witty People Injured by n Falling Stand
at Football Game.

terrible accident occurred on the
grounds at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, before
the Yale Princeton football game was
played. The big free stand on the eastern
side OF the grounds, furthest from the grand
stand, suddenly collapsed at 1910, carry
ing down with IL It's entire load OF human
beings. The crash came without any warn
ing, and at the time the long rows OF
bleachers we're closely packed with specta-
tors. IL is estimated that there were
more than two thousand people in the
structure at the time. scene OF In
oescribable confusion and panic fol-
lowed the crash, which was heard I'm all
parts OF the grounds. The occupants were
mostly men. a great majority OF them stu
dents from Yale and Princeton. There We're
also many women I'm the crowd. They all
lay IN a confused and struggling mass upon
the ground. Many OF them were completely
buried under the wreckage OF planks and
joists, OF which the rickety structure was
built The screams and shrieks and groans
which came from the unfortunates were
heartrending 20 hear Many tainted from the
injuries they received. In an instant there
was general rush for that part OF
the field, and n score or more of blue coated
policemen were soon engaged In pulling the
manned ana wounded from the wreck.
Others lent their assistance and within ten
minutes the whole place had been cleared.
At first IL was feared that some might have
been killed. but this fear proved 20 be UNI
founded. A great many persons, however.
were severely hurt, and broken limbs and
bruised heads and bodies were numerous.
Many OF the friends OF the wounded
people had them carried at once out
OF the grounds and placed in hacks, which
took them away before their names could
be learned. In this way great many
cases were not reported To the police. The
big dressing-room under the grand stand
was rugged up as n hospital and the sur
geons from three ambulances from the
Brooklyn Hospital, which had been sum
moned as soon as the accident occurred.

fifty people were injured.

Costs Moro than Beer or Buttermilk.

At most OF the leading hotels and res
taurants in New York the price OF cham
payne has been raised to 81 a quart Pint
bottles now sell for 50. Delmonico's, the
Hoffman, House, Gilsey House. Aston and
Sturtevant are among the leading hotels
which have adopted the new scale OF prices
The Hotelkeepers Association also intends
TO adopt the new price. and IL is evident
that the price OF champagne will be raised
throughout the country. So far, champagne
is the only wine whose price has been
raised, but IL is more than probable that
the price OF all other imported wines will be
raised at an early date.
