Favor an international Match.

London, Dec. Gas already cabled, the
feeling in oxford athletic circles in favor
of an international varsity match next
year is very strong. In regard to the ad
mission of professionals into the amateur
ranks of the London Athletic Club, oxford
athletic men took a very decided stand
practically threatening that, if it were con-
tinued, oxford university amateurs would
withdraw and have nothing to do with the
leading amateur club, and would, so to
speak set up for themselves. Similar feel
irgs are reported from Cambridge, where
also the idea of meeting team from Yale
and Harvard finds full favor.

some time past had conducted the auc-
tion house at First and Broad streets,
was found dead in his room Sunday

ascertained that apOplexy was the
cause OF his sudden end.
Mr.. Seabright, who was an unmar-

Acree, No. 2l5 north Nineteenth St.,
and it was the latter gentleman who,
after calling outside his lodger's door
several times, entered the room and
found Mr.. Seabright lying on the floor
face downward. He had evidently
fallen dead just as he was about to re-
tire, as he had disrobed himself. The
bed, however. had not been occupied.
The Coroner, upon examining the
body, pronounced that death had been
caused by appOplexy. The deceased
had suffered from Indigestion, but
those at the house said that Saturday,
he did not complain any more than
usual. He had spoken of having a
headache during the day. 1t is sup
posed he came in about IL O'Clock al
night, though no one heard him when
he entered. A neighbor next door
