Many of the old standing Naval
Academy records were broken Satur-
day afternoon in the dual field and
track meet between Navy and Haver-
ford College.
The Navy boys were in excellent
form, but were given as keen and
close contest as they have had for
many years. At no time did the
Navy have a walkaway and their OPP
ponents were close after tham in every
contest. The total points made by
the Navy was 67 and that of Haver-
ford As. At the conclusion of the
contest, with two trials remaining

circle Around The Sun

The streets were dotted everywhere
today with groups of people gazing
skyward. What attracted the atten
tion of those ON the street was a
strange phenomenon. Around the sun
there appeared q large ring of tints
resembling the rainbow colors. The
sight was a strange and curious one,
and many citizens past the ages OF
three-score- -and-ten declared they had
never seen the like before. One we'll
known citizen advanced the theory
that the peculiar condition might be
due to snow furries held suspended
in mid air, upon which the suns rays
are reflected. The past few days
have been very cool and there has
been snow and hail in the mountain
diptricts. An effort was made TO have
a we'll known local scientist advance
some theory for the strange phenome-
non, but without Esuccess. The ring,
which was some distance from the sun.
was visible from shortly after 10
O'Clock until early in the afternoon. EM

WASHINGTON, April 25.-In an impo rtant

Taft gave assurance to an inquiring friend
that there was no intention on the part
Of the Government TO lower rates on the

Wallace, our chief engineer, and q railway
manager Of experience, thinks that the
proposed changes will not have much
in fEence on transcontinental rates because
he thinks that but n small proportion Of
that which goes TO make up transcon tinental
freight can be carried by the Isthmus.
The Panama Railway Company owns
three steamships which ply between New
York and Colon. We shall mako the rate
