Chicago's maroon banner for '99, still un-tullied by defeat, waves triumphantly over Marshall field. Yesterday Cornell's eleven football players, confident of victory, tasted the bitterness of defeat for the first time this season. The Easterners scored, but that was all they could do, and when the 6,000 spectators who had cheered themselves hoarse during the contest left the grounds at the conclusion of the game they felt satisfied of the home team's superiority, for Cornell had been beaten 17 to 6. At almost every point Chicago outplayed the Ithaca ns. In punting alone Captain Star-buck's men showed more ability than the ma.

roon On defense the teams were Well matched, but in aggressive work the Chicago ant had much the better of the game. The contest was a triumph of the West over the East; a demonstration of the effectiveness of the style of football played In this section of the country, against the Eastern game; a reiteration of the printed statements that Chicago plays a higher type of football than most Eastern elevens. Fortunately the cold wave came in time to make the weather suitable for football, and the opposing teams played with snap and ginger. What wind there was came from the north, bat it was not strong enough to seriously in- Jfclj MCKlNLEr lays a Corner Stome vimF Ml A wirRlT rfl 'wAi terfere with the kicking. Long before 2 o'clock the big stands on either side of the clean-looking gridiron began to fill with people.

College, men Haunting the colors of the contesting elevens, young women with dark maroon banners or knots of bright red and white ribbons, and deep-voiced "--oot-efs," prepared to strain their throats for the rival elevens, crowded and Jostled each other good natnredly in their efforts to find teats. A section of the stand on the west side of the Held had been reserved for members of Cornell's alumni, and long before the opening kick-off this portion of the bleacher was ablaxe with the Corneinans" colors. In the stand along the opposite side line the Chicago students massed. In the center was the "varsity band, which, from time to time, crashed out marches and well-known airs, to which the collegians sang new words In eulogy of their alma mater, Great Day fer C'hlraso. From early in the afternoon until time was called at the: end of the last it was a Chicago day.

Before the big game, the scrub eleven, for the first time In Its hittory, admln- Istered a defeat to the Morgan Park academy team, winning from the sturdy preparatory school boys by a score of 5 to 0. However, despite the fact that the 'varsity representatives won, little enthusiasm, compared to that 'aroused in the second contest, was brought out by the victory. Every spectator was keyed up to a point of intense Interest in what the big fellows would do, and the scrubs were almost Ignored. Precisely at o'clock the Cornell players entered the field at the northwest corner of the gridiron, and formed a circle, passing the ball rapidly from one to another. Their appearance was greeted with a burst of applause; the sharp, yelping cheer, with something like a note of defiance.

In It, of tbe Cornell men rolled acros the field ominously, and was echoed back again by the gray stone 'varsity buildings. Probably there was not a Cornell man on the ground who doubted the ability of the eleven he shouted for to snatch victory from the Westerners. Shortly after Cornell had begun to warm cp. and before tbe first cheers had begun to die away, Hamlll, followed by the Chicago men, trotted' out upon the gridiron from the southeast corner. Instantly a cheer went up from the maroon supporter that drowned the Ithacan yells.

The band plunged Into a blaring march, while megaphone and tin horns added to the already deafening noise. Tbe 'varsity men lined up Immediately and began spirited signal practice. Afters few minutes of preliminary work, the captains of the teams met In the center of the field to decide who should have the ball. Cornell won the toss, and chose the north goal, with the wind at her back. At nine minutes after Fell, the Chicago kicked off.

and the game between the East and the West waa on. The pigskin sailed through the air to the' (Continued on Tenth rage.) AGE DOES NOT WITHER THEM. Ratberford Ceeaty, Xerth Carollaa, la Soled far Frisky -Old Peaslc. Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. CHERRY MOUNTAIN.

Rutherford has more extraordinarily old people In her borders than' any county in the South, and they are all well preserved and In excellent health. "Granny" Holllfied, who lives near Ellen-boro. Is one of the most remarkable of then specimens. She Is 118 years old. Jesse Wells, who lives at Puzzle) Creek, is 94 years old, and looks thirty years younger.

He is a fervent Baptist and never loses an opportunity to vot the Democratic ticket. One of bis most intimate friends, Benjamin Biggerstaif. Is 92 years old, and owns the same religious and political affiliations as Wells. They possess remarkable vigor and clearness of mind. One of the most striking figures in this cottiieof old-young people is Sheriff Andrew Long, "who is 91 years old.

Me rides wild bronchos, plows the entire season, and copes with the most desperate criminals that North Carolina produces. On many occasions he has defeated younger aad more vigorous men who had the temerity to oppose him for sheriff. Next come John and Preston Long, relatives of the doughty sheriff, aged respectively 89 and 90. William Wade, aged 90, a citizen of Duncan Creek, has plowed every summer until this last, and works at the blacksmith trade. His sight and hearing are unimpaired, and he Is the only exception In the political tendencies of the colony, being a Republican.

Then there is a "Grandma" Lisk. who lives near Cherry Mountain, and is just an even hundred years of age. She walks two miles to church every Sunday, takes in washing for a living, smokes a clay pipe, and enjoys full possession of all her faculties. There la "Aunt" Nancy Phil-beck, aged 86, and Andy Crowder and bis wife Sally, each aged 87. Andy is a redoubtable Nimrod, and his home is filled with trophies of his prowess.

Probably no other section of the United States has so remarkable a record. OUT OF QUARANTINE TODAY. Tbtrt First RrilMr.l Sails for Ma-alla This Week. Special Dtxputch to The Inter Ocean. SAN FKANCISCO.

Sword Presented. Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. BOSTON, Oct. 14. The official entertainment of Admiral Dewey in Boston came to an end with the dinner this evening after a day crowded with events.

What the Admiral thinks of his reception here Is best expressed in his own words In his speech accepting the gift from Mayor Qulncy this morning, when he said he did not believe any living man had ever received such an ovation before. The weather was perfect and very warm for the middle of October. The procession passed through four miles of streets, the sidewalks In which were literally Jammed with people, every window with Its quota of faces, and most of the roofs, especially In the downtown districts and the vicinity of the state house, bearing their burden of people. The Admiral arose at about o'clock this, morning after a good night's sleep and breakfasted with his son George, Lieutenant Brumby, and R- T. McKlever, and then he received state and city officials and authorized committees.

Mayor Qulncy and the city council committee called at about 9 o'clock.

Carriages were taken and with the municipal officers In the party escorted by cavalry the Admiral was driven to the common. There were 25.000 Bostoa school children massed upon the rising ground by the monument, and accompanied by the municipal band they sang "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner." The Admiral stood in his carriage with bared head, and he was almost affected to tears.

From the common the Admiral was driven directly to the city hall, where he was presented with a gold watch by Mayor Qulncy. The Admiral, the mayor, and a few city officials mounted a small stand erected for the purpose In the city hall yard. The Handel and Haydn society sang "See, the Conquer Ing Hero Comes." Tbe mayor then began quite a long presentation speech, which waa interrupted at one time by vigorous applause, led by the Admiral, the words that called forth the demonstration being: "When peace' is restored, when -the wise and statesmanlike counsels associated with your own name again assert themselves, we may be cure tha the Filipino, who accepted you as their friend and have never learned to regard you as their enemy, will be given the fullest liberty which they are capable of enjoying." The mayor finished at precisely 10:56 o'clock, at that moment presenting the watch in a silver tray to the Admiral. Admiral Dewey's Speech. The Admiral rose, removed bis chapcau.

and, addressing Mayor Qulncy, accepted the watch as follows: "Mr. Mayor. I wish to thank you for your kind and complimentary remarks. I wish also to thank you and the citizen of this city for this present, for Its freedom, and for this grand ovation, the like of which I think no living man has ever seen. That ovation which was given me last night.

I believe, has never been equaled within the lifetime of any of us at all events, I never saw the equal of it. I thank you very much indeed." The watch cost about $800.
