LoNDoN's RIVER PosTMEN.

How Mail is Delivered to Sailors
 on Their Ships,
 London has the distinction of being the only port where the ships lying at anchor are privileged to have their let ters delivered to them by river post men, it being customary at other ports for sailors to apply personally for their letters unless the ship Is in dock. The Thames is divided into two postal dis tricts, each under the control of a river postman, who delivers letters and par cels every morning in a craft which resembles O, fishing boat more than anything else. Of these districts the first extends from the Custom House to Limehouse, and the second from Limehouse to Blackwall. The river postmen start on their rounds punc- tually at 8 o'clock every morning and, needless to say. there Is only one de- livery day. The mailbag may in clude as many as 800 letters, but this number is largely increased about Christmas time. As he glides from ship to ship the river postman calls out: "Ahoy there!" and hands up the letters attached to boathook to the waiting crew.
 It only takes from four to five hours to deliver the mail. so that the postman does not waste much time. In foggy weather, however, it takes considerable longer, owing to the difficulties of find- ing the various ships and of steering in between the large vessels as they lie at anchon At such times there is also a great danger of being run down by passing ships. As a general rule the river postrnan works down the left bank first and then returns on the other side. It is not generally known that the task of delivering the river letters has been more or legs a family monopoly for several hundred years, and the fUrebears of the present post man of the first district have been en- ployed at the work almost since the letters were delivered to ships on, the great tideway at all. In recognition of their services in this direction George III presented the family of Evans with the freedom of all the ports in the kingdom and silver badge weighing 16 ounces, which is, of course, much prized as an heirloom.
 The river rGstmen have also their own uniform, consisting of the dark coat anl trousers usually worn by Thames rivermen. but bordered with red and bearing the postman's service badge. In winter the river postman's S work Is extremely trying, owing to the intense cold, and 1t is bf no means an unusual thing for the Spray from the river to cause his clothes to freeze till they resemble boards. But he has all ways the consolation of knowing that at the end of his service he will be able to settle down for the rest of his days on comfortable pension.-Ex- change.

 Patch Breaks Worlds Record.
 Syracuse. the doughty football eleven that scored nine points on the Yale champion eleven of last year, found it impossible to do anything to endanger the blues goal line on Saturday. Yale as last year ran up three touchdowns, the final score standing IS to 0. Yale's defense proved strong, and Syracuse did not have the ball in Yale territory during the game. Yale succeeded in getting but one touchdown in the first half, but in the second half the attack was more deadly. Jones, the freshman quarterback, and Forbes were the stars of the game, while Shevlin and BigloW also distinguished themselves. Films work at fullback was especially effect i've. The score: Yale 16, Syracuse 0.
