WITH THE BOWLERS

The local football season was practlcahs
wound up Saturday when the Jersey Sity
Field Club and the Carteret Field eiuo
met at the Johnston avenue grounos u
decide the championship of the county.
There was no score and the situation 10
still mixed. One thing was clearly shown
in Saturdays game, however, and that IS
that the tow teams are the best that have
been organized in this city in some time.
They are both evenly matched and botn
know the game very well. II anything the
Carterets showed up better thar the Ssr-
sey City's. The ball was most OF the tune
in the territory of the Jersey CITY team
and but for a lot of bad fumDHng there
would have been scoring. The best team
work was apparent in the ranks OF the
| Carteret team. Funibling that could not
be excused were frequent and one team
was as bad as another. The crowd was
very large and seemed to be about equally
divided in squads of rooters. A great deal
of enthusiasm was shown by the spec
tstors n at times the greatest excite
ment prevailed.
Carterets kicked off in the first half to
Jersey City's 10 yard line, where Hicks
got the ball and was nailed on his tracks.
The ball was then worked to the centre
of the field by the hardest kind of work.
A bad tumble gave the ball to the Car
terets and the team had considerable
success in smashing the right half of
Jersey City,s line. A series of smashes
at right tackle and end plays were sue
cessful generally. Burt tore off ten yards
through right tackle and Hudson added
four more around right end. He was so
good that Captain Byrne worked him
again and the big left half back made
three yards more through right tackle.
Burt then made an excellent run OF ten
yards. Johnston got two yards on an end
play and Hudson tried again, but Leo
Sullivan got through the line and pushed
Hudson back three yards. Burt was given
the ball here and made a bad tumble
on Jersey City's 10 yard line. Griffin was
on it in a flash and the Carteret's chance
was gone. The ball was worked back to
the centre of the field when the half
ended.
In the second half there was a great
deal of good playing and one disagreeable
mix up that is to be regretted. Jack
Jasper began to horse Matt Casey, who
was playing straight hootodii, UT was
greatly annoyed by Jasper. Casey decided
to return the compliment and after he had
been horsed for a few minutes started to
horse Jasper in return. The first time
Casey touched Jasper in an easy manner
the latter drew back and hit Casey hard
and angrily. A policeman IN the grounds
jumped in and attempted to strike Jasper
with a club. This was entirely uncalled
for and was a sorry exhibition, which is
to be deplored. Jasper was wrong and
should be put from the field by the re-
fierce. There is no excuse for a player

The Teratas A.. c. of Gutenbe-g defeated
the strong Highwoods yesterday at the

game was Intensely exciting and holly
contested. Both teams were about even

was far ahead in playing tactics. In the
first half, Egan, Walsh, Tavelle and Fox,
for the Teratas, played havoc with the
Highwood line, and soon Walsh flew
aroundaround left end for a touchdown,
and then kicked the goal. IN the second
half, the T. A. C. backs brought the ball
twice to h Highwoods' five yards line,
but were unfortunate enough to lose 1t
each time on a tumble. On a double pass
from Walsh to Lavelle, another touch
down was scored, leaving the Teratas vic

Miss Morrow in the Role of Triby

Mss Lucille Morrow, the talented daugh- ter of Dr. and Mrs. George Morrow, of this city, who has made an enviable reputation for herself by her dramatic art, has scored another triumph in her presentation of Trilby in Atlanta In speaking of the opening performance the Constitution said:
 The presentation of "Trilby" at the Grand last night was nothing short of an artistic triumph. Fainter praise would be out of place.
 It is safe to say that even the most ar dent admirers of the company scarcely ex- pected anything approximating the superb was interpreted. At times the audience sat spellbound during the dramatic scenes, only to give vent to tumultuous applause 1t the elimination.
 The plot of ''Trilby" is too well known to need reorganization. Suffice it to say that 1t abounds in swift action, is full of color and that the sudden transition from the gay to the grave makes it an exceedingly difficult play. Then, too, the individual parts are such as to require keen percep- ton of the artistic. And a little over-act- ing at one place or trife too much ex- tolerance at another would spoil any of them.
 The personnel of the company is partic- ularly adapted to "Trilby'-much better in fact, than anything it has thus far pro- duced; and for this reason, among others, '"Trilby" was immeasureably better than any of the other plays thus far given.
 Naturally interest centered on Miss Lu- cile Morrow, as Trilby, and James Brophy, as Svengali.
 Miss Morrow's rendition of the part was excellent, and a better Trilby could not be asked. She is eminently suited to the part in every way, and her acting was a genu- inc treat. Besides being very handsome young woman, she has very fine stage presence, a rich, well-modulated voice. and poses in easy and graceful lines. During the scenes where Trilby is under the hyp-

A Cuban Lad Follows the Fortunes
Of a Birmingham Army Man

The stories of the bronzed heroes return- ing home from the war always touch a tender chord, for human nature is so full of sadness at the core, that it sees 0 pa- thetic side in the return of a soldfer lad, as well as in his departure. There is a bronzed hero on his way to Birmingham who has been preceded by 0 little bit of picturesque pathos in the person of a young Cuban lad, who has followed the former since his regiment was mustered out of service. This young Cuban has followed the fortunes of the American officer, not unlike a faithful slave of the old regime fol- lowed in the footsteps of young master during that other war when the stars and stripes were not unfurled as conspicuously as they are today.
 He walked up the steps of the residence of the young officer, who at present is at the national capital, touched the electric button and waited to be admitted. It was past midnight and the maids had retired, so that it became necessary for the ladies in the family to inquire into the midnight disturbance One of them descended the stairway with a pistol in her hand. and demanded to know the name of the ln- truder. In broken English he told her that he was the servant of the American officer; that he had preceded the former, and that he had three Spanish guns and bull pup out on the veranda.
 The servants were aroused and the Cu- ban lad entered the threshold of the home of the young officer, whom he had served in the far-away, ill-fated isle.
 He is a typical Cuban, with great dark eyes, full of unutterable sadness. He was dressed in the regulation army blue, and Is as picturesque a type as the war corre- spondents occasionally described The fam fly of the young officer are now eagerly awaiting his return for more reasons than one. brown Cuban, with fathomless eyes, three Spanish guns and a bull-pup, is picturesque enough, but one or two army men within ones call would lend a feeling of security that might overshadow pictur- esQueneSS.

BEAUVOIR
Mrs. Jefferson Davis offers to Sell It 10 Mis-

Jackson (Miss.) Letter to Mobile Register.
 The United Daughters of the Confeder- acy held an interesting three days sess on here this week. and were shown every pos sible social courtesy at the hands of the la- dies of Jackson. During the sessions of the convention a letter was read from Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in which she proposed to sell Beauvoir, the old home of her illustri- ous husband on the Gulf coast, for $25. 900, so that it might become the property of the state and be used as home for Confeder- ate veterans Mrs. Davis went on to say that she had been offered $90,00O for the plantation by northern capitalists, but that she had declined to sell to them, hoping the state would yet purchase the place for the purposes above described. The dele gates were very generally in favor of own ing the place, but declined to ask the state to purchase it. A resolution asking for the appointment of a committee of three to vis- it Jackson during the sitting of the legis lature next winter for the purpose of se curing an appropriation to be used in the purchase of the farm was voted down by a majority of two.

CURIOUS SIDE ARMS
That A Texas Ranger Used During the

J. A. VanHoose, of this city, has very interesting and historic equipment of side arms. They were designed and manufac- tured, most of them, by Texas ranger, and were used by him all during the civil war.
 MT. VanHoose Is an enthusiastic col- lector of rare and curious weapons of all kinds.
 The equipments consist of two double action cap and ball pistols about 15 inches long each and of about 45-caliber two short broad swords very much resembling the Cuban machete, camp hatchet, a butcher knife, a carving steel. pair of bullet mods and two cartridge boxes, be- sides scabbords for the pistols and swords. The whole outfit weighed about twenty-five pounds, and was worn by its owner and designer all during the war; It is said that he carried no musket at all, but depended for protection on his pistols and 'machetes."
