VAMPIRES WILL
 PLAY FOOTBALL
LOVERS OF THE ASSOCIATION
 GAME ORGANIZE.
Practice Will Begin on the Alameda Ground as Soon as the Cricket
 Season Ends.

At a meeting of the Vampire Associa- tion Football Club held Tuesday the fol- lowing officers were elected for the sea- son of 1S9S-99: President. T. Turner; vice presidents, R. B. Hogue, George Theobald and J. s. Webster; captain, G. T. &. White; vice captain, J. McGraw; e.1ecu- tive committee, Fame Sewell, J. M. Pun nett, c. P. Coles, T. w. G. Wallace and J. J. R. Peel; secretary and treasurer, J. D. Robertson.
 The club will play on the Webster street grounds of the Alameda Cricket Club at Alameda, and will pay small rental for the privilege of using the grounds until the end of March, 1899. So soon as the cricket season is ended the secretary will issue notices to the Vam- pires to be present at the first practice game of the season. The uniform of the black vampire upon the left breast and a black sash two and half inches wide over the right shoulder to the left hip, black knickerbockers and stockings. Among the players during the coming season will be those whose names have been already mentioned, and the follow ing new members: c. Rieveley, W. w. derson, L. Chaldecott, F. c. Drifheld. H. Bowen, G. H. N. Sexton, T. Turner, H c. Cassidy and several others. Last sea- son the club numbered about twenty-five but it is expected that this number will be considerably exceeded during the com ing season.
 The chief feature of association football as distinguished from the Rugby or in- ter-collegiate game is that no one except the goal-keeper is permitted to touch the ball with his hands. the penalty for handling the ball being a free kick for the opposite side. The game is consequent ly very open and fast one, of which dribbling Is a leading feature. Its votar- ies claim for 1t that it Is much more gen timely football than other forms of the game in vogue.

A Montpelier court has had to decide
a suit between Saint Anthony and Saint
George. A rich manufacturer of the
town wished to erect a chapel in mem
ory of his dead son and to dedicate it to
his patron. Saint George. He arranged
with the prior of a neighboring convent
TO contribute $4,000 francs for the build
ing. The prior thought he could do a
stroke of business by interesting in the
work the devotees of Saint Anthony OK
Padus. and on the completion of the
chapel, though IL was dedicated TO
Saint George, the statue placed over the
entrance was that of Saint Anthony.
The manufacturer objected; the prior
would not give way; the matter was
taken into court, and writ OF election
has been issued against the statue OF
Saint Anthony.

NEWPORT.

Steamer City of Newport. which left
Providence for Newport at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. had quite an
eventful trip. When off Rocky Point
she ran into a fog, which. by the time
she reached Prudence Park, was SO
dense that IL was impossible for the
lookouts to see more than a length of
the boat ahead. The wind was blowing
from the southwest, and with the dense
fog the steamer had difficulty in locat-
ing her pier. which at last was reached
after a wait and back up OF a short
distance ut $3.50 o'clock.
After leaving Prudence Park all went
well until the northwest end Of the
training station was reached. when she
ran aground. The steamer WAS pro-
ceeding slowly at the time and went on
so easily that some of the passengers
were not aware that anything was
wrong until she stopped. Then some
of the feminine portion showed little
nervousness, which, however, was
quickly overcome by the assurance that
there was no cause for fear.
The officers. through the assistance of
the apprentice boys on the island, got
word to the steamboat company's office
at Newport for aid. While waiting for
the Baltimore. which is retained there
to carry visitors to and from the war
ships, TO arrive, the crew began shifting
the cargo to the stern of the boat. This
being accomplished. the engines were
again started, and amid a round of ap-
plause the boat was backed off. She
then proceeded TO Newport under her
own steam. The Baltimore was met off
Gull Rock, and, learning that all was
well. also returned to her dock, which
was reached at $3.50 o'clock.
