An alI-star team will play the Chicago
A. A. eleven at Chicago November II,
for charity. Heffelfnger, Kelly, Smith,
Harding, "Sport' Donnelly, Phil King,
Remington and others will play on the
all-star team. Ex- Alderman John Harlan,
once famous Princeton player, will
probably play on the team.
The game between Princeton and Cor
nell today will be an excellent oppor-
tunitv for the Ithacans to make good the
claims of some of their supporters to the
effect that they are in the class with the
present Big Five, and that they should
be included with them under the title OF
the Big Five.
1t is reported in New York that col
lege foot ball league is to be formed next
season in Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-
more, Pittsburg and Chicago, and that
the National League clubs are behind the
scheme. The idea is to run the organiza.
ton on the same plans as the National
Base Ball League and pay the PLAYERS
good salaries.
The foot ball practice at the Yale field,
New Haven, Conn, Yesterday afternoon,
only lasted eighteen minutes. The lnen
who played in Wednesdays game were
all given very light work, and many
changes were made in the eleven during
the two short halves played. The vet
Grams were only allowed to play for
about minute, and then were replaced
by ''subs."
About dozen members of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania scrub foot ball team
will be taken to Cambridge Mass, with
the Varsity. This is more in the nature
of reward for their services on the scrub
than to supply any real need for substi-
tutes. As it is from the scrub ranks that
the Varsity players are recruited, the
experience OF watching championship
game is very valuable.

WILMINGTON II. s.
Warren VS.. Germantown Cricket Club

Unless all signs fail, lovers of foot ball
have treat in store for to-day. The
foot ball team of the Germantown
Cricket Club will play the Warren at
Union street grounds.
This team is composed of members of
the same organization of which the
famous cricket club of the same name is
a part. All of their games are played on
the cricket grounds at Mannheim.
They rarely play elsewhere, and con-
siderable pressure had to be brought to
bear to influence them to play in Will
mington.
The Warren deserves much credit for
giving the people OF Wilmington an op-
portunity to see this excellent team play
foot ball as college teams play the game.
Last Saturday this same club played
game with the University of Pennsvlva-
MIA scrubs. The score was 8 to 0 in
favor of University of Pennsylvania.
The points scored were made by goal
from the field Barnard, the wonderful
kicker of the U. p, did the trick. When
you consider that the scrubs this year
scored many times against tl.e Varsity
team you can realize that the German
town Cricket Club must have q strong
team when they prevented a touchdown
being scored against themselves.
This game certainly deserves Il good
attendance, and lovers OF outdoor sports
should turn cut to see the game and en-
courage the Warren team to arrange
games with similar teams. Game called
at $50.

CYCLING.

Dealers throughout the United States
evidently realize the importance OF sell
ing the cheap class of wheels. In nearly
all of the principal cities machines are
being sold at bargain counter prices.
One Chicago dealer has, by the trading.
in method, collected quantity of
"slightly used" machines, which he is
selling at $l2.95.
A cycle show, national in character,
up to date in departments and hinge
in proportions, is now being planned
for the week of January 81, 1899. to
take place in Madison Square Garden,
under the direction of the National
Cycle Exhibition Company. An attrac-
tive feature in connection with the ex-
hibition will be department for auto
mobiles.
Germany has wasted no time in giving
to the bicycle legal definition. This
came about through the existence of a
bridge where toll is charged on every
thing that passes over it, demanding that
the question should be settled at once.
And now the impost is paid for the Ger.
man cycle under the description OF
''small cattle, with driver or attendant" "
| This result seems to have been arrived at
easily, thanks to German dlrectness of
thought and action.
Experiments are being made by sew
eral manufacturers with view to the
possible substitution OF pega mold for
India rubber, in pneumatic tires. 1t is
not claimed that the new material pos
sesses elasticity, which reason may. per-
haps, preclude its extensive use for
bicycle tires, but it has been suggested
that the pliability of pegamoid might
commend it for tires for heavier vehicles,
particularly since the price of India rub
Der seems destined to 60 higher, rather
than to decline.
A strenuous effort is being made to
smash the racing mems rebellion. The
L. A. W. Racing Board Chairman an
nounces, with flourish of trumpets, that
Taylor and Kimball have applied for
reinstatement, and the President of the
racing mems new association announces,
by way of retort, that the fight is only in
it's infancy, and that the racers are in it
to the last ditch and trihe more.
During the past racing season Arthur
Gardiner won sixteen first, nine second
and four third prizes. Major Taylor and
Stevens are next in the number of first
prizes, each having won nine. Bald and
Mcfarland are next, with seven each,
Klmble six, and Tom Cooper five. In
competition Gardiner has defeated Bald
twelve times, while Bald has crossed the
tape in the lead OF the former only seven
times. Major has won more times over
every other rider, with the exception OF
Mcfarland, who defeated the colored
rider five out OF nine times.

PAR6PA ROSA.

Many years ago poor widowed wom-
an, leading q hard life Of unendiDg labor,
was called on to part With the one thing
dear to her-her only child. Mother
and daughter had toiled together for
fifteen years, and the only bit of sun
shine falling into their Ozark lives was
that shed by their loving companionship.
But the girl had always been weakly.
Under the heart-brokep mothers eyes
she faded and wasted away with con-
sumption, and at last the day came
when the wan face failed to answer with
a smile the anxious, tear blinded eyes Of
the mother. The poor young creature
vas dead.
For many months the pair had been
supported by the elderly woman's Sow
ing, and it was in the character of EN-.
ployer l had become acquainted with
Mrs. c. and her story. BY an occasional
visit to the awful heights OF an East
Side tenement. where they lived. by a
few books and some comforting words /
had won the love Of the dying girl. Her
grateful thoughts turned III her last
hours to the email number Of friends
she possessed. and she besought her
mother to notify me Of the day Of the
funeral and ask me to attend.
That summons reached me upon one
of the widest days proceeding Christ
mas. A sleet that was not rain, and a
rain that was not snow, came pelting
from all points Of the compass. 1 piled
the glowing CRATES; l drew closer the
curtains and shut out the gloom of the
December afternoon; turned on the
gas and sat down, devoutly thankful
that had cut all connection with the
wicked weather, when an instalment Of
it burst in upon me in the shape Of
Parepa Rosa. She was Euphrosyne
Parepa at that time, and the operate
idol Of the city.
And even az We congratulated our
selves On the prospect OF q delightful
day together, here came the summons
for me to go to the humble funeral Of
the poor sewing woman's daughter. l
turned the little tear blotted note over
and groaned.
This is terrible" said /. "It's just
the one errand that could take me out
today, but must CO."
And then / told Parepa the circum-
stances; and speculated on the length Of
time l should be gone, and suggested
means Of amusement in my absence.
But 1 shall go with you" said the
great-hearted creature.

stood ia the street below. and the awful
cherry stained box, with its ruffie Of
glazed white muslin, stood on uncovered
trestles in the centre Of the room above.
There was mother, epeechless in her
grief. beside that box, group Of hard
working. kindly hearted neighbors sit
ting about. 1t was useless to say the
poor woman was prepared for the in
evitable end; it was cold comfort to
speak to her Of the daughters release
from pain and suffering. The bereft
creature, in utter loneliness, was think
ing OF herself and the awful future, Of
the approaching moment when that box
and its precious burden would be taken
away and leave her wholly alone. So,
therefore. with sympathizing grasp Of
the poor. worn, bony hand. we sat silently
down to attend the funeral
Then the minister came ina dry
man, with nothing Of the tenderness OF
his holy calling. Icier than the day,
colder than the storm, he ratified through
some selected sentences from the Bible,
and offered set form of coincidence to
the broken hearted mother. Then he
hurriedly departed, while hush fell on
everybody gathered in the little room.
Not one word had been uttered OF con-
ISOLATION, OF solemn import, or BETTING
the occasion. 1t was the emptiest, hol-
lowest, most unsatisfactory moment /
ever remember. Then Parepa arose,
her cloak falling about her noble figure
like mourning drapery. She stood be-
side that miserable cherry stained box.
She looked a moment on the wasted,
ashy face, upturned toward her from
within it. She laid her soft, white hand
on the forehead Of the dead girl, and
lifted up her matchless voice in the
beautiful melody
~Angeb ever bright and fair,
Take, oh take her to thy care"
The noble voice swelled toward heaven,
and If ever the choirs OF paradise paused
to listen to earth's music, it was when
Parepa sang so gloriously beside that
poor dead girl. No words can describe
its effects on those gathered there. The
sad mourner sank on her knees. and
with clasped hands and streaming eyes
the little band stood reverently about
her.
No queen ever went 20 her grave &C.
companied by grander ceremony. To
this day Parepa's glorious tribute OF
song rings with solemn melody in my
memory as the most impressive service
ever heard.
