goes without saying, and it is needless to
tell of the quality of the races which are

of the season for the reason that the man.
agement is planning to make the event
one which will be long remembered. Al
ready many entries have been made, and
with the purses as arranged you may well
expect a lively lot of races.
Round trip tickets, including an adj
mission to the park, are on sale at many
of the Boston and Maine stations which
will be good going only October 18th to
%, inclusive. Inquire of ticket agents
for information. ~

ing Amherst 3S to 0. The home team
showed plainly the good effects of the
practice of the last few days in fast.
snappy offensive work and stronger in
reference Harvard had the game all
her own way, but in the first half mar
rowlv escaped being scored against
through blocked kick by Amherst The
latter got the ball only thirty yards from
Harvard goal, and with all the energy
which it was capable, forced back the
crimson line directly under it's goal to it's
five yard line. There Amherst lost the
ball on downs and it was punted out of
danger.
Harvards offensive play. especially in
the second half was fast and precise. It's
defensive was strong except at center
where Burden, who is Doucettes substi-
tute, was the one vulnerable point. The
great work of the day was done by Dib-
blee, who made several sensational runs,
one of fifty five yards, demonstrating his
phenomenal powers of lodging and head
work in keeping behind his interferences.
In the first half Harvard played punt
ing game and in the second rushed the
ball with irresistible power. The line UP
