ENGLISH TRACK MEN
PASS Up COLLEGE Def

Yale and Harvard track athletic Off
cials were keenly disappointed in failing
to receive from oxford and Cambridge
universities the answer to their cahalenes
for meet In America this summer. The
challenge was sent three weeks ago, ana
the Americans wished TO confer after the
Yale-Harvard dual games relative to the
details OF the meet, which they take for
granted will be held although details
cannot be perfected till the answer from
the Englishmen Is received
Despite the non-arrival OF the answer
Manager Rowe of Harvard and Man
ager Summer OF Yale discussed plans for
the meet and agreed that their preference
of time and place are still July In
the Harvard Stadium although these will
be changed II the English universities
wish. A detail which Will probably be
adopted Is that the best two athletes in
each event will be started by the Ameri-
cans, even IL they are both from the
same university. No rule requiring one
from Yale and one from Harvard Will be
adopted. There will be four starters in
each event, two Americans and two Eng
l!shmen. 1t has been learned that the
Rhodes scholars from America in OK
ford VIII not compete.

$4,000 Brooklyn handicap run over a mud

him run for the stakes which amounted
20 $4,000 TO the winner. Mr.. Keene. after
much persuasion, consented.
When the bugle sounded the crowd came
pouring out OF the betting ring on TO the
lawn and in the stands until nothing but
men and women could be seen from club
house TO field. When Go Between. follow

on to the muddy course, there was a roar

CHRISTMAS,

Nineteen hundred and seven wears
ago IN the town of Bethlehem in Iudea,
FaIestine, was born a baby who was to
become the Savior Of the world. In
some respects the world was prepared
and looking for His coming. 1t was at
peace, Rome tlourished and the Greek
language was the literature of the EN-.
pre-. While the prophets Of Israel had
4oo years before phophesied of the
coming Savior, yet He came not as the
world expected Him to come, but low
y meek, born in manager, rocked in
the cradle of poverty. Yet this child
OF destiny was guarded by the great
God OF the universe. The stars, angels
and wise men gave this special spot
honor. His name is called Jesus, the
Son of Man and Savior of the world
thus do we Christian people celebrate
His birthday December 18th 1t is the
best and should be the most sacred
and halowed of all days. We should
see that every little child receive
present to make them merry and hap
py. Let our hearts ring out glad It'd
ngs and good cheer to all. The By
stander extends to all her readers and
especially her subscribers Merrl,

POSSIBILITIES OF THE AMERICAN
NEGRO.

To the student of history, especially
ancient, who has studied the rise, de-
cline and fall of monarchs, kingdoms,
empires, nations and races and has
noted the rapid progress and exception
al capabilities exhibited in the Ameri
can Negro cannot but arrive at one
conclusion, viz: That the Negro has
been cast along lines that is as fixed as
the stars in their courses. You have
read of the power of the black man
in ancient times, his valor in battle, his
eminence in letters, his skill in science,
his genius as an inventor and his pa
tience as a servant. Slavery while
curse may have had some redeeming
features. It was purgatorlal neces-
sity between African slavery and Amer
lean wealth which prepared us to be-
come competitor in the most advanced
civilization of the world, yet in the
short space of fifty years living among
this splendid civilization some few OF
our race have reached the highest
fame, which is indicative of what pos
sbilties ahead in the next fifty years.
One thousand years is but short time
to develop a race. Space prevents me
from giving a large number OF lndlvld-
ual greatness exhibited in the race. In
war the blood of Crispus Attacks,
which appeased the British wrath and
cemented our union, down to San Juan
Hill will ever stand for Negro vaor
and patriotism. In education the names
of Booker T. Washington, Prof. W: t.
3 Dubois, Profs. Kelly Miller, and }:
C. Price and J. w. E. Bowen will stand
among the best. In the field OF inven-
tive genius stands the names OF Gren.
Vile T. Woods. w. T. Scarborough and
400 other inventors. In science, art,
music and poetry the names OF Dr.
Wheatley and Dr. Daniel H. Williams
Tanner S. Coleridge, Taylor and Dun,
bar will always be sung with now ooo
students (estimated) in the universities
and higher institutions of learning, ana
witt, the door of opportunity partially
open are there not many posslo1Ilties
vet left for the earnest. honest, am
bilious young Negro to grasp and come
out at last triumphant over environ
ments.
