Went 10 another one to sleep. The crowd
followed her. For an hour they tried TO
peer through the flaps of the tent to see
the Old woman. They were drawn away
when a gypsy brought a pony near and
MADE the animal go through some fancifal
movements.
Laurel. the girl queen, with pretty brown
eyes was making money all the time
young man. gypsy, sat at the end of a
rope lane which led to the tent He kent
away all intruders who had no money. In
order to see the queen it was necessary 10
have cash. A small blackboard nlaced at
the head of the rope lane read:
Gfpsy quen arrived

30 cents for you fortune told
10 cents remit.
Remit meant that If the gipsy queen
uid not tell your fortune accurately YOU
would get back 10 cents.
When visitor got inside the tent the
gypsy queen was liable to ask a dollar to
tell fortune, but she was willing to strike
a bargain at the advertised price rather
than have any person leave. She told the
persons practically the same story, with a
few variations.
Queen Laurel informed me that the silver
crown would be placed upon her head next
Sunday. She hopes business will be as
good then as it was yesterday. Her father

PRINCETON, HARVARD AND YALE.
Candidates for Various Teams Soon to
Report for Practice.

In six weeks the candidates for the Tiger
foot ball team will report at Princeton to
get into form for the struggles On the grid
iron with colleges. Most of the men will
be on hand by September 8 and ready for
practice on the following Monday. The
men who will try for the varsity eleven
will then be given light practice, the chief
part of which will consist of learning the
signals and attention to individual instruc-
ton.
There has been no summer practice given
to the foot ball men and none will be
given them, as the prevalent opinion is
that a team does not benefit by getting the
candidates out SO early in the season. Only
once in the history of Princetons foot ball
experience was this kind of practice in
dulged in, and that proved to be a disad-
vantage to the team, the members of
the eleven were found to he out Of good
form because of the amount of work they
were put through before the season proper
began
Captain Edwards has not fully expressed
himself on the regular course of training
that will be given the players. but 1t is
we'll understood that he will get all the
available foot ball material together a
week or ten days before college opens and
continue light form of practice with
them until near the end of September, when
the lineup will be determined and prac
tice games begun.
With the athletic season of $3.50 COM
pletely ended by the defeat of the Harvard
team abroad the students are settling
down to contemplation of the prospects
for the coming foot ball season. The wings
which bore the crimson SO triumphant
to the top notch last year have been
brought out of their storage place and
found to be in excellent condition, and
are now being FURNISHED and put in thor
ough repair. They look solid enough to
win again. and the colleges loyal rooters
will enter the season full of roseate hope.
Coach Dibblee at Cambridge is placed in
critical place at a critical time. Harvard
has just escaped from the deSpond of con"
tinual defeat and is anxious to avoid an
other series of like character. Dibblee's
first task was to bring back victory 10
Harvard.
The fiaSco of Yaie's track athletes in

Yale men did not expect to see the Yale

make huke abroad is something that
Yale men, young and old, are decidedly OPP

The managers of the foot ball team, base

A special to the Philadelphia Inquirer
from South Bethlehem. Pa, says: On the
HeXakupf' mouI- tain, bleak and dreary
peak of the Lehigh chain, three miles
southeast of South Bethlehem, lives a
hermit descendant of old Commodore Cor
neiius Vanderbilt Of New York.
In a dark retreat. shaded by primitive
r:Cnarchs of the forests, an Inquirer rep
resentative discovered a low, uncovered
! hut. The dilapdated structure had most of
its window panes broken. At one time the
hut must have been surrounded by a fence

From the New York Herald today.
Several hundred persons who journeyed
yesterday to the gypsy camp between Plain

coronation of Miss Laurel Harrison as
queen of the American Romany, came away
with the feeling that they had been hoaxed
Some looked disappointed. Others counted
the money in their depleted purses and
smiled philosophically.
Not one of them saw the coronation. The
visitors had to take the word of the gipsies
