Street, opposite Girard, on last night.
The principals, in the affair, Were
Samuel Brown and Belle Dutton
Belle lives at No. IS Girlrd Sire,
sam, called. He wS5 longing for some
thing exciting to occur, and finally.
started in himself to laisc the desired
excitement.
He began by calling the inmates every
insulting name he could think Of, then
he attempted to turn the room upside
down, and finally picked up Bellies new
hat, which was lying on Il table near
him, and tore it to pieces.
Belle stood his abuse until she saw
her new hat in ruins, then she started
for an officer. Sam, who did not enjoy
the idea OF spending the night in the
Hall, started after her. lie caught up
with her on Orange street opposite
Grard, and struck her over the eye. lie
then kicked her until she was unable to
rise. During the time he was kicking
her, Belle kept calling for help. But,
although she raised considerable racket
no one came.
Mr.. Phalcn, an cmploye OF the post
office, heard the cries, but being very
busy he at first paid no attention to
them. When they continued, however
he went out to investigate their cause
He found Belle lying on the pavement
and helped her to her home.
Sergeant Black has Il warrant for Sans
arrest, but has not yet apprehcnded his
man. Belle is IN Il serious condition and
DR.. Elbcr says that her condition is the
result of the injuries received at the

gets as much money for fighting in this
country as he did in Australia he will
never fight.

Miscellaneous.

The Princeton students are very much
IN favor OF the renewal of an athletic
agreement with the Quakers, and at this
lime it is thought the faculty will not
stand in the way of it. If Harvard does
not play the Tigers next year the renewal
with Pennsylvania will be the only sen.
sible thing that can be done. 1t is ex-
pected that Pennsy would be willing to
come to an agreement with Princeton,
but the action of the advisory board is
necessary before any arrangements can be
made. The beginning of the Tigers peace
negotiations with the Quakers will be in
the arrangement of the base ball schedule
for next season. Manager Wilson, of the
base ball team, wants to play Pennsy,
and will tell the advisory board SO at the
proper time. 1t is expected that the ad-
visory board will break the ice, and the
agreement for the foot ball struggle will
follow.
"Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt" says the
yachting World" of November 10,

for four months cruise in the Mediter-
ranean. The yacht was docked last

She is due at Marseillcs on December 10,
where Mr.. and Mrs Vanderbilt will en-
bark" The Catania is owued by the
Duke of Sutherland, and is 2O3 feet long,
26.7 feet beam and 1886 feet deep. She
was built in Glasgow two years ago.
There are no fewer than twenty-three
candidates practicing for positions on

The Harvard lacrosse team has written

Tuscarawas, is wintering at his father s
farm, in Oxford Township, south Of
Canal Dover, Ohio. The big base ball
factor in the Cleveland team splits rails
and helps his father on the farm to keep
his muscles in trim.
Hanlon is not disturbed about the re-
ported intention of Catcher Robinson
and Third Baseman McGraw to quit the
game. He says neither Of these players
have intimated such thing to him, and
that he never crosses a bridge before he
comes to it.
| 1t is understood that George Davis,
who has been engaged to coach the
Columbia University base ball team, also
received offers from Yale University and
the Detroit Athletic Club.
Ed Mexican, the Cleveland shortshop,
and Martin Muldoon will engage in a
wrestling match at Warren, Ohio, De-
cember 4.
There is good deal OF talk OF Anson be-
coming the manager Of a Western League
team in case he is not to remain with the
Chicago Club, but it is hardly likely that
he will have to leave the League for lack
Of opportunity to secure a satisfactory
engagement. Incidentally, "they say"
that Chicago is big enough for two teams,
and that Western League franchise
may be located in that city. 1t is all
talk, however, as long as A. c. Spalding
and A. c. Anson are away where they
cannot be seen.
II some good Atlantic League players
are not asked to resign with their clubs

Evangelist "Billy' Sunday has issued
card to the Chicago public i'll which lie
extols Anson's management. He says
Anson's age has nothing to do with the

trouble and other serious diseases is that
riders have to ride faster during the post
cycling season in order to keep warm
and in doing so become winded at the
outset. II riders would only ride slowly
at the beginning OF the run and take
hills easily they would gradually become
warm enough to ride comfortably and be
able to keep their mouths closed
Chicago has a new bicycle ordinance
which should prove good thing. 1t
provides that wheelmen running into
and injuring citizens must dismount,
ascertain the extent OF his victims in
juries and render all the assistance in his
power. If the offending cyclist fails to
do this, or gives fictitious name and
address, he is guilty of misdemeanor,
punishable with fine of $40.
The French cycle racing men now in
this country have gone to Saratoga to
train for the coming races at the Garden.
Rivierre quit after riding couple Of
hours in the twelve hour race at Atlanta,
won by Miller, but secured the benefit of
a little canter preliminary to the six day
event, which he is to compete in.
Now that he has disposed OF all pres
ent American aspirants for middle dis
tance honors, Michael, the midget Won
der, is reported to be anxious to take
them on again, two at a time, his two
competitors to race in relays.
Forty entries have been accepted for
the six-day bicycle race which is to be-
gin at Madison Square Garden next Sun
day night. The number includes Il num-
Der OF veterans, several racing men Of
note, and the usual percentage OF com.
parative novices.
Fifteen of the fattcst citizens OF Brook.
lyn have organized themselves into Il
bicycle club. Each and every member
of this unique organization weighs over
POO pounds and is an enthusiastic rider
of the wheel.
Wheelmen should see that their tires
are properly and sufficiently inflated be-
fore riding on frozen roads during the
winter. On frozen roods the front tire
should not be pumped too hard. fit is,
an exceedingly unpleasant vibration
from the handlebars is felt. The tires
should always contain enough air to
keep the rim from the ground. The
slightest jar felt while riding over small
obstacles is caused by the absence of
sufficient air in the tires. Many tires
are found to be either too soft or too
hard.
The introduction of Jimmy Michael,
of Chicago, at the big race Thursday
night occasioned considerable comment
among the spectators, who have heard
of the wonderful midget only as coming
from Wales. AS matter of fact it is
said that Jimmy will permanently settle
in America. Writing to friend on the
other side Jimmy says SO because there
are far more inducements offered to a
professional rider here than in England
or France. He also says he intends rid
ing as a jockey in the early part of
spring, and is now making arrange
ments to open a cycle depot.

Legitimate.
FOOT BILL.

The Warren Foot Ball team will play
its last game of the season on next Satur-
day, when they will line up against the
Wilmington Athletic Association. 1t is
said that Jackson and Williams of the
University of Pennsylvania will play
with the latter.
Princeton and Pennsylvania may meet
on the gridiron next year. The tigers
are extremely anxious to be at peace
with the Qmkers, and during the Win
ter it is more than probable that the
necessary overturcs will be made.
Princeton's defeat by Yale this year is
greatly attributed to the weak schedule
Of the Tigers. They needed what they
did not get, a hard battle, before facing
Eli's material, and as successful oppo-
sition was unknown to them, they went
to pieces when they faced Yale's eleven.
The Tiger eleven next year will miss
the services OF Cochran, Craig, Barnard
and Reiter. All will be graduated in
June. Kelly will also finish his acade-
mic course next year, but it is thought
he will take on postgraduate course
and will play football another year.
The best ends that Princeton has at pres
ent for next year are Lathrop, who took
Cochran's place in the game with Yale,
and Palmer and Oglesby for half backs.
Ayars, Crane and G. Lathrop are the
best, but this season were rated in a
different class from Kelly, Reiter and
Barnard.
