why II should be otherwise. The people of
the United States have had abundant
time to digest the whole matter, and have
digested it. The signed treaty meets with
their fullest appreciation. There has been

no excitement. no impatience. The docu-

The Horse
In Society,"

The New York horse show will be a
bigger event than ever this season.
Society. as well as lovers OF horses,
is aoNiously looking forward 10 the an
nua1 horse show in Madison Square
Garden, which is the first big event OF
the season as a rule. It will begin this
year on Nov. 10 and continue 10 Nov.
%, inclusive.
AS a horse show it's going TO be big
ger and better than ever. it's managers
say. AS a society event IL certainly
will be one of the biggest of the sea-
son.
There will be thoroughbreds there by
the score, judged both from an equine
and a society point of view. Some Of
the thoroughbreds will wear harness,
and some will display the latest gowns
from Paris.
OF the two the chances are that the
gowns will attract the most attention.
They usually do.
But there will not be any prizes for
the gowns. and that's where the horses
will have the advantage. Premiums to
the amount OF $33, 900 have been arrang
ed and, unless something intervenes to
upset the carefully made plans, will go
to the best horses in the 10 different
classes.

1T seems almost impossible TO tell how
Harvard's season will end. Year after
year has seen her start the season with
most brilliant prospects, and year after
year. through a series Of most unfor-
tunate accidents, have the hopes OF her
supporters been dashed to the ground.
This year Harvard seems to have learn

judge of the strength OF the big college
elevens before their first games, few
words about the probable strength OF
the teams of the larger colleges does
not seem out OF place. Besides the
Big Four" there are several colleges
which promise 10 show remarkable
strength during the coming season. Cor
nell Brown, Lafayette and the Indians
last year showed surprising form FOR
the smaller institutions and TINS year
bid fair TO be even stronger.
A radical change in football policy
will be seen at Ithaca. The game is
practically i'm it's infancy there, and for
the last few years the Cornell boys
have depended mainly upon coachers
from other colleges, but Warner, cap
tain OF the famous 1894 team, assisted
by a score Of their own graduates, VIII
instill the rudments of the game into
the green men and bring the old and
tried men into a high state OF excel
lency.
Pop Warner. who has been such
successful and popular coach for the
last two years at the University OF
Georgia, is now working with the can
didates, and IL may safely be said that
If he is able to teach the guards TO play
the position as he used TO play IL few
gains will be made through the Cor
nell center. Joe Beacham, captain and
star half back of last years team and
the man who scored both the touch
downs against Pennsylvania on Thanks
giving day, is also back. No man who
wore the Cornell colors on the gridiron
ever won more honors for his alma
mater, and If he has good material to
work upon Comedians can rest assured
that this years back field will be up TO
the standard set by last years team.
Brown this year promises to have as
strong a team on the field as ever rep
resented that seat of learning. Her
work at the first OF the year is gener-
ally OF an unknown quality, but the
supporters of the brown and white are
positively assured that there will be
no reason to fear weakness in the team
this year. Although Captain Colby has
graduated, the men who are left have
imbibed his principles OF hard, fast and
tricky play.
Last year Brown gave Yale and Penn
sylvania hard games. and probably
reached her highest state of efficiency

caused so much apprehension TO the
followers Of the larger universities.

leadership Brown will certainly win
more honors.
Lafayette will again he coached by

over in favor of better kicker. a hard

The papers have been full of accounts

from and that Captain Minds team
will be fully equal 70 the famous team
Of 1894.
Although Yale has lost a great many
men by graduation, still the outlook is
not 50 dark as il would seem at first
glance. Many substitutes are back who
almost made the team last year, and.
with the experience which they have
gathered. should make very valuable
men. The illness of Captain Rogers,
coming at the opening of the season, is
indeed discouraging, but when one re-
fleets and remembers what a hardwork-
ing man Rogers was and how he al
ways had the tendency to overtrain
himself, one cannot but feel that i'm the
long run it will be an advantage 10 the
team. for by the end OF the season he
will be in good trim, owing TO the fact
that he has not had the chance TO get
stale. And then one must remember
how Yale rises after defeat.
1t is not the custom at the New
Haven university To sit and wiring the
hands after losing, but 10 move heaven

ceived. He developed the 1898 fresh
man eleven. which defeated Yale 1898
II 10 s. and the 1899 freshman eleven,
which won from Pennsylvania at
Franklin field Philadelphia. In the
training of these elevens Forbes showed
considerable talent, and for that reason
he will be head coach this year.
His own experience in college was az
captain OF the 1891 class eleven and "a
substitute end on the varsity. Even at
that time. however, he showed that he
was thoroughly acquainted with the
game. To aid him Forbes will have the
services of w. II. Lewis. Almost con-
stantly. in fact, Lewis will have charge
of most of the defensive game. Deland
will again plan new plays and Emmons
win do all that he can. Waters and the
others who have been on hand the last
few years will again do their share OF
the coaching
IL seems at first glance as though
Princeton should have less trouble in
turning out a strong team than any
other OF the Big Four but. although
she loses only four regular men BY
gradua tiun still one must remember
that the substitutes for these positions
also graduate. The class of 91 was
one of the best athlcticaly in PRINCE
tons later history. and besides the men
already mentioned half the scrub also
left. Hard luck has attended Captain
Cochran already this year. as some or
the most prominent coaches who aided
materially in turning out winning
team last year viii be unable, on ac-
count of business engagements to spend
any time at Princeton. To hll the
places Of such men as Galley, Smith.
Brokaw and Church from the material
now i'm sight without the aid OF these
coaches seems impossible.
Kelly and Barnard who played right
and LETT half back respectively last
year. are again back In college and are
likely To bc first choice again. Reiter,
one of last seasons substitutes. Is try
ing again. and Suter has been moved
from quarter to half Reid. schwartz
and sharp are also candidates FOR hair
back positions.
