FRATERNAL HOME.
Erection of Building by Local So
cieties Sug-
gested.
IDEA OF F. o. VAN CALDER
Fund Could Be Raised From the
Rentals Now Being
Paid.

f. o. Van Calder, editor of the
Modern Woodman, the official organ
OF the great order whose headquar-
tiers are located in Rock Island, has
suggested to the Argus a most com
mendable enterprise, and one that
could be carried through successful
~ here if the right people were
placed at the head of it. He proposes
the erection of a fraternal temple.
I'VE have just completed hand
some theatre" said Mr.. Van Calder,
land now l would like to see the fra
ternal societies do something sub
stantial for themselves and for the
city. Just think of the number of
lodges i'm Rock Island, there being
here, aside from the headquarters of
the Modern Woodmen and FraternaI
Tribunes, branches of the Masons,
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias,
knights of Maccabees, Workmen,
Court of Honor, National Union,
Knights of the Globe, Red Men, For
rosters. Mystic Workers, and possibly
others that l cannot call to mind
just now.
Would he Money Maker Too
These lodges are able, with the
money they are now paying in rents,
to erect such a building, one that
would not only be self-sustaining. but
that eventually would be a revenue
Garner. One of the features of such
/ building should be a hall to be used
by conventions not large enough to
require the theatre. My idea is for
a high structure. with floors for one,
two or more of the different organi-
cations. the first floor, if desired, to
be occupied by stores; or, following
the idea of the Illinois theatre,
storerooms in front, with auditorium
in the rear.
What They Did In Sycamore.
'Over in my old home of Syca-
more, in this state, the different so
cieties raised $4,000 and bonded the
project in sufficient amount to
erect the building, and already the in
debtedness has been paid, and be-
sides the fraternal lodges were re-
Gently able to contribute from their
temple fund 81 900 to aid Sycamore
in its fight for the county seat
against DeKalb."

THoRoUGHBREDs AT AUCTION.
A. n. and D. H. Morris Horses Bring
S11O.75O.

All the thoroughbreds owned by A. II.
& D. HI. Morris and Wyndham Walden
were sold at auction in the sales paddocks
of the Fasig- Tipton Company, opposite the
Sheepshead Bay track, yesterday. The con-
signment consisted of thrty-seven head
brood mares, stations and two and three
year-old colts and FLIES in training Every
horse offered was sold. and at the conclu-
sion the amount realized was $40 750-an
average of 1888 per head.
Reckon and Correction. famous as race
mares of high quality and successful as
young matrons in the stud farm, brought
the two highest prices of the sale. Reckon,
the dam of Compute, winner of $4,000
stake at Brighton Beach last year and
first in the Withers stake at Morris Park
this season. brought SIT, 100 after spirited
bidding. She was purchased by Capt s. s.
Brown. the multi-millionaire Of Pittsburg.
Correction, full sister to the great Dom
mo and the dam of Yankee, winner of the
Futurity last year. was sold to l.. o. APP
pleby of the Silver Brook stud for $4,000
AS yearling Corrections foal, YANKEE,
brought $4,000.
L'Intriguante, one Of the mares on the
catalogue, was not offered. Subsequent to
the sale John E. Madden purchased her at
a private figure.

even then, had she not been interfered with
In the earlier stages of the journey. Feme-
sole was heavily backed, and also met with
interference.
Mr.. brakes commissioner threw the pub
lie of by betting on Rossignol at first, but
barch, whose price fell from ffteens to
tens in the last few moments OF the betting.
The conditions of the all-age handicap, at
a mile and a half, suited Blues. There was
nobody to give him struggle with early
speed and thus discourage him, and he
consequently led all the way and won by a
length from Hunter Raine, though he
seemed to be pretty tired at the end.
The steeplechase was another langhable
affair. Steeplechasing as 1t is conducted at
Gravesend Is only joke, and anybody who
wishes to bet on these steeplechases ought
to be handcuffed. Many persons wonder
what the National Hunt and Steeplechase
Association Is going to do to stop the sport
from being dragged In the miro any fur
Their. There were only four starters in the
jumping race yesterday and they all fell
except Miss Mitchell The mare was for
some unaccountable reason not backed at
all, and was allowed to close at the ridicu-
lousy long price Of to /. AS she was the
only one that stood up she won literally In

race for third money. Luckily he could
make the weight. Hank Forward also fell,
but Smith remounted and finished second.
Ferocious threw Carson hard and ran away
from him. The stand was IN gale OF
laughter most Of the time 1t was FUNNY,
but It was also disgusting.
The other winners were Christine A., at
Z to 1; Zoroaster. at 8 to 10, and Earl OF
Warwick at 2 to /. the latter defeating the
highly tried Hastings colt Oarsman. who
made his first appearance and ran an ex-
cellent race for a green colt.

1902
Yale Won by "a to 6.

Tufts College repeated history at New
Haven yesterday by scoring touchdown
on Yale. Last year it did the same. The
score yesterday was: Yale, a. Tufts, 9.
The game was interesting, giving indica-
ton of how effective the big rush line will
be in interference. Glass. Hogan, Hamlin
and Coffin gave the backs good protection.
Shevlin's individual play In the second half
was the best. Carrying the ball sixty-elght
yards to a touchdown and fighting his way
through the whole Tufts team to do 1t was
q remarkable feat. Again. just before the
game ended, he ran thirty three yards with
two tackles clinging to him.
In the first half Metcalf used the backs,
Chadwick and Ward. on end runs mainly.
only occasionally giving Hogan and Hamlin
try. The second half was line bucking
game mostly, with Shevlin and McClintock
doing the heavy work and Ward and Hinkle
varying it.
Tufts score came unexpectedly. Wander
poel kicked off after Yales second touch
down. Captain Knight caught the ball, and
eluding Yale's ends, sped down the field
Metcalf alone was in his way and stopped
him. Mccarthy sent the Tufts backs to the
left, getting the ball into position, and on
the third down gave the signal for quar-
terback kick. Durham took the ball on the
bound and made a touchdown.

RACING AT GRAVESEND.
Three Out of Four Horses in Steeple-
chase Fall,

There were all kinds of trouble yesterday
at the Gravesend track over the Fort Ham
ilton selling stakes for three-year-
Most of 1t was caused by the fact that by
an oversight G. Whittiers weight had been
placed at 100 by the official Handicapped
who had overlooked the fact that Mr.. Bell
colt had won race of sufficient value to
impose on him weight to the extent of 12o
pounds. This fact was discovered shortly
before the race and a correction written
upon the board, but the great majority Of
betters who backed G.. Whittier did so in
the belief that his weight was 100 pounds
and not 100 pounds. The difference, how
ever, was the difference between victory
and defeat.
OF course. the stewards do not take
official cogniZaHce of the betting ring they
could do nothing In the premises. The Met
ropolftan Turf Association, however, had 1t
in its power to declare all bets off. This
1t should certainly have done. but this it
did not do. 1t took no action whatever. 1t
is hard to how 1t could justify itself
in keeping money lost on G. Whittier, but
keep it it did. G. Whittier was not placed
and the race was won by John A. brakes
