nulging Pavement.


 There is a bulging section of the cement pavement on Dexter Avenue that Is the most awkward proposition to dignified pedestrian possible to imagine. It Is located just in front Of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company, near the curb, and is so deceptive in appearance that weak knced brother Is liable to fall pros trate.
 The stone bulges up about two Inches, sloping gradually back to the level of the pavement on both ends. In walking hurriedly one does not stumble on striking this stone. but rises sudden " or Is forced to take short step and break dignified gait.
 If you want to be amused on an afternoon when the street Is crowded stand near this place and see how many people who pass over this bump turn and lcok back with an injured air This especially true of the self-tm- portant individuals who stroll down the street oggltng the pretty dears.

LIVELY FOxING BOUTS.
Sports Well Pleased at Central Insti-
tute's Athletic Show.

Another good program of foxing, wrest-
ling and fencing exhibitions wal given by
pupils OF Professor Troxler at the Central
Institute last night. The foxing bouts
seemed to please the crowd the most and
although tame compared to straight box
ing with regulation gloves, it is, neverthe-
less, a good substitute.
The wrestling bout between Edward
Bakley and Alfred Osdosvski was a feat
ure, Bailey getting a scissor and half
Nelson on his opponent, winning the bout
in two minutes and forty seconds
The star foxing bout Of the night was be-
tween John Bendokas and James Dupuzzo.
The former, who is a terrific puncher,
stopped his opponent In the second round.
Thomas Johnston was substituted and made
a betetr showing.
Professor Detano defeated Captain Tinney
in a fencing bout by II points to 3. In the
broadsword contest between Professor De-
tano and Captain Tinney, Detano again
was successful. The show concluded with a
splendid exhibition of strength by william
Socio, "the champion strong boy of Amer
ica,' who toyed with heavy weights and
broke cobblestones with his bare fist.

The games of the past two weeks have
been little more than workouts for the
big college elevens. The first games which
should really try the mettle of the big
Five will be played tomorrow. The
schedule will bring together four teams
who played one another to a standstil
last season. Little lswarthmore and big
Pennsylvania played a o to 0 game in 1906.
They will clash tomorrow at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia. Cornell and Colgate,
which played another no-score game last
season, will meet at Ithaca. Harvard will
take on Williams, which held the Crimson
to a Z to 0 score last year. Princeton will
face Bucknell and Yale will sample the
strength of Holy Cross. The Tigers rolled
up 81 points to 4 against Bucknell in 1906,
and the Ellis won from the Worcester
team, II to O. Considering those past per-
formances the games tomorrow will be
of vast Importance.
PRINCETON, Oct. n.-conslderable sat
isfaction was expressed in Princeton yes
terday over the outcome of the game with
Wesleyan, but. at that, a whole lot are
puzzled more than ever as to the Tigers
real worth. 1t is generally conceded that
Yale bucked up against a much stronger
outfit than Princeton did, and the quantity
of points secured belied the orange and
blacks numerical superiority. Still, the
Tigers have reached the century mark in
two games. The outlook might be much
darker, considering all.

BIG ATHLETIC MEET.
Prominent Entries for Field Day at
Elizabeth Tomorrow.

ELIZABETH, Oct. 11.-What will with
out doubt be one Of the greatest set Of
athletic games ever held In the State of
New Jersey is scheduled to take place at
Atlantic League Park tomorrow afternoon.
Men who have won championships in their
respective specialties in this country, and,
in fact, In all parts of the world, will be
seen IN action. Men who have been sent
as representatives from their native coun-
tries in contests of Drawn and speed at
the worlds championships in Athens,
Greece, last year will positively compete
against the pick Of the metropolitan dis
trict. Con Leahy, the great Irish high
jumper, who is in this country on a trip
of conquest, and who won his event at
Athens and winner of the American cham
pionship at jamestown September 8, will
be the scratch man and will concede
handicaps to the best jumpers in the dis
trict.
Melvin Sheppard, winner of the American
championships at 900, $50 and 1000 yards,
and conceded by experts to be one of the
greatest middie-distance men that the
country has ever produced, will be opposed
In the special half-mile invitation by PAM
Pilgrim, of the New York A. c. Pilgrim
won two events at Athens. Harry Hay
wood, New York A. c.; Frank Reilly,
Irish American Athletic Club, and August
zing, New York A. c., will also start in
this event.
The one and two mile events will bring
together Jim Sullivan, Irish-American, the
one-miler national and metropolitan cham
| pion, and Johnny Joyce, of the same club,
former cross-county champion of Great
Britain. He is also the five and ten mile
national champion.
The three standing jumps will bring out
Ray Ewry, of the New York A. C. Ewry
is undoubtedly the greatest jumper the
world las ever produced and holds records
for various jumps that will probably stand
for many years TO come.
The two-mile relay will be fought out
between the New York A. c. and the
Irish-American A. c.. Both Sheppard And
Pilgrim will start In this event, n for
that reason asked the committee to have 1t
placed as near to the end of the program
as possible. so that they may AVE time to
recuperate from their exertions in the
half. Sheppard will do his best to break
Charley Kilpatrick's record, which has
stood for so many years. At Trenton last
Saturday he came within three-fifths of u
second of doing the trick, and that was on
a soft track.
One Of the events which will be OF
especial local interest will, be the hundred,
closed, for the championship of Union
County. This event Is conceded to Billy
West, of the New York A. c. and Am
herst. West is a resident OF the county,
and has been negotiating the distance in
close to even time in practise, and 1t looks
as though he had the event already won.
The contender should be Vests former
running mate, Fred Ross, Of the Elizabeth
Town and Country Club. N'
James e. Sullivan. president Of the A. A.
u. of America, will referee the games.
They will start at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
