TIE NEW YORK TRIBUNE'S
plans and program for 1902 contem-
plate improvements all along the line,
so as to keep it in the front rank OF
the newspaper procession. What THE
DAILY TRIBUNE is and what it
stands for pretty nearly everybody
knows. That 1t keeps pace in enter
prise with the spirit of the age with
out sacrificing decency or accuracy 1t
is needless to TO say.
But a word as to the other publica-
tions issued from THE TRIBUNE
office may be timely. For instance, it
may not be generally known that the
famous old Weekly grew and grew
until it became imperatively neces-
sary to divide it in two-THE TRI-
BUNE REVIEW and THE TRIBUNE
FARMER. THE REVIEW is suited
alike to persons of the highest culture,
to those who are educating them
selves and to all who wish the weeks
history summarized, explained and
illuminated for them Special atten-
ton is given to municipal affairs, do
nestle and foreign politics, and to
books and literary news. 1t is pub
lished every Saturday. Price, cents
a copy, or 81 a year.
THE FARMER, issued every Thurs
day, is one of the handsomest agri-
cultural papers published in this or
any other country. The illustra tons
are superb, and the articles embrace
everything relating to farms or farm
work. 1t is a paper which farmers
and all who have business dealings
with them cannot well afford to get
along without. 81 a year.
THE TRI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE oc-
cupies a field all its own. 1t was
learned by experience that thousands
of persons in various parts of the
country wanted a New York news
paper, and yet they didn't want one.
That sounds paradoxical, but 1T isn't
so much so as one might think at first
glance. What they were really after
was a condensed New York news
paper which wouldn't tax either their
purse or their time too much. So II
came to pass that THE TRI-WEEK-
IY TRIBUNE took the place of the
old Semi-Weekly. The 'Tri," as II is
Familiarity called, appears on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, and in these
issues one may find the cream of the
matter in the seven issues of The
Daily Tribune. Price $1.50 a year.
THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1902
is bigger, better and more valuable
than ever All the records and sta
tistics worth having. Now on sale.
Price 25 cents.

YALE:
Team Doing Well
This Year.

New Haven. Nov. 25.-According to
the statement made by Yale officials
this will be a record-breaking year
financially in the Yale football depart
inent..
1t is estimated that Yale will net
about $4,000 profit this season. Most
all of the members of the Yale team
complain today Of lameness and sore
ness. Captain Chadwick remained in
his room most of yesterday nursing a
badly injured nose. When he got
through the game Saturday he found
several fingers, dislocated. In a week
the Yale football players will meet to
elect a captain. The captaincy will
probably 60 to Edgar r. Glass, the star
guard.
DR.. W. Seward Webb telephoned
from New York to this city Saturday
and asked n friend to get him three
good tickets for the football game at
any price. In less than Is minutes the
friend telephoried back to DR.. Webb
that he had been able to secure the
tickets for S100. DR.. Webb at once
started with a party for New Haven,
and was present at the game. This is
believed to be the highest price paid
for tickets for the game.
