great match was completed yesterday
afternoon when Eddie Bald, of Buffalo, the
champion for the past three years, and Tom
Cooper, of Detroit, his greatest rival, signed
the articles of agreement that will bring
them together in d mile match race at the
Newly Oval next Friday night. 1t has been
the aim of the race meet promoters over the
entire country to get these two men togeth-
err since the racing season opened, but 1t
was not until yesterday that the arrange
ments have been so completed that the
match is assured. H. W. Foltz, chairman
of the race committee of the national meet,
and Al Reeves, chairman of the Quill Club
Wheelmen, of New York, who came on here
to assist in managing the meet, drew up
the articles of agreement in the afternoon,
with an offer of a $500 purse, providing the
men made side bet of $3.50. After the trouble
usual to matchmaking, the men were
finally induced to bet $3.50 each on themselves
and race for the $500 purse, making the en-
tire purse s., 600, which is taken entirely by
the winner, the loser getting nothing.

The entertainments at Garfield and Fair
view parks, which are scheduled for next
Thursday night, have assumed much larger
proportions than was at first proposed.
Robert Springsteen, who has charge of this
feature of the work, has arranged an elab-
crate programme for Garfield Park. In as
dition to concert which will be given by
the University of Indianapolis band, there
will be an elaborate display of fireworks
including a reproduction of the destruction
OF Cerveras fleet and the bombardment Of
Santiago. Mr.. Springsteen was so enthu-
siastic over this feature that his original
plans contemplated the killing of three or
four men for the edifcation of the visitors.
but the executive committee decided that
this would be stretching the limit in the
way of entertainment The boats which are
to be destroyed will be manned by alleged
SpanlardS. AS first arranged they were to
scatter several barrels of gasoline on the
water, set 1t on fire and then as their YES
sells were blown UP swim TO the shore: There

on Friday afternoon the Covenanter
societies from Presbyterian churches all
over the South will present to the semi

nary. and the Covenanter boys Will con-
duct the singing.
THE PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
The prospects Of the seminary in its
new home are most encouraging, and a
much larger number of students have &p-
nlied for rooms than ever before at any
time In the history Of the institution.
This is partly the result of the removal
from the former isolated location to
Richmond. now becoming so popular as
an educational centre, and, also, parity
because of the constantly increasing
renutation of the faculty of professors
as one of the ablest in any such seminary
i'm America. 1t is probable that the ne"
halls will be crowded, and that an auul-
tional building will have 10 be erected to
accommodate a still larger Increase du'
ring the next year. -
The professors. in addition to being
we'll equipped for the regular work OF

of unusual ability as preachers, ahc

TO be of very great value. The grea
