TriZGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Hew York, Dec. 2. The eagerly awaited report from Julius Harder, of the North American Turner Band, Chicago, respect ing preliminaries for the proposed Interna tional Athletic Carnival in connection with the World's Fair next year, reached A. G. Wills to-day. A. G. Spalding had a long conference -with Secretary James E. Sulli van on the subject, and it was decided to hold a meeting of the Plan and Scope Com mittee in A. G. Mills' office at 2 p. m. to morrow. As annonnced last Saturday, Mr. Harder left for Chicago to look up the best avail able open dates for a series of international handicap and champion tournaments be tween August 20 and September 30, 1893. and to enlist the sympathies and support of the leading magnates in Western amateur circles. His communication ot to-dav is said to convey very encouraging informa tion. "When seen by a reporter Mr. Spalding thought it -would be rather injudicious to talk definitely about the details of the scheme until he can submit his views to the meeting tQ-morrow. "I have not the slight est doubt, however," he added, "of the ultimate success of the enterprise, or of the cordiality with which mv associates in the Chicago Athletic Club and other Western organizations will support it when their sympathies are once properly enlisted." The members ot the committee who have the matter in charge are A. G. Mills, W. B. Curtis and James . Sullivan. WILL CHANGE THEIR SCHEDULE, Tale Football Team to Have a Different Programme Next Tear. New Havet, Coirs., Dec. 2. Up at the campus ic seems to be the general opinion that there will be a change in the football schedule next year. In the first place. Tale will never play so many championship games so near together. This year within 13 days Tale played the University of .Penn sylvania, Harvard and Princeton. The strain on the team was too heavy and many think that Tale did not do herself Justice in the Thanksgiving game. Tale wants to form a triangular league with Princeton and Harvard. To do this it will be necessary for Harvard to take back a great ileal she has said about Princeton and also for the Hat raid faculty to make some concessions to to the crimson team.such as allowing it to play outside of New England. In a choice between Harvard and Prince ton Tale .will probablv stick to Harvard DesDite all that the New Jersey men rimy say Tale maintains that Princeton, with the exception of her baseball and football teams, is practlcallv a noneutitv in intnr. collegiate athletics, while Hnrvard koeps up all branches. Delegates from the great tournaments will undoubtedly meet this winter and come to some decision in this matter. It looks now as though tho smaller colleges will have to depend more upon themselves and that the season for cham pionship games for the smaller colleges is a thing of the past. LITTLE MONEY FOE TEOTTEES. Village Farm Stock Fail to Bring Anything Like Fair Prices. During the week a sale of trottlnsr stock owned by the Village Farm, Buffalo, has been going on, and the following prices show the poor demand there is for trotters at present. One of the best prices was paid for the bay mare Daisy King, by Martin King, out of Rosebud, by -Hamlin's Almont, sister to Jus tina (2:20) and Glendennis (2:17J). She is in foal to Chimes, but sold for only a third of her value. Ed Gecrs bought her for $1,000 for the Messrs. Mnlth, of Bnrlington, Ala.t who own Fred S Wilkes (J:ll).

Charles Roed, turfman md philosopher, leached New Tork yester lay on his return from a trip to tho Argen tine Eepublic whither he went to buy the rreat thoroughbred stallion Ormonde, Mr. Eeed offered S125.000 for the hor;o, but W. O'. D. Macdonough, of California, topped him ultli a bid or $150,000 nnd secured the son of Bend'Orand Lily Agnes lor his California tud. "I look upon mv falllns to get Ormonde as aelng all for tho best," said Mr. Ilced, "and I was more than consoled when I heard that four horsn of my brecdlnc: had brought jver $100,000 at the recent Eliret sale.

The man who bid $100,000 for St. Blaise at t public auction aud silenced multi-million-ures by his determination, stroked bis sriz sled stubble when asked to tell sometlilus ibont his trip, and replied: "Well, I was ised llkoaprinceevcrywhero 1 went.

WILL HAVE NEW GB0TJNDS. The New Tork Giants Have to Leave Their Old Quarters. New Toek, Dec. 2. Ifipeciat The "Giants" that is, the. New Tork Baseball Club will probably have new grounds to "clay ball" on next season, and perhaps that will bring them a fuller measure of financial luck than they have had for the past two seasons or so. Their old field, the Polo Grounds, has been negotiated for by the National Horse Show Association, which wishes also to lease Manhattan Field as well and turn the two into a gigantic field for all kinds of sports. The directors of the New Tork Baseball Club hold a ieae of both Manhattan Field and the Polo Grounds, ana it has still nine years to run. The Manhat tan Athletic Club rents the field from the ball people, and lust how the latter are to induce the Manhattans to retire from the tenancy does not appear. The Horse Show Association, it is said, is willing to pay $75. 000 for the two fields, whicb, transformed Into tho single immense area as proposed, would surel j si ve t hem a sporting park that . would be unequalod in this region. '' Thr directors of the ball club have already inspected a new field lor their games on tho line of the New Tork, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad. It is not definitely stated just where these grounds are, hut probablv they are not far from Morris Park, as it i an noun cod that the railroads will be willing to transfer passengers to the now grounds for a nickel For the Championship. The football game between the Wilklns burg A. A. team and the University Be serve team, which had to be costponed on Thanksgiving Day on account of bad weather, will be played at Wilkinsburg this afternoon on the W. A. A. grounds. Both teams have been strengthened and bare been practicing hard. The W. A. A.'s will have a much stronger team on tbn field than they had ..en they played the P. A. C He serves, whom they tied. Tho Universlty boys were never in better form, and the contest to-day will be for the local "light weight" championsbip.

The estimated production of the McDolv ald field is up again to 21,000 barrels, and there are now our wells in the field which are reported to ba making over 20 barrels an hour. The No. 1 Sproul of E. H. Jec nlngs & Co. was added to the list yesterday, and is reported as doing 30 barrels an hour.

There was a substantial advance in tbe market yesterday, andtho producers were consequently elated. The sales on tho floor of the Pittsburg Oil Exchange amounted to 73,000 barrels and 64 cents bid was the closing price. The producers still Insist that tbe advance is dne to the bullish char ter of the November oil report. Tbe Forest OU Company got a par streak at 40 leet in the fourth sand at its No. S Devlne in the Chartiers field yesterday, and it is making about five barrels an hour.

Try One Ear and Then tha Other aad Ascertain How ths Hearing of One E r Can Ba Lost Imperceptibly. Bead of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' Sue-' cess In the Treatment of Dleases of the Ear. Haven't you observed how many of your friends make you take the right or left hand side, as the cose may be, so that they can hear yon? What Is the cause or ltT Catarrh! Tbe eustachian tubes are small tubes about two inches long, leading Irom the npp.er back part of tbe throat to the middle ear. Their use is to permit the passage of air inside the drumhead of tbe ear. Every ordinary drum has asmall hole in tbe barrel 37ie cbuve cut thowi an interior xiew of throat, eutfacMm tubes ami ear cavitien; Aa. 1 is the drum of the ear; 1 and S the cavi y of the inner ear nnd the tvxal'. bones of the ear; h the auditory nerve. to admit the air 011 the inside. This is done to allow the pressure of air to be equal on both sides of the drumhead, and without it the drum would bo worthless. So it Is with tbe middle ear; the pressure must be equal on both sides, so that the drumhead (called the tympanum) may be sensitive to respond to tbe delicate viDra tlon of air, which, wben communicated to the brain through the auditory nerve, pro duces sound. If anything happens to ob struct the eustaoblan tubes hearing is very much impaired, if not entirely destroyed. The illustration makes it plain how easily it is for the catarrhal process to extend from the nose to the throat and thence up the eustachian tubes to the middle ear. Tbe mucous lining of these little tubes becomes Inflamed and thickened, and the tnbes wholly or partially closed up, the equUlb rium of air pressure is disturbed and the loaring, buzzing, cracking and hissing noise, so annoying to thousands of catarrhal subjects, follow.accompanled nearly always by dullness or entire loss of hearing. If the disease Is permitted to run on un checked the small bones of the ear, marked 2 and 3 in the Illustration, will be destoyed and the drum attacked, perforated and de stroyed, and totalv deafness will follow. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers have un qualified success in the treatment of these cases. Their methods aro the result of many vears of study and practice, and have been demonstrated to be' the most success ful iu use at the present time. A Case in Point. "For over three years." said Mr. Thomas Brown, tbe well-known grocer, of Websterj, Pa., T suffered from "Severe headaches, "Weak eyes, , "Soaring in ears, "Bad taste in mouth, "Severe stomach troubles, "Sbortnes of breath." "I doctored considerably and tried many patent medicines trying to obtain relle'. At last I went to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. They recognized my tronblo at once and told me what it was, which no other doctor had ever done. I was in very bad shape wben I commenced, but I soon noticed an Improvement in mv condition. All tbe symptoms of which I then complained have disappeared. I have gained in strength and weight, my appetite is good, I no longer grow dizzy, the roaring In my ears has stopped, the dropping of mucus into my throat has disappeared, the pains have lelt me, and I sleep well and feet first-class. I recommend Drs. Copeland, Hall jind Byers heartily." DO YOU BREATHE WELL? Have You a Cough? Is There a Soreness In Your I,ungs? Is Your Breathing Difficult?

Yes, and more, in thousands of cases by arresting the progress of Catarrhal Bron chitis, saving the lungs from Invasion and curing the disease, they have restored to health the patient whose so-called "con sumptive tendencies" hnd beeu marked with despair by othor doctors. The case of Mr. Foster, cited below, is by no means an nnusual one. Hundreds like it hnve appeared in these columns. Note its peculiarities, and mark how like it is to many that bave procedecTlt.

Mr. William Foster, employed in the plan ing mill of Messrs. & Purvis A Co., and re siding on Cleveland street, Bntlor, says: "1 had been troubled with my head, throat and stomach for two years previous to con sulting Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. Mv throat became dry and raw, tongue coated and parched with bad taste In the mouth in tbe morning, loss of appotlte, especially for breakfast, and what little I forced myself to eat caused distress and bloating up after ward. I lost strength and flesh right along. "Finally night sweats set in, which weak ened and alarmed me greatly. "When I first went to Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers' office I could hardly walk I was so weak, was sore andacned all over and coughed incessantly. They examined me carefully and gave tne a month's supply of medicine to take home, and I can't Just ex press what benefit I received even with tbe llrst month's treatment. "I gnluod seven or eight pounds the first month andpan do a fnll day's work without tiring the night sweats have disappeared and I feel like another person. I cheerfully recommend all patients suffering from catarrhal troubles to consult these eminent specialists at onco and not trifle with their health and get into tbe serious condition in which I was."
