WHAT IS A GAME oF FooTBATL2

The question was raised in Burtis- land, Scotland, police court on tNe 32d ult, when a batch of three young lads were charged with having contravened the town council by-laws with respect to the playing of football on the links The trio pleaded not guilty and were defended by MT. Thomson solicitor. According to the evidence, it appeared that the three lads had been seen kick ing ball over a portion of the links, and that, at the instance of the city surveyor the police had brought up the case The defense was that the kicking of ball on the links was not a game of football, and the prosecutor admitted that the bylaws were somewhat ann bignous, and that he had doubt astto what they meant. Provost Wallace did not see that the lads had contravened the by.lAws and dismissed the case. Immediately thereafter other six young men and lads were similarly charged. The evidence was of similar nature as in the first oase with the exception that six were kicking the ball as against thfee in the other instance. The judge deoided that contrayention of. the bylaws had taken place, but i'm posed no penalty, not even an adn1oni- ton, and notice of appeal against the decision was lodged by MT. J. P. Gill mour, solicitor who acted on behalf of the accused,

WORLD CHALLENGE IS NOW ACCEPTED Jimmie Watt, of Bridgeport, Will Bring Team Against
 Independents. C0LLETT MAKES PROPOSAL Fifty Dollars to be Posted With Journal Courier as Evi-
 dence of Faith.
C0LLETT MAKES PROPOSAL

In reply to the world challenge of Huber's Independents announced in the Journal-Courler yesterday morning, Jim Watt of Bridgeport. comes out with the announcement that he and hls team will give Huber's five a game just as soon as they like and for as much as they can dig up.
 Watt stated to the Journal-Courier last night that he would individually roll Conett, Janswiek, Huber or any, one else in New Haven for a stake of $500, which might be reduced as low as $50, but not lower
 Hardly had this announcement been made when George Collett of Huber's Independents calmly sat down and penned a letter to Mr, Watt telling him in the politest of manner to put up or shut up and to cut out the gas and get down to business
 Because of the hazy wording of Watts general challenge some definite point to start from seemed necessary and MT Collett proposes the following
 That the first of q series of matches be played on the Tuxedo alleys this city, December 20.
 In one man match the winner of four out of seven to take the points. Elch side to put up $25 on this match,
 In a two man match the victory to go to the winner of three out of five games. The stakes to be $25 side.
 Tn a three man match the game to so to the winner Of two out of three matches. The sides to put up $50.
 A five men match to go to the winner of three out of five games. The stake to be $50 on each side.
 In the challenge 1t Is stated that the New Haven team Is made up of en- tirely New Haven men and that the Bridgeport team should be made up of Bridgeport players A return game is to be played should Bridgeport so de- sire.
 The challenge also states that MT. Collett and the Independents will put up $50 forfeit with the Journal Courier as an evidence of good faith and that Jimmie Watt is to cover 1t or forever hold his peace.
 In regard to Watts personal ehal- lenge, Mir. Collett will meet him any time, any place and for any amount with side bets galore.
 Interesting developments are expect ed.
