HARVARD BEAT COLUMBIA.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 13.-ETar-
ward beat Columbia to-day at football
by "a to 0, the largest score Harvard
has made this season. 1t was the first
game in ten years between the two
colleges, and a closer score was ex-
pected. The Columbia team came up to
their expectations, but the Harvard
eleven showed weakness which the
coaches had not realized. Their de-
tense is much weaker than at this time
last year. Twice in the game the Co
lumbia team seemed able to gain at
will through Lawrence, the veteran
tackle, while the Harvard backs gain
ed only through occasional weak play
ing of the Columbia linesmen. In
punting, too, Ellis was inferior TO Nor
ley. The only encouraging part OF the
game was the way Sawin and DAILY
eluded the Columbia ends in receiving
kicks and made long lodging runs
down the field. The game was fiercely
played from the very start.

WHEELING DEFEATED
WASHINGTON YESTERDAY
IN A SIX MEN TEAM MATCH AT
THE WHEELING CLUB
COURSE.
a THIRD MATCH NECESSARY
Owing to the Fact That Each Team
Has Won "a Mntch-Nct as Yet De-
termincd Where 1t VIII Be Held.
The Visitors Royalty Entertained
BY the Wheeling PeopIe-Ncws OF
the Golf Links.

The Wheeling golf team defeated the
Washington county golf team yester-
day afternoon at the Wheeling club
links at. Woodsdale, administering a.
worse defeat on the visiting players
thar Wheeling suffered two weeks ago
at Washington. On the final returns
Wheeling totaled rs up and Washing
ton 2 up, giving the locals the victory
by % holes.
The day was perfect for the play. A
very large crowd of people were in at
tendance TO watch the progress of the
match. Each match had quite a large
gallery. There was some little trouble
in getting started, owing to
the fact that the visitors refused to
agree to tne arrangement of the play
ers. The difficulty was finally settled
and the match proceeded.
The Washington team, accompanied
by about forty people from that city,
arrived in the city about IL O'Clock
yesterday morning. The team went
Immediately TO the course, where they
were shown over the ground. They
were then conducted to the country
home of Mr.. C. +. Paxton, 'Uplands, "
Pleasant Valley, where a dinner was
served them at o Covers were laid
for fourteen. Mr.. Oliver and Mr.. Dun
can, of Washington, who entertained
the teams at chat city, were present be-
sides the two teams.
The remainder of the Washington
party were taken to the Fort Henry
club, FROM the train, where a breakfast
was served. A special car over the
suburban electric conveyed them to the
course at Woodsdale shortly after
Noon. AS soon as the match was COM
pleted, DE entire party went to Elm
Grove, taking the 5:25 train home from
that point.
At the curse during the afternoon a
committee of lady members of the
wheeling club served light refresh
ments. The committee composed Mrs.
James Cummins, Mrs. James B. fancy,
Mrs. William Glessner, Mrs. B. d. Dent,
Mrs. B. Walker Peterson, Mrs. Harper,
and several others.
The Washington people take no lit
tie interest in their teams as is dem
onstrated by the large crowd that came
down. During the course of the con-
test an exceptional interest was taken
in the results.
During the afternoon there was no
brilliant play, but the results acquired
by Mr.. c. Paxton and DR.. Storer show
ed very steady play on the part of the
two. The greens were not everything
~ should have been, and are in part
Qnsible for the large scores. Wash
played at q disadvantage owing
to the fact that the course was strange
to them.
In the playing the matches resulted
as follows: Mr. ]. B. fancy beat Mr..
C. ". Harding 8 up; Mr.. G. F. Paxton
beat Mr.. Will Baird 5 up; Mr.. j. w.
Storer beat Mr.. Will Paxton II up;
Mr.. John Hart beat Mr.. Henry Dalzell
2 up; Mr.. Clinton Campbell beat DR..
Fulton 4 up; Mr.. T. H. Pollock beat Mr..
Grant Smith l up.
The teams will now have to play the

saw she will finish the 1000 miles Monday

To solve the question of ballast many
expedientS are resorted to, and the re-
suits obtained often are singular. The
most popular ballast is stone or rock.
and every shipmaster who halls from

posed TO know at least, the relative
value of certain grades of rocks at
various ports besides the metropolis.
He can dispose of a cargo Of stone to
contractors here which will more than

WASHINGTON AND BURR.
Alleged Cause of the Break Between
the Two Great Men.

An old lawyer. speaking of ORA matte
incidents in court, said: 'Jere Clemens,
a once famous United States senator
from Alabama. told of a trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest.
when Burr addressed the jury, it
was night. The guilty man was in the
room. He had been the principal wit
ness for the prosecution, but Burr had
learned that this witness was the as
saSsin. and in closing his address for
his client he picked up two lighted
candles from the table. and. holding
them in the face of the witness refer
red to. he exclaimed: Gentlemen of
the jury, there is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit
ness fed from the room. After Glenn
ems told this story he wrote n his
torical novel called The Rivals; or, The
Times of Hamilton and Burr In that
book he wove the incident into one of
the chapters. The book is out of print
and has been for many years. But it
had a great sale. particularly in the

Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed
some scandalous gossip about Burr.
