Walter Camp, secretary OF the inter

The belief is growing at Yale that Mr..
Camps I0-yard rule Will be tried next
year. There seems TO be strong senti-
ment In favor ~ this rule. Yale men
believe that something must be done TO
save the game and they think that this
rule will do more than anything else to
open up the game az the public wants II

horses were Hyacintn. Hannibal Bey.
Pasadena and Lieber
The quartet were favorites. but as lib
eral prices were offered against each the
owners and friends OF the stables bet
heavily on them and won large amounts.
The best backed horses were Hyacinth.
Hannibal Bey and Pasadena. Dick Bauer
was sure that Hyacinth would win the
opening dash, and money fairly poured
in on the hlly from first to last, and
she closed a TO 8 favorite.
Sewell waited with her behind Glada-
tor TO the stretch, where he gave her
free rein and she won galloping by five
lengths.

His Figures are High.

Gen Elbert Wheeler of Boston,
treasurer of the Palatka Water COM
pany and financial head of the New
England syndicate owning water
plants in a. great number of southern
cities, terminated his visit to Palatka
on Wednesday,. Gen. Wheelers
visit to Palatka at this time is due
no doubt to the fact that the bond
trustees of Palatka, having sold the
bonds voted for a municipal water
plant, have been authorized by the
council to go ahead and construct.
A municipal plant, furnishing water
at greatly reduced rates to the peo-
pie, would make the Boston monopo-
ly with it's exhorbitant prices to con-
sumers take q rear seat in the local
water supply business.
Some have been saying that the
visit of Gen. Wheeler at this time
indicated that he would offer the
Boston company's plant to the Bond
Trustees and that a price would be
named which that board would prob
ably do the wise thing to accept.
This is a mistake. Gen. Wheeler
did not fix a price at which his
company would sell its Palatka wa
ter plant, but he stated that he "be-
lieved his company would consent to
sell to the city for S1l2,000"
OF course the Bond Trustees would
give no such price. In fact it is
doubtful if they make the Boston
company an offer.
But they will go ahead and con-
struct a municipal system just as
rapidly as possible.
