wedding superstitlons.

It is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at
one door and leave after the ceremony
by another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piece Of her wedding cake.
1t is said to be unlucky TO tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away.
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore

healthy, etc, in the future, and she
should always be the first to call her

After the wedding breakfast and re-

there are any about her. The brides

COLLEGE GOLFERS.
Championship Lies Between Harvard
and Princeton.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
GARDEN CITY. L. l., October 21.-The
intercollegiate golf championship now lies
between Harvard and Princeton, with the
odds somewhat in favor of the former. The
situation is practically the same as last
year, and history seems likely to repeat
itself. Columbia, Pennsylvania, and Yale
were put out of the contest yesterday, the
former being completely euchred. while the
other two respectively scored only III and
points, according to the intercollegiate
system. Columbia was worsted by Prince
ton, Pennsylvania by Yale and Yale by
Harvard. In the preliminary morning round
Pennsylvania would not have scored at all
but for the bad putting Of Bruce Smith of
Yale.
Columbia was in an equally hopeless con-
dition. Two of her players, Slosson and
Blake. were in the intercollegiate contest
last year, and Jackson is a well-known
Westchester member. but the others stood
literally no chance. Slosson and Blake held
