1t was fifteen years ago that three
young men. Hermann Eokman. Henry
Dean and myself alighted just at dusk
from a northern bound train at the lit

the Boston Globe.
Hermann was a physician, very

1t was a beautiful night clear and

risen, but the stars were so bright that
we hardly missed the serene little old

Suddenly a long, shrill whistle
sounded just beyond the cut which

THE SWIMMING CONTEST.
Fox . nd McEwen in Fine Condition for tho
Three Races

Fox nd McEwen in Fine Condition for tho
Three Races.
Fox, the swimming instructor Of the Nat
atorium, and McEwen, who holds the po-
sirion of swimming master at the Washing
ton, Pa, Natatorium, swim the first of their
series of races at the Nasatorium. Duquesne e
way, tomorrow evening. The distance is
one-quarter mile, and it is safe to say that
the contest will be very exciting. McEwen
has won numerous prizes, both in Scotland
and in this country, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most expert swimmers here
abouts, he II ow having a standing challenge
to swim McC usker, the present American
champion swimmer.
The hackers of Fox, however, feel that
they are justified in matching him against
McEwen for the reason that he has made
vast improvement of late. and has shown
some very fast trials. McEwen and Fox diff
fer very NATURALLY in build and size, the
Scotchnan weighing some 165 pounds and
built like Hercules. while Fox is IN ore on
the greyhound order and weighing but 1877
pounds. Both men are in splendid condi-
ton, and the spectators will witness one of
the finest, speediest and most exciting
swimming races ever seen. The fact that
intense rivalry exists between the men in
sures what everybody desires to see, viz,
an honest race. McEwan is the favorite,
but Fox's friends say thev have q surprise
in store. The race is fixed for o'clock
sharp.

got fair catch by Trafford outside.
Lake tried to buck the line, but it was no

Bliss was downed in his tracks in an at
tempt to run. Twice Yale bucked the line,
but the Crlmsons were impregnable and
Yale gave the ball 10 Bliss for kick, and
Corbett made pretty fair catch.
For some time the ball was passed back

The game consisted Of two 50-miRute
halves. and the first half was an exceedingly
lively one. In The early part of the half
Thompson played well, and tackled F. Ger
mer so well as to prevent a touchdown.
Germer had gotten through the local line
IN account of errors. W. McClintock and
Proctor's rushes were noteworthy. The
tackling of Valentine and Brainerd were
also cheered. During almost the entire half
the Three AS were close to the Clevelands'
goal line. but failed to get a touchdown.
