total score of Ia points, scoring three
touch downs against the home team, the
largest score ever made on the Yale
field against Yale eleven. Yale Sc
cured no more touch downs than did the
visitors, but her goal kicker, Guard Cad
wasder, was successful in trying for goal
while Hall, who made the attempt after
Brown touch downs, failed in all but
one CHARGE. Gammons and Fultz were
the twin stars of the Brown armament
Gammons got two of the visitors touch
downs, Fultz the other Each made 1t
possible by magnificent interference
for the other to gain ground effectually
and Richardson, Browns quarter, made
a run of forty yards in the last half only
because of the interference of the two
half backs who logged along down the
field by his side and brushed off the
Yale tacklers. For Yale Kiefer alone
seemed able to gain ground. Benjamin
found the Brown line an irresistible bar
and also fumbled badly. Captain
Rodgers was forced to do most of Yale's
running, but his strength gave cut in the
last few minutes ard Ccswin was the
only ground gamer left on this Yale team
at the finish.

Joliet, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-Without any prep
aaation for such a trial, Joe Patchen,
the black pacing stallion, this Afternoon
reduced the worlds pacing record to
four wheeled sulky by nearly four Sec

Ingalls, Park track, this city, before
2,700 people, who had been attracted by
the announcement that Star Pointer
would go against both the wagon and
high wheel sulky records, and that Joe
Patchen would try TO beat his own re-
cord of 2:01A
Star Pointer was lame aEd Joe Patchen
was substituted. Previous to this the
great son of Patchen Wilkes had gone
a mile In 2:02% against his own record.
A strong wind was blowing at the time.
Later he went against the four-wheeled
sulky record and the conditions were
well nigh perfect. Driven by Oscar
Ames Patchen made the circuit in 2:o4A,
reducing the record 81 seconds. In his
trial against the high wheel sulky re-
cord, 2:O61l, Patchtn went the distance
in 2:06%.

some members of a session of the board
on this subject.
We, therefore, earnestly ask your ex-
cellency to convene the state board of
health and have K modify the present
regulations. Nothing has added more
to the volume of the widespread panic
over this state of the report of few
cases of yellow fever than the knowl-
edge of thousands in healthy commune
ties that If the disease should appear
in their midst, every man who has not
the means to take his family out of the
state would be compelled to remain in

more to the public tranquility than the
knowledge that the regulations which
work these consequences have been re-
