Robert J. and John II. Gentry ON Exhibition
In Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 27.-A match race
took place at Cumberland Park to-day between
Robert ]. and John II. Gentry. Tho weather
was delightful. tho track fast, ana the cxhibi-
ton was witnessed by 1000 persons. Neither
of the horses was up to u bruising race and con-
siderable disappointment was man tested by the
crowd. The match was limited to the two best
in three heats. The first heat resulted In Either
an easy victory for John Il. Gentry. Tho two
raced as a team until well into the stretch, when
Robert J. broke hndly, John X. Gentry winning
we'll in hand in 2:O7la.
Tho second heat was faster. being paced in
2:O5a. John II. Gentry went 10 the front soon
after the start and led into the stretch. where
Robert J. moved up a. little: but the pace was
too hot and he went into the air again, passing
under the wire a couple of lengths behind on q
run. The two horses were then hitched double
and an attompt was made to lower the team
record. Both horses were very unsteady and
broke repeatedly while scoring. After vainly
endcavorins to steady the pair, Driver Bone
gave up in disgust. Robert j. was quite me
after his two heats, and IL was plainly evident
that he was in no condition to do himself justice.

but II more careful inspection disclosed no
fracture of tho DO es. but that h 8 ankle had

as a sprain and will keep De Silver out OF the

may be unable to play at all again this season.
The aftcrnor ms work was bout tho same as
that taken on the pr ceding d y. For an hour
or more Coach Woodruff instructed the men In
quick formations of attack and how to play
positions when on the defensive. at the same
time thoroughly rchcarsing the signals. In the
signal practice all the varsity players were in
their regular positions except Outland, Jackson,
and Minds. Jackson and Outland were not on
the field during the afternoon, while Minds spent
the entire time until tho lineup for a pract CO
game with the scrubs in catching punts. His
work in this respect shows little Improvement,
and unless he plays n surcr game in receiving
kicks in the important contest this defect Will
prove fatal. The attempt to arrange a game be-
tween the Cornell freshmen and the Pennsyl-
vnnia freshmen has been unsuccessful so far.

HARVARD, %; SEwTowNE A. c.. o.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 27.-Harvard de.
fcatcd the Newtownc Athletic Club this after.
noon by u score OF D. to o. The game was unin-
tcresting from start to finish. and elected no
enthusiasm from the spectators. CAPT. Cabot
did not play. He sent into the field n team made
up largely Of substitutes. Norton. Shaw, Bouvc.
Donald, and Moulton watched the game from
the side lines. Haskell played right guard in
last half. Harvard played very poorly. and IL it
had not been for the fact that tho crimson
eleven had a very weak team to oppose there 10
little doubt but that Harvard would have been
poor, but the puntins showed much improve
ment. Harvard made nearly all its gains on
Warren's timely kicking. Boal, Parker, Dib.
blee, and Haskell played the best game for Har-
ward. and Davis. Newell, and Minot Weld for
Newtownc. Harvard could make no gains around
right end, for Gcrrish Newell, the old Harvard
END and brother of Mac Newell, covered that po-
sition.
In tho first half Harvard started a rushing
game, quickly sending sullivan and Boal over
the line for Two touchdowns. Cochrane kicked
both goals. Newtowno could not hold Harvard,
and were pus ed over like SO many tenpins.
The third touchdown was mado by DIbbleo Just
before time was called. He got througI the
II wonty-ivc-yard dash for u touchdown. Coch-
ranc kicked goal.
In the second half Newtowno took n great
brace. Harris took. Watson's place at full back
For Harvard, Boal took Wheeler's place at left
tackle and Sargent went in ut left guard. New.
towne sent DAVIS around the end for thirty
yards and then Jackson and Harris wero sent
through centre for short gains. This lively pace
aid not last long. Jackson's punt was blocked
ana Sargent got the ball. In u few minutes
more Harvard had rushed the ball well toward
the Newtowne go ]. Then Boal went through
tho Ncwtowne line for II touchdown. Warren
failed TO kick goal. Time was shortly called.

The Dead of the War.

From the records of the war de.
partment corrected to date, by the in
vestigations of the Pension office, il
is ascertaiped now that out of the
100000 union soldiers of the late
war the aggregate number of deaths
was 900, o,so7. While 6ho58 men were
killed outright in action and 42,58I
died OF wounds making total Of 100,
6So, more than double that number
died of disease or to be exact, 224,
$50. 1t is worth noting that out OF
the more than 100000 individuals
who were In the service from first to
last, only a67 men were executed for
crimes by the United States military
authorities. Soon after the war the
government took measures to identify
the vast army of dead and mark their
graves. Seventy-six national GENE.
teries were established throughout the
union, including one in the city Of
Mexico, where the dead of the Mexi-
can war lie buried. They are mostly
on Southern prisons, Arlington, the
most beautiful of all, being opposite
the capital on old Custer Lee planta
tion. In these over $4,000 soldiers
graves are marked.

An engineers watchfulness averted

Thursday Chief Of Police Pusey ar

where the switch had been tampered
with, between Danvile and Catawissa,
the railroad skirts the Susquehanna
River. The engineer saw the danger
barely in time to avert catastrophe.
Had the train run throuh the switch
it would have gone into the river,
and many lives would probably have

Southern Iron Mills Have All the Trade
They Can Handle.

Employees of iron and steel plants
in the South are getting more work
just now than they have for the past
three years, and most of the mills
have orders enough ahead to last
them for the next three months.
Such, in brief, is a statement made
by President M. M. Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers, who has just returned
from trip through the mill districts
of the South. He visited the mills in
and about Cincinnati, Riverside,
Covington, Newport, Birmingham,
Admission and Gate City, The mills
in all these places are running full
time, and have all the trade they can
conveniently handle.
