WIND sHIELD RECORDS.
Should Not Stand, Says Caspar Whit
 ney in November Outing.

Perhaps it is true that the horse
 drawn wind shield will be no greater factor in the reduction of the two-min-
 ute mile trotting record-as the run
 ming horse to have about reached his I limit of usefulness it is undenia-
 bfe that this same shield was 8 telling
 element in Major Delmar's equaling
 the Lou Dillon record in Prince Alert $
 mile paced in 1 :57, and in Lou Dillon's S 2:05 mile to the oldlfashioned sulky.
 The gentleman who assumes responsi- bility for the wind shield used at the Empire City track when Prince Alert went the mile two seconds faster than
 the worlds record of Dan Patch. and
 Major Delmar beat his own record of 2:0OM by a quarter second claims that
 "the wind shield is of decided advan- tage to a horse. probably three to four seconds when properly rated" Un- questionably the shield is of material assistance, and if as much as claimed for 1t, then the performances with wind shield attachment of Lou Dillon and Major Delmar and Prince Alert 1 this season are to be viewed as exhibi- tions only. and Maud $. and Dan Patch still reign. for they made their
 great records without the, aid Of such device. The secretary of the Empire City Trotting club. Alfred Reeves, naively says, in his plea for the wind shield, that people who attend race meets are little concerned as to just how records are broken so long as the horse travels faster than he ever trav- eled before in his history Mir Reeves sounds the characteristic American note-the craze for records; the frenzy for winning. It makes no difference how a record is made so long as one is made. Such seems the prevailing note of American competir l ton.

Columbia Hopes to Lower -Yale's
 Colors To-Morrow

Betting is 2 to on Yale, However The Harvard Team is Not Up to the
 standard-New Men Being Tried.
 Preliminary work of the Columbia eleven in preparation for the, game with Yale to-morrow is complete. Mor- ley has finished his coaching and the most important point in the schedole of the Columbia players has been reached. If Columbia defeats Yale theI intercollegiate championship for 1903 seems fairly assured to the plucky lads in blue and white. The other side of the slate--a defeatputs Columbia i'll an anomalous position, to be ranked as prejudice may dictate What the betting men think of the game is plainly evidenced by the fact that 2 to 1 on Yale is easy to get any where. Some bets have been made in Wall street at a point higher in ia vor of the New Haven lads. It seems likely that the odds will soar by to- morrow afternoon There is good req son why Columbia men should be dis couraged at this point in the game.

We managed to escape it by living in a part of the city the Ire didn't touch, but used to go and look at the ruins every day, and one morning it occurred to me that there might be some money made by selling them. There was such a tremendous stock on hand that it looked like pity to let 1t all go to waste.

 Practice Tackling Him.
 New Haven, Oct 30.-There was a bear hunt at Yale yesterday morning, but bralin was the hunter and half a dozen undergraduates were the hunt ed. The steeple chase began when the black bear which was sent to Trainer Mike Murphy by D. w. Franchot. the former Yale distance runner, was let loose on the gymnasium lot. The stu dents present chased across the lot when they saw the bear dancing across toward the open cage door. The bear skipped after the party. There were yel1s and the crowd got inside the gymnasium and slammed the door in the bears face.
 Some of the soldiers who are here taking Prof Chittenden's meatIess; diet are familiar with the ways of bears and they made the fellow fast to q rope near the gymnasium cage, where he passed the morning. Some of the foot ball players tackled him and rolled him over for practice and then jumped away before he got ready tD bite. The effect Of the bright sun on bruin seemed to make him sleepy and the football men later played with him to their hearts content. He Is about four hands high and three feet long He weighs perhaps 125 pounds. He ar rived Wednesday night. consigned to Mike Murphy. He is to be the mascot for Yale at the game with Columbia on Saturday The ultimate destiny of the bear is probably the Yale training table,.
