Vice President Sullivan of the N. j. A.
C. has been on the lookout, for a long
time, for some adequate means of il
Illuminating the Bergen Point grounds.
Several lamps were purchased and set
out on the green to aid the football team
in practice. These did not give suf1ici-
ent light for the purpose, however, and
Mr.. Sullivan was at a loss to know what
to do. Electric lights were out of the
question. He believes he has solved the
problem now. The Wells Light which is
being used by the New York contractors
and street railroad companies win be
tried. On. Wednesday night a few OF
these lights will be set UP. The illunlin-
alton from them is very brilliant and
they will, no doubt, be as effective for
this purpose as they lave been
for others in New York. This is the first
time they nave been used on an Ameri-
can Athletic field, though it has been
done in England for years.
The boys at Bergen Point are indig-
nant at the action of the Wesleyan Uni
versity in cancelling the games with the

tickets and were about to board the
train when the conductor handed Man
ager Masterson this telegram, which he
had relieved

ear to all the appeals that have been
recently made to secure q tootball game
between the cadets of tie West Point
and Annapolis Academies on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and it is asserted upon good

the game with Harvard, at Manhattan
Field on Saturday Harvard played like
a cyclone in the first halt but wasn't
