YALE'S TRUE GRIT.
May Challenge oxford Alone if Harvard
 Backs Out.

NEW HANEN, June 2l.-Thrrr is n prob ability that Yale will challenge Oxford alone if necessary to bring about an in tcrnational athletic contest in America this fall. Captain sheldon wrote to liar ward several days ago asking what they proposed tn do, but has received no reply as vet. In case Harvard refuses to accept the challenge Yale will probably challenge Oxford alone to an athletic contest in America.
 There is a strong feeling among Yale men in favor nf this course. They believe that should Harvard withdraw it will be mt because of her sympathy for the Uni vrrsity of Pennsylvania, but in order to widen the breach between her and Yale. On this account, it is said, the university will want to sec an international contest under any circumstances.

night yesterday, and made away with
Mr.. Warren's gold watch, a valuable
timepiece, and Mrs. Warren's pocket
book, containing $3.50 The mdhod
employed by the burglars was audacious
enough. There were two OF them and,
after entering the house, one stumbled
. and the consequent noise awakened Mrs.
Warren, who Immediately called her
husband. Before Mr.. Warren had time
to act however, the "black masks" ad-
vised caution and quiet, saying that no
harm would be done IL the money and
valuables in the house were given up.
What was stolen was found in the
bureau, and then the burglars invited
Warren to escort them out, which she
condescendingly did at the terror of
her life.
The police of the Sixth District, who
were Immediately notified, were very
retient about the matter, and the report
was not given out until late this after

AN ANTIQUITY.
Dug Out of the Earth Near Roger
Williams Park.

Thomas Cunningham, one OF the la
borers at work on the new street being
made opposite.t the Broad street entrance TO
Roger Williams Park, dug up something
interesting this morning.
When his shovel struck something
hard he thought he had hit Captain
Kidd's treasure. His fellow workmen
gathered about Thomas and helped clear
the dirt from about the hard object.
What looked like a big brown stone was
disclosed TO view and the more the dirt
was dug away the more like some sort OF
a queer pot it looked. Finally it was
pulled out.
1t proved indeed to be pot OF some
sort and purpose. II was of ellipitical
shape, something over Is inches in one
diameter and about half as long across.
1t was roughly hewn out of some stony
substance and had handles, rudely
carved. It's bottom indicated that II had
been over a fire and its inner surface was
smooth with use.
1t was not full OF gold-only full OF
mud.
Maybe IL Is an Indian pot. People
who know about such things are invited
TO inspect IL in THE NEWS window.
