the lady of title of even taking the

II a young lady is invited TO 90 To
the races with a young gentleman and
he takes her mother or sister, too
ought they to pay his fare. or ought he
to pay the fare of the young lady and
not OF anybody else? X. T.
The gentleman will certainly offer to
pay the lady's fare and that OF her
chaperon as we'll, but 1t would be a bet
ter plan for the ladies to offer to pay
their own fares, as railroad tickets are
supposed to be one of the things which
a lady pays for herself. But on ac-
count should the ladies insist upon
paying their fares IL the host insists
that 1t is his place to do so. Nothing
is more foolish than a friendly wrangle

The tart Of the whole matter was the
lodging Of a complaint at Scotland Yard
by e well known jeweler doing busi-
ness on the Strand. He had missed two
diamond rings from a tray he had been
exhibiting to several lady customers,
but unfortunately for him the gems had
been gone an hour perhaps before he
knew what def fingers had purloined
them under his very eyes. He could re-
call the names of four or five ladies, and
he headed the list with the name of a
marquis wife, but the inspector on duty
might we'll smile and turn away at that.
Had the jeweler not been in such a per-
turbed state Of mind he would never
have included that name. Indeed. be-
fore he left the place he apologized,
partly to himself. for having given any
names at all, as it was utterly absurd
to suspect any of the owners of having

The three Yale backs, Hart, Wilhelmi and Chadwick, tried Amherst's line for sue cessive gains for short distances. Chad wick carried the ball our of bounds on an end play and when the teams lined up again Goss was given the ball. He funlbled 1t and Anderson fell on it. He started to pick the ball up, but Captain Gould was there and nailed him on Yale's 30-yard line. Amherst then banged through the Yale line for five yards on two attempts.

HARVARD 12. BowDoIN 0.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 2.-The liar yard football team defeated Bowdoin day in twelve minute halves by the score of 12 to 0, the same as last year. Harvard's backfield was composed of substitutes and only the excellence of the line men saved the day. Bowdoins back field was better than Harvard's. The first touchdown was made by line plunging for thirty-five yards. after Graydon had run back with kickoff for fifty yards. After the second kick off Bowdoin secured the ball on for ward pass and gained steadily for twenty-five yards through Harvard s line, before being forced to kick.
 In the second half Harvard scored to- ward the end by straight line play from mid field. The work of the backs was so ragged that no end runs could be tried. Campbell played at left end and showed all his old time form. Hovey did the best work in the line.
 Touchdowns were made by Derby and Swann and goals by Campbell.

Pierce kicked off and Gould caught the ball, but was downed in his tracks. The ball was then advanced about twenty yards by Hogan, Chadwick and Hart. The Amherst line held again, and on the last play of the first half Hogan was thrown for four yard loss The second half saw many changes in the Yale team. Shaw was at right half back, Jack Ward at full back, Hamlin at center, Ferguson at left end, Swan at right, and Hinkle at left hat back With these fresh men Yale was unable to advance the ball much, They did get the ball to Amherst's 15-yard line, but lost it on downs.
