Many Special Trains.

Special trains from New York and Wash
ington brought heavy loads of visitors all
morning. There was constant exchange
of greetings as the newcomers were met
by friends and carried away to luncheon
before the game. Everywhere the blue
an dgold of the Navy and the gray, black
and yellow Of the Army was in profusion.
From the hotels the streamers of the land
an dsea forces were hung from windows
and festooned about pillars and balconies
in the lobbies. Miniature flags and chew
rons graced the sleeves of men and wo-
men alike and from coat lapels and bos-
oms hung yards of the ribbons of the ser
vice. Yellow chrysanthemums were the
favorite flower and there was scarcely a
maid who did not have one or more fast
ened to her gown. The falSis did a marvel
Gus business about the hotels. Some Of
those who will see the game have travel
led from the far corners Of the globe. and
the flags and emblems they had used at
previous games were not brought along.
Hence a new supply was necessary.

MANY HIGH OFFICIALS ATTEND

Phildelphia, Nov. 26.-Philadelphia
was the common meeting ground OF
people from all over earth today With
a royal standard floating from the roof
of its loftiest hotel, chiefs of the two
great fighting branches Of the Federal
government rubbing shoulders with
foreign diplomats, heads OF the national
administration and legislators lounging
about the hotel Hobbies the centre Of the
city had a cosmopolitan air. The swish
Of wOmen's skirts was not lacking to
give the indehnable charm that such an
atmosphere demands. Fair maids and
matrons aplenty thronged the streets
and railroad depots and wended their
way with joyous faces. Above all,
proudly snapped the Star Spangled
Banner. Serenely conscious Of the
strength that lay I'm its folds the red,
white and blue emblem Of America roll
ed its colors lazily on the stray breezes.
Far above the moving crowds in the
streets the flag waved from the STATS
Of tall Office buildings and smiled upon
the happy throngs. A stin wind scat
tering the breezes found Old Glory
ready for battle.

Choice Lot Of Feeders Top Chicago
Market at 7 Cents.

Mr. George f. Kirby, who is an ex-
tensive feeder at his Quarry farm, has
sold the first of lot of cattle that he
bought in the southern part of the
state about year ago. The car load
shipped to Chicago were Poll Angus,
and thirteen of the sixteen head ship
ped topped the market, bringing z
cents. or rs cents higher than the
Iowa experiment station cattle, Ames,
which were sold on the same day. The
remaining three head brought 6 cents.
John Davidson, manager of the Kirby
farm who has had personal supervision
of the feeding, accompanied the con-
signment. The steers have been on full
feed since the first Of September. Mr..
Kirby has sixty more head that are
Just now going on full feed, and will
be ready for market in March. The
Chicago shipment is pronounced to be
as fine a lot of steers as has been in
the yards for many months, and the
simple fact that they brought a higher
price than the experiment station cat
tie would indicate their quality.

Corresponding Day Last Year.

Merchants in retail lines report an
excellent business Saturday, and de-
clare they have no complaint whatever
to offer. The T.-R. made an effort to-
day to ascertain in a general way the
business done, and found merchants
generally satisfied over the results.
Business is declared by all to have
vastly exceeded the corresponding day
last year. Merchants are contemplat-
ing an immense business this week,
and many are adding to their forces OF
clerks. in order to handle the rush. One
merchant said today that he lost a
great deal Of trade Saturday because
his fifteen clerks could not possibly
wait on his customers as rapidly as the
latter desired. Staple goods moved
rapidly in all lines Saturday, and holi-
day shoppers, both from the country,
smaller towns and the city We're out
in. large numbers. Business was also
good today, for Monday.
