wore a ligtlt-brown oyercoat and was, TO all
appearance, q swell Of the first order. He
had a light mustache, blue eyes and carried
cane.
The young lady and her sister were down
in the basement taking lunch when the
young swell" passed by and happened TO
see the girls. He spoke, but was unrecog-
nized by the ladies, who were confident they
had never met the man. After finishing
the lunch the girls returned to their exhibit
and were much surprised when the man
put in his appearance and at once began
10 make overtures as though an acquaint-
ance.
The climax was reached when the swell"
asked the young lady for a hairpin or
'just anything to remember you by" At
this Miss Puthoff drew back her pretty.
dimpled hand and let go. She landed square
on the ''would-be" Washers cheek. At
this a crowd gathered around, but before
q guard arrived the man had disappeared.
AN exposition detective was detailed to
find the man, but his search proved fruit

The same Old Saturday crowd went over
to tue Alexander Island race track yester-
day and they journeyed home with much
tue same hard luck story that has been
their portion for the past six months of
Saturday afternoons.

his bank roll. AS rule he either walks
the bridge or is forced to stand off the

only two lone favorites succeeded in getting

was a dispute over a point, and time was

favor Of the Columbus, as decided by the
referee.
Capt. Wells, who was referee in the half
Just mentioned, was seen late last night
He stated that his decision had not been
disputed and In substance gave the point
in question and his reason for the decision,
which was accepted as fair one.
The play was as follows: With the ban
only half yard from the goal line, Clarke
fell on # and called down" The Orioles
claimed he did not call down" and took
the ball for four yards, which was NOS
allowed.
The ball was brought back to its original
position and the referee ordered play"
and upon no move being made to do so, even
after he gave the usual three-minute limit
notice, and the Culumbias having lined up,
they pushed the ball over for a touchdown.
and it was rightly allowed, and the score
stood IL to 10 in favor of the ColumbiaS
