RACING ENDS. AT SYRACUSE.
Three Well Contested Events on the
Grand Circuit.

Syracuse. n. r. Sept. 15.-Three
well-contested events brought the
Grand Circuit races to a close at the
State Fair grounds here Friday even
ing The third heat OF the Consola-
ton race furnished the keenest sport.
Ann Direct and Lord Quex were to-
gether for quarter of mile. Ann
Direct had slight margin to the
three-quarters, where Lord Quex
broke. The field was beautifully
punched entering the stretch and
there was a furious drive to the wire.
Ann Direct was not equal to the pace
and Imperial Allerton won with Ken
meth Mac second and F1exo third
Nickel Grattan won the first heat
OF this race, but in the second and
third heats finished last. His driver,
Putnam, attributed his work to sick
ness, and although one of the eligibles
for the fourth heat, he drew his horse,
thus sacrificing third money, $500, to
the association.
The Grand CIRCUIT judges announc-
ed the expulsion of A. L. Thomas for
Withdrawing his horse Main Sheet
without permission from the Chamber
OF Commerce stakes on Wednesday.

HARvARD's FooTBALb TEAM.
Must Begin Practice Monday According
to Coach Reid.

Boston. Mass. Sept. 15.=Followers
Of football at Harvard were dumb
founded today when William 7. Reid,
Jr the head coach, announced that
the candidates for the varsity eleven
would go into secret practice Monday
morning
It is one of the most radical depar-
lures Mr.. Reid has undertaken, but as
he has q host of new plays to work
out under the revised rules he is de-
termined that other colleges will have
no linking Of his plays or formations
until they are sprung in regularly
scheduled games. Heretofore Harvard
never before went behind closed gates
until the latter part of October.
Harvard evidently intends to have a
very strong kicking department this
fall. Foster, the captain, and vic
Kennard easily led the crowd with
their efforts

saker was telling the senate about his
santipass amendment 70 the rate bill, and
announcing that when the time came
for the discussion Of the amendments
lie would tell his colleagues and the
country why, in his opinion. the rail-
roads ought to be prohibited from Civ
ing free transportation to passengers.
I Senator Hansbrough of North Dako-
ia interrupted him to inquire If, in
Forakers judgment the adoption Of The
amendment would prevent the Great
Northern road from issuing passes to
the farmers Of that state in order to
have them once q year visit the state
agricultural college at Fargo Foraker
replied That he thought this amendment
would forbid such practice.
Hansbrough then announced that he
favored the general principle of the
Foraker amendment, but would be sorry
to be convinced that it included affairs
such as he had just discovered. He
then stated further that he would pre-
pare an amendment to the Foraker
amendment
Asked what this amendment would
contain he said that Il would make it
