Prospect Park, Baltimore, was one
of the most successful Of the race
courses last year in the Maryland

tions have been filed with the Circuit
Court at Towson for racing dates as
follows: June ,, 3, a, and 6, and
September s 9, 10, IL and 12. Last
year at Prospect Park its fall meet
ing outclassed any ever given there,
though the meet was during the same
days as the one at Plmlico. Another
date applied for is September 20.
President II. II. Brehm has succeeded

TALKED ABOUT SOME
ANIMALS He HAD NET
Ernest Thompson-Seton Lee
turcs in Friends Meet
ing House

The lecture of Ernest Thompson.
Seton in Friends Meeting House yes
terday afternoon under the auspices OF
Friends School. was one of the most
thoroughly enjoyed affairs of its kind
ever heard by a Wilmington audience.
The meeting house was crowded TO
It's utmost capacity, the galleries ana
side seats being packed with an ap-
preciative audience. while the whole
middle section was reserved fer the
pupils OF Friends School. for whose
benefit the lecture was given.
The front seats in the church We're
occnpied by the smaller children and
they RANGED back to the graduating
class in the rear. There wac goodly
sprinkling of school teachom. partlc-
ularly those of the primary depart
ments OF the public schools.
The speaker presented animal lie
in "a different way than il was ever
presented before 10 an audience here.
He did not refer to the animal body,
but to its mind, his yeam OF study
among them having given him a clever
insight. Every point was clearly IL
lustrated by stereopticon either from
drawings made upon the scene or by
actual photographs.
The first animal TO be taken up by
Mr. Seton was the fox. He showed in
a clear and concise manner by looking
at the tracks Of the animal that he
could tell what it was thinking about
and assisted by his pictures, made his
meaning so clear that even the smallest
child could grasp the idea.
The lecture was for the children, the
grown-ups merely being allowed to
listen to il. None of Il was directed
10 them yet they all left feeling highly
entertained
The subject that he treated longer
than the others was bears. their habits
and disposition. He told how he lay
in garbage pie in Yellow Stone Parb

Football.

The University OF Iowa athletic
authorities are considering a plan TO
change the shape OF their gridiron
from that OF a rectangle to an oval
resembling the shape of the football
itself. II is argued that in this way
the spectators could see the game to
better advantage. 1t Is hard to see
what advantage q change of this kind
would have.
The naval cadets are said to be
making an effort to secure the SER
vices of T. II. Yost. for two years
coach OF the University OF Michigan
football team. No definite arrange
ments have been made between Yost
and Michigan, which leads the mid
dies to hope that they will yet secure
this wizard football coach. Yost for
merly made 1t his policy not TO re-
main at any one institution for more
than one year. He has now been at
Michigan two years. and it is time
for him to change. If the middies get
Yost IL will behOove West Point to be
on the lookout next fall.
