Dr. Marshall honored the judge's stand. Cantonian and Eth-Bel are promising ones and will bear watching. Howard Collings represented Camden in the three-minute event. He drove Lucy C.

To-day's free-for-all should prove a splendid race. Saladin is among the noted performers entered. It was the impression that Vollman could have won hands down from Christmas Gift. But Christmas Gift has the long end of the argument; he won. The public would be more apt to appreciate harness racing if the events were pulled off with a bit more of electricity attached.

Just a trifle too slow. Some one told Starting Judge Wende roth that he had better give Jack Fogarty a show. He didn't see the point until it was explained. As a reinsmen Jack will do do do. Did any man who follows harness racing ever hear the winning driver complain? No matter how badly treated, if his animal's nose is in front, he forgets his pains, and lets the other fellow do the talking.

During the races Eth-Bel. driven by Whitehead, was sent out to beat 2.30, and went around easily in which is the animal's first mark. Eth-Bel has distinguished ancestors on his sire's side, he being by Lynn Bel. by Saint Bel. by Electioneer.

He is beautifully gaited. One of the distinguished visitors at the track was Colonel John G. Taylor, who owns Joe Patchen, 2.0414. The Colonel is here in the interest of Patchen and Star Pointer. Point Breeze made a play for the noted performers, but it is said that Belmont went 'em one better.

Colonel Taylor is thinking strongly of taking the pair and star them through Europe. It seems probable that they would make a big hit. The Colonel leaves for Baltimore this morning. Considered All Around, Princeton Is Decidedly More Pow-erful Than Harvard. THE CRIMSON RELENTS In Rf ply to Princeton Qnrry, Oallry Nor Ilairil Will lie Frotewted in To-day' Ciame.

How They Line From a Staff Correspondent. BOSTON. Nov. 0. The wolf has come down on the fold, this time in the shape of the Jersey user.

He is licking his chops to-night In anticipation of rare meal to-morrow. The Har- chop is very tempting. It has been devoured many a time before and our New Jersey friend remembers how succulent It was. It is not a pleasant anticipation for the Bostonian, but he "can't help looking truth in the face. Surely no big game ever before seemed that certain in advance to go one way and yet there are chances in football, as in any other game.

The Harvard players know the chances are against them, but the coachers say the players are not unnerved in the least and will "put in their heaviest lick? toLmorrow. They will die hard, if die they must. In the camp of Princeton all is joy, mental fireworks and eager anticipation of the morrow. The Tiger team, with about a dozen coachers. among whom were "Alfy" Baker, "Hiffv" Lea.

As they crossed over to New York on the Cortlandt street ferryboat and proceeded through the metropolis to the Centra! Depot the "Pla-Boom-A h-Princeton" and the big yellow chrysanthemums made them the admired all. After a hurried lunch at the Murray Hill a special train at was taken. The train arrived here at .1. ti bit the worse for wear, but still on the tracks.

Of course a few windows and seat's had been left t-e trn-k as the flyer hustled along the Shore Lire, but such little pleasantries end the pulling of the. bell cord by a in search of ice water are mere (trifips tn it college crowd. The Princeton rn at." once repaired to the Vendome "TiT-d the "rooters" scattered themselves around the other hotels and to-night are r'l-ing sedate Breton a correct imitation how a Jerscyman can put in a holiday. HARVARD GIVES JN. While at te Murray Hill Hotel the Princeton management received a telegram from the Harvard management tellinrr the Tigers to go ahead and plav 'earn.

This was in reriy to a T'rin'-oton telegram that the game would not be rtlayecl unless Gailev and Tiiird were allowed to line up. "Trulv a manly stnnd and one of which Princeton shoud feel proud. On the special Princeton train to-dav were two of the rreatest full-backs who nlayed. Bull. Yale's 'SS, and "Aleck" Moffat, Princeton's '84.

team to-morrow will not be as strong as usual, owing to injuries to the men. Cabot. F. Shaw and Donald will, not play at all. Wheeler and Wrightington will start in.

but it is not thought they can last long. There is practically no betting on the result. Before the Princeton men left for their camping ground, near the scene of battle, confidence reigned supreme among the rank and file, players, coaches, old graduates and undergraduates. Not a soul was able to see anything but a sure victory, and right now on the eve of the contest this dead sure feeling exists. The reasons for this great confidence are these; WHY THE TIGERS ARE STRONG.

First A team drilled to perfection in the science of team play. Second A line of forwards strong, intelligent and aggressive to the last Third A quarter-back reliable on the and brilliant In defense. Half-backs strong in line breaking and quick-witted, and sure in up their respective tackles when -opponents are directing an attack. Fifth A cool-headed full-back, dexter- ous with foot in kicking. A runner and player in a tight place and equal to the- occasion of catching a ball.

running it up. and then delivering a t- drive into the enemy's terri-' tory. The -writer has seen and studied the Tisrer- team, and knows in consequence that every one of these five cases are so, to the letter, none is overdrawn, exaggerated. Hence this spirit of confidence. On the other hand, overconfidence has lost' more than one game; and.

furthermore, there are lucky chances and un- foreseen circumstances to which a ma- 'Jorrty big football games are always and which are apt- to upset well- -JaM-plarrs-and the wisest Perhaps it may-prove of interest to enumerate a few. One is a muffed kick, -which a fast end may convert into a touchdown; another a double pass going wrong or into -an enemy's hand rather than the intended runner; still another, which by some lucky cireum- -works to a charm: then the wind rrYifht fn'- the- first half render the nec- -sarv assistance to perch victory upon "Vtnede-spiserl standard. There- is another element, partly luck, which may enter into a contest which depends for its success upon the sagacity of a team in picking out the weak point. The Tigers have one play In particular which is a sure ground gainer against a line lacking the proper aggressive spirit and that is their revolving mass on tackle, Once they secure the fOrma- tion nothing can stop it short of five "yards. On the contrary, with a fierce and well-directed assault at the moment the ball is snapped and which succeeds in penetrating the line before the runner has secured his proner place, hemmed in 'mates, a' failure to gain results.

HARVARD SUPERIOR AT CENTRE. Comparing now the two teams individually. Harvard is able alone to show 'superiority in the centre, while she may possibly even up matters on the end. At quarters, Beale is outclassed by Smith, while it depends altogether upon the manner in which line breakers bother Baird whether he stands forth in brilliant fashion compared with Brown or Dunlop at full-back. At half- back-so much depends upon the play of "the rsoective lines, tackle in.

particular, that it seems safe to predict Hhst-BaRnard- and Kelly. Wheeler or Rieter will in the aggregate gain the most inasmuch as Church and Hillebrand cannot be matched in their work on the defense. Now the kind of game which Princeton will play to-morrow will be one of many ki-ekfi, tries for goals whenever opportunity offers, running rrom double passes by Church. Smith and the backs, revolving masses or tackle when the ball Is -in Harvard's territory and well planned fake kicks. Such a combination is a strong one, and requires eternal vigilance for one thing.

Other things it requires already have been mentioned. A -Princeton kicks time and again, so 'will Harvard. A pretty game is therefore sure to result. Harvard to win has an awful contract on han. Princeton to win must necessarily show her strength to the full.

Leaving luck, chance and fluke plays out the account, Princeton's team, all in all. is a better one than Harvard's, and ought to win. The struggle will be a well-fought one. and with proper kicking bv Harvard the score at the close should be a small The probable line-up: Harvard. Positions.

Y. The Quaker Will Be Given a Lot of Anxiety Thla Afternoon. Yesterday at lunch time the training house squad were told that practice would take place out of town. So they packed up and caught the 2-o'elock train for Jenkintown. Arrived there, they were driven to the estate of Mr.

Frazer, and his lawn was turned into a practice field. Falling on the ball was again an emphatic feature of the preliminary. Signal practice was the order of the day. emphasis being laid on one or two tricks to surprise the Indians to-day. Coach Woodruff reiterated what each man should do in the interference of every play and the men back of the line were changed so as to better block offs when Pennsy kicks.

Every man had his turn at all the signals and plays. Week-, Dickson, Fortescue. Goodman and Coombs were tried at quarter; Gel-bert. Minds. Morice.

Jackson and Orbi-son, at half, and so on; so that to-day there will be no delays on account of not knowing the signals. At 7 the men returned home benefited by the change of scene and absence of criticising eyes. After dinner they all gathered in the training house parlors and listened to a football lecture by Coach Woodruff. Pennsylvania's line-up to-day will be as follows: Hedges, left end; Vffenheimer. left tackle; Woodruff, left guard; Overfield, centre; Wharton, right guard; Farrar, right tackle; Dickson, right end; Weeks quarter-back; Gelbert, left half-back; Morice, right half-back; Minds, fullback.

In case of Weeks' injury he will be substituted by Dickson. Fortescue, Goodman and Coombs in the above order. Weeks did well yesterday, and unless the responsibility unnerves him, will be power in the game. The 'Varsity and reserve football teams will have their pictures taken upon Houston Hall steps Monday, at Lo. The following scrub men will leave via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for Washington to-day at 8.15 A.

where they will play the Deaf and Dumb College eleven: Captain Outland, Wentz, Van Bleyk, Walker, Harrison, Hancock. Legget. Wheeler. Stevenson, Ambruster. Newton, Steams and "Jim," the rubber.

"SHm" Boyle is limping around the training house with one shoe on. He says he will be-in the State game next Saturday. Good luck to you. "Virginny," the team will miss you to-morrow. Bets of 1 to 2 on the 'Varsity victory found slow takers yesterday.

i i TIGERS CONFIDENT QF VICTORY Willing to net 2 to 1 That Harvard I Defeated The Culley-Baira Trouble. I Special to The Inquirer. PRINCETON. N. Nov.

6. The i Princeton football team was given a roy-i al send-off when they left here for Cam-I bridge this. morning at 0.08. About two hundred rooters accompanied the eleven considerable money was taken along wiiiL-ii iuey expect to put up at odds of 1 to 1 on Princeton. Before leaving today.

Captain Cochran said that only two members of the team are trained un IO Pint- These are Church and Hildebrand. The intention is to bring the men into the best condition in time for the Yale game on the 1'lst. For the Harvard game, the team is supplied with any quantity of nerve which they will certainly use to good account. The following 'Varsity players made up the list which left this morning together with ten additional substitutes: Cochran, Hildebrand, Armstrong Galley Crowdis, Church, Brokaw, Smith, Bannard, Kelly, Reiter, Wheeler Balra, Thompson, Tyler, N. Poe, Edwards, Booth, Lathrop.

Rosengarten was also taken along, but will not be able to play on account of his sprained ankle. All the students feel confident of victory and should Harvard chance to win, great indeed would be the disappointment in the Princeton camp. With regard to the statement which appeared this morning that Harvard would not be likely to arrange for any more football games in the future, owing to the controversy over Bailey and Baird. if anything should come betwreen Harvard and Princeton, it will undoubtedly originate at Cambridge. If Harvard should win to-morrow it would be proper enough for' her to break off the relationship, should she choose, but In case she should lose, such action would seem very small in her.

It is the opinion here that there is but little foundation for this story and it is to be hoped that such is the case, for there can be but little doubt that under the existing agreement the players in question are perfectly eligible to represent Old Nassau on the Athletic field. The Princeton idea of herself Is that she is to be regarded as an equal in intercollegiate alliances, and not simply to fit in temporarily to suit Harvard's schedule when she happens to be at outs with Yale. It is felt, however, that if Princeton wins to-morrow and against Yale November 2V, the problem of alliances and leagues will be solved at least so far as Princeton is concerned. At the same time it is true thatthe Il-feeling toward Pennsylvania is rapidly passing away, and the two universities may soon meet each other again in athletics. YALE AND BROWN TO-DAY The Bine Practices In a Listless Fashion, Fumbling Being; the Peatnre.

Special to The Inquirer. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 6. Yale hf.d an off day in practice this afternoon. Corbin came on from New York to coach, but even his presence was apparently no incentive to play.

Considerable fumbling was indulged in on both sides, but, the 'Varsity backs were especially blamable in this regard. It was the mcst discouraging work of the week. Conner was tried at left half again and did remarkably well considering it is his first experience in the position. He starts quickly, is strong and, as a bystander remarked, has enough sand in his small body to make a seashore. These are all the rudimentary requisites of a half-back, and an effort will be made to get him into shape so he could take a place behind the line if occasion should so demand.

The other half-bade position was filled by Mills, and as he was to be put in the game with Brown to-morrow it looks as though he would make the team as a regular. At present he is putting up a strong article of football. Provided he keeps in the right rut there is no fear of his being displaced. Bass will play end. but his place is far from settleci.

Consternation was aroused by a notice from the faculty announcing that Goodwin, the fleet-footed half-back, was behind in his studies and would be unable to represent the University until he had made up this deficiency. This leaves Mills and Van Every as the only backs, and in case of injury there is no one to take their place. The line-up for to-morrow's game with the Providence men will be: Bass, left end; Rodgers. left tackle; Murray; left guard; Chamberlain, centre; Chadwick, right guard; Murphy or Alport, right tackle; Hazen, right Finke, quarter-back; Conner, left half; Mills, right half; Hinkey, full-back. and M.

and Swarthmore To-day. LANCASTER. Nov. (Special). Swarthmore and Franklin and Marshall will play their annual game at Swarthmore to-morrow.

Swrthmore was an easy victim to Franklin and Marshall last year, but she has proved herself a fair equal. Franklin and Marshall will no doubt put a better team on the field and should but they will be at the disadvantage of playing away from home; therefore the score will be very close. The following men will line up for Franklin and Marshall: Left end, Schrieder; left tackle, Kiefer; left guard. Hower; centre. Ginter; right guard.

High; right tackle. Bertolet; right end. Greenawalt; left half-back, Cessna, captain; Tight half-back. Hosterman; quarter-back, Locher; full-back, Metzen-thin. Camden's Cri.ck Basket Bailers.

The Camden basket ball team has started practice at the Sixth Regiment Armory, and a large number of candidates are out, including many of last year's players, and the management expects to select the team by the 16th of the month, after which all the time will be devoted in' perfecting team work. The opening game will be with Temple College on December 5, the schedule being completed with the exception of the following dates: December if). January February 'JO and 27. March 20 and 27, and would like to hear from any first-class teams for the above mentioned dates. Five Strais-ht Draws.

The only record broken during the day was that of the sMDt put, Hawkes accomplishing 31 feet 6'-i inches.

HAVERFORD. Nov. 6 (Special). Carl Williams gave the footba41 team a blackboard drill in the theory of the game this afternoon before the regular field practice. The eleven did not line up against the scrub, as Captain Varney wished to give them only light work in preparation for to-morrow's game with Dickinson at Carlisle.

This will be the first game the 'Varsity has played for two weeks, and tne men are anxious ior the contest, though there is little hope of victory. Freeman is not yet back at guard, but expects to be able to play next week. Lowrv is nursing a sprained toe. and even if he starts to play to-morrow will probably not hold out throughout the game. Scattergood is trying to get his sorained ankle in condition for the Swarthmore game, on November 18.

With these men off the team, victory can scarcely be expected, from so strong an eleven as Dickinson. Carl Williams is-giving the men some much-needed coaching twice a week, but has not yet had time to effect any decided results. Owing to the manv disputes over such matters President Sharpless has requested that the officials of to-morrow's game both be Dickinson men. and Captain Varney has accordingly so arranged it. The line-up will be: Ends.

Hallett and Butler: tackles. Detwiler and Mc-Crea- guards. Else and Embree; centre. Swan; quarter-back, Varney. captain; half-backs, Wilson and Haines; fullback.

JACK BENNETTAGAIN VICTOR He Boxed Charley Woods, of Eng. land, in West Philadelphia; Last Last night the West Philadelphia Athletic Association inaugurated their fall and winter season of sports with a boxing show at their hall. Fifty-ninth and Market streets. the main feature of which was a six-round glove contest between Jack Bennett, undefeated light-weight, and Charley Woods, of England.

The bout was fast and hard throughout its six rounds duration. Bennett, who was in great form, cutting out a slashing pace. He could have bested his opponent at any stage of the game, but it was arranged otherwise, as Woods was several pounds lighter and was induced to meet Bennett at. very short notice. Jack Han-Ion, who had been engaged to box Bennett, leaving the hall while the latter was donning his fighting attire.

Woods made a clever showing and divided the applause with the star. Previous to the appearance of the main McGlinchey and Ladabaum, McCoy and McDermott. McGee and Murphy, Jimmy Edwards and Fritz Du-rolph, Bobby Taylor and Fred Iockyer and a host of others donned the mits, while the musical portion of the program added greatly to the enjoyment of the affair. Clark and Knox Box a Draw. ALTOONA, Nov.

(Special). An exciting boxing contest took place here to-night between Arthur Clark, a New York lightweight, and Charles Knox, a prominent colored pugilist of this city. Six rounds were fought, when the bout was declared a draw. Pour ounce gloves were. used and considerable money exchanged hands.

Knox was considerably lighter than Clark, but seemed to have the best of the fight. ELIOT IS A CANDIDATE Present Head of the L. A. W. Is in the Field for Re-election.

Special to The Inquirer. BOSTON.Nov. 6. President Eliot.of the L. A.

gave out a statement ta-night declaring a candidate for reelection to tht L. A. W. presidency for the reason that he has found it impossible to accomplish in one year all that he had hoped for, even though the growth in membership has been phenomenal. The gain for the pas: nine months says, is over 31.0(0 members and the gain in the treasury is over $13,000.

Mr. Eliot says his chief hobby is the establishment of a press bureau to agitate for good roads. SPORTING TALK CUT SHORT. The sixth monthly golf competition of the Philadelphia Country Club will be held at Bala to-day. A game of football will be played to-dav between Richmond and All Philadelphia at Richmond Park, this afternoon.

The freshmen of Central High School played the Powatan Monday and succeeded in defeating them by a score of 16 to 0. The Camden football team again outclassed Orange and won lo to O. MacGregor nd Gilbert scored for Eamden. the former running sixty yards through the entire Orange team for a touchdown. Reginald W.

Pressprich was chosen to captain the Columbia "VarBity crew for '97 ves-terday, at a meeting of the members held at the University. He has held the position of bow for the past two years. A match will be shot this afternoon at the Fountain Inn. Barren Hill, between Thomas Rowcroft and James Cowen. both of Mana-yunk, for $50 a side, at sparrows, 21 yards rise, 40 fall.

Use of one barrel, beat use of gun. Among amateur football circles a great amount of interest is centered in to-day's game at Stenton Field. Wayne Junction between the Wizbet and the United A. A. Both teams are unusually stroma this "vear and have made excellent records for themselves.

Danny Needham, the California light-weight, who was Tom Sharkey's second and handler on the night that Sharkey boxed Corbett in San Francisco, has been matched to meet Young Corbett. of San Francisco for eight rounds at catch-weights, in one ot the athletic clubs in San Francisco on November 20. Sollle Smith, of Australia, and Willie Smith, the feather-weight champion of England, are both in excellent condition for their twenty-round contest, which is to be pulled oft in the National Sporting Club, of London. Monday night. According to a letter received by-Johnny Mack from Solly Smith, the latter says he never before felt in better condition than he does at present, and expects to win.

To-day the football team of the Institute for the Deaf will line up against the Ursinus College team. As these teams have already played a. game this season which resulted in a tie, a very close and interesting struggle may be expected. This will be the most important game of the season at Mount Airy and' has been arranged especially for those who wish to se the deaf plajr avsainat a trons team. TheTwo Annual Games Between the Colleges Will Not Be Played This Year.

DAVIS IS AT-CAMBRIDGE Will Try for a Came With Harvard or Yale nnd May Play the Indians Barclay as a 'on- Professional. Special to The Inquirer. EASTON, Nov. 6. Professor F.

A. March, in an interview this evening, said: "The football games to be played between Lafayette and Lehigh are off. Lehigh has refused to play if Lafayette plays Barclay, and Lafayette, though confident of an easy victory without him, will stand by her crack player and Captain." Matters came to a head on Wednesday night. A' committee from Lehigh ccmposed of Professor Robinson. Colonel W.

A. Wilbur and Mr. G. B. Linderman, met a Lafayette committee, consisting of H.

J. Reeder, of the Superior Court; Professor P. A. March, John Maxwell and District Attorney James W. Fox, and discussed the recent protests interchanged between the Athletic Associations against White and Carman, of Lehigh, and Walbridge, Bray and Barclay, of Lafayette.

All of the protested players were admitted to be bona fide students of the two institutions and the charges all related to the alleged connection of them with summer base ball clubs during the season of 18SH5. CHARGES ARE UNFOUNDED. The charges against Walbridge, Bray and Carman, it was agreed, w-ere unfounded; the case against White, who played upon the Demorest professional team last summer, was dismissed as insufficiently supported. In the case of Barclay evidence was submitted that he had received money from the treasury of the Chambersburg base ball club last June. Barclay presented as evidence In rebuttal, a statement that before the Lsfay-ette-Lehigh agreement was made he had signed a contract to play base ball at Chambersburg for a salary; that he had been informed by Professor March that if he played for money he would be ineligible to play upon the Lafayette teams: that he then asked for his release from Chambersburg, which he was refused: that being threatened with a lawsuit, he, acting upon the advice of Professor March, w-ent to' Chambersburg and there repudiated the contract, but agreed to play for a time for expenses only, which is permitted under the Lafayette-Lehigh agreement; that from time to time submitted statement of his expenses and received money -therefor.

This statement was indorsed by Professor March and confirmed by a telegram from the -manager of the Chambersburg Barclay also submitted a list of expenses at Chambersburg. which amounted to a greater sum than it was shown he received. The Lafayette Athletic Committee accepted these statements as a satisfactory explanation of the evidence produced by Lehigh, declined to sustain the challenge and so informed the Lehigh committee. LEHIGH DECLARES GAMES OFF. To-day a letter was received from Lehigh, declaring the games off.

This was no surprise to Lafayette as information had been received immediately after the Pennsylvania game that Lehigh would endeavor to avoid a game with Lafayette this year. Lehigh's poor showing against other teams has taken away much of the interest usually manifested in the annual Lehigh-Lafayette contests and but little regret is shown at Lafayette at the loss of these games except that the friendly relations of the two institutions should have been interrupted upon so slight a pretext. EASTONIANS ARE BLOOMING. Since the two games have been declared off with Lehigh, Lafayette has two open dates which will be filled very likely with Harvard or Yale. For that purpose Coach Davis went- to Boston this morning to arrange, if possible, a game with Harvard.

The management of the Manhattan field has telegraphed requesting Lafayette to play the Indians in New York. This game is now before the Athletic Advisory Board and may be played in view of the circumstances that have arisen. GERMANTOWN THE WINNER Defeats Delaneey and "Will Meet Cheltenham Xext Week.

The De Lancey School team met defeat yesterday afternoon in a very one-sided and stubbornly contested game by the Cheltenham Military Academy by the score of 28-0. The ball was never nearer Cheltenham's goal than the twenty-five-yard line. Boyd's fine line bucklnp and Clay's excellent tackling were the features of the game.

Smith's Horse Fine Finishes in the 2.25 Trot and 2.23 Pace Today's Program. Every element conducive to the best class of harness sport wore its brightest hues at Point Breeze track yesterday afternoon. As a result the card set for Thursday; and postponed by the all-necessary rain, was enjoyed by a crowd numbering- probably five hundred horsemen. The only drawback was slowness with which the heats were eajied, necessitating the finish of the and 3 minute trots this afternoon. The Happiness-New York Central race for records was held over.

The fourth heat of the 2.23 trot was finished in the dark. To lecal reinsmen the most entertaining event of the day was the race for the three minute mark, and a closer struggle on the same order has seldom been seen at either of the tracks in Philadelphia. Nine horses started and amateur drivers were up. M. M.

Smith's Smike took first honors, making the two heats in S.rii)1. Smike was timed to a second in the first heat. Cort Horr seldom misses a slice of a good thing and his black mare Witlo-nene took second place, just one-quarter second below Smike's time. J. Kane's Billy H.

gave a scientific exhibition and landed his two heats in 0.01. The prizes to Mr. Smith and Mr. Horr were blankets, while Mr. Kane took the whip.

CHRISTMAS GIFT WINS. Christmas Gift was just about what the doctor ordered in the 2.25 pace. and walked away with the purse in straight heats. But he knew he had been in a race. Vollman was hot on his trail and gave him a royal battle in the first heat, and quite a struggle in the third.

In the first heat Turner found it necessary to use the whip at the finish. Vollman took it easy. The most spirited finish was in the last heat. Fifty yards from the wire, Christmas Gift. Vollman and Gilkey were about a whisker apart.

The first named went up under the whip, but Turner got him on his feet again, and landed the heat by slightly more than a head. It might be said just here that Gil-key gives promise of being a rare performer and should travel with success in fast company next year. Under Duddleson's excellent driving he took third money and would have made second had he not become pocketed in the last heat 130 yards down the stretch. 2.25 TROT FURNISHES SPORT. The 2.25 trot brought out some very clever performers and five out of the eight entries scored.

This- turned out to. be the star affair of the. day and when the electric lights around the coun try Began to send out their Drigntness and the judges had cried "enough" for the day, four heats had been trotted. L. D.

had two on the credit side of his ledger, while Lady Euclid and American Wonder had each taken one in good style. This event will be called at half-past 12 to-day, and should prove a horse race. The first heat went to American Wonder in impressive style, covering the stretch In fast time. The second heat proved a decided surprise and Lady Euclid's success was due mainly to bad breaks about the half-mile mark by both American Wonder and L. D.

The third heat was what might be termed a "hoss race." The animals kept well together, with the exception of American, which had run for some distance through the stretch. Here the latter came up and. with Lady Euclid and L. made a distinguished finish. L.

D. got the verdict by less than half a length, with Lady Euclid second. American Wonder was placed fifth for "sprinting." Toy Medium, driven by Harvey Ernst, being given third place. The fourth heat was an excellent exhibition of good harness racing, but could scarcely be appreciated, owing to the fact that the sun had dodged behind the Schuylkill. The finish was hot.

Ivy Medium. L. D. and American Wonder finishing almost heads apart. L.

D. was given the verdict, with Ivy Medium second. American Wonder tried to get ahead of time again in this heat and the judges set him back once more to fifth place. AMATEURS IN FULL SWING. Only one heat of the 3-minute mixed class was This race was for amateur drivers exclusively, and it might be well to say just here that "Jack" Fogarty will do.

Jack is favorably known as a "fistic phenom" and "hoss racing" is somewhat of a novelty to him. When they scored for the first heat Jack looked the picture of contentment and not even that veteran John Turner, who took things in from the stand, was ever more steady. Jack's horse, Dan. didn't finish first, but he has three guesses, and -the animal is all right. Jack handled the reins in that same artistic manner with which he did his fists in the past.

Is Kaufman's 4-year-old. Cantonian, by Stamgraves. by Stamboul, out of an Electioneer mare, won the heat all the way. Cantonian is a splendid gaited animal and evoked the applause of the spectators. He'll just about do.

He made the mile in 2.32V4. To-day's card is lengthy with the 2.25 trot and 3-minute classes to be concluded. The free-for-all will be the treat of the year.

He Lands Five Out of Six Mounts First by the Winning Post. TELEGRAPH WIRE OUT Hereafter Xo Information HcKHril-inR Iron Hill Races Will Be Transmitted to the Pool Rooms in This City ana Camden. There was no lack of -incidents at Iron Hill yesterday. Chick Xeel had six mounts and landed five of them winners. In the fifth race there was a tumble, Somage, with Neary up, fall- ing and Imp.

Velvet Rose, with J. Moore up, going down over him. Somage was instantly killed, and Jockey Neary was severely injured. Imp. Velvet Rose escaped injury, but Jockey Moore had his collar Done broken.

Jockey Neel on Whippany jumped over the body of Somage and succeed ed in winning the race. The accident was caused by a bad spot, which the recent rains had developed. Favorites and second choices won the races, the book makers having the worst of the argument. The association yesterday decided to cut out the wires of tne Western Union Telegraph Company. This will prevent any play on tne Iron Hill races in pool rooms of this city or Camden.

Inquirendo opened favorite at to for the first race, at five furlongs, but receded to threes. Bella G. closed the choice at twos, backed from threes, while Mario was well supported at 11 to "Chick" Neel, as usual, beat the flag with Bella and making all the running, won, driving, by a length, from Inquirendo, which beat Mario a length, the latter a head before Cassie Neel. After betting had begun on the 2-year-old race, at four and a half fur- longs. Tim Hurst was scratched on account of lameness, and new banking ordered.

Governor Griggs was the favorite at 11 to 2. backed from 7 to 10. Conspirator was played from four to threes. Cakewalk vas the only other to receive support, the filly going from fours to sixes. The favorite led into the stretch, but tired, and in a drive Conspirator won by a neck from Cakewalk, with Governor Griggs third, a half length away.

The third race, at six and a half furlongs, was a good betting affair. Lady Richmond closed favorite at to 2. with Gold Dollar, Juliet, Etesian and Knight of Honor all well backed. Neel broke fifth with gold dollar, and the latter opened up a big gap, winning at the end easily by three lengths. Lady Richmond, despite several stumbles, came at the end and finished second, eight lengths before Knight of Honor.

Betting was lively on the fourth race, at six furlongs. His Grace was the public choice, backed from 0 to to 4 to 5, while Finnwater was second choice at fours. Buccaneer was played from twos to sixes, while Canadian and Milwaukee had a following. Finn-water had the best of only a fair start, and was their leader throughout, winning easily by three lengths, while Pulitzer wes tecond, a length before Canadian, which beat His Grace a head. Whippany looked to outclass his field in the fifth race, at four and a half furlongs, but as good as 4 to was always obtainable.

Poor Jonathan was backed from fours to threes, while Startling, the third choice, -went from fours to sevens. The favorite won, but only after an exciting incident. Somage was leading, when she fell, breaking her neck. Neel was laying second with Whippany when the accident occurred, and the latter jumped the obstruction in safety, winning in a drive by a half length from Gypsey, which beat Poor Jonathan a head. Imported Velvet Rose stumbled and threw J.

Moore. The last race of the day was at six furlongs, with Marie Lovell the favorite at 6 to 5, after opening at to 2. McKinley was backed from fives fo to r. closing a strong second choice. Schuylkill was third in favor at threes.

Marie Lovell was the leader from start to finish, winning in a gallop by four lengths from Schuylkill, which was ten lengths before Claurece. Summaries: First Ra-e Five-eighths of a mile. Rella 1o (Neel). to 1. won: Inquirendo.

The specials to-day will leave at the usual time 12.33 and 1. 20. Beginning on Monday, however, they will go iit 12 33 and 12.50. This short correction is made necessary to land passengers at the track in time to play all the races and to insure their speedy return to the city. Chick Neel was certainly in form yes-teVday.

Now watch the lay public backing his mounts. The action of the association in cutting out the W. IT. wires was justifiable. Pool rooms in this city and Camden have been using the Iron Hill races without giving up a cent for the information and keeping away a lot of play from the track.

They have reaped nothing but profits at the expense ot the association. The money that has heretofore been played in the local and Camden pool rooms will go to the track and will necessarily increase the number of legitimate bookkeepers who pay for the privilege.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 6. The world record-breaking team now in camp in this city at the quarter mile track reduced the unpaced mile triplet record of 1.50, made by O'Connor, Clark and Bainbirdge at Kalamazoo. July last, one second.

My Lord I have the honor to bring under your lordship's notice, in the event that.lt may prove useful to Her Majesty's War Office, the great powers of endurance and strength in lifting heavy loads and transporting them to long distances in this tropical climate possessed by the West African negroes in these parts, which personal observation and conversation with them and West African traders who visit this port enables me to attribute to the free use of the sterculia bean, which I learn is now being introduced into lbs French army after research, study and x-periments made at Marseilles by Dr. Heckle, professor of science of the Medical Academy there. The West Indian carriers at this port, who use sterculia and carry the bean wrapped in banana about their person, are. as a whole, not, physically speaking, superior men to the Brazilian negro, and yet the African, through constantly masticating sterculia, can endure labor and fatigue which the Brazilian carrier cannot withstand. These beans, which are not intoxicating and in no way injurious, act as a nutritive, quench thirst anl produce vigor end freshness.

The Introduction to civilization of the ster culia fruit in a practical form is clue to the efforts of the Brunswick Pharmacal Company, of William street. New York, whose experiments in the tropical home of the tre-s, covering a period of several years, have been frequently referred to by the press throughout the country. It strengthens and reg'ilates the action of the heart, deepens the breathing, restrains the waste of tissue and nerve force undpp unusual exertion, and develops a degree of physical and psychical power which surprises all who experience or witness it.

Fashionable New York is preparing for the opening of the social season, which comes with the twelfth annual horse show on Monday.

About one-half of the local horses that are entered are now being exhibited at Orange and are not expected to arrive before Sunday. Prince Louis of Savoy will be the individual with the greatest title to attend the norse show.

Whether society will be much enthused over him remains to be proved. He will be attended by some well-informed and titled officers from the man-of-war. Lady Pauncefote and her daugthers. the Misses Pauncefote: Mr. and Mrs.
