PRINCETON CONFIDENT.

HarrOld's Appearance as Right Tackle
Has Encouraged Them.
The Princeton college boys are encour-
aged since Harold put the uniform on.
He did not consent until Tuesday to take
his old place at right tackle, the teams
weakest point.
He Is a man of temperate habits and
cast iron physique, aud it is believed that
he will pick up the game and get into
condition by next Thursday. Cash, $50,
got into training for the Harvard game
of 1889 on even shorter notice. Flscus Is
fatally slow for a tackle, but is q first
class man for guard, and as a consequence
the chances are against his having a
hand in the Yale game. Wheeler Is last
recovering, and will surely go in at left
guard. Hall is a fixture on Balliett's
right. Lea is a leader for Holly's place
at left tackle. He plays with more life
and fire than Fiscus. The latter never
gets any ginger in his play unless slugged
by his opponents. When mad he plays a
snappy game.
Apparently the whole college turned
out to see the practice yesterday. The
mud plaStered veterans tore up the turf
and piled up the score against the scrubs
for nearly an hour before the field was
cleared for trick practice. Randolph
played at'left ind in the absence of Nc
Cauley. who has had the place since
Vincent was laid off. Vincent said yes
terday that a continuance had been made
10 wear on his bad ankle and hat he
would test the worth of it today. Ho-
mans has consulted a New York special
ist about the trouble in his kicking leg
and the prospects are bright for his play
ing a strong game against Yale.
Donnelly, '91, the best coach for the
ends among the graduates. looked after
Trenchard and Randolph yesterday.
Jesse Riggs was on the field in his play
ing toys and went into the game with his
former vigor as a half back with the
scrubs. He, as well as Peter Poe, '91, will
coach the team through the remaining
ain Warren, were also on yesterdays list
of coacherS.

PALMA FOOTBALL TEAM.
1t Will Play Its First Game at Home Oh
Saturday.


The Palma football team will plays its
first game at home mex Saturday. They
will meet the Elizabeth Athletic Clubs
eleven at Oakland PARK. The game will
be called at three o'clock. The Palma
boys have surprised the club members.
When Joe Farmer talked football he was,
of course, guyed. 1t was regarded as q
huge joke, and the wits made numerous
humorous suggestions. He found no en-
enlargement until the team had played
its first game. 1t was a victory, Immed.
lately the good natured chaff ceased, and
the members became enthusiastic.
The interest increased after the second
game, for the team scored a victory. They
met with a defeat in the third game, but
they had to put in several substitutes,
and with this weak team gave their oppo-
nents, the Seton Hall College team a close
rub.
TO avoid roasting" the team has
played all its games away from home.
Now, that they have convinced the sceptt-
cal that they can play football thew are
ready TO give them a chance to see them
on the field. The game will attract a
large and spirited audience. Tine team is
practising almost daily at Oakland PARK,
The visitors will have to put up a fine
article of football to win.

the hall on the second story of his house,
fell to the floor below, and received in
juries from which he died to-day. He
was prominent in financial matters

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-Interest in
coursing has increased so much this sea-
son that an attempt will be made to carry
the dog races through the winter season.
Patrick Canavan, owner of Ocean View
Park, is trying to arrange an international
match with Australian dogs and an all
American match with crack dogs of the
Eastern States. The latter arrangement
will be made in a week or two. Mem
bers of the American Club will bring
thirty-two of the crack dogs of the East
to this coast. The match will be sixty
four-dog stake-California against the
pick of the East.
Mr.. Canavan offers good inducement
for the Eastern men to come here He
will pay all entrs nee fees for the thirty
two dogs, all expenses of dogs and horses
used in training, and of the men sent
with the dogs, and beside this will give a
500 cup, together with a stake of 81, $50
in cash. The first prize will be 500 cash
and the 500 cup, second prize $500, and
third and fourth prizes $3.50 each. 1t will
be the greatest coursing event known in
California, and will probably take place
about Thanksgiving.
The ties of the forty-eight dog stake.
Park last Sunday by the Pacific Coursing
Club, was concluded to-day. The rain
cleared away in time to allow the sloping
ground of the field to dry sufficiently by
l o'clock, so that races could be COM
menced. The hares were not very much
chilled by the rain, and the courses were
very good.
The first ties resulted as follows: Gov
ernor beat Judge Morrow, Lookout beat
William O'BrieD, Jennie g. beat Maid of
the Valley, Dolly Warden beat Swede.
Glen Farren beat Pennyroyal, McDade
beat Dan O'Connell, Plumas beat Teresa
Fair, Fairy Beat Mountain Maid, Mollie
Riley beat Speculation, Missing Star beat
Maude Miller, Examiner beat Pride of
the Village, John W. beat John Norris
sey.
Second ties: Lookout beat Governor,
Dolly Warden beat Jennie G.. Glen Far
rem beat McDade. Fairy beat Plumas.
Examiner beat Mollie Riley, John W.
beat Mission Star.
Third ties: Dolly Warden beat Lookout.
Glen Farren beat Fairy, Examiner beat
John w.
Fourth ties: Glen Farren beat Dolly
Warden
The last course was run when it was
SO dark that the dogs could not be seen.
When passing the grand-stand Dolly
Warden appeared to be a black streak,
but Glen tarren was invisible. The first
and second prizes were. therefore, divided
between Examiner and Glen Farren.
Next Sunday the Pacific Coursing Club
will hold sixty-four- stake. Besides
the entrance fees, 800 will be added as
first prize. The second prize will be S64,
and the third and fourth will be $50 each.
The best dogs in the State have been en-
tered. The Henry brothers of Mountain
View have entered six dogs, j. Monaghan
of san Jose has put in three, and all the
best local dogs will be entered. The
drawing will be held Thursday evening

Some time ago the Salt Lake Board of
Trade took action to see if the Interstate
Commerce Commission would not force
the railroads to apply California through
rates to Utah common points. No def
mite action was taken, but probably a
recommendation will be made to the
General Managers of various railroads
interested to make a compromise hy re-
ducing the rates to Utah common points,
though the full reduction asked for will
not be made. A full meeting will be held
in Salt Lake shortly.
