Lcopr RIGHT. 18%.]
Just, as is usually the case, it devolves
upon Yule to do most of the "grand
stand playing" preliminary to buckling
down to the noble old game of football.
At the present moment a sort of day
to-day council is being held to deter
mine whether any game w ill be played
t'is year between Yale and "Peunsy."
The chances are all against- such a
game, and have been from the start. If
it were to take place it would Vie a show
lit for a Roman audience, a scrapping
match from first to last, rules or no
rules. Yale is angry with Pennsyl
vania for taking away her famous
trainer. Murphy; yet Murphy's FUCCCS
sor, Kecno Fit/.patrick, is a thoroughly
good man who knows all about track
;nd field athletics as the 3' are played
it Yale—who learned the trick, in fact,
from Murphy himself. Most trainers
are rather jealous of football, on the
ground that it breaks up finely-tem
pered men who might otherwise make
famous athletic specialists, but foot
ball is such a hobl>3' at Yale that • Fitz
, at rick is likely to be as energetically
devoted to the team as Murph.v ever
was. lie reported for duty about a
week ago, and is said to be hard at
work
It is n matter of common gossip that
both Fit/pati'iek and Murphy get about
$1,500 a N ear for t heir services to Yale,
and that Murphy changed his base for a
big cash bonus and Pennsylvania, re
spectively; but the place of trainer is
worth much more than the salary.
There ore perquisites from special
training fees out of season, and fiom
gifts; and when the training table is

THE WAR OF THE PIG SKINS.
•mining' the trainer has no board bib

much sought after by cunning athletes, j
yho do not object to becoming pro- j
Session a is.
Manager Garrison, of the Valensians,
wis been on hand a fortnight, hut. his
team is not finally made up, nor will
t lie for a couple of weeks, probably.
Vale is never in a hurry al>out beginning
practice, is now indeed rathe.r behind
the other three of the big four, but
many of her men are experienced and
resolute players and will have no
trouble in getting Into the swing of the
tamo, ( apt. Murphy—not to l>e con
bunded with Trainer Murphy- will
probably play at tackle again.
There, is absolutely no chance of v
brush between Vale and Harvard. The
ied ribbon men are now mostly at work,
'apt. \Yrightington and Conch Waters
iavr been testing a number of beady
for half, full and quarter

! ream will l>e filled from these men:
i'.ealc, Cochran, Mills, Warren and |>or
hnps one or two others. Young Newell
v ill be In the rush line. Wrightington
liius If should Ive hack of it; but the
whole combination will hardly prove
sensational.
In the contest between Harvard and
Pennsylvania, the latter team has the
advantage; If advantage it is, of early
practice at Meoox, h. 1., and of a con
siderable number of experienced liold
>vcr nan from last, year's team. Har
nrd's early refusal to give Dartmouth a
late is held by some to indicate a team
it pr sent rather weak, but may have
juile a different meaning.
Of the Pennsylvania 11. Woodruff,
Wharton, Minds, Dickson, (ielbert
nnd Boyle are all first-rate nan ami vet
ins. If Minds plays at full hack,
j which is quite likely, he w ill probably
j lie sei• n in excellent form; his game as
half 1 :ick against. Cornell last fall was a
1 fine exhihitiou of agility. St.ill lie is
valuable at tackle and may be kept in
his old place. The cornjiosition of the
team w ill soon be publicly shown, for it
, Ix gins practice games next week—the
first with Lancaster—earlier than any
other of the big four. This will afford
1 good test of the value <if a long train
ing season.
('apt. Cochran, of Princeton, expects
j to play, in spite of his broken ribs, but.
i he will not l.e the man he was. Kvcm
f be fei Is | rfeet.ly fit nnd gets into a
hot game, he may get out of it again
sooner than he likes, as it is hardly eon
■eivnble. that he can IK* in really good
condition in time for tihc big games. 11 is
| loos would bo a severe blow to Prince
ton, and of -oui e ill advisers who rare
more for the glory of the college than
the welfare of any one. man, will urge
him into games whether lie is in good
condition or not. Ihit what a splendid
galaxy of players Princeton has, saved
| from its last year's team! She looks
almost strong enough to lore Cochran
and still,give Yale plenty of cxerei: e.
As between the big four, the Yale
j Princeton game should be the better of
the two big malehfs, with the odds per
haps n shade lieltcr on Yale. Harvard
and Pennsylvania present more Uncer
tainty, but it will not be. strange if the
king practice and strong team of the
Pennfiylvanians put them ahead when
time is called. But it is all guesswork.
Football seems to have a fascination
for every college man who has ever
plaj'od it- Brooke, Trafford, Deland,
l.ea, l'oe, Moffat and other great gen- :
erals of the field will assist in coaching j
their respective teams this year. These 1
men do not sacrifice, their standing as ,
amateurs, lw so doing, as they receive j
no reward except gratitude. It. is differ
ent, f course, when an ex-member of a
famous team travels 3,000 miles to coach j
another college, as Cross has done. This 1
famous Yale man, six feet three inches j
high, n.nd weighing 215 pounds, is to
train the team of Stanford university, j
California. Cross is already on the
ground. The rivalry between Stanford
and the University of California is in- I
tense.
Then there are the ex-college men who |
join the big athletic clubs in the cities;
they almost always turn up on the field, |
as Phil King, the ex-Princeton star, does
this fall in the team of the Crescent A.
C., which he is to captain. A movement
is in progress 111 several of the prominent
athletic clubs about New York to check
the employment of semi-professional
track athletics and football players. It 1
is a movement which deserves every ;
measure of success.
It was said last fall that, one athletic 1
club spent $12,000 on its "amateur" foot ;
ball players and then for some reason ;
failed to send theni up against the es
pecial rival whose scalp was coveted.
I won't say that the hard times may
not have had something to do with the
general desire for the reform of an abuse '
that has proved so costly.
Of course Pen nay's practice games at
Meeox have been the best test thus far j
of the workings of the new rules, as the 1
training at Cambridge, New Haven and
Princeton began less early and has been
largely confined to test work.
Men who have seen Pennsy in action
say that the new rules seem to accom
plish most of w hat w as desired of them,
and the football game will be a pleas-
inter sig-lit to watch this year than it j
has been for many a day.
There certainly will be more open play j
and less massing, but there Will still be !
more scope than before for individual ;
feats of strength and speed. It should ,
be a more interesting game to watch.

DUDES AND HEROES.
An Incident tit I:I lti*no Thut Disappointed
it Governor of Ol hihoiuu.
A former governor of Oklahoma was
in town a few days ago, and some New
York men were entertaining him. An i
incident started the conversation on j
dudes, and how, sometimes, they had ,
been agreeable disappointments.
"We never had any real dudes in j
Oklahoma that 1 ever heard of," said the
former governor. "There was one, 1
come to think of it, who got mixed up in j
the shullle somehow. 1 was in El lie no
one day, and while sitting on the piazza
of the meane st hotel that was ever run j
anywhere, Col. Wade, son of old J'en I
Wade, you know, who was in command
;:t Fort Keno, and who was in K1 lieno I
every day, said to me:
" 'Governor, there goes a dude.*
"I nearly fell from my chair in getting |
up to see the creature. Hut there he j
was as la- had been pictured. Col. Wade j
aid lie had heard that a dude would 1
sometimes astonish people by some ex- i
Inordinary feat or heroic act which !
nt it led him to consideration. 1 never :
believed it, but ns Col. Wude was an of- i
lleer I let it go.
"While we were looking at the j
creature we saw a woman trundling a
baby wagon along the sidewalk—the
only one in town, I should remark—-
and a minute later wc saw a runaway
team coming in the direction of the
mother and child and the dude. A runa
way team in 101 Reno, gentlemen, has
the right of way. On came the team.
It was within a few feet of the woman
and child when I saw the dude ruisehis
i hands, and
"Saved the child!" exclaimed one of
j the New Yorkers.
I "Saved nothing!" replied the former j

| THE SCOTCH VOLUNTEERS.
ynecn Victor a First Reviewed Them ;
Muru 1 hull Thirty-Five Yearn Ago.
The queen reviewed her Scottish vol- i
iinteers ou the 7th of August, 16C0, usj
the court was moving irom Osborne I
to Balmorul, taking in Edinburgh by j
i the way. The gathering was a truly j
national one. I rom ull parts of the <
1 country vast multitudes flocked to Ed- j
in burgh to testify their loyalty to the j
queen, and the hold which the volun- j
! teer movement had upon their hearts.
As the English countries had sent the ;
flower of their local corps to the re
view in Hyde park in June, so now came j
a goodly array of the best blood and i
bone and sinew from murly every
county in Scotland to swell the general
I muster.
From the Orkneys, unto even so far
south as Tynemouth and Sunderland, |
came the picked men of each district; |
while Glasgow and the west of Scotland i
furnished about one-third of the en
tire force of at least 22,000 men who |
came together on that day to salute -
their sovereign under the windows of !
the ancient palace of llolyrood. Iler \
majesty left Holyrood at 3:30 o'clock, ;
attended by a most brilliant retinue. '
The marquis of Ureadalbane, the carl !
of Rosslyn and other noblemen were in !
tlie ranks of the volunteers; and Lord
Elclio, one of the earliest and best vol
unteer pioneers, in tlie uniform of the
: London Scottish. The volunteer army
was commanded in chief by Gen. George
Wetheroll. and the two divisions re
spectively by Lord Kokeby and Gen.
Cameron.
There were about. 150 different corps
on the ground, marshaled into 35 bat- :
( talior.s—one of mounted rifles, six of |
artillery, one of engineers and 27 of I
rifles. On her majesty's arrival at the j
position assigned, the royal standard
was hoisted, and the volunteers gave n j
royal salute. The officers returned to
their places, and her majesty, attended j
by the Prince Consort, and the duke of
Thicelcuch on horseback, with the whole i
of the staff officers on the field, pro- |
ceeded slowly round in front of the
troops. Precisely at four o'clock the i
whole of the battalions were put in mo- I
lion. The van was worthily led by the
Mounted Rifles of Fifeshire. Then j
came the First artillery brigade, hnv- j
ing in front the Edinburgh city nrtil- :
lory, followed by n strong force from '
, Tynemouth, Alnwick, Sunderland and
Whitehaven: but the mass of the three
battalion's of this brigade, about 1,500
strong, were made up, in addition to
the large quota furnished by Edin
burgh, of seven companies from For fa r-
I shire.
j The Second artillery brigade was
headed by the Greenock corps. The
Third battalion, composed entirely of
Lanarkshire and almost nil of the Glas
gow corps, drew forth special cheering
by their handsome appearance and the '
; steadiness of their march. The engi- j
I neers. in number nearly 200, came next.
The rifles, forming, of course, the profit
mass of the force upon the ground, fol-
I lowed. The glorious cheer which the J
volunteers gave at the end of the re- |
view—far louder even than the hurrah i
of the more than tenfold more ntimer- !
i ous spectators at its commencement— j
j was a thing to be enjoyed. Lieut. Oon. j
Wethornll, at the close of the review, i

| officers her majesty's "admiration of
the steadiness and precision which [

THE TSAR'S GCOD SENSE.
Ho Sits a Worthy Example for Ills Aris
tocratic Subordinate*.
There is probably no class of people
in the world so stiff-necked in their own
| etiquette as the officers of the crack
| regiments in St. Petersburg. Since
j Nicholas 11, became tsar he ha endeav-
I ored to discredit, the notion that an
: army officer should net ride in a street
ear. In St. Petersburg the army officer
j has long considered himself too su
; perior to the coniiuon civilian to share
i with liiin tills "vulgar" mode of eon-
I veyance.
| A few weeks ago one of the few un
| titled officers in the Russian capital ven
| tared to ride in a street car to his bur
racks. It was a presumptuous and a
j courageous net, for he had to alight be
| fore the fashionable eavaJryman's club
I of the city. But it proved an uncom
fortable act, for his fellow-officers de
clared that he had disgraced his uni
form. and refused to listen toliisquota
tions of the tsar's remarks on the sub
ject.
After some days the colonel of the reg
iment urged upon the officer the pro
pru ty of resigning his commission. lie
gave as a reason his feeling, and that.of j
other officers, thut. lie hud committed a
degrading offense by associating with '
the populace in n street ear. lixbisdis- '
tress, the unfortunate officer turned to '
a friend in high official rank, who told !
Ihe tsar of the affair. Nicholas heard
the story at four in the uftornoon. lie
| immediately put on a dark suit, and
; with bis adjutant went to the locality
where the officer had taken the ear.
boarded one and rode on it. to the bar
racks. He there alighted and getting
on a returning car, went buck to the
palace.
The next, day the colonel of the aris
tocratic regiment in question received
a full autograph account of the trip,
w hio.li the young ruler ended with these
words:
"Am I still worthy to wear the uni
form of a Russian officer? Nicholas."
Of course, there could only lie one an
swer to that, question. There is now in
that regiment significant reserve and
silence respecting riding w it h despised
plebians, and titled snobs fall over each
other to see who can signal a passing
car first.
The tsar deserves respect, for his con
duct. If he shows as sound common
sense in all stale matters ns he has
shown in this little, affair, his reign will
not lie a deadly conservatism that clings
to old forms and smothers progress and
reform in its stagnant embrace.—

THE RUBBER TIRE.
Where the Product Cornea From of Which
It Id Made.
Very few people know much about
the article which enters to such a great
extent into the composition of the pneu
matic tire, says American Cycling. All
the rubber used in bicycle tires comes
from South America. The United
. States imports yearly $100,000,000 worth
of raw rubber from the south hal f of the
j western continent. It comes to this
country free as a raw material, but the
republic of liray.il exacts a duty of 21.
| per cent.., or more than one-fifth of its
j value. It. is an established fact that, can
easily be proved that the export duties
on rubber and coffee aJone support the
republic of Brazil. It would be impos-
I sible to estimate on the raw rubber out
put of Brazil for the current year, but
in view of the wonderful demand for
! xliat article by tire manufacturers alone
it must considerably overlap the SIOO,-
000,000 worth which was used in this
country for the year 1895.
As this country hus in years post used
more than three-fourths of this product
of Brazil, it can readily be understood
how much the United States have bene
fited Brazil and how much mom they
arc benefiting the South American re
public by the increasing demand owing
to the bicycle industry. It is estimated
by those who are best able to judge that
| there will be $30,000,000 invested in biey
: cle tires in 1800. The remainder of the
i yearly import, is used in various lines.
! such as rubber garden and fire liose.
: belting, rubber used for insulation and
' countless other purposes. The amount
; used annually In the manufacture of
! rubber hose for air brakes is of itself
almost fabulous.
TRICYCLE WATER TANKS.
They Would Cost Leas Than Wagon
Tanks and Would Eat No Oat*.
I The big sprinkling carts that water
cit-y and village streets in the summer
i time are drawn by horses, for which
! food must be provided. Henry Jloltz,
; n machinist of Brooklyn, N. Y., has ap
plied for a patent on a device which does
away with that item of expense. A
TRICYCLE WATER TANK,
j water tank capable of holding 50 or GO
gallons Is mounted on a tricycle, mak
i ing u vehicle somewhat like certain
small delivery carts that are now com
ing into use; and a perforated pipe,
| running crosswise, is attached, so that
. the rider can sprinkle a strip of pave
ment six feet wide. The machine would
; be propelled by foot-power. He csti
| mates that such a sprinkler would cost
less than one now in common use. In
I large'cities, like New York, where there
I are street cleaners at work all the time,
lie would assign one of his machines to
each mile or two of street. This might
make it necessary to have more of the
tricycle sprinklers than of the two
horse machines in order to obtain the
same service, but they might, prove
cheaper in the end.—N. Y. Tribune.

jn everything pertaining to the cycle
trade, the general opinion is that tlu
coming year will far exceed it in busi
ness done.
During the season now closing it ha?
been no easy matter to secure a na
chine from the first-class makers with
out considerable delay, ns they have
been unable to meet tht? large-demand.
The consequence of this delay is that
many of the Irish agents are looking
to the United States for a part of their
supply, and are even ut present stock
ing their depots with American ma
chines or looking out for American
agencies, and if manufacturers proper
ly use their opportunities there is no
doubt but that American cycles will en
joy n large share of patronage from the
cycling public, and that the best grade
of American machines will obtain as
firm a footing and ready a sale as the
best British makes now have.

Bicycle breakfasts are a popular way
of entertaining friends who ride wheeb
t his season. A series of such breakfasts
have recently been given by a club in the
neighborhood of the sound, where tln
roads are all that could be wished. The
meet usually takes place on a Saturday
morning, allowing the male guests who
have come to spend Sunday to partici
pate in the pleasure. The time for meet
ing is at the early hour of eight a. m..
and after partaking of coffee or choco
late, with dainty sandwiches and rolls,
the cyclists start for a two-hours' spin,
returning to find a dainty but substan
tial breakfast awaiting them. The tuble
and room are always decorated with
foliage from the woods or field flowers.
Several of these repasts have been
served upon shady broad verandas.—N.

Billheads.
There is a vast difference be
tween asking a man bluntly for
I money and presenting a Bill to
| him. The begging method is not
| business-like, and there is great
risk of offending the sensibility of
[ your debtor, thereby perhaps los
ing a customer who might other-
I wise be retained. It is a satisfac
tion to every man who deals with
you to receive an itemized account
of his purchases and a receipt in
payment for the same. A Billhead
is the handiest means of giving
him both. He will know what he
; pays you for every article, and
i when he gets an opportunity to
j compare your prices with others
lie will have them handy for ref
erence. Do not use the common
stock variety which is furnished by
wholesalers. Be a little above
your competitor. Have nothing
hut your own name and your own
business on the heading." That is
the proper kind of a Billhead.
