ROCHESTER,, n. Y, November o.
George w. Archer, president OF the

said to-day that under the provision 10
the new constitution prohibiting pool
selling at race tracks, the circuit races
in Rochester would have TO be abolished.

said he.
READY FOR THE CONTEST.
y a +
ter twelve weeks OF training, Captain
Trenchard will tomorrow lead his can
vas-back warriors into the arena at
Trenton to do battle with Captain
Knight and his ten stalwart comrades.
Some idea OF Princeton's ability TO
wrestle with the Pennsylvania eleven
may be derived from her general and
individual work this season. In some
respects the present team Is the best
that ever donned the orange and black.
As regards defensive play the tigers are
perhaps stronger than Pennsylvania,
and Princetonians nope that the
Ouakers will fail TO make headwsy
against their line.
The Princeton eleven will leave
Princeton tomorrow at 1910 p. m.
for Trenton, where they will line up
against Pennsylvania at 2 o'clock.
Princetonians are reasonably confident
that their team will win and readily
give odds Of ) TO 4 on the result OF the
game or even money that they will
score two touchdowns. The eleven
went through their last signal rehearsal
this afternoon.

DEPENDENT FATHERS.
Decision by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds In "a Recent Claim.

The pensionahle dependence OF a father
was discussed in a decision which was rem
dered yesterday by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds OF the Interior Department. He
holds that in claims for pension as a de-
pendent father. under section / OF the act
Of June -. 1880. where It appeared that az
the time OF filing his application the claim
ant is shown not to be In need OF support.
but, on the contrary, Is enabled by his own
manual labor to earn more than is necss-
sary for an adequate support. he is not
pensionable under the provisions OF he inst
section OF said act.
Ii was contended by the applicant ON sp-
peal TO the secretary. that the first section
OF the act OF June "a 1880. having omitted
the provision OF section 4s07 OF the Revised
Statutes. requiring the income which was
derived or derivatle from his actual or pos
sible manual labor TO be taken into account
in estimating fathers means OF inde-
pendent support, his claim Was placed upon
the same footing as that OF a dependent
mother. and that the proceeds of his man
ual labor could not be consiiese6 in deter
mining the question OF his present pension
able dependence under the act OF June q.
1880
But the assistant secretary holds that sec
ton ] OF the act of June %. $780, stands In
pdri materia to other existing pension legis-
lation and must be construct IN connection
Herewith: that said section mobiles the
rule as TO the evidence formerly required
in such cases, and permits the pensioning
OF those who can establish the condition OF
dependence at the date of fling application.
instead of at the date of soldiers death, but
the conditions attaching TO reasonable de-
pendence itself, as prescribed by former
laws, are not changed thereby.
