Princeton and Yale are the only members now, and the delegates present were: T. G. Trenchard, B. E. Munn and A. G. Millbank of Princeton, and B. 8 Cable and F. A. Hinkey of Yale. The most Important matters that came up were the ehofces of date of the game between the two big colleges and a sclection of suitable grounds. Neither was declded. There Is no lack of grounds on which the game could be played, and it is only a question of s lecting the one most accessible and of the money to be made. Manhattan Field will probably be again selected. | But the question of the date Is causing a good deal of trouble. At a meeting of the Princeton Graduate advisory committee last Tuesday it was decided to malntain that the date of the game not changed from Thanksgiving day, unless the Yale faculty object. If the _ Yale faculty objects, however, Princeton will consent to have the date changed to the following Baturday, December 1. Yale decidedly ob- Jected to playing on Thanksgiving day, and Bt the meeting of the association Captain Hinkey insisted that game should be played on December 5, as he contended that it was impossible for the team to be in proper form within ten days of the Harvard match. Nothing definitc has been decided yet and there have been reports that there will | be no game. This is hardly probable. The game has become an annual feature in the | east, and too much money can be obtained from it, to be used in paying the big ex penses 'of Keeping a successful team, to warrant its abandonment, It is said that Yale has even gone o far as to demand that the game be postponed until Decemer 0. Princeton cannot play later than De cember 1 on account of objections of the faculty. In all probability then the game will come off on December 1. This will be gufficient time for a well trained team like Yale to recover from-injuries eived ten days previously. Princeton will meet the University Pennsylvania on N mber 10, probably in Philadelphia. There was considerable talk of having the game take place in Trenton, but that is not_probable, Pennsylvania will not play Yale this year. ptain Knipe of Pennsylvania has said positively that the game will not take place. There is & general rejoicing act that Har vard ha ton, as this will prac th Pennsyl- vania. The Hary nia game will oceur on Thanksgiving day. Another hot game that will Thanksgiving day Is that betw Cornell and Ann Arbor. Cornell saw last year what Jack of coaching did, The managers have obtained Newell, Harvard's old star tackle, and he I doing wonders with the green material. Indications point to (he college having the strongest team that ever represented her. Cornel think that they have another Osgood in buck, & new man, but who runs fast a strong and exhibits wonderful endurance nd sand. MINOR TEAMS DOING BETTER. Two of the big teams were scored agalnst last week. Whether this is to be attributed to the new rules or whether the fact that the minor collcges, In oblaining coacl from the star players of the big teams, have brought out better play, is hard to decide Brown scored a touchdoin against Harvard and Williams one against Yale, and kept the contest a tie for nearly the first half. In this game it is sald that Hinkey delibe ely kicked Heard, the left tac in the second half. The ball was in Yale's posses- slon and Heard was in place, but looked over his shoulder. Hinkey siw him and rushing up - behind administered a kick while Beard was in a stooping position and mngrily ordered him to get Into place in better form. Hinkey, in training the team last year, was noiorious for the brutal lan- uge he used to the men on the field. He as used the same tactics this ye na Tumors which at (hat time were belieVed be unfounded have been spread that would resign. Yale showed up very poorly also in the ame with the Crescent Athletic club of ew York. The score was 10 to 0 in favor of Yale. 'W. T. Bull says: “Within the recoliection of ‘the oldest graduate such weak play on the part of the college men could not be recalled, even in all the years the two have met in annual games. = The attempts of the line men to carry the ball through the Crescents' rush line were quite ' laughable.” Pennsylvania defeated the Crescents four days after by the score of 22 to 0. The play of all the university men was creditable. Wharton was up against Sanford, the ex-Ya and toyed with his 'big opponen ‘wgonhurst, the tackles, advanced well and tackled strongly. Cent A Bull held his own very well for his fi ame against a strong opponent. 1In the Baci neff Giibert carrica off the Wonors and followed his interference beautifully. Os- ood can't learn to do that, apparently; if e could there would be no back in the country to compare with him. The team that Hned up will, in all probability, be the 'Varsity, and is as follows: Left end, Rosengarten: left tackle, Wagonhurst; left rd, Woodruff; center, Bull; right guard, Mhirion: right tackle,” Minds: eht end, ton; quarterback, Knipe; left haif back, bert; right half back, Osgood; full back, Brooke. The only change in Princeton's team this last week is the moving of Morse from half back to quarter. Trenchard went back to his place at end. It was like bringing out & new team. Morse played a quick, heady ame, and though his ankle bothered him, e made some pretty runs. He will be sorely missed at half, but it is clear that he is the only man on the fleld who can play if Princeton 8 to win this year, The work of the team has not been especially strong in the games t week, but yet the play has been bet than of the other teams, with possibly the excention of Pennsylyania, Hard luck seems to have given up all other pursuits and taken up its abode with the Harvard team. Grey, half back, broke his leg, and Acton, at guard, fell on the ball and dislocated his elbow. Both the men were practically sure to make the *varsity, and the accidents have Put them out of the race for good. Brewer, Wright- ington and Brown have laid off with bad ankles. The only satisfaction that is Jeft 18 that the season Is still young. The week's practice and games show that Pennsylvagln Is the only team that has | proved. The other three teams appear rather to have retrograded. OUTLOOK IN THE WEST. On the Pacific slope the game has In- creased in popularity this year apparently The great event of the is, of course, the Thanksgiving game betwéen Leland Stanford uni ty and the California State university, and the teams of both are prac- ticing hard. The line of the Stanford uni- versity will probubly be the same as last year, with three exceptions. The backs will all be new.- There are very few good candi- dates, and’ the outlock is gloomy. There are & number of positions to fill on the team of the State university, but candidates are numerous, and California is in hopes of pull- ing out a vietory instead of a draw this year. Three games have been played by the Kansas university team, one with Ottawa university, ofie with the Topeka Athletic elub, and’ one with Doane college, Crete These, with the practice work, show that the eleven this vear is a very strong one. It is being coached by Hector Cowan, the star tackle of Princefon's 'S8 team. There @re aiarge number of candidates, and they were given a great deal of preliminary work before any team was organized. When it come to the forming of the first and second elevens, the men were of such even ability that there was a constant shifting from one team to the other, and It has not yet been nitely decided’ which will be the first eleven when the regular league games are | played. The men that are back are: Willlamson, | captain and full back; Steinberger and Bhellenberger, ends; Platt in the line, and | MeMurray behind the line. The strongest new men who have distinguished themselyes are: Wilson at halfback, Hester at full Hill at half, and Armour, Stone and Pope in the line. 'There are many others nearly 83 brilllant, and some of the others may be ropped to'give place to new men. In any SRR the Takeu il bo s ong.

WHY WASHINGTON PARK CLOSED, Chicago's 400 Did Not Relish the noyance of Being Indicted. CHICAGO, Oct, 4.—~The announcement of the Washington Park club that it will hokd no more race meetings does not mean that there will be no more racing on the track, but simply that the club will not assume control of the racing. The organization has always been as much of a social as a racing coterle, and the members of the club were soclally embarrass>d and personally annoye by the indictment of the club officials fast summer on the ground that the race track was a common nuisance. There was also a strong _feeling among a porticn of the club st President Wheeler. The sentiment had soie influence on the action of the club last night. It was thought President Wheeler was extravagant.

Miss Ash- ley lost heart before the race was half over and gave up. Miss Mosentheim's time was 12:13%. In addition to the great crowds that saw the race the river was at the starting point with a flect compris- ing everything from a steam tug down to a houseboatman’s dinkey. The alr was crisp and cool, with a rather raw breeze blowing, Which, however, had little effect upon the water. The course, which was down stream, lay between the two great bridges. It was kept clear by patrol boats up to the firing f the starting pistol. Little time was lost in preliminarics, and af 4:35 the girls ot away (0 a good start, each pulling an easy stroke. After a sixteenth of a mile had gone over the pulling was then strengthen a bit, For the first quarter-mile there was little to be scen between the bows of ti two shells. At this point the St. Louls girl quickened her stroke, pulled into the lead and was never thereafter in danger. A half dozen lensths below the first half mile the Hartford girl gave up the race and prac- tically stopped rowing. The western woman kept her pace and finished an easy winner mid the yelling of men, firing of boat guns and screcching of locomotive whist the tracks along the river bank ately upon the close of the ra testants were 1 up by their t taken to the tarting point.

William the Conqueror very soon after obtaining possession of the kingdom, selected the ground on which the tower stand and hereon bullt the prison which was destined In after years to hold some of the most fllustrious men and women of all times, from the eleventh century almgst to the present da When this spot was selected by the illustrious Norman it was partly hemmed in by the ancient Roman wall built in the fourth century, and just before the departure of the Romans from British soil. It is supposed that the construction of the tower was commenced about ten or twelve years after the battle of Hastings, although the exact date is not known. The tower has been remodeled in part and Improved from time to time, until it has assumed the vast dimensions and we might say peculiar archl tectural appearance of the present time. There is to be found in the building almost all styles of architecture which have flour- fshed in England from the beginning of its construction until today. There {s an open space within the walls almost in the center of the tower called the green, whereon most of the executions took place, and they were many. The _spot whereon the lovely Lady Jane Grey, Queen Anne Boleyn, Queen Katharine, fifth wife of Henry VIIL, and numerous others met death, s marked a large slab of stone set deep into the earth, and the visitor can here stop and muse over the scenes which must have taken place during the various executions of lovely women, Christian men and_scoundrels, if he feels inclined to do o While standing upon this spot I was more ncined to imagine the scenes of the execu- tion of the Lady Jane Grey than any of the rest, and I stood for some time wrapped in deep thought, my mind turning to an old chroniclers’ description of this most fiendish ¢ orimes, committed by those whom this beautiful " and accomplished woman had litherto been betrayed into believing her best friends, HOW LADY JANE today GREY DIED. | ing nis @i remained within the lowse until August 18 of the same year, when'the was tried for high treason, found guilty and returned to the tower. He wrote a letter to'Queen Mary, in which ho quoted an old proverb, “A living dog Is better than a dead lon,” but, notwithstand- ing his earnest appeals for life, both to the queen and_through the influence of Stephen Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, he was exe- cuted on the 224 of August, having been allowed twenty-four heurs respite to hear mass, after the date ofithis execution had been fixed on the 2ist. In carving his design upon the walls he was thoughtful enough to remember all his four brothers. Under a bear and llon, sup- porting a staff, is the mame John Dudle; and surrounding them 18 a wreath of roses for Ambrose, acorns for Robert, gilly flowers for Guildford, and honeysuckies for Henry. At the bottom of all are four lines, as fol- lows “Youe that these beasts do wel behold and se, May deme withe ease wherefore here may they be with borders wherein— Four brothers’ names who list to serche the ground.' The third line is defcctive, but Mr. Lofties, who. wrote the authorized guide to the tower, thinks perhaps it should read, *‘With borders wherein eke there may be found." A WORTHLESS CHARACTER. During the administration of Cromwell, George Villlers, second duke of Buckingham, who married the daughter of Sir Thomas Fairfax, at which Cromwell was much in- censed, was committed to the tower for that very act He had been absent from En, nd for a long intirval, but secretly ry ned, was captured and imprisoned. He " one of the handsomest men of his day, but was the possessor of a most unenviable character, and so was disliked by almost all who knew him At the restoration he was made master the horse and became a of | member of the privy council, but he was so fond of intrigue that he was always in trouble and finally ended by being returned to the tower. But King Charles soon re stored him to liberty and his titles. His lessons of prison life did him very little good however, and his actions were, 1f anything more disreputable after regaining his liberty than before. Pope's deseription of this man speaks of his final illness, beginning “in the worst inn's worst room.” ' His existence dur- last hours was most pathetic. At his death his titles became extinct, as he left no children, Guy Fawkes and his ac- complices were imprisoned in this room dur- ing their trial and previous to their execu- tion, Queen Anne Boleyn, of whom there has been so much written, spent a portion of her life in this room previous to her execu- tion, which was brought about by that villain Henry VIIL. She was the second wife of Henry. Educated in France she returned to England and became a maid of honor to Queen Katherine of Arragon in 1527, In 1532 she was created marchioness of Pembrok: at Windsor castle, The ceremony was very extensive, owing to the interest of Henry VIII., who married her in 1533. She was crowned que.n during the same year. Afte: the ceremonies were finished the king and queen went to live at Hampton court, where the time was spent in festivities, and Sir Thomas Moore, one of the greatest scholars of the age, who was at the time imprisoned in the tower, hearing of the feasting and revelry, remarked: “Alas, it pitieth me to think into what misery, poor soul, she will shortly come. These danccs of hers will prove such dances that she will spurn our heads off like foot balls, but it will not be long until her head will dance the like dance.’ During a fete one evening the handker- This writer says About 10 o'clock on the morning of the | 12th Guildford Dudley | went forth from the tower to the scaffold | on Tower hill, that he asked the people to pray for him, and held up his hands many times to God with tears. His carcas throune into a carre and his hed in a cloth, he was brought into the chappell within the tower, | where the Lady Jane, whose lodging was | within Mr. Partridges houze, dyd se his ded | carcase taken out of the cart, as well dyd see hym before alyve going to d yght to hid no less than deathe. By this | e was there a scaffold made upon the grene over agaynst the white tawer for the saide Lady Jane to die upon. The saide lady, being abashed, neither with deathe, which then approached, neither with the sight of the ded carcase of hir hus- bande when he was brought into the chappell, came fourthe, the levetenaunt leading hir, in the same gouns wherein she was ar- rayed, (a black gown of cioth, a cap lined and edged with velvet, a black French hoed, a black velyet book hanging before here and another book open in her hand) a little before death uttered these wordes, Fyrst, when she mount:d on the seaffold, she said to the people standynge thereabout: Good people, 1 come hither to die, and by a lawe I am condemned to the sime. The fact indede against the Queens Highness was unlawful and the consenting thereunto by m3 but touching the proeure- ment and desyre thereof by e or on my halfe, 1 do wash my handes thereof in_innocencie before God and the face of you Ciristian people this daye, and therewith she wrong her handes in’ which she had her booke, Then she sayd: ‘I pray you all good Christian people to beare me wytness, that 1 dye a true Christian woman, and that I look to be sav.d by none other meane but only by the mercy of God. In the merites of (i bloud of His onlye sonne Jesus Christe. Forth- with she untied her goune. The bangman went to her to have helped her of there- withe, then she desyred him to let her alone, turning towards her two gentle- women who helped her of therewithe, also her frose paste and neckerchef, gyving to her a fayre handkerchef to knytte about her eyes. . Then the hangman kneled doune ang asked forgevenes whome she forgave most willingly. ~ Then he willed her to stand upon the strawe which doing she sawe the blocke Then she sayd: ‘I pray you despatche me quickly.” Then she kneled doune saying “Will you take it of before I laye me doune?' and ‘the hangman answered her: ‘No, madame.’ She tied the kerchef about her eyes. Then feeling for the blocke sayd: ‘What shall I do? Where is it?” One of the standers bye guyding her thereunto she layde her head doune upon the block, and stretched forthe her body, and said: ‘Lord, into Thy hands I commende my spirite,’ and so she ended.” With the history of the past lifs of this accomplished woman in the mind and view- ing the exact spot on which her execution took place, can you {magine anything more touching when we consider the unquestioned goodness of all her dceds, and when we re- member also that at this age goodness was at such a premium. We can hardly under- stand that any set of men could bring about her death in this manner, be they even so wicked as at the period of her execution. In the chapel most of the people executed on the green have been burled, and lie there to this day. Macauley, in his “History of England,” “says of it: “Thither have been carried through suceessive ages, by the rude hands of gaolers without one mourner fol- lowing, the bleeding relics of men who have been captains of armies, the leaders of parties, the oracles of senates and the ornaments of courts.” I presume 1 attach more significance to these anclent executions than is their due, but I was always charmed by anything historical, and it does not seem that these de:ds which have been written of and sang in prose and poetry bear the same stamp as do the executions and crimes of the present day. THE PRISON CHAMBER The Beauchamp tower, where all the notables were imprisoned for several hundred years, has been preserved as intact as pos- sible, and here we can see the designs upon the stone walls scratched by sharp instru- ments In the hands of lllustrious pzople, who at the time did not know how long they were to remain within these dreary walls, and, when released, whether the act would be accomplished by the executioner or gaoler. Here, in a room about thirty feet square, I should say, and with but two small windows, set deep into the stone walls, furnishing light, some of the most noted people of the British Isles spent ysars of their lives in solitude, and, as a witness to their idle moments, left upon the walls their coats of arms, names, etc., some of the designs being executed in & most artistic manner. Probably the one requiring the most work and exhibitng the greatest amount of skill was that done by John Dudley, created earl of Warwick, and who died in 1564. He was the oldest son of the duke of Northumber- land. There were five brothers in the Dudley family, namely Ambrose, earl of Warwick, created 1661; Guildford, beheaded in 1654; Robert, earl of Leicester; Henry, killed at St. Quéntin; John, the eldest, and the one Whose work remains in the tower 0 bear witness of his imprisonment, was incarcerated on the 25th of July, 1563, and nothing at all feare of lher oune | disbelief. chief of the queen fell from the balcony into the court below, a sign-as Henry chose to interpret it, to one of the,household, H. had tited of her by this time and on this Ight pretext called’ a council in West- minster, where the queen and several others w.re convicted and shortly afterward were arrested and thrown into the tower. In vain she appealed to_the King for me all of her pleas were answered with Shortly afterward she was-brought harged with adultery, and con to trial, | d-mited o die. On the 15th of May she was conducted to the scaffold, erected on_the same spat where Lady Janie and several others met death, A STRANGE LEGEND. ‘We are indebted to Disragll for a legend connected with her death, which T consider very pathetic. She would not allow her eyes to be bandaged, preferring to see the light of day as long as possible. When the execu- tloner (who had been fmported from Calais as an expert) approached her she would cast her eyes up at him with fo pathetic an ex- pression as to unmerve him, and he made three Ineffectual attempts to &trike the blow, but failed each time. Finaly it was decided to resort to a stratagem. The executioner removed his shoes and approached from the left, while a person wearing shoes approached trom the right. The queen’s attention w. attracted in this direction, and the execu- tioner was thus emabled to strike the fatal blow, and so ended the life of the most beautiful woman of her time. The walls of the Beachamp tower bear the word “Iane” in two different places. It is supposed that these inscriptions refer to the Lady Jane Grey, and it is thought they were inscribed by her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley, while he was a prisoner in the tower, but this is not definitely known, The inscriptions in this tower commence near the doorway, the first of which is Wit of Walter Paslew, and is dated 1509 and 1570. This person was not otherwise famous. They extend on all sides of the apartment and’ there aro over 100 of them in all, so that it is impossible to give a description of all In the limited space at my disposal Suffice it o say that here may be seen the record of imprisonment -of the greatest men and women of the times in which they lived. Sir Walter Raleigh, whose name, from his connection with American history is known to all, has left his mark upon these walls, as well as kings and queens of England and Scotland, and earls, dukes and princes galore. The tower yard is filled with ordnance of all ages in promiscuous piles, The White tower, which is the largest single structure in the enclosure, stands in the center, and within its walls may be seen the armor worn by Fngland’s kings for parade and battle, and the marks of blows may yet be seen upon their burnished faces. The battle axes, spears, and in fact all classes of weapons used in anclent warfare, are also grouped here, and are kept in as good order, per- haps, as when the owner was alive, and wielded them with deadiy effect. I suppose as I am forced to stop somewhere I might as well discontinue here, for it would by impossible to touch upon all the sights and incidents attendant upon a visit to the Tower of London without writing a large volume.

It Is the duty of this man to keep account of the difforent cars as they come into the yard When a train whistles he steps out on the platform, without either book or pencil, and takes a mental note of the cars as (hey go by. If any one happens to be standing near him at the time he Is thus engaged he does not hesitate to enter into conversation with him, and when the train has passed he steps back into the office and makes a complete and accurate record of the train, beginning at the first car and ending with the caboose. Sometimes, just to test his ability, the men would get him to begin at the caboose and write' the numbers the other way, or else begin in the middle of the train and work both ways. In any case he never has made a mistako that I know of.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., writes of the situation in Wall street: “The stock market as yet shows no signs of violent change either for better or worse, notwithstanding the ‘professionals’ are likely to remain in control, In the absence of fresh features calculated to attract a substantial demand from the public. The fndustrial properties continue to absorb more than their share of attention, and still form the dis- turbing element in the market, inasmuch as they are destroyers of confidence, and are causing other securities to suffer unneces- sarily and withcut special reason. There are but few unfavorable situations, of which do not come some good result, and this one s not likely to be an exception, as In the end it will tend toward a_revt feeling which will place the industrials in the background, and speculstive favorts ism will once m be with the good rail road - stock The movement has been ‘worked' for nearly all it fs worth In con- nection with the former class of sccurities, and the tremendous losses which outsic have suffered as a result of insiders' manip- lon are undoubtedly going to prove a lesson not easily forgotten, and one which will naturally turn the current of speculas tion away from manipulated stocks and to- wards securitics the movements are governed by natural ca the machinations of a few men.

It must be remem- bered that railroad returns now are being compared with those of a particularly pros- perous period, when the bulk of the World's ir business was being done. When they compared with the ordinary traf turns the showing is not so poor after and with the habits of economy now being 80 well learned the prospect for a marked improvement in net receipts is good when the general business situation begins to end with more rapidity, as soon it will he ‘granger' stccks have suffered for a long time on the prospect of a small corn crop this year, but this idea has undoubt edly been carrfed too far, ¢ ent indica- tions certainly point to t t of con- siderably larger yield than at fi The Washington agricultural on the 10th inst., shows that wheat n increased over their estimate of month, and {nformation from private sources from almost ry direction 18 to the effect that the crops this year are much underestimated by the government, - All these form another reason why an improve- ment may be lcoked for later for when a k class of stocks is unduly de- pressed action Is natural when the cause for the depression is removed or dis 1 to be principally the result of error It has always been a practical impoesibility to induce the public to buy stocks when ey are away down, but after the ran of pric d to a considerable extent n to buy.

This ought to be a good time to buy properties which enjoy confidence, with the idea of putting them away and holdivg them for a few monthe af least, by which time the prices for all good securities will in all probability reach a much higher level.
