Boueher's Woodland Proved Most
Attractive And ENJOYABLE.

With the dance following the EIk's
tournament on Monday night, the sea
son at Boucher woodland and pavil-
ion was closed for this year During
the summer and fall the pretty little
pavilion ON the high bluff overlooking
the Spa has been patronized most
literally by the Annapolis aud East

got their moneys worth, and general.

With the opening of the season a
number of improvements had been
made and now that the resort iscIose ii
for tins year, contracts have already
been let by Mr.. Boucher for even
greater improvements to be started at
once in preparation for next season.
Notwithstanding the large number
of persons who have been ferried
across the Spa from the handsome
little park at the foot of Market street
not single accident of any sort has
occurred to mar the pleasure Of any of
the outings or dances.

Middies And The Farmers.

Although the football field of the
Naval Academy is in O soggy eondi-

night and today, it was thought that

cultural College would be PLAYED &C

ed in the former contests, but the
coaches will probably follow the usual
policys of giving all likely men a
chance in the game. The Farmers are
not in the class with the Midshipmen
in the knowledge of the game and con
sequently the sailor lads expect to take
another easy victory Today's game
will afford the Middies another op-
portunity of handling wet pigskin.
Although the game with ST. John s
two weeks ago was played in a heavy
downpour of rain, the Middies were
able to grasp the slippery spheroid
tightly and only two fumbles were
made in that contest

thirty days in Jail with fine of $50

furnishing Tydings with the stone
with which he cut young Magruder's

TO DEBATE ON AMENDMENT.
JOHN P. POE CHALLENGES
SENATOR RAYNER.
Announcement Made At Big Dem
ocratic Meeting In Balti-
more Last Night.
BOTH ARE ABLE ORATORS TO
HANDLE SUBJECT.

At a big Democratic mass meeting
held at the Lyric. Baltimore. last
night, the climax of the evening came
when Mr.. John Prentiss Poe, q we'll
known attorney of Baltimore, in Civ.
ing a reasonable explanation of the
| proposed amendment to the Constitu-
tion restricting suffrage, suddenly
caused during his talk and openly
challenged United States Senator Isl.
dor Rayner for a joint debate upon
the suffrage question. Mr. Poe stated
that he would meet the Senator in
debate any time next week Mr.. Poe
asks that there be clear, calm dls-
cussion Of the issue and that there be
no personalities used.
The challenge of Mr.. Pee. whose
name is On nearly every tongue as con-
neoted with the amendment, was
brought about through the recent let.
ter Of Senator Rayner, in which he
declared his strong opposition to the
measure aud attacked the Democratic
political bosses. incidentally it may
be mentioned that few DAYS after
Senator Rangers letter was published,
challenge was issued by him to Sen
ator Arthur p. German for a meeting
in joint debate. No acceptance has
yet been Forthcoming from this chal-
lenge, although congressman
Joshua W. Miles, in letter Yesterday
replied TO Mr.. Rayner's attack, in
which he stated that Rayner had made
some promises to support the amend
ment TO further his interest in secur-
ing the United States Senatorship.
The meeting last night was a very
enthusiastic one. Mr.. Poe was loudly
cheered, as, with his face white
| through the excitement engendered
| by the cheers of the audience, he
turned again to the reading of his
speech. After the meeting a large
number of prominent Democrats
| crowded around him and congratulate
| ed him on his bold stand In view of
Mr., Rayne-'s declared willingness to
meet Mr.. German or Mr.. Poe, it
seems to be certain that joint debate
between two Democrats fully qualified
to handle the amendment will take
place
Former Governor Aycock, of North
Carolina. preceded Mr. Poe on the
platform. He spoke in Baltimore
during the last presidential campaign,
when he made a most favorable i'm
preston. He did not disappoint his
audience last night. He is an enter
tanning talker. A year ago he was
invited to make six speeches in Mary
land during the present campaign.
Last night was his first and only APP
pearance. He did not like the Poe
amendment when he first read il, but
last night he praised it, and yet il is
far more drastic than the North Car
volina suffrage law.

S. ]. C. Pigskin Heroes

The game between Richmond Col
lege and st. Johns, which will be
played here on Saturday, is being
looked forward to with great interest
by the students. Although Richmond
College made poor showing the first
part of the season, 10 has improved
very much in tho last two weeks. Last
Saturday they played with William
and Mary's College and were only
scored on by a drop kick from the
field. On the other hand the college
team has improved a 'great deal TIE
games with the heavy teams of u. of
V. and Navy have given the team con-
fidence in themselves, and the exper-
fence gained from these games has
been great help TO them, even at
the cost of such large scores The
game between st. Johns and V. M.
on Saturday was thought to be the
prettiest game ever played ON the V
M. /. grounds. Although the advan-
tage seemed TO be with the Virginians
for the first half as the score, 10 to n
showed, yet in the second half the ball
was mostly in Y. Nj. rs territory.
and the advantage all seemed To be
with St. Johns But they lost their
best chance TO score during tho first
part of the second half when they fun
bled on V. NJ. rs. 20-yard line. The
team which viii lineup against Rich.
mond College on Saturday will be the
same team which played against y. NJ.
/. with the exception of Duval, who
has not yet recovered from a sprain
which he received in the Navy game.
Melvin, who has been playing a good
game all during the season, will prob
ably take his place at half, although
some Of the other substitute backs
will likely be tried ont during the
game.

One of the details in the restoration
Of the old Senate Chamber et the

quished his commission is the old desk

Candidates, s; Props, o.

The eleven of Professor Wilmer S
Preparatory School yesterday after
noon defeated the st. Johns College
Preparatory team by score of to 0
on the latter's grounds. The game
was close and interesting one and
looked like a nothing to nothing con-
test until the candidates, after hard
line bucking. finally showed Captain
Richardson, their right tackle, over
for touchdown from the yard line
Goal was failed and no further scoring
was done by either team. 1t is under
stood that the candidates are arrang-
ing game with the Plebes at the
Academy and want number of other
games. They will soon meet the
eleven from Professor Werntz's school
also. 1t is said that Captain Richard
son, who was the star of yesterdays s

smiling near the judges desk, admir-
ing her little hero who had ventured
so far to witness her acting, that he
hadn't "stolen" the money, but had
just tooken" it, and. further stated
that the next time Miss Paige appear
ed at the opera house and he was
financially embarrassed, would do it
over again.
There was a silence of few mo-

the magistrate had a long subdued
conversation and the judge afterwards
announced that the pretty little actress
hadlpleaded for the boys release, stat
ing that she would gladly return the
amount to the boys employer or any
amount that he might name and also
pay all court costs if the boy could
only be liberated Now what else
could Southern judge do but give
the boy his full liberty with rather
