the Gate Receipts Notes OF General
Sporting Iaterest.
Saturday was an ideal day for the
opening Of the football season here and
two large and enthusiastic crowds saw
two exciting games Lines were
stretched around the field. fifteen feet
from the boundaries, and special po-
licemen kept the crowds back while the
long.haired athletes struggled with
each other Ia this non professional
sport.
The Warren Elkton game at the
Union street grounds was a hard fought
battle from the beginning and kept the
spectators in tufpense that was some
times oppressive Neither side scored
| during the tirst half. although McCart
ney made scms lively dashes around
| right end and kick by Mcdaniel once
advanced Warren 40 yards During the
progress Of the fret half Buckley broke
| through the line aud stopped what
looked like nice kick by Evans, and Ia
sll probability saved the game for the
home team
In the second half, Warren had the ba
10 Elkton's territory oil tho way through
and continually bucked the line for
| good gains Prentss made gain OF 15
yaIds by breaking through right guard
and right tackle The ball Was given
to Mccartney for a run around the end
and he made q gain Of 10 yards Nc
Dannell bucked the line for O gain Of
yards With only two minutes to
play, the ball was passed to Yellaenek
who went through the line aud secured
a touchdown, thereby scoring and win
ming the game for the home team,
Young Christians Lost BY one Point.
While Roxborough's eleven went home
claiming victory over Y. NJ O. A of
this city, at Riveryiew, by score of 20
s. the Wilmington young Christians say
tho visitors were defeated BY a score Of
10 to 8, they having made safety ia
the second half, which allows them TO
bring the ball down to centre again, but
counts two points for their opponents
One Of the remarkable features of the
game wss Roxborough's goal by field
kick, difficult play which few young
tegms can perform, except by chance
On another kickoff O'Donnell, full
back for koxborough, secured the ball
and made fine run to the line, scoring
touchdown, but falling the goal, thus
making the visitors total score 8

been received from FIJI that the trial
of the ringleaders and principal actors
in the recent devil worship Of rebel

Six prisoners captured by the Kings

after a most sensational trial, sentenced
to death.
one OF the condemned was n boy of
about sixteen, who Is sail TO be re-

There is still certain amount Of dis

followers OF the boy priest, who are only
partially satisfied by the Communication
