EBdmoad, F. Heartily Greeted by Mayor and City Government. Mutual Assurances of Respect and Pleasure. Gen P. A.

Collins a Special Gaest at the Function. Boston entertained most heartily last night the lord mayor of Dublin, Rt Hon Daniel Tallon. and the brilliant member of parliament for Waterford, Mr John E. Redmond. An elaborate banquet, tendered by both branches of the city government, in conjunction with his honor Mayor Quincy, was given the distinguished visitors at hotel Bellevue.

Nearly 60 gentlemen sat down to dinner at 7.30. The tables were laden with floral decorations, arranged in the most artistic style. From the balcony overlooking the dining room an orchestra dispensed the charm which music only can lend to a gathering. The dinner formed the principal portion of the program arranged by the city for the entertainment of the visitors yesterday, and was set for last evening, so as not to Interfere with any plans which the lord mayor and Mr Redmond may have for the middle of the coming week. They are to pay a visit on Monday evening to the John Boyle OReilly literary association of Newton, at which His Honor Mayor- Wilson of Newton will preside, and the distinguished visitors will meet a number of the sterling representatives of their race in the garden city and adjoining places.

The dinner of (ast night was confined to the members of the city government committee, consisting of five members of the board of aldermen and seven members of the common council, the reception committee of Parnell monument association and such guests as the visitors from Ireland desired to Invite. Notwithstanding the generous privilege accorded by the city, which woiitl have permitted the Inviting of five guests by the lord mayor. It was not exercised. The chief magistrate of Dublin said he had arrived so recently In Boston and was so overwhelmed with the kindness with which he and Mr Redmond had been received that he felt he could not do better than leave it to the discretion of the Parnell monument committee whether to act on the generous freedom accorded him by the dty of Boston, or simply accept the courtesies tendered himself and Mr Redmond. The committee of the Parnell monument association, acting In harmony with the idea that the interests of the Parnell monument were paramount to any other consideration, felt that It was wiser to confine the banquet to those specifically invited.

The editors of the Boston newspapers, therefore, with the members of the city government and Parnell monument committees, were invited to participate in the honor accorded the lord mayor of Dublin and Mr Redmond by the city of Boston. Gen P. A. Collins, as the guest of His Honor Mayor Quincy, occupied a seat at the bead table, close to the 'lord mayor of Dublin. When Gen Collins, as head of the American land league several years ago, represented the policy of Parnell In America, he was voted the freedom of the city of Dublin, and therefore his honor Invited him to be a guest at the banquet.

Gen Collins greeting of the lord mayor was very hearty. He also expressed his delight at seeing Mr Redmond In Boston. In the old days, when ParneU was at the head of the Irish people, they had met frequently, but the meeting of last night between Mr Redmond and Gen Colllna was the first In seven years. Seated at the head table as presiding officer was his honor Mayor Quincy. On his right sat the lord mayor of Dublin, and at his Immediate left Mr Redmond.

The other gentlemen at the head table were Congressman Henry Na-phen, Congressman John F. Fitzgerald, Hon E. J. Slattery, state president A. O.

H-; Mr P. J. Flatley, chairman of the Parnell monument association of Boston, Alderman David Pres Daniel F. Kiley of the common council, Alderman Day and John OCallaghan. The other gentlemen present were Councilman Thomas J.

Collins, James H. Stone, Donald N. MacDonald, William Martin, David W. Simpson, George A. Flynn and Frank E.

Wells of the city government committee, and John J. Tee-vens, Col Roger F. Scanneil, M. H. Cox, Bergtn.

Dr Thomas J. Dillon, Terence Cavanagh, Patrick Collins, William Doogue, Col Thomas F. Doherty, Martin J. Roche of the Parnell monument association and Hon John E. Fitzgerald of New Tork.

The menu was of a most elaborate character, the frontispiece being In the form of a shamrock, on the representation of eaeh leaf being an excellent portrait of the leading figures of the occasion, his honor Mayor Quincy, as host, and Lord Mayor Tallon and Mr Redmond. The design wa very pretty, fa addition each of the gentlemen present wore a badge of green silk with a dial-shaped plate bearing on one side a picture of the lord mayor of Dublin, and on the other Mr Redmond, both excellent likenesses. When the dinner had concluded His Honor Mayor Qumey rapped to order and announced that the speaking was to be confined to the two guests of the evening. Addressing the lord mayor and Mr Redmond, Mayor Quincy expressed the delight It gave him to welcome them both to the city Boston. He said it was an event for the city of Boston to -entertain such a distinguished guest as the lord mayor of Dublin, the representative of one of the oldest municipalities of the old world.

In com pa risen with which Boston, although Oh of the oldest of the new world, was comparatively a municipal infant. He expressed the pleasure it gave him, as chief magistrate of Boston, to extend the hospitality voted by th city to the lord mayor of Dublin and Mr Redmond. His honor said although under our democratic institutions the ceremony of conferring the freedom of the city did not carry witu it oeh elaborate ceremonies as in the old world, nevertheless the city of Boston opened it arms wide Caatlnaed a the Fifth Page.

Oct 27 For the first time in the history of the game of football Yale has been defeated by a team other than her historic rivals.

Harvard and Princeton. Harvard haB in 30 odd years beaten Yale twice and tied her once. Princeton has beaten her five or six times. The result of todays game has made a revolution in the football world. Yale was clearly outplayed.

Columbia won by a score of 5 to 0. Columbias ofTenue was hard ani showed beautiful team work. The backs ran low and rushed each other over the line when they were unable to gain through. Columbias line at times tore Yale into shreds and it was only McBrides punting that saved Yale somewhat a worse defeat. The Yale team played a poorer game than was expected of her.

Columbia, on the other hand, was conceded to have a strong eleven, and they went fully up to what was expected of them. Yales defense was weak, compared with what it has been the past week. Yale made a great mistake in not putting in Richards at halfback sooner. Richards might not have reoeated his 75-yard run made In the Wisconsin game, but he would have played better than Adams, who was injure Columbia showed excellent training. Not a man left the game from start to finish Yales sandy boys have no exciise.

The simply met their superiors In strength, condition and football skill. It wasnt that the Yale team has gone back, or that It is a weak aggregation, Columbias men beat if ale at her own specialty, and put up a fast, snappy game that overwhelmed the visitors from New Haven, The victory virtually makes Columbia a member of the "big four." Nine thousand men and women saw the battle. It was brilliant from the beginning to the last moment, crowded with incidents that wilt live in football history. Six thousand spectators had a free view of the proceedings from the viaduct and the rocks of Dead Head hill. They Joined the rooters In the stand and bleachers in frantic yelling.

There is a sad story to tell, too. If the old Yale spirit prevailed today Columbia would not have had the services of George Foster Sanford, the coach, who, all alone, has taken a lot of raw giants and worked them into one of tha best teams in the country, Banford was playing football for Yale oqly a few years ago. He might have been one of Yales coaches this day, but the wise men of New Haven would have none of him. Probably even he ts surprised at the completeness of his triumph. Yale has seven very able coaches.

Columbia has Sanford. The rest of the sad story is comprised in these words and figures: Yale 0, Columbia 5. The Game in Detail. promptly at 2.30 the referee blew his whistle and Columbia, with the west goal at her back, sent the pigskin twirling down the field. It was sent out of bounds on purpose, and the same trick was repeated to the astonishment of the Yale team.

The ball went to Yale at the center of the field- Columbia evidently decided it was better to have chance at a squirming run down the field on a kick than to give it to her opponents, t'unha.

Harvard defeated Carlisle 23 to 10 yesterday at soldiers field, where 13,000 persons witnessed the hardest, fiercest and, at times, the weirdest exhibition of Rugby football that ever was played on Harvard9 arena. From a spectators point of view the game was a combination of everything that makes football the grandest of college garnet. Carlisle's touchdown, made before Harvard had fairly caught its breath after the rush down the field with the kickoff, and pn a most sensational play. In which the Carlisle giant guardsman Redwater romped 60 yards down the field with the shiny pigskin under his arm for a touchdown, started the excitement. Harvard then tied the score by hard, consistent line bucking and end running, and then before the half expired seemingly clinched the game, Ellis blocking one of Miller's unprotected punts and giving Harvard the ball within striking distance of the Carlisle goal line.

Following came a second half even more rife with football pyrotechnics. Soon after the kickoff, with the score 11 to In Its favor. Harvard gained five points mai when Burnett, after one unsuccessful trial, duplicated his performance of the 68 Pennsylvania game and dropped the ball over and between Carlisles goal posts. Hallowed holding the ball on Carlisles 40-yard line for a place kick, Charlie Daly having heeled down one of Millers punts. The ball would have gone over the bar if kicked from beyond the middle of the field.

Then followed another series of hard offensive plays, In which Harvard forced the Indians back farther and farther until Kendall was finally sent through for Harvard's third and last touchdown. Hudson Drops a GoaL This, seemed to settle the game, but ihe play that was to bring the thousands of spectators to their feet had not come. Throughout the game Hudson. Carlisles little quarterback, had played harder even than the rest, running and diving everywhere, tackling and interfering, keeping always with the ball, but not until the half was nearly over did Hudson accomplish what was expected of him by almost every witness of this battle on the gridiron. The ball had been rushed steadily through Harvards tackles until only four chalk lines were between the swaying mass of players and Harvard's goal.

Carlisle seemed certain to cross the line again and thus serve Harvard as it served Penney two weeks ago, but here Harvards line was brazed. Three times was the ball held from advance, and five yards were needed for Carlisle to bold the balL The cheering ceased as tha men disentangled themselves from the scrimmage, and as they lined up Hudson trotted slowly back. Quick as lightning Smith sent him the ball Hudson caught It. shifted it in his hands, and Uien, dropping it to the ground, struck the ball squarely with hU boot and sent it twisting and turning between the goal posts. There were no false notes in the uproar that followed this feat, now so commonplace for Hudson.

Harvards own eleven never was more heartily applauded than the little fellow who bad given Carlisle Us second score. Csstiased oa tha Couth Faff. Com George Hamilton Perkins, retired, died at his home, 123 Commonwealth av, last night. He was stricken with a fainting spell and heart failure while driving on Wednesday afternoon, and although every effort of medical skill was resorted to, he alternately failed and rallied until 8 last night, when the end came. Com Perkins, who was (3 years of age last Saturday, retired from the navy as a captain In October, 1891.

In 1896. five years later, congress by special act, promoted him to the flag rank of commodore In recognition of his heroic service with Farragut at New Orleans and Mobile bay. Lieut Perkins and Capt Bailey walked through the mob at New Orleans to receive the surrender of tha city. Two years later, while under orders to proceed north, as a lieutenant commander he won the published gratitude of Admiral Farragut by volunteering to remain for the battle of Mobile bay. He was In command of the Ironclad Chickasaw and won an undying place In his countrys history by capturing, unaided, practically, the formidable rebel ram Tennessee, which was expected to have whipped Farragut's entire fleet.

Com Perkins, w-ho has lived in Boston since his retirement, was present at the banquet to Admiral Dewey at the Algonquin club a fortnight ago, and was the merriest of the gathering. It was he whom Admiral Dewey insisted should speak. In addition to Gov Wolcott and himself, and he made a witty reply. Mrs Perkins, who was the daughter of the late William F. Weld, the famous Boston shipowner and merchant, and a daughter, Mrs Larz Anderson, survive him and were at his bedside when the end came.

Born in New Hampshire. George Hamilton Perkins was born in Hopklnton, H. Dec 20. 1S36, and was educated at the naval academy, becoming an acting midshipman in 1S51, a lieutenant Feb 2, 1861; a lieutenant commander Dec 13, 1862; a commander Jan 19, 1871: a captain March 10. 1882, and a commodore In 1S36.

He was executive officer of the Cayuga under Lieut N. B. Harrison at the passage of forts Jackson and St Philip, and the capture of New Orleans by Farraguts fleet on April 24, 1S62, Capt Theodorus Bailey (afterward rear admiral) was the second In command, and heading the whole fleet led the second division past the forts. He had hoisted his flag on the Oneida, commanded by Commander S. P.

Lee (later rear admiral), but this officer expressed regret that he had invited Bailey to lead the division in his vessel, fearing that the latter and not himielf would get tha credit for what the vessel might achieve. Lieut Commander Harrison immediately begged Bailey to hoist his flag on the Cayuga, and to this Farragut consented, and put the Cayuga at the head of the second division and made the Oneida the fourth vessel in the line, Baileys biographer says: Tie led the attack in the gunboat Cayuga, passing up ahead of the fleet, through the fire of f.ve of tha forts, sustaining unaided the attack of the confederate vessels, rams and fire, and passed through them to the city. Bailey says: "We In the Cayuga alone encountered the rebel Ironclads Louisians and Manassas and their flotilla of gunboats and maintained unaided a conflict with them until Boggs In the Varuna came up, and, after delivering a broadside, which came Into the Cayuga as well as into the enemy In conflict with us, he passed up the river out of sight. The Oneida, Commander Lee, came up soon after and fired into a steamer that had already surrendered to the Cayuga, being her third prize. After seeing our, Cayugas, third prize in flames we steamed up the Tlver and captured the Chalmette regiment.

After the passage of the forts Farragut sent Bailey to receive the surrender of the city of New Orleans, and he took Lieut Perkins with him. Nicolay and Hay say: Jt was an Imprudent exposure of his most valuable officer, for as Bailey, with a single companion, walked from the landing to the city hall they were followed by a noisy and Insulting street rabble, cheering for Jefferson Davis, and uttering wild threats of violence; the resolute and-self-possesBed bearing of the two officers alone saved them, Praised by Farragut. After Perkins was promoted to be lieutenant commander he was given the command of the New London on the Mississippi river; ran the batteries at Port Hudson successfully five times, and had a severe skirmish with the enemy at Whitehall point. From uly, 1S63, he was in command of the Scioto of the gulf squadron until April, 1864, when he was relieved, but volunteered to stay for the battle of Mobile bay. Admiral Farragut reported: "I cannot give too much praise to Lieut Commander Perkins, who, although he had orders to return north, volunteered to take command of the Chickasaw and did his duty nobly.

How well he performed that duty appears from the graphic account given by Nicolay and Hay of the fight below Mobile. After Farraguts fleet had successfully passed the batteries of fort Morgan and there was a lull in the fighting, the formidable rebel ram Tennessee was seen making directly for the Hartford. Farraguts flagship. All the union ships were signalled to attack her, but her capture was no easy task, although finally accomplished. The Chickasaw got under the stern of the Tennessee and hung on like a bull dog, keeping up an obstinate fire with her four U-inch guns.

A lucky shot severed the tiller chains of the Tennessee; her smokestack was shot away and the smoke poured in suffocating volumes upon the gun deck, and finally ehe had to strike her flag. But with his extreme modesty Lieut Commander Perkins only lay alongside his prize and waited for an officer of higher rank to come up and receive the surrender. The next day Admiral Buchanan said the Tennessee would have defeated the entire fleet, had it not been for that little Chickasaw," and Capt Eads, the builder of the little monitor, said he would walk 50 miles to shake hands with the young man who commanded her. The Tennessee was a noble prise, despite her injuries, which were eueh aa could be easily repaired. The Chickasaw, most efficient of the ironclads, energetically continued the days work.

After towing the prize to her anchorage near the flagship she steamed down to fort Powell, taking the work la reverse, and bombarded it for an hour. When night came on, the fort was evacuated and biown up. On the 7th after a heavy shelling from the Chickasaw, Cot Coatlaat aa the Foarth Pace. Only Sale Xedieine for Children.
