GRAND OPERA HAILED
BY TREMENDOUS CROWD.
Spectators Made m Good Thing on
Ticket Sales.

SPECTATORS Made N Good Thing on
Ticket Sales.
New York, Nov. 21.-Society hailed
the opening of the season of grand
opera under the management of Hen
rich Conried at the Metropolitan Opera
House tonight with an outpouring of
enthusiasm almost unparalleled. Never
in the memory of the oldest Of opera
goers was such a rush for admission
witnessed.
During the early hours of the even
ing the lobby of the opera house was
besieged with hundreds, who almost
fought to gain access to the box Of
flee. Before the overture was ended
there was not ticket to be had, and
1t was only with the utmost difficulty
that the fact could be impressed on
the crowd. which was so dense as for
while to block the entrance to the
house.
Tickets in the hands of spectators
reached fabulous figures, SIS to $50 be-
ing in many Instances paid for two
stalls, while $40 represented the small
est sum that could secure admission to
the topmost gallery. This remarkable
demonstration was in great measure
due to the magic of the names of Mime.
Emma Eames, this being her reap
pearance, after an absence of one sea-
son, and of Mr.. Caruso, who returns
to repeat his triumph of last year.
The presentation. of Aida, the work
selected for the opening of the season,
was in every respect worthy of the
tremendous reception accorded to it.
The great throng that filled every
seat and every inch of standing room
fairly throbbed with the enthusiasm
that hailed the appearance of Mime.
Eames as Aida and Mr.. Caruso as Ra-
DANES. Both these artists We're in
magnificent voice and achieved a dis
tict triumph. Never has the vast audi
forum of the Metropolitan presented
such a magnificent spectacle. Proba-
bly, in no other great city of the world
could be seen such a dazzling display
of wealth and beauty such magnif-
cence of costume, such brilliance of
gems as was presented tonight in the
vast expanse of the stalls in the grand
tiers of boxes and even in the upper
galleries.

RECORD BREAKING ADVANCE SALES
FOR THANKS GIVING GAME
MATHEWS KISSED BY
WHITE SCH00LMATES
PLAYED PLUCKILY.

Negro Member of Harvard Team
Finally Knocked Out by Yale.
The following is an excerpt from the
story of the Harvard game print
ed by the New York Press:
''An account Of the main features Of
this most savage battle cannot ignore
what to the football expert was an in
significant incident of a game tenn
ing from the players or the trainers
viewpoint, with circumstantial conse-
quences. This incident, to which the
lay mind turns with strange fasci-
nation, was the projection into the
Harvard line of a negro player, Ma
thews, who dslodged Randall at
left end. Yale's huge stand only
murmured. and the element of the
crowd that had no feelings in the mat
ter noted the displacement of the cap
tain of the Harvard baseball team by
the colored player with only curious
interest.
THE reception of the negro by the
Harvard stand was another matter.
From all over the Crimson section
came shouts of protest, dwindling to
angry Kisses, and at last into sullen
mutterings. Criticism of the Mathews
affair was explained as being based
on Ieuu between the DaSeDaN ana
football branches of Harvard athlet-
les The insertion of Mathews in the
middle of the game, though Randall
had not been disabled, was alleged to
be meant as an indignity to the white
player Nothing to support such a
claim was produced, and least of all
the protest of Randall himself, which
there was none.
Certainly it could not be said that
the change was a strategical mistake,
for some of the most brilliant plays
for the Crimson We're made while
Mathews was in the game-one of
them, at least, by the negro himself,
of which there shall be due account.
Yet, though Mathews justified the
special mark of favor shown him, it
cannot be denied that his presence in
the game was resented by many of
the spectators, who did not change
their view when the negro compelled
them to acknowledge his athletic
equality with his rivals.
In a game wherein smuggling was
free and only biting barred it would
be unjust to hint that Mathews was
singled out for specific assault on any
account. 1t is the fact. nevertheless,
that Mathews was handled with
frightful violence and that, though he
gamely returned for more punishment,
he was eventually knocked out of the
fray. The finishing touch was put
on him after he had sailed into Rock
well head-on and stunned himself"

CHRISTY BENNETT WILL PROBABLY
PLAY A TACKLE FOR CHARLESTON
South Carolina College Coach Will Be Valuable
Addition to GuIIS

1t was positively asserted in Charles
ton Saturday during the Charleston
Carolina game that Cristy Bennett, one
of the coaches of the South Carolina
team. would play one of the tackle
positions for the Cults and that Sid
Smith would be put IN the back field.
Bennett played a tackle on the South
Carolina team against Charleston Sat-
urday, and his work was of a high or
der. 1t was he who broke through
the line and blocked Tutwiler's at
tempts at goals from the field.

Fugitive Convicts In Lowndes Co.
Surrendered.
valdosta, Ca, Nov. 21.-Three of the
convicts who escaped from West,
Holmes G. Coffev's camps last week
have surrendered. They were out about
two and half days and had made
friends with the dogs that were put
upon their tracks. One other convict
was caught while on his way TO the
camps to surrender. Two others are
still at large and have said they will
not return. Still more said they will
return when the guards are changed.
They do not like the guard under
whom they were working. 1t is also
believed that the recent cold weather
had something to do with forcing the
surrender, as the fugitives were tired of
laying about the swamps with the
thermometer at the freezing point.
