In New Farce at the Hyperion Last
 Night.
 Miss May Irwin, the radiant, the TO- tund, the magnetic, the woman whose style never changes and whose popu- larity never wanes, paid her annual visit to this city last night and was be- held by large assemblage at the Hy- perion theater in a new farce entitled Kate Kip, Buyer" by Glen MacDon- ough. The company numbered several old favorites, among them MT. Sparks, the excellent Irish comedian, and MT. Martinetti, an admirable farceur, and among the women Mime. Pillar Morin and Miss Burby. But the company makes little difference and play even less. May Irwin's the thing! She sang coon songs and she told stories, and the audience was delighted. Still, it did seem a little as though there were cer- tain signs that the coon song is very nearly sung out. What will the next fad be?

MUCH IMPBoVEMENr MADE
Practice Game at Yale Field Yesterday
 Quite Encouraging.

Quite Encouraging.
 The practice game at Yale field yes- terday afternoon between the unlver- sity eleven and the college eleven was much more satisfactory to all interest ed than was the one of Monday. More life and snap was put into the work and the men went at it as if they fully realized how much of brace is neces- sary before the team will play fast enough game to win from West Point on Saturday, Doubtless the presence of Charles Chadwick and F. w. (Kid) Wallace 'S9 had considerable to do with the increased energy of the men, Both of these coaches gave the men valuable points. The university team was una ble to score on the college team all though they had the ball on the five yard line several times. The college team played kicking game throughout and Beard at fullback did some good bunting. He got the ball away well and for much difference each time. Of the men on the hospital list Benjamin and Marvin were both out in suits, but did not play, in fact none of the men who played in the Indian game, with the exception of Sullivan, played on the university team yesterday. It is expected that several more of the men 1 nd mi, 1ic.t xxyi1 loa l,J to resume practice to-day and hard work preparatory to the West Point game be indulged in.

HAN V A1tD rooIbAlIL [ TINAC11Ch.
 Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 25.-The prac- tice of the Harvard varsity eleven was long and fast to-day, and while the men were all worked hard, no one was in jured.

Boal, Hallowell and Burnett were also missing from the varsity while Sawin took Daly's place at quarter in the sec ond half. Dibblee was again in the practice and made a number of long runs. Trainor was tried at right guard in the guards back formation and ran very well with the ball. Secret practice will probably begin tomorrow.
