the troopers One or two seemed inclined
to stop, but one burly horseman In adj

More Points Than Harvard, Yale,
and Princeton Combined.
Nine of the Fourteen Events Fall 10
Her-Every L. T.. Crack Won His
Specialty-The Crowd.

New York, May. 27.-Pennsylvania' s crack
athletes carried OFF the honors at the inter-
collegiate championships held at Manhat-
tan Field today in easier fashion than the
most enthusiastic supporters of the Penn
sylvania University had hoped. There was
big crowd and everything combined to
make the meeting one of the most memo
rable in the history of the intercollegiate
Association. The widely heralded per-
formances of cracks in the college meet
had early served TO attract a larger crowd
than for many years. The wonderful broad
jumping of Kraenzleln. the Pennsylvania
student, in the trials held on Friday, also
had a salutary effect on the attendance,
and when the games were in full swing
five thousand persons were in the stands.
The condition of the Pennsylvania men
was certainly credit to Trainer Murphy.
Not a single U. p. crack failed to win in
his speciality, and all those events which
the prophets declared doubtful were car
ried off by the PennsylVanians. Altogether,
the Quakers supplied the winner in nine

On fourth. rolling up a total of tiftyseven
points. The remarkable character of the
Pennsylvania victory is apparent from the
idCt tnat their score was greater than tnat
made by Harvard, Yale and Princeton
combined. With first place -apportioned to
old Penn before the meeting commenced,
the chief interest centred in the struggle
for second place between Harvard and
Yale. In this public .fornlt was verified,
and the crimson again driunlphed over the
blue. The loss of Clyde, who was thought
to have a good chance in the,two-mile run,
initiated against the New Haven athletes,
and their other distande runners failed to
show as prominently as expected. Har-
ward scored total of twenty eight points
to twenty-five and a half for Yale
Syracuse proved the surprise of the day
from a team standpoint, and gave Prince
ton hard rub for third place. The Tigers
aided BY the win of Cregan in the one mile
amassed a total of eleven points, and al
though Syracuse did not supply an abso-
Lutte winner. the university from up the

DELINQUENT RAILROADS.
Notified to Make Prompt Deposits for
Pay for Special Policemen.

Pay for Special Policemen
In view of the fact that the various To-
cal street railway companies which are
required to provide for special street rail-
way crossing policemen have been, with
one exception, very tardy in making de-
posits with the Collector of Taxes. the
District Commissioners have taken the
matter in hand, and have addressed letters
to the officials of the companies directing
attention to the delinquencies.
In a circular letter dated August 3 last.
the Commissioners requested that the re-
spective amounts assessed to be paid into
the District Golfers by different companies,
should be remitted not later than the 10th
day of each month.
Auditor Petty has informed the Commis-
soners that compliance with this request
has been the exception, rather than the
rule. He has pointed out that during the
last month the Capital Traction Company
paid on April 81 the Metropolitan Railway
Company on April %. the Columbia Rail-
way Company on May ?, the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railway. and the Belt
Railway Companies on May g. Commenting
upon this condition of affairs, Auditor Pet
ty said:
As the rolls cannot be paid until all ,he de-
posits have been received the hardship imposed
upon the street railway crossing policemen by
this delinquency is apparent. They lose time in
coming day after day for their pay, which should
be ready by the end of the month, and | can see
no reasonable excuse for the delay. Several of the
companies only pay after persistent dunnins by
our office and as | have authority in the
premises | would suggest that the Commission
ers remind them OF their duty under the law and
the necessity for its prompt performance.
Accordingly letters were addressed to the
officials of the five delinquent companies
yesterday requesting that steps be taken
to avoid a continuance of the trouble.
