I'm and around New York have some
very strong clubs, the metropolitan dis
trict being represented by no less than
three in the league. They are Columbia
university, the College OF the City OF
New York and Stevens institute OF Ho-
boken, N. j.
The two strongest clubs in the Unit
ed states are undoubtedly the Crescent
Athletic team of New York and Lehigh
university. The defeat Of the latter by
Johns Hopkins in the intercollegiate
series is generally regarded among
students of the game as being In the
nature of a fluke and in no manner
proof of the superiority OF the Maryland
institution. The Crescents defeated the
I .ehigh college men in a well fought con-
test last month and consequently are
regarded as the strongest aggregation OF
p,ayers In the United States. They have

ed i'm business in New York on their
team who were experts in their own

Lacrosse received great boom In the
United States last summer owing to the
trip OF the Crescent Athletic club team
to England and Ireland. Many clubs
and colleges which prior to that time
had taken little or no interest in the
game became enthusiastic players.
There are good many lacrosse teams
all over the country, and in Canada are
TO be found some of the finest players
in the world. Most of the larger col
leges and universities have very fair
teams. particularly the eastern insti-
tutions. There Is an intercollegiate

in first place.

Stories of the storms fury and the
ruin which it spread along Georgia's sea

The wind and sea combined to make a
grand and furious dlsp ay of natures

ands of d liars worth of property and
destroyed many lives, the wind sweeping
far inland and leaving wreck and desola-
ton in its path.
Brunswick, Savannah, Darien and the

Brunswick especially was the storm
severe. The loss OF property in that city
is variOusly estimated at from three
hundred thousand to half million dol>
lars, while the loss of life is vet to be
summed up. The streets of the CITY were
inundated to depth of eight feet, more
than sixty business houses on the main
streets being flooded. Horses and cattle
were drowned railroad tracks washed
up, wharves wrecked and vessels an
chored in the harbor thrown high and
dry on the land.
On Egg island James Stockley and

safety. The water rose and drowned Mrs.

tore his wife's body from his hands and

As 70 THE AMENDMENTS.

The greatest surprise of the election
was the strength Of the opposition to
the constitutional amendments pro-
viding for the election of Judges and
solicitors by the people. Those who
posed as party leaders were on record
as favorable to the amendments, and a
close vote was not expected by them.
just what it is attributable to IS hard
to tell, but The News does not believe
that it is because the people do not
want change in the mode of electing
these officers. We are inclined to
agree with Mr.. duRignon that the
voters resented the idea of the iudici-
airy being named on the state ticket.
the impression being that it was an at
tempt to dictate to the people of the
several circuits, who ought to have
the privilege of selecting their own
officials.
If the amendments have been lost
