downs and a beautiful goal by Marshall

story however, In the second half. An
entire team OF substitutes went in at this
time and they proved fat failure in
puncturing the Wesleyan line. Once they
had the ball on the visitors three yard
line, but they lost II on downs, and after
n touch back Lacy punted out OF danger.
Wesleyan, on the other hand, profited
by 45-yard run by Forbes on a delayed

class certificate. and about 20 making the
wind-up without penalized stop being
placed against them.
The gasolene and the steam types di-
vided honors. This is a great victory for
the steamers when II is remembered that
they were fairly outnumbered by the
gasolene entries. Hereafter the steam
carriage must be given greater consid-
Grafton, for while its practicability has
always been recognized. IL has not. as
a rule. been considered a long-distance
carriage.
However. the fact must not be lost
sight OF that the steamers were run under
conditions slightly different from those
governing the gasolenes. as they were
permitted certain stops for water not al
lowed TO the other cars. These stops
were somewhat restricted. and four OF
the vehicles took no advantage OF them,
going from start to finish on practically
the same conditions as the gasolene ve-
hicles.
The showing made by the whole group
OF carriages is a really wonderful ono

Europe. In the recent reliability contest
