i. U. OUTING, ABANDONED
FEARED PLAYERS WOULD DERIVE
NO BENEFIT FROspTRIP.
Candidates for Team Ordered 10 Re-
port Sept. 1O-Horne Expected This
week-Purdue Gossip.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. 2.-The foot
ball situation of Indiana University for
the coming season will develop within the
next ten days, as by that time Director
HORNE will return from his summer va
cation in Vermont Already it is known
that the contemplated outing of the two
elevens to a point near Maxinkuckee has
been abandoned as not practical. After
thoroughly looking over the stu
alton the conclusion was reached that
much more effective practice could be had
here than away from the university
where everything is inconvenient. Coach
HORNE writes that he expects to be in
Bloomington by Friday ami he has already
written the men who will compose the two
elevens TO report in Bloomington by Sept.
10. 1t is expected that from fifteen to
twenty men will be here. King. the new
coach, is now at Huntington and will come
to Bloomington any time the men are
ready for work. Roy Pike, who is TO have
charge of the second eleven. has been here
all summer and can take I'D the coaching
work at any time.
The first game is the last Saturday i'm
September. Whether or not Clevenger will
be back is not announced, as il is known
that a change will probably be made in
the cooperative association of which he is
the secretary and which more than paid
his expenses. The political faction of which
he is a member was voted out of power last
term, and of course it is no secret since
the opposing faction is in power, he will
be expected to give up his place as has
been the rule in college politics.

The ROWDIES Sing SMALL
THERE is LITTLE DOING FOR THEM
AT THE CARNIVAL.
Boys i'm Blue and Portly Police Pa
troll the Crowded Mfdwny-An-
other Big Crowd.

Not the least pleasing thing about the mil
itary carnival. running this week on the
east side of the Statehouse square, is the
entire absence of rowdyism Although the
crowd is large every afternoon and night
and there is plenty of boisterous fun, there
is no Objectionable conduct on the part of
visitors. Dozens of boys in blue are pres
ent to keep an eye on suspicious looking
characters and they are reinforced by a
squad of police. which patrols the midway.
The military carnival has none of the UNI
pleasant features, such as confetti throwing
and the like. that made life miserable at
former carnivals in this city.
Perhaps the biggest crowd of the week so
far drifted through the midway and pat
ronized the shows last night. An estimate
places the number of people at about 5000,
and it may have been more than this, GER
tanly no less. The crowd was the most
interesting study of the whole show. More
real fun could be gained simply by taking
position out of the rush and jostle and
watching the thousands push and shove
their way along constantly in search of
fresh amusement.
As on former nights the loop-the-loop
show was the big attraction. So great is
the fascination of the show that hundreds
who have seen it time after time before
go back every time and hold their breath
while the daring man in red puts his life
In peril. Some, 1T may be, have a morbid
feeling that he is certain to injure himself
sooner or later, and like some who have
a fancy for morgues, accidents and other
unpleasant things, they wish to be there il
tie worst comes to pass. Chafaralo. how
ever, does his dangerous stunt with such
ease and nonchalance that it is robbed of
half its terrors. 1t is all over in second
and one has hardly time to draw a long
breath before Chafaralo plunges from the
top of the incline, down the narrow board
path, around the inside of the great wooden
at the touch of his wheel. 1t all works
nicely, but if the wheel should swerve, or
the trapdoor fail to work..
The show that catches the crowd next is
1.-THE Girl from up There" One OF the
reasons for the success of the show is the
cleverness of it's advertising. Its managers
leave nothing, undone to let the peo-
pie know that 1.-The Girl from up
There is about to put in an appearance.
Every minute, any place one goes, mega
phone is sure to announce, You might as
well go to church and miss the sermon as
come to the carnival and fail to see The
Girl from up There
The financial success of the carnival is
beyond question and the guardsmen Will
undoubtedly realize a handsome sum to-
ward their new armory. People who visit
the shows spend their money, and quarters,
alf-dolars and dollars from 5000 or 5000
people every night and afternoon mount
up to good-sized sum. The carnival Is
especially fortunate in having splendid
weather which will probably continue for
the remainder of the week.

TOO CALM AND fOGGY
RELIANCE AND SHAMROCK DID NOT
ATTEMPT TO RACE YESTERDAY.
Were lowed to the Starting Point and
Then Home Again-Wind Expected
to Blow n Little To-day.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The fourth attempt
to sail what was expected TO be the con-
Guiding race between the Reliance and
Shamrock III failed mserably to-day. They
were not even sent across the line. Both
boats were towed out to Sandy Hook light
ship in dense fog and fiat calm at 11:3o
a. m, and then waited two hours in the
hope of wind from some other direction
than the east to blow away the fog and
give them speed enough to cover thirty
miles within five and a half hours. The
dwindling fleet was reduced to just twenty
three craft. Besides the New York Yacht
Clubs tugs, the revenue cutters and the
newspaper fleet, there was only one ex-
cursion steamer and a few yachts.
The two racing yachts held to their tow
and circled about the fleet during the wait.
The calm was varied only by a wind never
exceeding three knots. At 1880 o'clock
the attempt was abandoned and announce
Ient made that another would be made to-
morrow.
Soon after the start homeward the wind
for the first time since the middle of last
week shifted from easterly TO southerly
and began to breeze up, an indication that
the long easterly fog null was breaking
and that tomorrow might give the yachts
the long-deferred opportunity of going
through the formality of sailing the third
and probably conclusive race.
Sir Thomas Upton to-day emphatically
denied the persistent rumors that he had
made these two assertions: First, that if
there was any chance for Shamrock III to
win he would depose Captain Wringe and
put the yacht under control of Mate Bevis,
and, second, the Shamrock was found too
long after her speed trials, and in bring
ing her up TO the proper measurement she
had been stripped so much as to lose her
speed. Sir Thomas declared that he had
perfect faith in his designer, his captain
and his crew. All had done and were still
doing their best

BOOMING THE HORSE SHOW
MERCHANTS ARE DISPLAYING COL
ORs AND POSTERS LAvISHLY.
Architect Hunter Has Completed
Aspect of the Show.

Members of the Indianapolis Horse Show
Association express themselves as greatly
pleased at the attitude merchants and bust
ness men generally are taking toward the
horse show, which is to be given the week
of Sept q under a large tent at the cor
ner of Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue.
The downtown merchants are doing
many things to advertise the horse show
and many have sent their representatives
to the Office OF DR.. G. DeGarned Gray, gen.
eral director CT the show in the Claypool
Hotel building, to get new ideas for WIN
dow dressing, so as to give good display
to the horse show colors and posters.
The work of preparing for the horse show,
under the direction of George w. Bliss,
president of the association; f. NJ. Muir
ply, secretary; John Saulter. assistant
secretary; w. II. Block, the other men,
bers of the executive committee, and DR..
Gray, is progressing satisfactorily and the
plans have already taken definite form.
Architect Hunter has completed plans for
the large arena and about 1900 seats, and
the work of preparing the grounds for the
arena has already begun.
1.-THE horse show presents an interesting
association yesterday. In its essence a
thing of pleasure, the horse show will yet
have a direct bearing upon the business
of Indianapolis, and like any large gather
ing of people it will stimulate business not
only in this city, but within a large radius
of here
Large wholesale dealers have pro-
nounced the horse show one of the methods
of centralizing old trade and creating new
No other class of entertainment seems to
have the same effect on business as does a
horse show. BY its nature it appeals to a
different body of citizens than do other
forms of public entertainment"
After spending almost all of their time
getting entries from other cities and adj
vertising the show among the home people
DR.. Gray and the directors have begun an
advertising campaign through the newspa-
pers in dozens of county-seat towns in all
parts of the State. Letters by the score
dozens of posters and all details of the
show and notice of tie special low rates
to Indianapolis the week of the show are
being sent all over the State. The asso-
citation expects a large patronage from the
small towns over the State.
