. Her hand was so weak yesterday that she was unable to hold a racket. Miss Clark is a Baltimore girl, although a student at the Bryn Mawr College, from which she entered. There has been some discussion as to her eligibility to hold a Philadelphia championship cup, but as she entered without protest and played throughout the games the cup was awarded to her yesterday by the committee.

GRIFFO AND LAV1GXE ARRAIGNED. Rev. MoGuffle Refnaied to Press the Chnrge in Court. NEWTOWN, L. Oct.

14. Toung Griffo and Lavigne, who fought before the Empire Athletic Club on Saturday night, in Maspeth, and were arrested on a warrant sworn out by a minister. Rev. Edward McGuffie. were arraigned this afternoon.

The charge was that the men were about to break the law by engaging in a prize fight, but several officers declined to serve the warrant before the fight, and it was not served until the fight was over. Both the fighters were held under $20 ball for the examination to-day. In court their counsel asked for their discharge on the ground that the justice had no jurisdiction in the matter. The lawyers held that as the 12th of the month had passed, the charge on which the fighters had been arrested could not stand. The case was postponed by Justice Monteverde until Saturday.

Complainant McGuffie refused to go into the court room to press the charge. It is probable that when the case comes up the charge will be changed, and that the men will have to answer for engaging in a prize fight.

'LARGEST or rESSSYLVAMA DEFEATS LEHIGH AT FOOTBALL, FIFTY-FOIR POIXTS TO XOTHISG. MANY BRILLIANT RUNS MADE The Born In Bed and nine Played a Splendid Game, the Interference BeinK of the Hljchest Order.

The IJethleheni Boys Xever Got Xear the Qnakeri' Goal Line. Over three thousand people saw Pennsylvania defeat Lehigh 54 to 0, at Franklin Field yesterday, the largest score of the season. Laurie Bliss, the famous Yale half-back, who Is coaching the Bethlehem boys, announced before the game that bis team had a good chance of scoring. Laurie must have been counting on Fitzgerald doing some phenomenal drop kicking for Lehigh never got the ball within Pennsylvania's thirty-five yard line except on a punt. The game had been scheduled for Saturday, but was post poned on account of the rain.

The field was still very soft and the players were covered with mud five minutes after time was called. Two twenty-five minute halves were played and it was a fine exhibition of clean football free from any slugging or un necessary roughness. Once Bull and Fitzgerald got nixed up while the the Pennsylvania centre went down heavily, hurting his ankle. It was said that the Lehigh full back had purposely kicked him in the calf of the leg, but Bull exonerated Fitzgerald from all blame and said his injury was entirely accidental. Pennsylvania's work was the best ever shown by a "University team so early in the season.

The interference was almost up to the championship form of last year and protected by it Brooke, Minds, Gelbert and Dickson made many long runs, Brooke at one time carrying the ball seventy yards for a touchdown. The men were quick In getting the interference started and the backs all followed it closely. The Quakers made most of their gains around Lehigh's ends and between tackle and end. Keys, Baldwin and Trafton put up a very fine defensive game for Lehigh and held their end up well against Pennsylvania's centre. The red and blue never made any great gains in this direction.

Plenty of Ivlcklnsr. There was plenty of kicking done and although Fitzgerald is no novice at that, Brooke gained on every ex- v. r-v i .1 1 the Lehigh men make any material gains. This was just a few minutes before time was called in the first when Bannard went through Off for five yards and on the next line up Fitzgerald got through between Stannard and Bull for a 10-yard gain. Every other time that Lehigh got the ball she lost It on downs or by fumbling.

There was some slight fumbling In Pennsylvania's back field, but no damage was done. As a general rule Brooke handled Fitzgerald's high punts very cleverly. Captain- Williams, put tip a splendid game at quarter. He got the ball quickly and was always in the Interference. He kept his men on the jump ixlt line, rriinaj ivaiua a play being much faster than in the previous games.

The Quakers won the toss and as a pretty stiff wind was blowing Captain Williams took the western goal with the wind at ftis back. Lehigh's first kick off went out of bounds, but on the second attempt Fitzgerald sent the ball to Pennsylvania's ten-yard line. Brooke returned it to Lehigh's fifty-yard line and Pennsylvania secured the ball on a fumble. Tonchdonn In a Minute. Minds crashed through right tackle for twenty-five yards and Gelbert then skirted the left end for another twenty-five-yard run and a touchdown, a minute after play was called.

Bnsoke kicked the goal. Lehigh kicked oft and got the ball on Off's fumble, but could not advance it. A run of eighteen yards by Dickson and Boyle's plunge through the centre for ten took the leather down the field and Minds went around the left end for another touchdown In five minutes. Brooke received Fitzgerald's kick, and sent the ball to Lehigh's 25-yard line. Bannard fumbled and Woodruff picking it up carried it over for the third touchdown.

Brooke sent the ball over the bar. Gelbert took the ball after Fitzgerald had kicked off and gained 10 yards through right tackle. Lehigh got the ball on holding and Fitzgerald kicked to Pennsylvania's five-yard line. Williams received it, and passed it to Brooke, who ad- it var1a "Rrooke and Off II liVtll .7 tried the centre ior siigiii gam, mm then Dickson made a beautiful run of 20 yards around left end behind fine Interference. Gelbert skirted the opposite end for eight, and then Minds took If over for a touchdown.

Brooke kicked the goal. Gelbert received Fitzgerald kick opd the ball 15 yards. A 20-yard run by Brooke and one of five by Gelbert carried it well down the field. Here Gelbert dropped the ball, and Williams picking it up like flash dashed over the line for the fifth touchdown. There was no further scoring in this half.

Pennsylvania having made SO oints uo to this time. Brooke tried tar a field goal from the 40-yard line, but kicked low, and the ball struck one of his own men. It was at this stage of the game that Bannard and Fitzgerald made their runs of five and 10 yards, respectively! Time was called with Lehigh having the ball near the middle of the field. The Second Half. Brooke kicked off for Pennsylvania In the second half.

Fitzgerald punted and -Wagonhurst got through and blocked the kick. Minds grabbed the ball and -took it over the line. Brooke kicked the goal. Fitzgerald and Brooke exchanged kicks and the Pennsyi-vanias got the ball on four downs. Gelbert advanced it 15 yards around the left end and Dickson gained eight yards the same direction.

Good runs by Brooke and Dickson took the ball well up the field, where Minds was shoved through the centre for a touchdown. Brooke kicked a very pretty goal. Minds, Off and Boyle took turns advancing the ball for the Quakers, and the former scored the next touchdown on a 20-yard run through left tackle. The goal was a difficult one, but Brooke kicked It. Fitzgerald kicked to Pennsylvania's 10-yard line, and Williams made a run of l.

yards around left end. Gelbert and Dickson made a couple of pretty runs. Gelbert fumbled on the next play, and Fitzgerald kicked to Pennsylvania's 40-yard line. The ball was passed to Brooke.who ran 70 yards behind pretty Interference, for a touchdown and also kicked the goal. Time was called shortly afterwards, with Lehigh having the ball in midfield.

The teams lined up as follows: Pennsylvania. Position. Lehigh. Boyle Left end Okeson Wagonhurst Thurston Woodruff Left Trafton Bull Centre Keys Rtannard Baldwin Off Right tackle Gunsolus CORE OE SEASON BETTER WORK AT YALE Plenty of Life In the Practice at Sew Haven. Special to The Inquirer.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 14. A large crowd was out to see 'Varsity practice this afternoon, expecting to see a general shaking up of the candidates for the team on account of Yale's being scored upon Saturday. Not a little improvement was noticeable. The men seemed to take the matter considerably to heart, and to be determined that no misfortune should befall the team again.

Ex-Captain Hinkey said to-day: "If the Crescents had worked their way through the Yale line and forced a touchdown it would have been much better in every v-ay. The men would have realized what they were coming to and beneficial results would have followed at once; as it is, they think the safety was due to a fluke, and so do not care as much. When Williams scored on Yale last year I was sorry to have our record spoiled, but very glad it occurred, for the sake of the team. It brought the men to their senses as nothing else would have done." Whatever was the cause, the play today was decidedly more lively than it has been since the Amherst game. The men lined up quickly and the play was full of snap.

Several times some verv fair specimens of interference were noticeable, and the backs shot round the ends closely guarded. Letton and Jer-rems each played a half at full back, and did excellent work. They lifted the ball well on punts and struck the line hard when the signal sent them through the centre. Captain Thome appeared In football clothes, but did not plav. He piuuauiy taite a aav or two to recover from his shock on Saturday.

Long-acre was obliged to lay off because of an old strain at the knee, which is troubling him again. Chadwick and Monks, too. are on the sick list, though they will probably be around soon. Fincke's tackling and general defensive play were excellent. The little quarter is rounding into shape nicely and the doubts entertained regarding him in the early part of the season are rapidly being dispelled.

Corwin, captain of the '84 team, was on the field again this afternoon, consulting with Thome, and as a result the trailing table will receive a number of recruits during the next few days. AND THERE ARE OTHERS With King, Cowan, A mes and Donnelly Princeton Migrht Beat Harvard. Special to. The Inquirer. PRINCETON, Oct.

14. Princetonians who assembled along the side lines today were treated to a pleasant surprise when Beef Wheeler appeared on the field, rigged out in all the paraphernalia of the gridiron. His presence there had a deep significance to the undergraduates, inasmuch he is eligible to play only against Harvard. The four vesx' clause of the Yale-Princeton agreement barred him from their contests, and he retired from the field last fall. The undergraduate regard the Harvard game as a certaTTnty, and their opinion was heartily corroborated when the Advisory Board ordered Wheeler to don his football clothes and begin active training.

He will greatly strengthen the line in the Harvard game, and his value cannot be over-estimated as operating to steady the team. The nraotir tnlav woo nm start to finish, both teams showing up well. Cochran returned to his old position at end, but had not sufficiently recovered from malaria fever to play un to his standard.

"There may be a fight at Hot Springs, but it won't be a prize fight," said Governor Clark to an Associated Press representative. "I earnestly hope that extreme measures will not be necessary. I know those people, every one of them, and they are my friends and I should very much regret to be compelled to adopt harsh methods, but the law gives me the authority and supplies the means, and if the necessity arises I shall certainly prevent the fight at any cost." The Governor finds that the law of 1S)1 was not legally enacted, leaving the State without, a law on the subject of prize fighting. The law of 1S38, which, in his opinion, invests in the executive ample authority for carrying out the policy, he has decided to adopt. This law does not refer to prize fights, but rather to and rebellion.

Under its operation the Governor is allowed almost unlimited latitude and could declare the district in "which the disturbance occurs" to be in rebellion against the State and could not only drive out by force all the parties connected with the disturbance, but could arrest and imprison without process of law. Preparing? for the Fight. HOT SPRINGS, Oct. 14. S.

C. Huller, chief of the Bureau of Information of the Florida Athletic Club, will lefive to-morrow morning for Little Rock, thence to all townsi of any consequence along the Iron Mountain Railway to Tsxarkana, to make arrangements foi hotel accommodations for who may attend the Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight here on October 31. After he completes this tour he will issue a pamphlet giving all the information desired concerning hotel accommodations, one hundred thousand of which will be sent out. Messrs. Brady and Vendig were very active to-day in making preparations for the great event, which will be commenced in dead earnest by the middle of the week.

License Can Be Issued. AUSTIN, Oct. 14. The Supreme Court to-day handed down its opinion in the cases of the tax collector of Williamson and Hays county, seeking to force the Comptroller to issue them a prize fight license under the law passed at the regular sesion of the Legislature held last spring. The court declines to mandamus the Comptroller for a license on the ground that the special session of the Legislature recently convened nullified all previous laws on the sufclect by passing a new law, making prize fighting a felony and no license can be issued.

Everything Fixed All Rljeht. SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 14. Corbett received the following, telegram from W. A.

Brady at Hot Springs last night: "Come at once. Everything fixed all right: protection guaranteed." Corbett will leave for Hot Springs to-morrow night.

KNOCKED DOWN IN THE SIXTH In to the Eighth Round Crai Had the Better of the Fight, But Cree-don Got Down to Business Then and Clearly Ontfoiia-ht Him. tt LONDON. Oct. 14. Frank Craig, the Harlem Coffee Cooler," and Dan Cree-don, well known in America, fought a twenty-round bout at the National Sporting Club to-night and Creedon won.

Thousands of the rough element crowded outside the club house and the police had great difficulty in preserving order. Among the first arrivals at the ringside was Peter Jackson, accompanied by Alec Roberts, and he was wildly cheered as he entered. About 9 o'clock a stylish brougham brought Lord Lonsdale to the scene of the battle. The crowd of spectators included a plentiful array of bearers of titles. At .10 o'clock the contestants' who had entered the ring a few minutes before, shook hands and the encounter commenced.

The opening rounds were contested in a friendly fashion, but on warming to the work Craig rushed and swung his right with such effect that Creedon, after being knocked down in the 'sixth round, became weak and was all but beaten in that and the two subsequent rounds. Still he fought gamely and just towards the end of the eighth round he landed with the right on the jaw and shook "The Cooler." From this point, Craig boxed wildly and frequently clutched his opponent or ran around the ring to escape punishment. He occasionally swung his right but Creedon had the best of matters to the. end in the twentieth round. The progress of the fight and the result caused immense excitement among the roughs outside and the police were obliged to charge the crowd to enable the club members to make an exit.

14. A large force of workmen are engaged in getting the grounds and track of the Cecil County Agricultural Society in shape for the twenty-six day running meeting under the auspices of the Maryland Racing Association which is' to begin here one week from to-morrow. Mitchell Hall, the main exhibition building. 50 250 feet, has been cleared of all show cases, tables, and will be used for the selling of pools. The ftower department, immediately back of this building, will be flqored over and used as a dining hall.

A platform is to be laid from the front of the grand stand to the race track, and a paddock made between the grand stand and the cattle stalls. A ditch will be dug all around the half mile track, and the dirt thrown upon the track to soften it for the runners. A telegraph office for the purpose of sending the results of the races here and rests should be made before a hearing on the subject had been had from a nigner, than had heretofore decided upon it. This was in view of the fact that Judge Bischoff in this city, and Judge Gaynor, in Brooklyn, had rendered opposing opinions on the constitutionality of the Percy-Gray Racing law. Justice Ingraham said that the only question was whether racing was a crime under the law and that he could only pass upon that.

"The constitution does not in itself make racing a crime," said the Justice, "and there is no law that I know to show that it is illegal to have contests for speed between horses. The only thing that I can see is that the association has offered prizes. There is nothing to show that two men have put up bets on the horses. I can see no violation of the law, as it has been submitted to me by the District Attorney. The entries stakes paid to the association are- given by the association as prizes.

There is no violation of the law in that. I will, therefore, discharge the defendant under the decision that no law has beeri violated." HARVARD "WILL PLAY PR1XCETOS. The Crimson Agrees to Meet the Tigers on November 2. Special to The Inquirer. CAMBRIDGE.

Oct. 14. Har vard will play Princeton on the latter's grounds on November 2. That much was decided definitely at the meeting of Harvard's coachers this evening. The game which had been scheduled with the I University of Michigan for that date will be canceled and Harvard will con cede time and place to Princeton's wishes and will agree to play again next year at Harvard.

As has already been tola in 1 he Inquirer, the two colleges have through their representatives already agreed UDon the vital noints of play which are governed by widely dif- ierent rules, frinceton nas agreed that Harvard should have more than three players behind the line when the ball is put in play. The concessions by each side are slightly in Harvard's favor, inasmuch as Harvard is given the opportunity' to drop back the ends and get them in a good position to participate in the interference. The remaining details will be settled by Captain Brewer and Captain Lea after Wednesday. Harvard has a game scheduled with Williams for that dav and will not be able to confer with the Princeton captain until after that game. Harvard's coachers in their meeting tonight were confronted with the too-evident fact that eleven is far from ready to cope wfth the Princeton Tigers.

The team has not yet been selected, and November 2 is much too near for the peace of mind of the coachers. But Harvard ie too anxious for a game with Princeton to think of the consequences. The extra week's practice which November 9 would have given would be invaluable to the team. No team ever undertook a hard game with so little practice as Harvard will have had when she meets Princeton. But Cornell did not see fit to surrender her game with Prinreton, so Harvard had to take the' beat he could get.

It should be stated right, here that Harvard did not formally request Cornell to surrender the date of her scheduled game with Princeton. Anticipating the action of the coachers K-nignt captain Brewer to-day devoted the practive of the eleven to the interference, which will be used in the Princeton game. It was the first attempt at systematic interference which has been tried, and it was a lamentable failure. The players fall all over each other and blocked their own backs rather than the opposing rushers. BOXIXG AT SEA ISLE CITY.

The Pastime Club Being; Reorganized by Prominent Sporting; Men. Boxing will shortly be resumed at Sea Isle City, N. J. A party of prominent sporting men have interested themselves in the Sea Isle Pastime Club and are now at work arranging for the opening, which will shortly be announced.

BRIAR PIPE GIVEN AWAY POUND baJe Every pipe smped Dukes Mixtu re or 2 oz.

Packages A few recitations and a dinner and then more football. After supper they are lectured on football, and football plays are spread out before them on blackboards. Football is all they have, all they do. They play It, have it talked Into them, eat It and drink it. It is always in their minds, always before their eyes.

Dozens of fellows who have been on earlier teams are constantly around to instruct and criticise and show where each individual player's work could be Improved. They invent new plays and practice them all day long. Football is everything. It is no wonder, therefore, that they play well, and the college teams won't be able to compete successfully with the Eastern until they spend as much time and energy on the game. Michigan will "be beaten by Harvard, of course, and so.

will we if we play there. We will be beaten at Pennsylvania, too, but we won't lose a game in our trip to any athletic club team in our own class." George -Woodruff has been engaged to coach the Hill School team on Mondays. George Went up' to Pottstown yesterday and gave the boys some pointers on scientific plays. Following closely upon the Lehigh game, Pennsylvania will play the team from the Indian School of Carlisle to-morrow afternoon at Franklin Field. So far this season the Indians i have made an excellent record wln-j ning all the games played.

Among them are the games with Pennsylva-1 nia College at Gettysburg, and the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club, whom the Pennsylvania team will play on October 215, at Pittsburg. The Indians last year played an excellent game against Lehigh, being defeated bya score of 22 to 12. -The Naval Academy at Annapolis, whom Pennsylvania defeated by a small score, also scored only eight points on them. So, that judging from the scores of last year and their excellent showing to date, they should put up an interesting game against the wearers of the red and blue. Their line up will be as follows: Carlisle Indian School: Jamison, left end; Printzup.

left tackle; Wheelock, left guard; Pierce, right guard; Irwin, right tackle; Campson, right end; Hudson, quarterback; McFarland, left half-back; Schanandore, right half Metoxen, full back; Lonewolf, centre. The Princeton Tigers will play the Lawrenceville School team at Law-renceville to-day. Two years ago Lawrenceville scored on Princeton. The school boys have a very good team this year. The Princeton Seminary team will play the Princeton Varsity on Wednesday afternoon instead of the Franklin and Marshall collegians, who have cancelled their date owing to their faculty's disapproval of playing football games so far from home.

Coach Newell of Cornell sees the necessity "Toe immediate hustle since-the Harvard game is only two weeks off. The problem of filling Billy Ohl's position has taken a sudden change. Young Fennell, who played centre last year, has recently been tried at full back, and showed up yell. He was. also quick to practice Kicking goals, and did it creditably.

Next week will likely be passed in secret practice, perfecting plays and signals for the Harvard game. White, Connard and Star-back, who have been on the hospital list, are out again today in their football suits. SMASHING THE RECORDS Gardiner, Deeardy, Anderson and Van Heriick Make World's Time.

14. The First National Purity Congress, under the auspices of the American Purity Alliance, convened In this city and will continue In session for three days. Social reformers from all parts of the country are present as delegates, most of them with papers upon various subjects, which they will read during the sessions. Among these are Julia Ward Howe, Elbridge T. Gerry, Anthony.

Comstock. Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, and scores of others of almost equal prominence. The sessions began to-night in the Friends' Meeting House, on Park avenue. President Powell, in opening the meeting, said that the objects of the congress are: "The repression of vice, the prevention of its regulation by the State, the better protecton of the young, the rescue of the fallen, to extend the "White Cross work among men and to proclaim the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women." Some Laws a I) Ink nice.

"Vice, he said, is legalized In Europe, but in few cases is it so in America, and in these cases It is nominally rather than actually rendered lawful. He referred to Omaha, in which city, he said, fines are imposed which amounted In reality to a tax, the proceeds of which go to the maintenance of the public schools, a practice which he condemned in the severest terms. He -also spoke of the efforts made to legalize th.e evil In Cleveland, St. Louis, New Tork city and "even the Puritan city of Boston." The speaker dwelt upon the laws of the various States concerning "the age of consent," of which he said: "These so-called age of consent statutes discriminate against girlhood and In favor of Immoral men. They are, for the most part, a disgrace to the several States of the Union." In conclusion the speaker expressed the hope that the present Congress would have the effect of emphasizing the necessity for a single standard of purity for both sexes.

The Regulation System. Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, of New Jersey, read a paper on "The Immorality of the Regulation System," of whiAi she said, among other things, that "It accepts and condones wrongdoing. It shields men only. It is organized flagrant injustice to woman.

It proves inadequate to do what it nt-tempts. Statistics show that It has nowhere lessened, that it has often increased the- spread of disease. It Increases the depravity of the depraved, tempting men to deeper dishonor by helping them to hide their sins; treating women with no grain of personal consideration, it destroys the -remnants of their self-respect. It deludes and deceives the weak. It lays snares for the young by making It easy to lure them to dishonor." Rev.

Dr. S. H. Virgin, of New Tork, addressed the congress on the -subject of "The religious aspects of the purity movement." SLASHED IN A FRAY A Policeman Stahbed 14 Times While Attempting an Arrest. SEATTLE, Oct.

C. Benner whereby his two boys will next year be on Crimson Rims, the same mounts they have been usin'g this season. Mr. Benner has rerceived a large number of offers for mounts for the-boys, but after seriously considering everything he has concluded to keep them on the Syr-acxise. Next season Mr.

Benner proposes to do differently from what he did this year. He. expects to follow the circuit and put himself entirely into the hands of the manager of the biaf Class teams. In; this way he will be able to save considerably in traveling expenses and he will be assured of better treatment and dates in advance. Harry Cain, the retiring captain: of tha Time Wheelmen, served the club longer) 'probably and far better than any cap tain has ever served a ciud Derore.

If soma of the other clubs could get men to serve them as Harry has served the Time Whelemen. bicycling would be on the "boom" all the time, for there is nothing too gigantic for the club to undertake, and when it came down to doing the work Harry had a greater part of it to attend to.

Captain Paschall will have to hustle if he wishes to keep up the club's reputation. There is talk of holding a big bicycle parade In the near future, either by; night or by day. No arrangements have been made yet, and unless the A. C. C-takes it up, as they may do, it is not likely to take place.

No one club couldi do this without the assistance of all the others, and as the A. C. C. is composed of nearly all the large clubs of the city; they are the ones to undertake it. have done nothing of late, and now la the time for them to redeem themselves.

Tracks at the rate they- are toeing built and contemplated will be numerous ir this vicinity next year if they are not all "talk." Charlie Church, the local Class Rambler rider, will be one of the many riders in the coming road race at Wilmington on October 2.

He filled out his entry yesterday and will forward it to-day. If he is not "roasted" by the handicapper Church stands a fair sbow-ef winning first and time prize.
