The baseball same be- T-cvpen Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania on Juno 7 next, sanction for which was formally given by officials of the latter university to-day, will be the first dual between teams representing the two universities in any sport since 1905. A baseball parne in thai year was the last meeting between Harvard and Pennsylvania. There was much agitation Cambridjri; against Harvard playing: the game, in the fall of it was said that a protest by the Crimson football team of tt'hieb Daniel Hurley was captain against a player on the Pennsylvania eleven was Ignored by the Pennsylvania officials. Sin'-p that time athletic relations between tlie two universities have discontinued, except on the occasion of peneral athletic sames. It is thought probable here that the baseba'l frame may pave way to a reenmption of football contests between the two versities.

Reports from upstate say that friends of Uliam F. Sheehan have active tlvre among Democratic members the Incoming Legislature. William J. Conners, former chairman of the state committee, is violently opposed to Mr. Sheehan, however, and does not look with any favor on Edward M.

Shepard. In an editorial In bis newspaper, "The Buffalo Enquirer," Mr. Conners has come out for Nathan Straus. His selection, the editorial says, "would be acclaimed by the nation, and Governor Dix at Albany would have a mate at Washington to unite with him in leading the Democrats of the Land of Egypt, out of the House of Bondage!" Tne editorial also says: "In this crisis of political affairs, when the eyes of the whole country are on the Democracy of New York, the man selected as United States Senator will be taken as the measure and gauge of the party throughout the Union. If he is a typical American, or rather the type that the great masses of Americans admire, the party will be with practical certainty victorious in 1312.

If he is a trust tool or the choice the Black Horse Cavalry and the Blackleg Infantry, the doom of Democracy in 1312 will be swift, certain and deserved." A committee Of Kings County Democrats has been formed to urge the election of Edward M. Shepard for United States Senator and has opened headquarters in the Johnston One of its purposes is to stiffen the backbone of John H. McCooey, the Kings County leader, and prove to him that there is a strong sentiment in the organization for Mr. Shepard. DIX PICKS JOHN A.

"When Mother Nature decided to carpet the earth with green in summer and to make this the predominating hue in her I other furnishings she knew there tvas no other color that would make such a good setting for whatever decorations in the way of flowers, butterflies, beasts and birds she might feel inclined to use in perfecting her handiwork. Artists in costuming, when TWO XEW TAILQBEI COSTI i i they follow her example, are likely to find the results equally satisfactory the things that are effective with a of green are the various furs that are used this season, and when this green Is' velvet exceptionally beautiful combinations can be produced.

All the dark brown furs are exquisite with green i velvet, and the grays, reds, yellows and I white are hardly iess so, although they may not be so serviceable or so becoming. The creator of the rirst costume illus: trated to-day has made use of jrreen vet, black braid and Australian opossum Ito produce a charming chic effect. It i must be confessed, however, that the grace and vivacity of the wearer have something to do with the attractiveness of the cos- I tume for the braid on the coat and the lons thick hair of the fur give It a heaviness that needs some counteracting mnu- Black and white striced velvet is the material of the gown in tlie second picture, I the coat beinc of black velvet with trim' mings of the stripe. Stripes, it is often said, are fashionable now. but yet one does not see them very often, the reason for which is easily understood.

They must always he. rather conspicuous, and therefore, unless they can be used with the greatest art it is well to avoid them. However, fashion allows the woman who will to wear them, and sometimes they are immensely successful. For instance, there was. a gown worn this week at the opera by a woman with white hair and rather less than the average height.

The stripes were white silk and black velvet, both being- about half an inch wide, and the gown was made en traine. Quite surprising was the effect of the black and white material with the white hair, and the train and the stripes together increased the apparent height of the wearer, making her look the personification of dignity LECTURES IN CIVIC COURSE The "Growing South" and the Panama Canal Discussed. G. Grosvenor Dawe. managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress, has great hopes for the South when once the Panama Canal gets under way.

He gave the first of a series of lectures on "The Growing South." under the auspices of the women's welfare department of the National Civic Federation, in the sun parlor of the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday afternoon, and explained to the audience how the energy of the white people of the South had been sapped by having a race of colored people to wait upon them and how the newspapers had given outsiders such a bad idea of that section of the country that no one wanted to go there. But now, he said, all this has changed, and the South bids fair to become the Industrial centre of the country. New Orleans has even prepared a convincing chart to show that once the Panama Canal is completed their city will become the centre of the universe. Claude N. Bennett, manager of the Congressional Information Bureau, followed Mr.

Dawe with views of Panama and the Booth. The audience, which was composed wholly of women, seemed to prefer the Southern landscapes to the views illustrative of engineering' skill, and a Georgia sunset brought forth a ripple of applause such as not even the great Culebra cut or President Taft's photograph had inspired. If one could judge by the applause, however, the most enjoyable moments came when the shadow of a smart hat fell upon the screen, obscuring a Panama sanitary kitchen. and even the whole continent. Miss Elizabeth Marbury has charge of the lecture series, and the proceeds are to go to the welfare work of the Civic Federation among the working men and women of the city.

With so much Christmas shopping still to do anything that facilitates Its accomplishment must be looked upon a public blessing, and In this light rnigct be regarded the opening yesterday of Stern Brother?" new building, in "West 22d street. One might almost imagine that those who had made the preparations for It had had no thought in mind but to lighten the Jabors incident to a proper celebration tills festival, for they have placed -within easy reach of harassed shoppers a lot of things that are in demand every rear a3 I Christmas presents.

The new can fee reached throusa 'the entrance to the old store in 23d street. I but will find it more convenient Id i go to it directly from 2811 street. It is far- i thai east than the old occupyins the numbers from 9 to 21. Number 23 is the receiving department of the toulldrag. and the entrance to th back of i the street shop is several numbers still farther west On the first floor are leather goods, perfumery, toilet articles, art needlework and notions.

These are iisi piayed hi handsome showcases that: quickly reveal the beauty and completeness of the I stock and offer suggestions in an nnobtraj sive manner. In the leather good 3 section there are special offerings la the different varieties cf bag 3 and cases that minister to the i needs, the pleasures or the vanitie3 of men I and women. Every preparation or con- venience needed to assist one in the high I art of uuiaii 1 iliij whatever decree beauty one" been endowed with by nature can joej oe found among: the toilet articles. The stationery is marked by the refinement and i pood taste that have always been charac- teristic of that supplied by this house. Noticeable in the art needlework depart- ment are the popular crocheted wool toques for motoring and outdoor sports, which are i shown in coat attractive colors and com- I bir-ations.

Those who prefer to make these toques themselves will find a full assort- I merit cf fine wools provided for their use. The notion department will be found viceable In a hundred ways to women who make the gifts they give. These who do not require anything found on the first floor may perhaps like to take one of the handsome bronze elevators pro- for their convenience to the third 'floor, where women's and children's shoes 'are kept. Serviceable shoes, of course, are needed at all times, and here they are to found in abundance, besides the more footgear considered suitable for Christmas gifts. The work of buying is made all the more agreeable by the tractive appointments of the large, a and exceptionally well lighted room.

On this ncor are also blankets and comfortables, articles to which the thoughts shivering humanity are likely to turn In I these days of low temperature. Only the first and third floors of new building were opened yesterday, but friends and patrons of this old house are looking forward with interest to the completion within a few days of the arrangement of the floors and their admission to tlw-m. The removal of many departments to the new building- will make possible a considerable expansion of those remaining in the old, which will make this shop more than ever an attraction to discriminating buyers.
