IN WASHINGTON
Rhode Island Veterans Enjoying
National G. A. R. Encampment

A second letter from n Providence vet
eran now at Washington attending the
national encampment of the Grand Army
tells some interesting happenings during
Monday. There was good deal of in
terest In the grand parade of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men in that city at
$3.50 Monday, which was the feature OF
the day.
The line was formed south of the capt.
tol the participants In the parade being
superbly dressed in fantastic Indian cos
tune. Nearly all the shades and tints
of color were displayed in the makeup
and the garbs worn were so we'll nigh
perfect that many people believed that
genuine Indians were in the line.
Some of the costumes worn were OF
buckskin, beautifully trimmed and
adorned, and of Indian make. Some OF
the braves rode ponies and the squaws
rode in gaily decorated carriages.
A visit TO the Congressional library was
feature of a tour about the city. and
this building is one of the finest library
buildings in the world. The decorations
of the building are such as to recommend
to all visitors inspection of the library.
Between and 10 O'clock Sunday after
noon and evening 5000 visitors were in
the library. and Mondays record probably
doubled that number The capitol came
in for its share of attention, no less
the dome on Monday.
The officers Of the Department Of
Rhode Island arrived in Washington at
o'clock Monday night and went to the
Hotel Normandie, where quarters had
been engaged for them.

The smoker for October of the New
Century Athletic club held last evening,
was certainly interesting. There was
program of vocal and instrumental music
by Baker Bros orchestra prior to and be-
tween the various boxing bouts which
were the chief features of the program
for the evening.
The main bout was for 10 rounds be-
tween Mike Toots OF New York and Billy
Ryan OF Boston. and IL was decidedly an
excellent exhibition. While Ryan was the
better boxer and his work was clean and
clever. Toots was the more aggressive and
his efforts were productive of better re-
suits. The bout was stopped by Referee
Stanton Abbott i'm the 10th round when
Ryan was plainly at disadvantage and
practically at the mercy OF his opponent.
The bout was thoroughly Interesting.
Ryan started in with clean hitting and
getting away but Toots preferred rushing
and infighting, with close-arm work In the
cinches Ryan In avoiding the clinches
neglected TO take advantage of opportu-
nities for straight leads.
Ryan held his own well and sNaight
jabs stopped many rushes. but In the
clinches Toots was plainly the superior.
The work was 10 the advantage OF neith-
er man and Ryan was doing the better
boxing until the close of the ninth. Then
ne held up a straight left which ne had
started and Toots came In with lett
hook on the jaw that downed Ryan just
as the bell rang
RYAN wasn't in shape to continue after
that punch and Toots. recognizing mis-
chance. started in 10 smother Ryan. Ryan
was not able to make much defenc~ and
as he was al a standstill the referee de-
clared Toots the winner. Ryan protested
against this decision but the referee used
good judgment
The first preliminary was between Joe
Toots. brother OF Mike, and Max Freeman
of Pawtucket Freeman was the superior
in weight and height and after couple
of rounds and he had felt out his man he
started In at whirlwfnd pace tnat
threatened TO finish Toots. Toots resorted
10 clinching and was on the defensive un-
III the sixth and closing round, when ne
came back hard In an attempt TO make
the bout draw. Freeman was the petter
man however. and he got the decision.
The second bout. between KID Raymond
of Boston and Kid Moore, was also a
-fustting exhibition. Raymond was the
larger and heavier man but Moore, VINO
IS a brother OF Hugh Clancy OF Pawtuck-
., did much aggressive work. Raymond
was outcIassed in cleverness ana YET ne
was able TO take all the punishment
given Moore wore down somewhat after
rbe third round and then Raymond as
sumed the aggressive Moore was able
10 hold off Raymond and while ne was
not as strong sat the finish the decision
the bout was a draw, was apparently
satisfactory to all.

HARVARD s5. WESLEYAN 5.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 15.-Harvard's Varsity football team got together i'll the first half of the Wesleyan game this afternoon and scored 35 points in twenty minutes. The showing. was the best of any that Harvard has ever made this year. In the second half Harvard put an entirely new team on the field except Stillman, who was moved from full back to left half back. Wesleyan scored in this half after using several trick plays, a delayed pass leading to 8 touchdown.
 With the exception of Graydon at full back and Knowlton in one of the tackle positions the Harvard team as it started the game was the strongest the coach CTS could put on the field. Herman was hack at left half and Andrew Marshall once of Dartmouth, played left-guard. For the first time Harvard departed from a straight rushing game by her backs and tried several formations. Mills was taken back from tackle and used to advance the ball, and Jones was brought in from the end for the same nurpose. In using an end new play was brought into use by Harvard for il has been customary to bring Ill the other tackle to alternate the advance

farmers. His remarks were corroborat- ed by Mir. Marsh, President Dewell and several other delegates. Judge Bishop and several others were of the opinion that the farmers were now amply pro- tected by the game laws, but were not protected from unwarranted and injuri- ous trespassing by hunters, and favored some action to protect the farmers against trespass, but declared himself opposed to any measure tending to- wards a repeal of the present game laws.
 Upon motion of R. 0. Cheney of Man chester it was voted that committee of three be appointed to draft a resoiu- ton petitioning the next legislature to pass a measure insuring the farmers against trespass. Judge Bishop, MT. Taintor of Hartford and Mir Smith were appointed to serve on this com mittee.
