YALR,S STRONG MEN.

New Haven, Conn, September 22.-The
practice of the Yale football elevsn this
afternoon was of the usual order, though
less of it, owing to the fact that for six
days the men have been put through the
pace pretty stiffly. Trainer Murphy and
Capt. Brown were assisted by former
head coach Butterworth, 1876. who came
for few days preceding the coming of
ooachers Mcbride and Mccormick, The
former of the duet will probably remain
all the season from next week on.
Next Saturday the first game of the sea-
son will be played on Yale field with
Trinity college. The outlook for the
Yale eleven is most encouraging in the
light of the past weeks experience. as
none OF the men have been out of the
playing on account of injuries and they
have rounded into good playing form. e.

B. & MS GOOD YEAR.
The Annual Report of the Company
Shows a Large IncreRse IN Earnings.

Boston, September 22.-The annual re-
port OF the Boston and Maine railroad was
issued yesterday in pamphlet form, and
earnings for the year ending June 30,
1900. There is surplus after dividends
OF $172, O16, as against $40, Alb for the pre-
ced1ng year. President Lucien Tuttle
says:
''Of the increase in gross receipts 5000, =
900 was due to an increase In mileage.
or the comparative increase in operat-
ing expenses (s1, ,856, ,378) about $15O,OOO
was due to additions to the roads mile
age; about $40O, ,O0J to a general advance
in price Of locomotive fuel and to the
larger quantity required for increased
train mileage about $500. 600 to necessary
advancements and adjustments Of wages ;
about 5000, OOO to additional train mile
age and station service incident to the
larger volume of freights and passenger
business tran saoted; and the remaining
$500, 600 in part to the general increased
cost of material and supplies, but more
largely to greater expenditures for new
equipment and improvement"
The company's funded indebtedness
amounts to S21, $50, 333 The outstanding
capital stock of the Boston and Maine is
25O, 345 shares, of which 81, 498 are preferred
and 21S, 847 are common. The company
owns 18, 976 of its common shares upon
which no dividends are paid. At the end
of the last fiscal year the Boston and
Maine had no floating debt, but at the
date OF the present report the company
owed $500, 600 on demand notes. This
debt is due to the fact that during the
six years ending June 30, 1900 81, 251, O43
has been expended for permanent addi-
tions to its property and that of It's leased
lines, ,chargeable to capital account. 1t is
the purpose OF the company in the near
future to dispose among the stockholders
at current market value 6,794 shares
common stock.
The present mileage Of the Boston and
Maine system is $500, representing a
