Bob Emmons Comes out Strong on the
 Football Games.

HOOtDulA UthANSs
 Boston, March 7.--If the game of foot ball is to continue, writes Bob Emmons in the Harvard Graduate Magazine to- day, the colleges must begin its refor- nation immediately. The need Of re- form, he continues, must be conducted along these lines:
 Reduction of the excessive training, reduction of the notoriety, publicity and expenditure, and elimination of the ob- jeetionable features of the game itseli
 Excessive training Is defined playing hard football" for a month in the spring, fortnight in the summer and for ten weeks in the fall This, he says, should be abolished with the eX- ception of the ten weeks work in the fall As a remedy for the unpleasant notoriety, amounting almost to profes- sionalism, the tendency of which Is to bring the game into the same plane with the prize ring, he suggests that the games be made exclusive. No seats should be sold to any but college grad uates or undergraduates or those hold ing some sort of guest tickets, while the college matches shoulud be held on college grounds for college people, Elk travagance from start to finish he de- plores as wrong, and more particularly where a team clears S42000 and spends $1G,000 during one fall.
 Regarding the objectionable features of the game itself, Mir Emmons says the game must be a rough ofie and may be a brutal one. But roughness. he declares, is only objectionable in so far as 1t leads to serious injury. As for brutality intentional, vicious rough ness, that is objectionable at all times. The playing rules must be reformed, but no amount of reform can accom- plished anything until the rules are ef- fectual and better provision for their enforcement made.
 As remedy for brutality" the pen alty should be immediate disqualifica- ton for the game This disqualified ton shoulud last for year at least, unless revoked by the athletic commit tees of the two colleges. "* Of course no amount of ruling will do away with viciousness. That can only be done by the spirit of fair play instilled into the men by the captains and the coaches"

Was a Wonderful Race.

New York, March 7-Ex-C Commodore J. D. Smith when asked to-day what he thought of the yacht Ailsas perform ance at Cannes said: q think it is simply a wonderful one. It is a great triumph for Designer Fyfe to build a boat that can beat the Britannia the first time her racing canvas is stretch ed. Under the terms of the challenge for the Americas cup she can, if they so desire in England be substituted for VaQkyrie III. In the event of Valkyrie III not coming up to anticipations the Aflsai will. no doubt be elected to do bat tie for the cup. I have great faith in the Herreshoffs, however"

4 FINE EXHIBITLON.
Dixon Had an Easy Time With Sam
 BOlin.

New York, March 1.-The New York Athletic club held special boxing exhibition tonight. The gymnasium was crowded to it's utmost capacity. The first pair upon the stage were J. McGowen and J. Hicks. It was cy- clone fight and in the second round McGowen put his man out. The second bout was between M Ryan and Joe Tonks. It was a case of slugging from start to finish. The fight ended in a knockout in the second round for Ryan.
 Then a battle royal followed between four colored men-Miles, Gumbor, Slops and Mudd-and the exhibition they gave was disgraceful.
 Then came a four-round contest at catch-weights between J. Ross and F. Johnson, both colored. The latter was then more scientific and had the best of the contest. The next bout was between G. Bassell and J. Murphy. They were both stiff fighters. but Mur- phy punished Bassel1 all over the stage and had his face covered with blood. Murphy was given the decision.
 Chuck Connors, the born comedian, and Connie Sullivan, the 105 pounder, gave a friendly three-round contest.
 The final bout was between George Dixon, the featherweight champion .of the world, and Sam Bolin, a well known lightweight in colored circles. It was six rounds at catch-weights. Dixon weighed 124 pounds and Bolin 12S Tn the first round Boln acted on the defence, forcing Dixon to do all the fighting and there was very little hard fighting done. In the second round Dixon landed with his left on Boiin's mouth. The latter soon cross-countered Dixon heavily on the mouth. Dixon was the aggressor and forced Bolin to retreat all over the stage.
 Dixon forced the fighting in the third and chased Bolin all over the stage, punching him at will with both left and right
 Tn the fourth round Dixon punched Bolin with both hands and got away without return The champion forc- ed the fighting all through the round and had the best of it. but Bolin fought back manfuIly. The manner in which Dixon planted his left freely on Bolin's face in the fifth round without re- turn showed that he had the latter at his mercy. In the sixth round Dixon forced the fighting in such a spirited manner that he had him on the run.
 Bolin fought back in great shape, but Dixon finally got the decision.

 Largely Attended.

 Foods should be studied carefully, and she declares that a chef is as much an artist as painter or a sculptor. At the conclusion of the lecture many prac- tical questions were asked.

READING ALOUD.

Among the accomplishments which
girls may cultivate TO advantage. none
surpasses that of reading aloud To the
satisfaction of others. 1t is singular
that more Of us do not acquire tbis
delightful art. / do not mean that
we should become elocutlonists. or
stndy to be proficient in dramatic
effects; / simply advise girls who wish
to give pleasure TO their families and
friends to practice the art of reading
intelligently, in clear and distinct
voice, pronouncing their words plain
ly, giving each sentence its full mean
ing, and being careful not to drop the
voice too suddenly at the end of
paragraph.
It is so natural TO let the voice fall
too much and too far at the close OF "a
paragraph, that those who wish 20 be
heard make point of learning how
to use the rising infection not 10 the
degree which implies interrogation,
but, so TO speak, leaving off with
tones on the lever, so that tho voice
carries well across the room.
During vacation you will have OPP
portunity to exercise this gilt n YOU
possess it. Half a dozen girls may
enjoy the same story If one reads
aloud while the others listen. The
dear auntie whose sight is failing, and
who is hidden by the doctor to rest
her eyes, will be very much obliged
to you if you will read TO her ain hour
or more a day at intervals, as she and
you may find conveniont.-Hu rpcr's
