Parkersburg, w. Va, November 28.-
The Hunter well No. on the James
Hunter farm, which IS in close prox-
unity to the big No. / well, which came
in about two weeks ago, was drilled in
yesterday evening, and is reported as
one of the best producers in the extern
sion Of the Waverly field
When the drill penetrated the sand a
few feet, the oil spurted out and the
well flowed at the rate Of 100 barrels
day. The strike Of both wells has
caused a great deal of excitement here,
as a number Of Parkersburgers have
large holdings near the wells, upon
which several wells have already been
located, and which will be drilled as
soon as the machinery can be placed
in position.
a meeting Of the McTaggart Oil Com
pany, of this city, viii be held here to-
morrow. This company drilled a Wen
some time ago on the A. i. . McTaggart
farm near WilliamstOwn. IL came in a
terrific gasses, though there was some
oil. AT the meeting tomorrow steps
viii be taken 10 drill two additional
wells on the lease. All the stockhold-
ers are in favor Of it.
The Murphy Oil COmpany's well on
the Marsh farm, about two miles above
town, about which there were many
sensational reports yesterday, has been
visited by hundreds Of people yesterday
and to-day, and the excitement is un-
abated.
There are those who believe that a
new field will be developed out there
and leases are being takn up all around
there
1t is claimed that the contractors did
not drill as deep as their contract stip-
ulated. and a suit will probably result.
The drill was sent only a short distance
into the sand, and then the machinery
was removed.
Tanks will be erected to save the oil
that is now flowing from the well, and
the company, we understand, will have
the well drilled in and shot.
William Sisk, who owns 80 acres near
the Hunter No. 2, leased it yesterday
afternoon to Wheeling parties for S125
bonus and SO per month rental.

Chicago, November 2S-The Charles
e. Duryea's gasoline motorcycle fin
ished first in the Times-He1ald contest
for prizes amounting to $500. The con-
test was in every respect the most novel
and the performance OF the winning
vehicle the most remarkable in the his
tory of the motor vehicle contests.
Monday night Chicago was visited by
blizzard of snow and slush that buried
the roads and prostrated half of the
telephone and fire alarm wires in the
city. Wednesday the weather moder-
ated, and when the races started, the
streets were twelve inches deep in snow,
slush and mud. In the face of these
odds, SIX motorcycles made the start: the
DuTyea, of Springfield, Mass; the Nor
ris and Salem Electrobat, OF Philadel-
phia; the II. Mueller motorcycle, Of De-
catur, Ills; the r. II. Macy, Of New
York; the De LaYergne, of New York,
and the Sturgis electric motorcycle, OF
Chicago. Thousands witnessed the
fight Of these vehicles against the fifty
four miles of slush which constituted
the course, from Jackson Park to
Evanston and return. 1t was consid-
cred impossible that any Of the mOto-
cycles would complete the course, and
the prediction was freely made that no
one of the contestants would make five
miles. Five Of the contestants passed
through Lincoln Park, the De Lavergne
quitting at Sixteenth street. Duryea
started at $3.50 and passed the Audi
torium, a distance Of eight miles. an
hour later. He made the finish at 7:18,
completing the course in ten hours and
twenty-three minutes.
For miles on the West Side the boule-
wards were almost unbroken fields Of
snow banks and slush.
The Morris and Salem Electobat
made no attempt to complete the course,
but made creditable run of fifteen
miles and returned to the testing head
quarters in perfect condition The
Sturgis electric motorcycle abandoned
the unequal fight after the run of twelve
miles.

4 CLEAN RECORD.
U. p. wound Up the Season by Defeating
Cornell

u. I
Cornell
Philadelphia, November 28.-The
University Of Pennsylvania football
eleven defeated Cornell 46 to ?, thus
winding up with d clean record OF Ylcto-
ries to her credit.
The touchdOwns and goal from the
field in the first half and four touch
downs a goal from the field in the second
half was the record Of the red and blue,
Cornell had to satisfy herself with
safety.
Strategic play, scientific punts, and
brilliant all round interference were thd
features of Pennsylvania game. Cor
nell's defeat can be summed up in very
few words-weak defense and still
weaker interference.
COrnells full back, Richie, was Ia
mentally weak, and an exchange Of
between him and Brooke was always
good for from ten to twenty yards gain
fer the Pennsylvania team.
There were individual players on the
Cornell team who covered themselves
with glory. Beacham. at left half
back, Fitch, at left tackle, and Sweet
land at right tackle. played brilliantly,
as did also Captain Wick0n, considering
his condition.
Pennsylvania made her gains at al
most any point which the team would
strike.
Brooke made one forty-fve yard run.
and also a seventy-fve-yard run but i'm
the latter the bah was brought back
and given to Cornell for holding. Minds
also made one run of forty-fve yards.

caught by Taussig. Farrar. at right

When the teams lined up at 2:2O H.
GOO persons had passed within the
gates. Cornell kicked off. the ball 90

ty-yard line. In just four minutes
Minds scored a touchdown, and Brooke
kicked goal
The next score was made principally
through Colbert, who, aided by fine in
reference, gained forty yards though
Minds was showed over the line for the
touchdown. Brooke kicked goal
The play then became more even. and
the ball yicillated back and forth until
Brooke secured the pig skin at Cor
nelIs 35-yard line, from which point
he kicked a goal from the field.
Ten minutes later, time for the first
half was called. Score, PENNSYLVANIA

When time was called Pennsylvania
by short rushes quickly took the ball
over the line, Dickson scoring the point
Brooke kicked goal With the spheroid
at Pennsylvania 15-yard line. Brooke
was behind the goal for a kick. He
fumbled the ball and was forced to
score a safety. The ball then worked
back and forth until Minds made a
beautiful run of 45 yards for a touch
down. Brooke kicked goal
Again Pennsylvania worked rapidly.

the progress of a church fair an i'm

city armory, when a lamp in one of the
booths exploded, setting fire to the

children were trampled. Fully 100
persons jumped or were thrown from

son, was thrown through a window.

side play the MorgantOwn boys gave
the ball to their opponents. Runs by
Barclay and Powell advanced the ball
ten yards for the Lexingtonians, but

The ball was put in play once more

they fumbled it badly West Virginia

West Virginia again tried their tactics
Of bucking centre and runs by Leps and
YOst carried the ball to their Oppo-

they dropped it and Wheat fell on it,
securing it for the Virginians. The
ball was passed to Willis, who gained
ten yards but lost the ball, and Keely,
breaking through the Virginians cen

scoring the fifth touchdown for West
Virginia. The try for goal failed and

Only three minutes remained and
each side fought hard but no decisive
gains were made by either side and
time was called at 4:10 p. m. with the
ball in West NiTginia's possession, III
the centre of the field. Score 70 TO ).
The game was hard fought and was
well contested on both sides, but the
lighter team, although with more skill
ful playing, failed to keep defeat from
the wearers of the white and blue.
It was interesting to an observer 10
watch the different games played Dy
the two teams.
The Virginians were heavily over
weighted by their opponents and tried
runs around the ends and openings
through the line.
The West Virginians depended solely
on their weights and all their gains
were by use Of it, forming a w ana
bucking their lighted opponents cen
ire which the latter could not resist.
This play is perfectly safe under the
present rules with a team which IS
much heavier than their opponents, but
with teams anything like even We-shls
West Virginia would do we'll TO lm-tate
their Virginia cousins tactics.
Taking it all in all the game was eX-
tremely cred:table for both teams.
For Washington and Lee, MitchelPs,
P0welPs and Parrish's tackling and the
all round work Of Mitchell and Jenkins,
the latter a West Virginia boy, were tha
features of the game, while South, Kee-
ly and Leps did wonderful work for the
Blue and Orange.
