LEGAL Athletes.

Yesterday was a red-lettor day among the
hardy amateur athletes who believe In active
opoD-air work at all seasons and In all temper
atures. Although the boys were prepared to
bravo tho clements rather than lose their favor
ito appetizer, the weather god smiled on their
outings and the conditions we're almost ideal Tor
n canter over hill and dale.
The principal turnout was under the popular
cherry diamond banner and there was q big
muster at Columbi Oval AROUND noon. Twenty
three enthusiasts left the Grand Central Depot
for Williamsbridge on tho 11:15 o'clock train
and were soon In trim to start of in two packs
over a trail laid by Gabe Hollander and c. II.
Herche. Tho latter pair, laden with their SACKS
of chopped paper, created a sensation among tho
rural urchins, who hailed them as late repro
scntatiyes Of Santa Claus ut first and then
pelted them with any handy missile when moth

the, pack came straining along Ct q lively pace:
pressed by j. Hess and W. c. Hcnsel OF the
same club, with j. Ieebach of the Seavicw Har-
riers racing at the heels Of tho trio.
The rest finished "all Of u heap In every
sense of tho word, and a comparison OF notes
disclosed the fact that the first lot to finish had
cut home straight from the reservoir in mis-

clarendon and his followers. who had gone the

While all this was going on n later train

lop on their own account, and the ontire party
was then RECALLED with turkey and coffee.

Nearly 1000 Association football enthusiasts
stood on tho open field Of Cosmopolitan Park,
East Newark. for two hours yesterday after
noon and kept themselves warm by shouting for
their favoritcs in tho great match game be-
tween tho Arlington Athletic Association and
the Kearny Athletic teams. Tho teams have
played twice before this season. each game rs.
sulting in q tie. The kickoff was at 3 o'clock,
and for forty.lve minutes, during tho first half,
neither team could score a goal. although the
ball was often in jeopardy. Both teams played
n fast and scientific game. the defence on each
side being especially good. In the second
half the Arlington A. A. made its first
goal two minutes after play began. Will
Moore, the centre forward. making the play
during a IN lss scrimmage in front of the Kear-
ny goal posts. Three minutes later tho A.. A.
A. secured another goal on n similar formation,
Bryson. one Of tho substitute players, heading it
through the posts In excellent style. Less than
a minute after the second goal Ferguson shot a
beauty in u rush down tho field that bowled tho
Kearny backs over in great style, scoring the
after play began. This was fast work. and the
rooters OF the Kearny Athletic team shouted in
chorus for their men to brace uD. Tho response
was grand. and the already fast pace Of tho
players became fierce. neither side being able to
score thereafter for twenty minutes, when
Ward OF the kearnys made o beautiful good
kick while running at full speed down the field.
This was the only gol tho kearnys could secure.
and when the whistle blew for darkness the
score was Arlington A. A. 3, Kearny Ath-

The discretion of a Judge in a natu-
ralization case may wisely give the
United States the benefit Of the doubt
as to the expediency of granting citi-
zenship. A judge III a western state
rejected twenty-one out Of thirty-four
applicants because they were ignorant
of American institutions and princi-
pies, beside showing, in some instances,
an inability to read, write or speak
with a proper facility. These appli-
cants for full citizenship were not able
to stand the test Of simple questions.
Some Of the answers were mere traves-
ties on information. One said the high
est officer of the state was "the car"
while another thought the chief official
of the nation was the White House.
In former days, when an indiscriminate
granting of the privileges Of citizen
ship was regarded, in some commune
ties at least, as a matter OF course, it is
possible that all of these applicants
might have succeeded. Happily the
country is now alert and protests
against such folly.

The collapse Of a trust was signal
lied recently by a drop Of more than
thirty per cen in the quoted price of
steel rails. The manufacturer who
made the first cut, an owner Of many
blast-furnaces and rolling-mills, had
just formed an alliance with the own
er Of numerous iron-mines. But the
furnaces were in Pennsylvania, while
the mines were in Minnesota. How,
after the ore had been carried halfway
across the continent, could the manu-
featured article be sold for less than
the product of Pennsylvania mines,
smelted and milled at home? Several
factors enter into the explanation. In
the first place. the ores mined in the
lake region"-Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin-are rich in iron, COM
paratiyely free from deleterious sub
stances. such as phosphorus, and soft
enough to be easily smelted.

members Of the Chicago woman's club
10 wear birds or their plumage on hats
and bonnets- The club has practical
ly declared a boycott against the fash
ion and entered on a campaign OF edu-

efforts 10 the creation OF a settled pub
lie opinion adverse TO the bird-Wearing
fashion, which is highly commendable.
