the gridiron between the Varsity and Cox
lege football elsvens Of Stanford UniEer-
sity.
The game was 8 disappointment in
many respects 70 the deyotees of the in
fated sphere. Many of the Stanford
best men were not present and Cross, the
celebrated coach from Yale, who was ad-
vertised to be present ana participate in
the game, was conspic uous by his sb-
sence.
The playing was slow throughout the
ane, the enthusiasm which usually
charaeterizes contests of this character
being noticeably absent This may, per-
rs ps, be attributed to the day, which was
not an i'd esl one for football, the weather
being triae too warm for good playing.
During the game several men were in
iured, not seriously, but enough so they
had to retire from the field. and their
places were flied by substitutes
The game resulted in victory for the
Varsity eleven, the score standing st the
end Of the second half u 10 0 in their
favor.
Stanford day, which was the last day Of
the county fsir, closed this evening with 5
grand concert st the pavilion. There was

suffered by the fact that since 1873 the
control Of the coinage Of silver had been
restricted to the Government. By means
OF another chart he demonstrated that the

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 3.
The forest fires in Sierra Madre Noun
tsins, north from Pasadena and shout
twenty miles from this city, are raging
with unabated fury. 1t is now known
that there are two separate and distinct
lines of flames One of these Is almost
directly north from Pasadena, the other is
farther TO the east and in an entirely
separate group of mountains. with s fer
tile and weIl-cultivated valley between.
All manner of reports have been in cir
culation here to-day as to the destruction
wrought By these fires One was TO the

Mountain had been or was about TO be con-
sumed. 4 telephone message from the
Echo Mountain House late tonight indi-
Gates that the danger there is past. the fire
being far to the north and east. Scores OF
people have gone 10 the scene of the con-
hsgration, which st night forms grand
and awe-inspiring spectacle.
The Pasadena ire-fghtsrs were unable
70 make any head against the foe to-day.
but renewed their efforts tonight. The
entire Pasadena watershed has been de-
nuded of every combustihle substance, and
the gravest apprehension is felt as TO the
result of the first heavy rains following
this confagration.
The heat from these fires, located as
they are at great altitude from the val
Ieys, has been felt TO an unpleasant de-
gree az many towns along the line OF the
Santa Fe Railroad between here and San
Bernardino. These are MonrovIs, Glen
dors. Azusa, Lordsburg. North Ontario
and Old Cucamonga. As on yesterday
the IRE is travelling TO the eastward, leay-
ing the whole region black, charred and
smoIdering landscape. Ranchers and bee
raisers are fleeing in everv direction, after
burying their personal effects or putting
them into caves.
