grain inspection or none in this city. That
was the edict given out last night by
the Superior Board of Trade men upon
hearing the action Of the senate in in
definitely postporing the bill providing a
Wisconsin inspection of grain at this

men on to greater efforts. Their ultt-
matum is as stated ABOVE.
II the legislature persistently refuses
to pass Wisconsin inspections bill the
Minnesota inspectors will be driven from
the Wisconsin side of the bay. There will
be inspection under the Wisconsin law

move, If the plans Of the Superior men
are carried out, will be the introduction
Of the defeated bill substitute bill in

Harvard Looks Like a Winner as Re-
 suit of Trial Heats.
 New York, May 3O-The preliminary trials in the intercollegiate track and field championships were held yester- day at the Berkeley Oval and the weaker candidates were sifted from the 100, 22O, 440 and SS0 yard runs; the 12O and 22O yard hurdles and the five field events, leaving only the first class material for the finals to-day. : At the conclusion of the trials it was found that Harvard had qualified twenty-one men to nineteen for Yale and the battle for the championship will be between these colleges. Prior to the trials yesterday Yale was a hot favorite over Harvard, but yesterdays contests altered matters greatly, and the wise ones had leaning toward the Crimson long before the day was over Yale showed that she is weak in the 100, 220 and 440, and she has not a man at all in the half, while Harvard has good all-around strength in each of these. The Crimson men may not come away with first places in all cases, but they will pick up points here and there and add vitally to their score. Experts figuring on the events closely expect that Harvard will win, that is, barring accidents and unex- pected cutting in here and theEe by the smaller colleges.
