/ The task of feeding the hungry
multitude was ably taken care of by
four local lunch counters, run by
the Baptist church, the Cemetery
Association, the Epworth League
and M. S. Trowbridge. Happy
Harry, the Hamburger Boy, tickled
the palates of the crowd with his
sandwiches, while the ice cream
cone booth, new feature, did an
enormous business. Every avail
able foot of stand room in the
desirable locations was occupied,
The doll racks and cane banks,
ocean wave and museums all got
their share, and an odor of burning
money pervaded everything.
The fair was remarkably free
from casualties and accidents. Only
one occurrence of the kind took
place, and then without serious, re-
suits.
While the single driving horses
were being shown on the track, two
of the rigs in passing at narrow
point in the track collided and
turned both buggies over, throwing
the drivers out and damaging the
turnouts to some extent.
The wild west exhibition given by
Broncho John and his gang Of roust-
abouts was rather a disappoint-
ment. While this in a measure is
due to the fact that wild west exhi
billions do not attract the attention
that they did in the days of Buffalo
Bills maiden efforts, this exhibition
lacked MANY of the realistic features
, which make the average show of
this kind worth seeing. The bucking
broncho was tame compared with
the wicked horse that was subdued
here two years ago, and an air of
burlesque hung over every effort
that drew jeers and cat calls from
the crowd. The management of the
fair is not to be blamed for this, as
the show came very highly recon-
mended.
The races were excellent. and
pronounced the best ever seen in
the circuit. Following is sum-
mary Of the events in the speed
department.

With the immense crowds that
were in attendance each day it is re-

Divorced Woman to Him.

Rome, Dec. 29.-The Vatican au-
thorities have received circumstances
from several American bishops against
the 'audiehcess granted by the pope to

bishops were not worthy of the honor,
which it is added created dissatisfac-
ton among the faithful.
The pope has also been informed
that among the persons presented to
him a few days ago was an American
woman who had been divorced This
irritated the pontiff, who declared that
such a presentation must not occur
again!
The officials of the Vatican are also
recalling that two Americans recently
refused to kneel when the pope ap-
peared and the persons having au-
thority in these matters have been or
dered to be more strict in arriving at
decisions upon applications from
Americans for audiences of the pope.
American applicants in the future
must be recommended by their re-
spective bishops or have their applica-
lions supported by a recognized Of

Not to Abolish the Game.

. Syracuse. N. Y, Dec. Z9.-President
Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell uni
versity, in an address before the asso-
cfated academic principals of the state
of New York last night, placed himself
on record as a staunch friend of foot
ball, declaring that the recent criticism
Of the game "if not hysterica1 and
frenzied, is at least one sided and IN
fair"
President Schurman urged that the
game should not be abolished. Modify
It he suggested, so as to remove the ex-
ira hazards, but to abolish it he as
serted, would be to do away with the
most popular sport of the youth of the
country and Of the American people
themselves.
President Schurman's theme was
National Greatness and he devoted
considerable attention to the physical
basis of manhood. In the physical
training of the youth, Dr. Schurman
declared outdoor sports take the place
in this country of the military service
in Germany.
