B2OWN OF HARVARD.
Mr.. G. P. Coleman Author Of New Book
of That Title.

The firm of q. T.. Putnam's issues
today the novel Brown OF Harvard, -
which is of special interest To- Annap-
olitans for being the work of a fell
low -townsman, Mr.. q. II. Cole
man, of the Naval Academy. Those
who have read his clever short stor-
les in the magazines will be glad to
see that his pen is equal 10 the sus-
tanned effort OF a complete novel,
which as a first novel is the more re-
markable because ii was struck off
in only five weeks and during the
authors term-time duties at that.
The title page bears also the name
of Mrs. Rida Johnson Young, the
author of the play Brown of Har-
ward, which was given here by
Mr.. Woodruif's company last winter.
Mrs. Young's version was altered
somew hat 10 suit the taste of Mr..
Woodruff and his stage manager, and
Mr.. Coleman's story, while adj
herring more closely TO Mrs. Young's
plot, differs from it in several import
ant points, especially in toning down
certain unpleasant melo-dramatic situ-
ations which may succeed on the stage,
but would hardly be taken seriously
in a story. In fact, the book Brown
of Harvard may be said to be based
on the play rather than mere noveli-
zation of the play.
The drama has furnished the illustra-
tions and, roughly, the plot, but the
flavor, interest and reliability of
the book are to the credit of
Mr.. Coleman. What is, perhaps,
the most effective chapter in the
book-"the story of Skimpole Mac
Sean--is an episode that owes moth
ing whatever to the play and is in
fact an artistic little short story in
itself. A point that will interest Har-
ward men is that the author has taken
pains TO get accurately the ''atmos-
pheren of Cambridge and Harvard I;
and any college man will grow remi-
niscent over the genuine, happy -go-
lucky scenes of the yard and dormi-
tory, where the undergraduates are not
the solemn divinities of the House
of Kuppenheimer, but rollicKing
boys, the mis- named student type
of our American colleges today.
The first edition of the book is one
of the largest that Putnam's has issued
in recent years, fact significant of
their confidence in the success of
Mr., Coleman's work. This conf
dence every reader is bound to share,
for the author has succeeded in writ
ing the kind of story one does not
lay down unfinished, where there is
penty of action, love, heroism and
villany of the real world kind, where
the plot is full of snarls that keep one
hurrying to the end-in short, a
breezy, delightful story of college
life

PRESIDENT GETS A PASS.
II Is Gold Card Admitting Him TO All The
League Baseball Games.

\ gold card, elaborately engraved,
was presented to President Roosevelt
Thursday afternoon, emitting him to
free admission to baseball games in
any one or all of 256 cities of the
United States. The presentation was
in some ways an interesting occasion.
A delegation consisting of p. T..
Powers, of New York, Eugene f..
Burke, of San Francisco, III. Far
rell, of Auburn, n. Y, and M. j..
Regan, of Boston, officers of the Ma
tional Association of Baseball Leagues,
called at the White, House, and after
they were shown into the President S
Office Mr.. Farrell read a speech to
Mr.. Roosevelt, beginning, ''Mr.
President: A nation is known by its
sports and continuing at some
length.
1t was inferred that Mr.. Farrell by
the use of the word 'ssports" did not
refer to persons but to games, for Pres
ident Roosevelt in replying paid a
high tribute to baseball. He said il
was the typical american game and
was to be appreciated, especially be-
cause men of middle age could play
it. The Pres ident also received from
his visitors, lin addition to the speech
and the admission card, certificate
of honorary membership in the Nation.

matters connected with .the reports
were referred to the City Counsellor.
The Council then took up several
matters connected with the improve
ments. Upon motion of Counsellor
Riley the grade for Conduit street
was ordered to be approximately as
it is at present and the construction
of a catch basin was ordered in or
der to catch the drainage from Union
street and turn it into Spa creek. No
change was made in the plans of
Charles street at present, but the mat
ter was laid over for future considera-
ton.

.EFFICIENTNORKOF BATTALION
THE HONOR SYSTEM is GREAT
SUCCESS.
ST. Johns College Cadets Makes Fine
Showing at The Inspection.

The inspection of the battalion oi
cadets at st. Johns College last We'd
| nesday made 10y Captain Lenihan. oi
the General STAFF, United States Army,
was, as n whole, assuredly the mosi
satisfactory that has ever been made
at the College.
The cadet corps as whole is a mag
nificent body of young soldiers. well
set up, and with competent and
efficient officers.
They certainly deserve great credit
over their last years work. The con-
dition Of the rooms since the inaugu-
ration of new system of daily in
spection which has been in vogue foI
the last year, certainly has done won
ders for the improvement of old Pink
ney and Humphries Hall.
The boys have certainly had instill-
ed into them ideas of neatness and
order, such as they never realized be-
fore they are capably and .splendidly
oflicered. Their work in all ceremo-
MES, both close and extended order,
practical field work, such as marching
for four or five miles out into the
country, advance and rear guards,
outpost duties, and practical demon
strations in minor tactics as to the
up-to-date methods of attack and de-
fence, all were very intelligently ex-
ecuted in every respect, proving, be-
yond a doubt, that old st. John S
College will graduate n set of young
gentlemen who, when called upon
for war, will prove themselves to be
valuable officers TO assist in mobi-
lizing an army.
The foundation of this efficient work
which was evidenced at Wednesday S
inspection and was remarked by
those in civil and in military life
who witnessed it, was laid by the
military commander of st. John S,
Major w. A. Thompson, who has
brought the battalion up TO its pres
ent degree of efficiency. Major
Thompson has done much by his
faithful and efficient work to bring
the cadet corps to its present degree
of efficiency. lie has done q great
work both in the military department
aud as a man among the students. lie
has exerted a powerful influence over
those who have gone out from old st.
Johns, by making them feel that
they are men, and that, after all, it
should be the aim of colleges today
TO turn out men of action, men of
character, men of force and men of
courage.
BY Major Thompson's personal in
struction and personal intercourse
wi ith the student body no student can
help thinking and feeling that he has
purpose and an aim in life. Every
cadet of the battalion deserves credit
for the work he has done this year
and the fine showing he has made.
Major Thompson thinks the basis of
success is the true patriotic spirit
imbued in the breast of every stu
dent. This, together with the honor
system introduced with this graduating
class, has resulted in the success that
has done so much credit an honor to
the college battalion at its recent in
spection.
The honor system is the keynote of
success at any college or institution,
and its Inauguration at old st. Johns
has largely brought the cadet corps
up to its present efficient standard of
excellence.

Children In Costume.

The entertainment given last night
by the Ministering Children's League
in the lower room of st. Anne's Chapel
was great SUCCESS. There were nu-
merous patrons, all of whom we've
we'll pleased. The children assisting
and serving were costumed in very
fetching characters. Those serving
the ice cream were gowned as Colo
nial Danes and many OF them repre-
sented in their dress the famous Mary
Washington of Colonial days. Some
of the boys who sold cake and
flowers were costumed as German
bakers. The scene was very attrae-
tive. Miss Kate Randall who super
vises the work of the Ministering
Children's League. was assisted last
evening at the flower table by Mrs.
Pinney, wife of Lieut.. II. l.. Pinney,
u. $. N, who materially assisted
in making the entertainment for the
young folk a success. The Minister
ing Children's League is doinga most
commendable, charitable work under
Miss Kate Randall, who takes great
interest in the noble cause Of helping
sick or disabled children.

as the direct representative of King
Victor Emmanuel, of Italy. As such

On his arrival at the Naval Acad-
emy this morning he was given sa-
lutte of twenty-one guns and the mid

CROWDS OF HOTEL MEN.
Are Greeted BY The Governor And Feasted
at CarVeI Hall.

The steamer Louise brought down
seven hundred people from Baltimore
yesterday in the party of Hotel Men.
On the steamer hospitality was dis
pensed with a lavish hand. Upon tho
arrival of the party. headed by the
Naval Academy band they marched TO
the State House and were received by
Governor Warfield.
The Governor made happy little
speech of welcome to the visitors and
threw open the State buildings To
them. The Governor paid high tri-
butte To Mr.. Jerome III. Joyce, the new
ly elected president of the organiza-
tion, and told of the honored position
which his father, the late State Sena-
tor Joyce, of Baltimore, held in the
community. After the address of well
come Governor Warfeld received tho
bonifaees and their wives i'm the old
Senate Chamber.
Because of the fact that the Naval
Academy Band had been engaged by
the hotel men to furnish music both
coming and going, the land drill by
the midshipmen ON the Academy
grounds was abandoned, but water
drill" was substituted, and proved
equally as entertaining. The boni-
faces were also given the liberty of
the lgrounds, and those who desired
were shown through Bancroft Hall.
At 8 o'clock dinner was served to the
guests at Carvel Hall. There were
over seven hundred visitors at the
hotel and delicious menu was served,
champagne flowing in abundance. In
honor of the visit of the hotel, Mana
ger O. III. Foster provided each guest
with a souvenir menu card, which was
of strikingly handsome design. The
cover contained photo of the Naval
Academy grounds and a bird's-eye
view of Annapolis. The banquet was
over by 8 o'clock and the visitors
again boarded the Louise, which reach
ed Baltimore about IL o'clock.

A BIG DAY FOR ATHLETICS.
SEVERAL SPORTS AT NAVAL
ACADEMY.
Nayy.c Columbia Crews Race And Field
And Rifle Teams Contest.

This was another big day in athletics
and the last Of the really big days of
the season. There will be events in
four lines of sport rowing, baseball,
field and track and rifle shooting.
The rowing, field and track sport and
Tifle shooting will be at the Naval
Academy. while St. Johns furnished
the baseball.
The latter was q game with Wash
ington College, of Chestertown, this
morning, one of the games of the
Maryland Intercollegiate League. The
Navy.crew will row Colubmia and
ii will be the last and undoubtedly
the most interesting of the races of
the main Navy crew. Since Column
bias victory over Harvard last Sat
urday, it is recognized that the New
Workers have strong crew and the
midshipmen will have to pull their
hardest TO win. The crews were as
follows:
Naval Academy Davis, bow Bagg,
2; Pritchard, 3; White, 4; Leighton,
8; Rockwell, 6; Mckee, z; Ingram,
(capt). stroke. Average weight, ia 3-4
pounds. Coxswain, Roberts, l22
pounds.
Columbia-Snevily, bow; Jordon.
2 ;..Spaulding,S; J. Mackenzie, A Won
Sataza, 5; G. Mackenzie, 8; Boyle,
(eapt.) a; Cerussi, stroke. Average
weight, 165 3-S pounds. Coxswain,
Winslow, 100 pounds.
In the field and track athletics the
midshipmen will have Swarthmore
as their opponents. Swartbmore has
always done well in this branch of
sport and its team is probably little
stronger than the Carlisle Indians,
which made n close fight against the
Navy last Saturday.
The rifle team will also have its
last match, shooting against the team
of the Seventy. first New York Regi-
ment. The visitors won in their match
last year by n close score, but the
Navy team is much stronger this year.
With the visitors is Sergeant Boyle,
admitted ito be one of the pest all
round shots in the world.
