NEW HAVEN, Oct. 16. The game at the field this afternoon between Dartmouth and Yale was the best seen here this season. While Yale ran up a good score, which she could have increased had she chosen, the playing was at times very evenly matched, particularly during the first half, when the Dartmouth line held well.

BETTER WORK BY HARVARD The Crimson Lads Defeat Williams Thirty-two to othing. CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 16 (Special). At last Harvard's eleven begins to show some sign of improvement. Although there was much to criticise in to-day's play with Williams there was at the same time a decided gain over the game of a week ago.

This inspiration may be due to the knowledge that they will meet the Princeton Tigers in a little over two weeks. The individual Play was better and the team work showed improvement. There were several long runs, due almost wholly. to systematic interference Charlie Brewer and Gonterman aroused enthusiastic cheers for the first time this season. They were quick to take advantage of the paths worked out by the interference.

In nearly every instance when these end plays were made the runner was dragged down from behind. The rear was left unguarded. The Williams line was very weak and Harvard's rushers broke through at will. The entire left side of the line was particularly vulnerable and was bowled down at every attack. This weakness In the line gave Harvard a chance to block punts frequently and at the very outset Draper was forced to make a safety for this reason.

As in all the preceding games this year Harvard lost distance repeatedly for off-side play. Both sides fumbled badly. Harvard was very weak in tackling. Arthur Brewer missed three' easy goals and Charlie Brewer was outpunted by Draper. Harvard won, 32 to 0.

OVERCOATS as low OVERCOATS CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. up surprisingly strong; in defensive play, and with good coaching they would defeat Lehigh, Lafayette or any team outside of the larger colleges. Vance McCormlck, the old Tale quarter-back, was at Carlisle one day this fall, and that was the only time on which the Indians have received any instructions in the strategic points of play. They played the game in a style peculiar to themselves, relying mainly on their strength and gTit to carry tbem through. Pennsylvania's mass plays and skillfully formed wedges had no terrors for them.

They fearlessly crushed into the interference and tackled like fiends. Two twenty-five-minute halves were played. In the first Pennsylvania by the hardest kind of work. She made five more in the second, and kicked two of the goals, winning- by a score of 3G to 0. The Indians frequently got the ball on downs, and near the close of the first half carried it to within a yard of the Quakers' goal line.

Here Penn, by a tremendous effort, managed to secure it on four downs, and Minds punted out of danger. It was the closest call red and blue has had this year and came near spoiling a perfect record. Brooke Badly Hurt. There was one unfortunate accident for Pennsylvania in this half. Brooke, who had been playing a splendid game On the 'Warpath.

at full back, was thrown with such force as to wrench the ligaments of his left shoulder. Dr. J. William White attended him, and announced that the injury was a serious one and might keep Brooke out of the game for two or three weeks. His absence will weaken' Pennsylvania greatly.

Minds took his place at full back, and although he kicked fairly well he cannot be considered In the same class with Brooke. Wharton played his first game of the year. His leg did not seem to bother him. He exhibited all his old-time dash in the line, and also made quite a reputation as a goal kicker, sending the ball over the bar on the last two touchdowns, after Brooke and "Woodruff had failed on every previous attempt. Ponndiag Through the Line.

The way the Indians got through the line in the first half was calculated to give Coach Woodruff nervous prostration. TThey opened holes at the tackles large enough to drive a horse and wagon through, and McFarland and Metoxen made many gains in this direction. The Quakers found the Indians' line to hold very well, and most of their long runs were made by skirting the ends behind good interference. Minds, Gelbert and Williams played a star game for the red and blue. The prettiest feature of contest The Modern Hiawatha.

was an So-yard run and a touchdown by Williams at the start of the second half. He got the ball from McFar-land's kick-off at the 25-yard line, and by skillful dodging eluded the entire Indian team and touched it down squarely between the goal posts. Tonchdown in Five Mlnutet. Pennsylvania's first touchdown was made five minutes after play was called by steady gains through the tackles and around the ends, Wood-Tuff carrying the ball over the line. Woodruff made another touchdown on the same style of play seven minutes later.

The last touchdown In this half was due to a fumble of Metoxen, on the Indians 35-yard line, Wharton getting the ball and carrying it over. No goals were kicked and time was called for the half with the score at 12 to 0. Captain Williams made his men play a very fast game in the second half, and the rapid play seemed to daze the Indians somewhat and made scoring easier. Williams, by his long run, scored the first touchdown in thirty seconds after play was called. After the Indians had kicked off, Pennsylvania by steady rushing again took the ball up the field, and Blair was shoved through the centre for another touchdown.

Minds and Gelbert also carried the ball over the line in this half, and Blair got another touchdown. Wharton kicked two of the goals, making the total score, Pennsylvania, Indians, 0. About 1500 people saw the game. The line-up follows: Penna. Positions.

INCREASING INTEREST IN THE GREAT ARMORY SERVICE. Rev. Dr. Webb Appeals to the Thousands Who Last Wight Attended the Revival Meeting. A congregation that nearly filled the big auditorium attended last night's revival services in the First Regiment armory.

Rev. Dr. William Swindells presided and the opening prayer was made by Bishop Foss, who asked that the divine blessing rest on the speakers and listeners at the service. The sermon was preached by Rev. Er.

Webb, pastor of the Kensington Street Church, who took for his theme the descent of Christ from the Mount of Olives and his entry into Jerusalem. Drawing a picture of the Saviour as he stooped tearfully beholding the city, the Doctor said: "It must have been no uncommon thing for Jesus to weep, though the Scriptures mention it in but two places, once at the death of Lazarus and once when he came from the Mount. Christ must have had an intimation of what was to come upon the city, for at this time there was nothing else to cause him to shed tears. At this time Jesus Christ had reached the climax of his battles." The speaker went on to show the necessity of accepting Christ in order to be numbered among the saved. "If we are lost," he declared, "It is not because we have sinned, but because we have rejected Christ." He then made an earnest appeal to his auditors to come out openly and declare for Christ.

The exhortation brought many to the altar. The chorus choir was led by Professor Sweeny, and the Ohio Conference Quartette also took part in the vocal program. A TALK WITH KID GLKASON He Tells How Baltimore Won the Pennant and Lost the Cup. "Kid" Gleason, of the Baltimore team, has arrived at his home, in Camden, for the winter. The "Kid" is looking well and says he feels just as good as he looks.

Speaking of the work of the Orioles, Gleason says the team landed at the head of the League race simply because they played the game of base ball as it should be played. Said he: "The team was given instructions to sacrifice when the advancement of a runner meant something and we all acted under instructions. We didn't have a record player on the team, and that's why we won." When asked to explain the poor showing made in the Temple cup series by the champions, Gleason said that the Orioles' defeat was due to the fact that they had to work pretty hard the last week of the race, while the Cleveland players were having a good rest. "Our pitchers," said the "Kid," "were tired out, while the batteries of the Spiders were in first-class condition, and that's why we were downed." In relation to the last series between the champions and the Phillies Gleason says he never saw the Phillies work harder and that Baltimore won owing to superior playing.

They Are Looking Into a Xew System of Motive Power. PITTSBURG, Oct. 16. The visit of President George B. Roberts and the other executive officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to Pittsburg this week was not made wholly for the inspection of the company's property here.

This morning the special train load of officials went to East Pittsburg, where they spent the entire day examining the practical operation of the electro-magnetic system of underground circuits for the operation of switch engines and other railroad purposes. They also gave much time to the tests of large gas engines, which are to be used to operate electric generators. These gas engines are expected to do away with the coal burning locomotives in use on the New York roads and which, in time, will be generally substituted for steam engines all over the world. Mr. Westinghouse claims they will do the work of locomotives at one-eighth the cost of the latter.

The Pennsylvania Railroad consumes tons of coal oer annum on its lines east of Pittsburg. If the power were to be generated by gas engines, only OoO.OOO tons of coal would be required. To make the change stations having electric generating plants with gas engines and producers, would be located at Intervals of from ten to twenty miles. The electric locomotive could be operated by one man and so arranged that it could be used as a ca-bocse car. On long trains a second locomotive would be placed in the centre.

The electric current in addition to propelling the train, could be used for lighting the tracks at night, thereby preventing accidents. The current could also be used for heating trains. The officials were greatly pleased with what they aw. As many as the "Penn-sy" people are stockholders in the Westinghouse concerns it is likely the Pennsylvania Railroad will be the first to adopt the new power for general railroad use. To-night T.

N. Ely, general superintendent of motive power, consulted Mr. Westinghouse in regard to details of operation. The officials will bo here for several days. MUNICIPAL GLEANINGS State Treasurer Jackson sent down a check yesterday for $170, (XX), school money.

UAT CPRIWflS rvt 1ft (Invornnr Clark came over from Little Rock tori at norm and wns clrstri nil tho afternoon in a private room at the Arlington with the Citizens' Committee and the representatives of the county. The conference lasted from 2.30 to 5.30 o'clock, and from the earnest manner in which the discussion was carried on, it was of vital importance to the hope of the Florida Athletic Association and those who are desirous of pulling off the contest here between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. At the conclusion of the conference, Governor Clarke and Judge Duffle passed out of the hotel and down the street In searcn or juage n. t. Hudgins, of the Fourteenth Judicial has been here several days, during which time he has taken occasion to inveigh against the proposed contest.

The Governor and Judges Duffie and Hudgins were soon engaged in an earnest conference, the result of which was not learned. It is stated on good authority, however, that Judge Hudgins has given the Governor an opinion that there is no law against prize fighting on the statutes and also that the Governor has no power to call out the militia to suppress something against which no law exists. It is thoroughly understood that Governor Clarke has agreed to keep hands off and let the local authorities handle the affair, the power to discriminate as to the difference between a prize fight and scientific glove content to lie with Judge Duffie. Corbett has spent the day in light exercise. 'This morning he went down to Snj-inrr T.lrf accomnanied bv Mrs.

Corbett and Mr. and Mrs. Brady, returning about 3.30 o'clock. Corbett expressed himself as very much pleased with his new quarters, whither he will go to-morrow morning and resume active preparations for the contest. It is now stated that Fitzsimmons will remain at Corpus Christ! until the day before the contest.

The Xew Agreement. The new articles of agreement have been signed by Corbett and the club representatives, and they will be forwarded to Fitzsimmons for his signature. They are as follows: The Florida Athletic Club, party of the first part, and James J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons, parties of the second part, hereby agree to abide the conditions of this contract, which are as follows: First That parties of the second part agree to box twenty-five rounds, under Marquis of Queensberry rules, with soft gloves, which shall weigh not less than Ave ounces, October 31, 1895, at Hot springs.

Fourth The referee is hereby vested with full power to stop this contest whenever in his opinion it becomes brutal. for James J.

Corbett. JOSEPH H. VENDIG, Manager Florida Athletic Association. FltKsImnionM May Sot Sign. It is thought by many that Fitz-snmmons will refuse to sign the articles, as he was not looking for a soft glove contest for a limited number of rounds wherein there are doubts of a decision being arrived at as to who is champion, he or Corbett.

The big five-ounce gloves with which they propose to fight were submitted to General Taylor for Inspection. They looked as large as baby pillows and as harmless. Nearly all the members of the prizefighting contingent have put In an appearance. Peter Maher and Steve O'Donnell came in on the same train last night as did Corbett. O'Donnell and party stopped off at Spring Lake, tiiree miles down the railroad, and went directly to the training quarters that have been selected for them.

Maher came into the city and put up at the Arlington until this morning, when he quietly slipped out to Hughe's wine garden, a resort situated about half a mile south of the city, and where the training quarters have been established for him. Both men are in the pink of condition and appear to be training hard and conscientiously for the contest to come off between them.

'Have your grocer- send you some of Cocoa and Chocolates with your next order. Once tried, always -deed. twenty minutes, Yale secured but ten I pom is io ner credit, Dut tne second half, Thome departed from his policy of playing substitutes, and pushing ahead with the same 'rush game, added sixteen more. The match was free from all objectionable features. No one was injured, and the kicking which was frequently resorted to opened up the play and made a much more interesting game.

The field was in excellent condition for football, and the large crowd of spectators generally bestowed their applause upon the good plays of both sides. There were plenty of these, and Dartmouth came in for her full share. The Hanover boys gave an excellent exhibition of football, and comparing their game with that of Amherst should have little trouble with the latter in the triangular championship fight. The line is heavy and works in well together. The backs are a sturdy set of men who run hard with the ball, and follow their interference well.

And in her Interference Dartmouth certainly excelled Yale, but this was not unexpected as the Yale men are not instructed t.o any extent in team play so early in the season. One of the prettiest plays of the afternoon occurred in the first half when Crolius shot around Hinkey's end under the interference of Eckstrom, Lakeman and Bowles and with only Letton to fear down the field for thirty-five yards. This was their longest gain of the day. Kelly did some clever tackling, and his example was closelv followed hv other Hanover boys who seldom missed tneir man. xne play which gave the Yale rooters th most pleasure was a run of DeWitfs for sixty yards after a catch of McCormack's kick-off.

Yale's play showed great imnrove- ment in every way. The men lined up emu pmjcu wun a snap wnicn was delightful to see. Everv man in the line was at his best, with the exception of Louis Hinkey and Sheldon, who substituted for Chadwick. Cross, Sandford and Chadwick allowed very few gains and frequently broke through for a good tackle. Murphy and Rodgers were sent with the ball and Rodgers' rushes always resulted in good gains.

Louis Hinkey got down the field well on punts but missed his tackle three different times. Thome dropped back for the punting after taking Jerrems' place, and had a little the better of the Hanover men in this respect. DeWitt put up the finest game at half-back that has been seen on the Yale field this year. The line up follows: Yale. Positions.

So many things have had to be done to put the course and buildings in proner shape for the bang tails that those in charge of that end of it have had their hands full. But by the time the gates are thrown open on Saturday next everything that could tend to the comfort and convenience of those attending will have been done and a standard established for tracks of this Pize. The track itself is in prime condition and Charley Gould, well-known to all race-goers, has It in charge, which is a sufficient warrant for its fitness. Rumors in regard to the horses that will come to this meeting have given the idea that their numbers will be limited. Just how far from the truth this Is may be gathered from the following facts: There are at present stabled on the track sixty-two horses and six car loads are now on the way from Washington and ten more cars from New York and vicinity.

Transportation for ten more car loads has been engaged at New York and by Saturday there will be over 200 borses on the grounds. In addition to these applications for room are being received daily from the West. So much so In fact that the cattle sheds are being turned into stables as fast as the carpenters can do so. While it is true that the authorities at St. Asapha have attempted to coerce the poor devils of horse owners who are running there and too poor to get away, like all such bovcotts it has fallen of its own weight and the horses are being shipped.

The two fellows examined the machine thoroughly and finally, as they left, thanked the clerk, Faying they would rot have missed seeing that wheel for a good deal. They probably returned home with the firm belief that it was Johnson's wheel that they had so thoroughly inspected and it will no doubt be a long time before they tire of telling of its wonders to their friends in the country. Next Monday evening the Wayne Wheelmen will give a smoke at their Germantown avenue club houf This is the first of a series which ft to be given during the winter mr Quite a number of racers training at the Westmoreland track or "Black" Sam White's benefit on next Saturday.

Among those who attend more strictly to work is Wanamaker Smith, who i3 looked upon as the winner in everything-he rides; at any rate he is working hard to accomplish that end and never fails to take advantage of any suggestion that a rider may offer him. People ares beginning to "smell a rat" and are asking Johnnie Wells why he is training so hard recently. Every afternoon he can be seen out on the road scorching hard enough to do credit to-any Broad street policeman, but still he insists that he is merely doing it for exercise. Rumor, however, has it that It is the 100-mile record that Johnnie so eagerly covets. Is what he is really training for, and that within the next few days he will start after it.

The Wilmington Bicycle Club have formed a fotball team and are practicing nightly with the hope that they may meet some of the other wheeling organizations on the gridiron In the near future.

He has said that Corbett and Fitzsimmons shall not fight in Arkansas, and judging by current evnits he means just exactly what he says.

It's a ten to one shot that Corbett and Fitzsimmons will either go to the wcrkhouse, or be riddled with bullets if they attempt to settle their little dispute at Hot Springs, and the best thins they can do is to shake the sunny South, and come to the bleak north and take chances. Bv this time the promoters of the fight must be convinced that it cannot take place in this country under the sanction of the law, and the only way to bring it off is to go to some foreign country, or fight in 'private, Corbett and Fitzsimmons have grievances against each othe, and each has said he will fight the other for mere personal satisfaction. Well, here's your chance, gentlemen. Go into the backwoods and fight for the stake already up, and let the winner take the pile. George Dixon and Young Grlffo have been matched to box ten rounds at the New Manhattan Athletic Club, New York, on October They are to meet at catch weights and this will give Dixon a decided advantage.

Grlffo has paid no attention to Charley McKeever's challenge and it looks as if the Australian was afraid of the Quaker lad's game. Horace Leeds has been heard from, however, and it Is likely that he and will be matched to fight to a finish for $2500 a side, and the largest purse offered. The failure of the professional event to fill has deferred the opening of the Golf tournament at the Country Club until to-morrow, when the scratch competition, onen to members of Associate and Allied" Clubs of the United States Golf Association, will be played.

"Parson" Daviess writes The Inquirer that John I. Sullivan is doing well on his farewell tour and that in deference to the wishes of some of tne old champion's Philadelphia friends he will arrange to give an entertainment In this city probably next month.

In reference to the pugilistic muddle in the South, Mr. Davies says: "This Fitzsimmons-Corbett business is killing all the other fights." "I preume they will have to get down to limited goes and do away with all these big purses before long if they want the game to prosper. Then, again, the waves of tolerance and suppression alternate from year to year. For a period the jjame is allowed to go on all right, and then for a year or two it is held down and either forced to abandonment or denied all scope except an occasional milk-and-water exhibition on the stage. I predict better times for boxers after this big contest is settled, -but so long as that is undecided just so long will there be trouble." H.

It was only a few days ago that this clerk had a little fun all to himself and it came to him rather unexpected. When Johnnie Johnson rode his last race in this city Darrah had his wheel on exhibition in the Arch street store. In order to more fully impress on the public thatlt was the machine the great and only Johnnie rode, he had a big card printed and hung it on the bicycle.

Since then this sign has been lying about- the store, until a few days ago someone found it and hung it on an old 1889 wheel. It was not long before two men walked into the place and began looking about. One of them soon spied the sign "This Is the wheel John S. Johnson will ride to-day." He called to his companion to come over and examine it. They lifted it.

The machine weighed about 63 pounds and one of them asked If it was not rather heavy for purposes, but the clerk only replied that that was the secret of speed, that when Johnson once got started on a wheel of that PRISCETO.X'S TEAM SCORED OX. The Theologians Pnt Vp aStiff Game Aa-ainMt the Tiger. PRINCETON, N. Oct. 16 (Special).

Princeton's football team was scored on to-day by the eleven of the Princeton Theological Seminary. This game was arranged as a make-shift after the Franklin and Marshall management had canceled their game here, and Captain Lea thought his team would have an easy time of it. Lea himself remained out of the game and Substitute Kelly was put in at full-back in Pope's place, and Substitute Dickey was at centre; otherwise the Tigers had their regular players. The game had progressed half through the first half without a score when the 'Varsity failing to gain, the ball was passed to Fulton for a kick at the Tigers' twenty-yard line. Fulton fumbled and Bryant had it in a twinkling and carried it to within three yards of the Tigers' line before being downed.

Then ensued a terrific struggle. The Theologians attacked the centre of the 'Varsity line savagely and on the fourth down Wood was shoved througji Dickey for a touchdown. All during these scrimmages Captain Lea stood back of his men, urging and exhorting them to throw the Seminoles back, but his exhortations could not stem the fierce attacks of the Theologians. The latter were in the lead during the entire first half, no further score being made. In the second half the Tigers took a brace, but were able to secure but two touchdowns, the ball being In their territory several times.

The final score was: Princeton, 10; Theologians, 4. The play of the Tigers was the poorest seen -here this season. The coaches feel very much chagrined that the clean record of the eleven has been wiped so early in the season and that by a third or fourth-class team. The line-up was as follows: Princeton.

It has been, customary for Pennsylvania to play their Virginia game on their Southern trip, but as that trip was abandoned for this year the Virginia team will come North for the game.

Last year they had a team third to none in the country, being one of the two college teams who scored on Pennsylvania. On Thanksgiving Day they defeated team from University of North Carolina, 34 to O. Their old players were slow to return this year so when they met Princeton in Baltimore last Wednesday they were beaten by points. Only one of the old players, Penton, their famous guard, was on the team. Mudd, Taylor and Bor-lingham, all of last year's team, have returned and so will be with the team next Saturday when they appear on Franklin Field.

Penton, their captain, is one of the best guards in the country. In speaking of him Wiley Woodruff. Pennsylvania's guard, says mat ne was tne Dest man that he ever faced. In the Princeton game last week he played all around Riggs of Princeton. Virginia has a pair of fast half-backs in Jones and Droner.

Poindexter, their, other guard, is very similar to Charlie Wharton, of Pennsylvania, both in size and in build. Nax-ton at quarter is playing an excellent game He is the champion gymnast of the South. Princeton defeated Virginia at Baltimore last Wednesday by the same score which Pennsylvania made against Lehigh in the first half last Monday. So that in comparing scores the game on Saturday next should be an interesting one for several reasons First, its being the first appearance of any Southern college team on the grid iron in this city. Secondly, that it will give the Philadelphia admirers of football a chance to get an idea of the strength of Princeton, allowing ir-ginia ten days for improvement in their stvle of play.

By the return of several of' their old players, Virginia should put up a much stronger game than she did against Princeton a week ago. The sale of tickets for the Princeton-j Lehigh football game at the Philadelphia Ball Park on Saturday will begin at Spalding's, 1216 Chestnut street, today. All the plays in the Princeton-Lehigh match at Philadelphia Ball PaH urday will be reproduced at Franklin Field where the Pennsylvania-Mrginia game' will take place at the same time.

LONDON, Oct. 10. J. Soper, the yacht designer, of Southampton, who has been selected to create Distant Shore the challenger for the America's cup had a conference yesterday with Charles D. Rose who issued the challenge and who will 'build the yacht.

Soper said to-dav that nothing had been fully determined regarding Distant Shore's lines or the time when work upon her will When shown the criticism of the Pall Mall Gazette of yesterday upon Mr. Rose and that newspaper's statement that he (Soper) was not the equal of George L. Watson as a yacht designer, the Southampton man remarked: "I am perfectly indifferent to newspaper comment upon my abilities, but no effort will be spared to make Mr. Rose's yacht a cup win- Scper was asked his opinion upon the conduct of Lord Dunraven during the cup races in America, but he declined to talk on the subject.
