Fatal accidents came te be Bere and mere common feature of the pert, and along In the earlier thirties of tbe maeet century the football observance of krav Tuesday fell Inte disuse.

Btripfed of its technicalities as for as pos- Idss, tee game is piaywl $emutumg alter tms fashion : The ground is laid out in the form of a parallelogram, as is shown in the abe e diagram of the field. The Held measures 330 feet from end te end and 1G0 feet across bo be twees the outer side lines. There nre various liaea which cress the Held, which are l.ne n M the Are, ten, fifteen yard lines, etc., no ne aardiag te their dUtance from the nearest end of Use field. An understanding of them, however, is net necessary te a geuiral knen 1 edge of the geme. At each end of the Held, Midway betn ecn tbe sides, is an arrangement af upright pests and cress bar, forming an Immense letter II, twenty feet high and atghtem and one-half feet bread. These let ter H ere the "goals." The goals and the estUned field provided, no futther parapher alia, except the ball and the players, are Bseded for a geme. At the beginning of the game the ball ll ffatced laid way the goals, and the cloven men en each tide take their stations. Tbe seven "m I mii" en each side form in parallel lines Ktaadlng ccress the field, the "quarter back" fMn" behind the center rusher, the two "half backs' take a station ten or twelve yards behind bim, and the "full back" stations him sjakf ia front ct the goal which he is te defeni. The side which lest the tea ter the cheice of goals kicks off the ball, and the scramble and tarsueU begins and continues for forty-iive sninutee, the time of interruptions being do de dtKtid. A ten minute Intermission is fol fel l.lewcd ty caethcr forty-fire ininute inning, ad tee tide which has then scored the most ousts wins the game. In the football contest of today, as evolved , from the old Rugby game, actual kicking plays a very imall part. The object of the game, as of yore, is te get the ball ever or sit least back of the enemy's goal, but there SWi, are ener nay ei gcumg it inert ana scor scer SBC neints ether than morn t.ltY.nf Tim 1 ! scored by points, and there are four sUVerent ways of getting thee points.

As seen as a player gets the ball and starts te run n ilh it the opposing players concentrate their en ergies en stepping him and getting powasslen of the ball Tbe goal keeper and half backs de net venture far away from their goal, but the eight ether players devote their attention te the man with the leather bag.

Tbe rushers en each side range themselves In opposing lines, man te man, and ene of the side having tbe ball steeps down, holds the ball close te the ground and passes It be tn ecn bis legs te the quarterback, who stands Justlichlnil him. That worthy attempts te run nitli it or gives It te somebody clv or passes It te one of the uniting half backs, who kicks it as far as be can. Then the old rough and tumble scramble is renewed, and tbe games gees en until one side or the ether scores n goal or time is called. When n goal Is made the sides change goals, the bell is placed in the mlddle of the field and the game is begun e cr again. Tills is a rough description of the Ameri can game of foetlHill, though there are a thousand mid ene Intricacies of the game nhlch can only be understood by theso fa miliar with the came. Once these intricacies are understood, the spectator dlsceicrs n thread of purjiose running through nil the seeming confusion of the game, nnd, If lielj "en the inslde," he knows that every meto of censequence in the game was made In rospenso te a signal by ene or ether of the captains. The averoge tjtectater does net knew this, nnd certainly does net knew that the captain of n great football team, like that of Yale or I'rlnceteu, tries te study out each Imtiertaiit game before celnc ou tbe field, conjuring up every pessible inue nnd combination, nnd sometimes calling till men together nnd with them playing out en paper the aiming struggle. Agieat college football contest Is by no menus an off hand free fight between "tweu-ty-te Bullivnns," us one lending Journal 6i ice put it. It, is a centwt of skill nnd en exhibition of head work rather than a mere struggle of strength. The Hirtlclpnnta are net intentionally rough in their play, though the excitement of the hand te hand encoun ters and the eagerness te step an opjiesing runner sometimes lead te apparent "slugging matches."

It sounds semnnhnt paradoxical, hut it is at the same time true, that mut of the serious wheeling accidents occur te professional or thoroughly experienced rMcrx. The reason is that an old rider is npt te beceme careless. He forgets that he is en a wheel as he spins ever the smooth asphalt, nnd when the stene or ether obstruction op ep ticus in his path he is net looking for it, nud consequently Is net prepared.

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST. Ulfllcult)- or Atlalulns Crent fcklll In the Guuiu llie l'ewrr tu Vlmisc. Learning te play whist is n geed deal like learning te wntu shorthand. Almest nuy ene by practice can learn te write ene hun dred w erds n minute, or possibly may get up te ene bundled nud twenty-five, but lie end thnt very few w liters go, nllheugh almost every shorthand writer claims that he can. Se in whist it is easy te get up te a certain jielnt, but lie end that few can go. Any ene who has luestetcd the rules of the game may Ins nble te play it for some time )icrfe,ct!y; but every ence in n while the occasion mUes which only the really great whist plaer can meet, One of the greatest nud most dllllcult of plays is the grand coup of which Dcbchnp lelcsw ns such n master, and which Is ex plained in i very geed whist book. Hut gen erally sjienking the lest of a geed whist player Is in his jwwer te finesse. 1 iiuiembei, ntn recent game which I sat In, I held tlie a and knot spades. My part ner pleyed a small spndc, and knowing by the full of the cards that the ku was geed I played it third hand, reserving my ace te capture the king it possible. It would of e-eurcO have lieen bad play te have dropped thu ace. A stranger who was watching my hand, when he saw me put en the jack and knowing just enough nbeut the game te have lcai ued the i ule "thlt d baud high," said after the hand was played: "Umphl Don't you knew that It is the rule te play third hand high. Ot ceurse I knew what the rule was, but rules in whist are net like the laws of tlie Mcdcs and Persians. Learn them first and then mix them up with common seiMJ. Some pcople claim that you nre often npt te deceive our partner, but you won't if he knows what he is about. It would be Iiupossible in n short at tlcle te glve all the rules about finessing, and indeed It is net nceessary. Once the principle is undeistecd, it w ill apply Itself te uvery case. Suppose, for Instance, that you hav e the k, ka, 0 and 0 S, and the pla er ou our right leads originally the 8 S. We are, of course, supposing that he pla s from his fourth best New, an Instants thought will show you at ence that hu has hi his hand the a, 2 nud 10, becnu'ohe must have tin ee cards nbovet he 8, and ou huve the ethers. New, the prejicr iilay,etdiiiarily second hand, would lt the 0, nut you knew that the l iu this case will take the tiick, and you play it. ThU won't de ceive our partner, beeiiusq be will be en the lookout for just such play, and he w ill knew that when you play the t) afterward you weie net signaling for trumps. Ihe mid nbeut the tiump signal is net te play n high em d bef ei e n low one, but te piny a high card uunecessaiily befoie a low one. '1 he iutiinee giv en ubev e can be applied te Our partner's play. Suppose he held the a, q IU nnd b S, and should play the 8. As you bold tha k, 1.11,11 and 0, hU 8, of ceurxc, would bepeifcctly geed (hairing turnips), nnd you would pas it, unless for seme ether i cosen you desired the lead.

With this U giv en a portrait of EI Itlolley, the colt which The New Yerk Spirit of the Times sa s is unquestionably the best two-year-old of tlie year. He has been censide red a phenomenon all the season, but he has been accorded his unquestioned rank as leader by reisen of his recent victory In the Eclipse stakes at Westchester, when he did thico thice quarters of n inile In 1 :1 f. Still mere recent ly, nt Mertis pirk, be did the same distance in 1.11, making a new ux-erd. El llie Hey is thus described by The Spirit: Is a bright chestnut, with a narrow blaze In his face extending ev cr the nes-, the near fere and both hind legs white. He has a beautifully expressive focennd a large full cyoef intelligence, large nostrils, long taper ing ears, n leund muzzle, high cheeks, nn ex quisite neck, full throttle, short from the thruatlate-h te the breast, which is full but narrow, well Inclined shoulders, a grand back nnd deep ribs closely coupled, nnd full fiiuks. His lfst and mett striking point is his enor mous quarters, which nre ns massive as theso of a steer, nnd run aw ay down full te the gasklu, his arms are very big and bread, and his legs are geed, as are bis feet. His worst point is his ankles, which are net the best. His action Is rather slovenly nnd sluggish in bis slew paces, but when extended is v cry taking and his profiling pen er euor euer euor meiis. In short, he is like his brother Em Em jerer of Norfolk in style enormous size, lione and substance joined te high quality. El llie Itey was foaled June 10, 1&S7, at tbe El Auove stud of Mr. Thee. Winters, In Callfurnu. mil is a full brother te Ducbei. of Norfelk.Dukoof Norfolk, King of Norfolk, Vera, Emperor of Norfolk and Tha Czar.

Mr. Alex ander then told him for ItS.OOl, the odd dollar being exact ed te win a bet which he had made with the late U. C.

Iu the opinion of many Norfolk wat the best son of Lexington. Marian, the dam of Et llie Iley, Emperor of Norfolk, King of Norfolk, Ducbcss of Nor folk, The Czar, etc., was bred by Mr. Jeseph Cairn Simpsen in Illinois and taken te Cali fornia. She was a daughter of Malcolm (who was long considered the best ten of Rennie Scotland), her dam being Maggie Mitchell, by Imp. Yorkshire ; grandam the renowned mare Charmer, the best mare of tbe day ou the turf and a daughter of Imp. Glencee and Betsy Malene, by Stock holder.
