The College Boys Completely :Downed the
Institute Eleven Yesterday.


Institute Eleven Yesterday
The football game yesterday after.
noon between the Allegheny Institute
eleven and the Richmond College team
was witnessed by large crowd. inelud-
ing goodly sprinkling of ladies. It
was an ideal day as far as the audience
was concerned, but was little too
warm for the players.
Richmond put up as fine q football
game as one wants to see, their team
work. interference, tackling and general
all-round work being of an exceptionally
high order. Bosher especially distin-
guished himself by his magnificent
playing. He made the three best runs
OF the day. each time scoring a touch.

ponents off beautifully, and is undoubt-
College eleven Duke also put up
strong game He made the only touch
down his side got in the second half
after hard run. The goal kicking Of
Burnett was another pretty piece Of
work, his kicks always being true.
The game started with the pigskin in
possession of Allegheny Institute.
After three downs Handy displayed
good Judgment by kicking the ball into

ghany could do nothing in the next four
downs, and it was Richmond's ball
Here Bosher took the ball and started
around the Allegheny right end and
made the star run of the day, running
forty yards and scoring the first touch
down.
On the lineup the students of Allie.

five yard line. Here the prettiest play
OF the game occurred. S. Handy took
the ball and started for the right end,
then passed the ball back to X. Handy,
who cleared the left end and secured
the first and only touchdown made bv
Allegheny. 1t was the prettiest double
pass seen here this season. Rawn
missed an easy goal on it. The Rich.
mond boys secured two more touch
downs during the fret half by their
good team work and Bosher's brilliant
running. Time was called for the first
half with the ball in the middle of the
field.
After rest Of ten minutes the teams
lined up again with the ball in Rich
mond's possession. They gained seven
yards on flying wedge The playing
from this time on was very hard on both
sides, Richmond finally securing their
fourth touch down Oh long run by
Duke, Burnett kicking goal for the
fourth time, making the score "a to4
After this the youngsters from the
Institute took decided brace, and
played much better defensive game
than they had been putting up pre-.
viously, but try as they might,
they could not secure another touch.
down. Time WAS called with the ball
on the Institutes forty yard line.
For the Institute the playing OF the
two Handys was by far the best, al
though much credit is due Woodrum,
Browning, Rawn and Lamb for their
good all round work. Outside of
Bosher it is hard to tell who put up the
best game for the Richmond boys Each
and every man played good game, and
1t is hard to tell who played the best.
The teams lined up as follows.

NEW YORK AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
are several important matters to be con-
sidered, such rs the evenings that are to he
devoted to the various special purposes.
home missions, foreign missions, church
erection, temperance, Sunday school work
and affairs of that sort. 1t is customary
for each of the special objects to claim a
certain evening for its meeting during the
course of the assembly, and 1t is not likely
that the committee will make any marked
departures from the established rule.
Everybody Cannot Attend.
lnasmuch rs the general public will be
admitted only to the galleries, it will be
impossible for very large number of out
Siders TO attend the sessions of the confer
ence. The enJire MUM MOOR VI TINS ii,lui--
forum is to be reserved for the delegates.
Opportunity will be given the public to
hear and see the notable men during the
evenings, when popular meetings will be
held.
Three subjects will cngrOss the attention
OF the assembly. These are the report of
the committee on seminaries, the appeal
of the committee which unsuccessfully
prosecuted Professor Briggs from the &C
ton of the New York presbytery and the
revision of the confession of faith. A par
tial poll has been made of the ministers of
the church, from the results of which it is
the belief of many that the question of
revision will be relegated to the back
ground for the present, and that therefore
the Briggs case will be the most important
and interesting topic of consideration.
This latter case has been brought so prom
inently before the public that the outcome
will be watched with intense interest
everywhere.
Where the Sessions VIII Be Held.
The New York Avenue PRESBYTERIAN
church, where the sessions will be held, is
one of the historic places of Washington.
The name was taken in 1859, when the old
Il Street and Second Presbyterian churches
We're united under the pastorate of Rev.
DIR. Phineas d. Gurley, who took the lead
in building the present edifice In 1852 the
old congregation welcomed the general as
sembly of that year. In the original con-
gregation, Presidents Andrew jackson.
John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce
were frequently present in their terms, and
the attendance of the last named at the
prayer meetings was subject of frequent
remark James Buchanan occupied pew
there regularly, and Abraham Lincoln
made it his religious home so far as he had
any. Today it has very large proportion
of eminent officials among it's attendants.
Nevertheless when DR.. Bartlett was called
to the passionate in 1882 the membership
was but few over 800. 1t rapidly increased
to 1000, and the original church has
founded two Others, the Church of the
Covenant and the Gurley Memorial, and

SMALLPOX IN NEW YORK.

Nearly Two Thousand Suspects Trans
ierred From Steamers to Ouarantir g
Stations.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Both Hoffman
and Swinburne Islands are crowded to
day with smallpox suspects from in
coming steamers. Four hundred men
women and children were removed to
Hoffman Island from the Lain and
Gera last week, and yesterday 1000
persons were taken from the French
steamer Alsela and sent to Swinburne
station. Smallpox was discovered on
all the vessels. About half of the peo.
pie have been vaccinated by Health
officer Jenkins. The people will be
kept in quarantine fourteen days. More
sufferers are expected by vessels due
to m orrow.
