HARVARD WAS ouTcLAssED.
Pennsylvania Had an Easy Task TO Defear
the Cambridge Bows.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-Twenty thousand
people saw Pennsylvania defeat Harvard on
the local college grounds to-day. 1t was the
last game of the season for the two teams. and
the first big Thanksgiving Day contest that
Philadelphia has ever had. Not defeat has
marred the record of the red and blue during
the entire football year, and Harvard was the
third team to succeed in crossing her goal
line. Pennsylvania's victory by an IS to 4
score was made by hard. clean football
So hard and fast was the play that five of
the Cambridge men were compelled to leave
the field. Charley Brewer wrenched his weak
ankle in the first half and Harvard was with
out the services of her best kicker Emmons'
leg was also strained and he was compelled
to 60 to the side lines. The other injured
players were Hallowell, Wheeler, and Fair
child.
Only two points were scored in the first
half, and these were made by Pennsylvania
on a safety.
In the second half the Harvard team
showed Itself weak in the face of the fierce
onslaughts of the Quakers, and the play was
almost entirely in their territory Three
touchdowns, from which two goals were
kicked, were made by the Quakers. while
Harvard succeeded in crossing the line. but
failed to kick the goal. Brooke's punting was
the finest ever seen in football match, and
neither Hayes or Charlie Brewer were in the
same class with him

Milkman and Trumnat.

A surprising story is told of one of our
formerly welI-known Back Bay physi-
clans, who is now an old man, and SO
deaf that he cannot hear anything with
out the use of an ear-trumpet.
1t happened that while ne was spend
ing his vacation at his summer residence
he had occasion to make some changes
among the people with whom he traded
for the necessaries of life. Early one
morning he was aroused by his wife and
made 10 understand that somebody was
knocking violently at the front door.
Putting on light dressing-gown, and
procuring his trumpet, he started oft
down stairs, prepared to listen near the
door and ascertain the cause of so much
disturbance. Intent upon finding out
what the noise was about he opened the
door little way, and, sticking bis ear
trumpet through the crack, applied his
ear to it and waited developments.
In few moments he felt lukewarn1
liquid running from his ear down the
back of his neck and on to the floor.
Flinging open the door ne discovered
that the new milkman had mistaken his
eartrumpet for milkcan, and was leIs-
urely pouring the contents of gallon
jug into the end which had been pre-.
sented to him through the crack OF the
door.-Boston Herald.

cluded until late this morning, and re-
suited in the University Club of Chicago
defeating the Hamilton Club of this city
and carrying away the Hamilton trophy;
the Minneapolis defeating the Chicago
Whist Club and winning the American
Whist League challenge trophy. The
fact that the first half of the Hamilton

nights contest very interesting. The

club winning by seven tricks, or with a
score of 63l to 6l7.
The Hamilton trophy is magnificent
silver cup valued at 81 900, ano the team

America for the ensuing year. The con-
test for the American Whist League chal-
lenge trophy, silver cup valued at $500,
narrowed down to round between the
Minneapolis and the Chicagos. The
finals were played last night, the score
standing: Minneapolis $780, Chicago
Whist Club ISL. The Minneapolis club.
under the terms OF the contest, will be
liable to challenges at stated intervals
during the ensuing year by any other
club of the league. To-day most of the
delegates left for home.

A Novel singing-school.

One of the best cage sOngSters that
comes to US from across the water is the
little bullfinch, a small, shy bird which
inhabits the well-wooded districts of
Asia, Central and Southern Europe and
parts OF England. 1t is found in this
country only as captive. At home the
bullfnch attacks the young buds OF fruit
trees, and incurs the enmity OF the gar
deners all through Europe; but the bird
is such a sweet singer and whistler that
his fault in this respect is overcome by
his excess of good qualities. In Ger
many thousands of bullfinches are bred
and trained for the market every year.
and many are imported to this country
as cage birds.
At Hesse and Fulda are several cele-
brated singing schools where these sing
ers have their voices and ears trained al
most to perfection. Germany has sup
piled to the world some of the grandest
human musicians; and she excels as well
in cultivating and training the little bird
musicians sent forth to all parts of the
world.
The little bullfnches are raised in con-
finement, and when very young they are
divided into classes OF six each. Each
class has a separate room, where the SIX
little birds are shut up in darkness, with
plenty of food near them. This is before
they have yet learned to whistle and imi-
tate the songs of other birds. Suddenly
the sweet notes of an organ startle the
birds, and cause them to hop around in
| their dark prison. AS the music con-
tinues. their spirits become enlivened.
Soon they pick up some of the food and
chirp forth a few crude notes in imitation
| OF the music. Light is then gradually al
| lowed to enter the room, thus increasing
| the happiness of the singers and they
break forth into ecstatic song. The music
| is continued all day, and the enthusiastic
birds try to follow and initiate it until
| fairly exhausted by their efforts.
| This is the preparatory school; and
after each class of six has spent some time
here, the several birds are handed over
to training boys, whose business it is to
continue their instruction. The advanced
pupils are taken into separate rooms,
where organs are played from early
morning until night The organs used
are ordinary organs that have soft, pure.
| fiute-like notes, with nothing harsh or
disagreeable in the sound. Sometimes
/ birds are trained by means OF the flute,
| but in the larger establishments small
organs are commonly used.-St. Mich
