PRINCETON’S VICTORY OVER YALE ee ae Georgetown and Gallaudet Uphold the Local Honor. ——— Of BER EV a ENTS The autumn meeting of the Washington Jockey Club opened at the Benning track Saturday afternoon, under the most auspi- cious conditions. The weather could not well have been more favorable, the at- tend: was by far the largest seen on an opening day for years, the fields were un- usually large, while the work of Mars Cas- sidy, who ided the starter’s fiag, was simply perfect, deservedly winning the ap- plause of the crowd. In the second race he sent sixteen two-year-olds off at the second break, d in the last race he di patched the thirteen horses on their jour- on a perfect alignment. There is no ason why Mr. Cassidy should not keep up his excellent work with the flag, and if he does the local club, which secured his instatement, will have the distinction of rviding the Jockey Club tracks with the best starter since the days of Caldwell The attendance of ladies was large, as was that of officers and men of the army and navy and the volunteer service, who were admitted free when in uniform.

The climax of the remarkable values in ladies’ winter weara bles which have been made occurs in the lot of spe@als we an- nounce for tomorrow’s selling.

The Columbian University team was clear- ly outclassed by Swarthmore’s eleven in their game at Capitol Park Saturday, and, as a result, the local boys were beaten by a score of 22 to 6. The game was the first one this season in which the regular Co- lumbian team has been played, accidents and sickness nearly always necessitating the use of substitutes in games heretofore played this season, and its backers pro- fess to be satisfied with the showing made. Besides this handicap Swarthmore has layed several big games already this son, and added to the advantage which their weight clearly gaye them was that of practice as obtained in a regular game. Columbians’ six points were made in the first half by a double pass, Beard going around the end for a touchdown from which Cummings kicked goal. Columbian also had a chance to score a second time in the second half, but an unlucky fum- ble gave Swarthmore the ball and Harr scored a run of sixty yards. The Swarth- more team made their remaining touch- downs through hard work in rushing the ball down the field through the line and in exchange of punts, In which Farquhar’s kicking cut quite a figure. Cummings tried for two goals from the fleld on drop kicks, but missed both. The line-up follows: nu Good Booth . Downing . McVaugh - Hooker M.Cummings Right guard.

The official estimate of the Italian wheat crop puts it at 1%8,471,9 Winchester bush- els. ‘The latest estimates of the Spanish wheat crop are a little iss than 9,000,000 Win- chester bushels. The London Times estimates the wheat crop of the United Kingdom at 77,900,000 Winchester bushels, consicerably in excess of the estimates a month ago. The official estimate for Roumania makes its wheat crop 58,456,904 Winchester bush- els. Official figures for Manitoba give its wheat crop as 26,729,808 Winchester bush- els. Preliminary official figures make the crop of Ontario 33,028,079 Winchester bush- els, the total for the two provinces being 59,757,887 Winchester bushels. As the wheat area of the more easiern provinces was much larger than In recent years, it seems likely that the total for Canada will reach the highest of last month's estimates— 63,000,000 imperial bushels. On the whole, the changes from a month ago increase the total estimate of the world’s wheat crop, but the conditions af- fecting the erops of the southern hemi- sphere are scarcely so favorable as they were commonly supposed to be when the es- i 6g¢. all-silk brocaded satin damasse 85c. new polka dot waist silks, all silk......... all-silk black and white striped taffeta. .. 69c. $1.25 24-inch black rustling guarant $1 4-inch black high-luster all-silk duchesse.

Except in the mountain districts, maize is mostly har- vested, and hardly a medium crop. Buck- wheat suffered partly from drought and partly from frost in the northern and east- ern provinces, but in the middle zone more satisfactory. The barley crop was some- what deficient in quantity and quality. In general, however, the cereal crops were sat- isfactory, the kernels being mostly full, heavy and-of a good color. In the moun- tain districts, and in the south, the yields of averages were below, where they were satisfactory, and especially so in_up- per Austria and part of Moravia and East Galicia, though in the last-named province the latter part of the crop suffered some- what from frost. Beet roots suffered from drought more than other root crops, the yield is barely up to the average, but qual- ity satisfactory. The fruit crop, though gcod in the middie zone and in some dis- tricts of Silesia and West Galicia, is on the whole disappointing. The vintage in lower Atstria exceeded the estimates, and the quality of the must was quite good. in Karst and the coast districts the yield was only medium, but the quality, in general, was satisfactory. Fall sowing was delayed by drought throughout a large part of Europe, but there is no reason to apprehend any ma- terial detriment to the crop from the de- lay, though in some countries the area sown may be somewhat smaller than under orably discharges from the volunteer army of the United States, Lieut.
