Several financial and business men in this city
spoke encouragingly of the situation Yesterday.
They declared that the banks as a whole were
in sound financial condition, and that if peo-
pie would keep cool the trouble would soon
end.
Charles A Peabody president of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, said: There are
various reasons for the present conditions but
II every man would stop talking about it and
the newspapers would publish nothing but the
news, the trouble would soon end. 1 cannot tell
about the immediate future but have no
doubt about the final result If the people will
keep cool the present situation will soon right
itself"
]. Edward Swanstrom, president of the Home
Trust Company of New York. expressed himself
follows: 1.-THE one thing TO my mind which
would go farthest toward restoring public con-
fdence in the banks and trust companies would
be a statement from President Roosevelt ask
ing the people to remain calm throughout the
present crisis
j. Waldo Smith, who is director in a num-
Der of banks. said that he did not look for a
general panic to result from the present crisis
Troubles such the present one may be
caused by banking institutions taking on their
hands securities which fail TO retain their
value.' he said. THE banks of New York
however, have more money deposit, as a
whole, to-day than they had a year ago. The
people should not worry about the condition of
the banks. They all right
Lewis Nixon, in speaking OF the situation
said: II see nothing to indicate that there will
be general financial trouble. AS whole finan-
cial organizations are sound and able to meet
whatever conditions confront them"

SOPH0MORES WIN CUP.
Andrew Carnegie Receives Ovation at Princeton Reaatta.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 9.-Andrew Carnegie, who some time ago present. ed Princeton with an artificial lake on which to row their regattas and for other aquatic sports, was overcome with emotion at the enthusiastic re. ception accorded him in the Brokaw gymnasium as he arose to present to the winning crew of the interclass re. gatta the silver cup offered by himself and Mrs. Carnegie for annual inter. class competition.
 The regatta was a success. In the main event the four class crews raced neck and neck for two miles, and it was only by half a length that the sophonores won out. The juniors fin. ished second. seniors third and fresh. men fourth. Little Miss Carnegie start. ed the race by pulling the whistle cord on the yacht Relief, from which MT. and Mrs. Carnegie and party viewed the regatta. The sophomores and freshmen who rowed the cockswain boat were given a handicap of about five lengths over the juniors and sen iorS. who pulled the racing shells. The latter crews overcame this lead in the first mile. and 1t was nip and tuck to the finish.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

West Points line is not holding the way it did against Yale.
 Western University of Pennsyl- vania was the fourth team to score on Cornell
 Sewanee university's tackle, Ev- ans, kicked ten goals in succession after touchdowns,
 The last game played between Yale and Harvard in which both teams scored was in 1894.
 Williams has gained much ground this fall by the onside kick, which many of the other teams have neg lected.
 For the third time in three suc- cessive years Maine and Bates have played a draw game for the Pine Tree state championship, the last score being 6 to 6.
 George Capron, Minnesotas quar- terback, scored twenty-eight points kicking goals. They are all the points the Gophers have, no touch downs having been made by the team.
 Captain Price of Washington and Jefferson is another who says Yale is stronger than Princeton. He praises the Yale defense, but says the New Haven backs will find tar tars in the Tiger ends.
 Bobby Burch, the Yale end, played opposite Teddy Roosevelt, Jr, in the Yale-Harvard freshman game two years ago. Teddy was fit subject for the hospital after that eventful game.
 Harvard has adopted bucking machine for the development of its linemen. The nature of the para phernalia makes it possible to tell just how much force the men are getting into their charges against op- ponentS.
 Atlanta, Ga. was treated to the novel sight of football team riding on the backs of herd of elephants after the recent Tech-Georgia game there recently At the conclusion of the game the victorious Tech eleven crawled upon the elephants belong ing to an animal show that was ex- hibiting near by, and employing this unusual means of locomotion, was carried to the city from the grounds Thus the eleven and squad got such a ride as falls to the lot of few peo- pie living in the land where ele- plants are not as common as horses.
 I see that "Musty' Colton gets into the game on the scrub team in the stadium with some regularity nowadays. He was the general choice for fullback on the all-inter- scholastic eleven several years ago. His brother, who scored a touch down for Springfield Training school against Harvard, was not considered in the same class as a football play CT. His forte was base ball.-Old Grad in Boston Herald.

RHODE ISLAND
 CREW TOMORROW
Fast Eleven From Another Battle ship Will Tackle All Water-
 burys-0ther News.

All Waterburys will stack up against some more of Uncle Sam S men tomorrow out at Reidville, when the strong eleven from the bat tleship Rhode Island will be here Those elevens are all well trained, for there are eight battleships now in the Brooklyn navy yard and each ship has a football team and they are continually fighting for the championship. The team tomorrow will leave New York at 6:3O and will arrive here about 10 o'clock and will make their headquarters at the Hotel Waterbury. Tomorrow night they will leave here by trolley for Bridgeport and will take the night boat for New York. George Waite will referee the game tomorrow and Mldshipman Bralton will act as um- pire. As a preliminary contest the Colts and the South Ends will battle for $50 a side.

F. E. Beardsley, Mgr.

consumers will be made the fiercer by the thought that every one of those 350,000,000 eggs, so inac- curately described as idle" though it went into cold storage and alimen- tary delight will come out at best little better than endurable, and at worst a dreary alternative to starva- ton. For we have all wintered the cold storage egg many time, and know that it tastes exactly as if it had been laid by the cold storage chicken, while with those 350,000,- 900 awaiting sale the chances seem to be large for summering as we'll as wintering the cold storage egg.
 Of course, the modern methods of food preservation are highly admir- able as triumphs of science in it's practical application, but only too often their result Is that, except at ruinous cost, We never have in their perfection the foods to which those methods can be applied. There are no longer any seasons of plenty for anything, and it is poor compensation for this that for most things there is no season when they cannot be ob- tained at all. That used to be the case, but it was no great hardship, since then, when one food was out of season. another was in, and we had a series of gustatory delights that are but ill-replaced by a dull continuance of everything. Probably we now simply couldn't feed our big cities without cold-storage foods, but that is rather an argument against big cities than one in favor of cold York Times.

POLO
JACK FAHEY
 HAS DESERTED
Returned His Transportation Money Results of all the Games
 Played Last Night. ~.

The managers of the National Polo league will hold meeting to- morrow and then will be given a final discussion of just how to get several more of the western players to come east. Jack Fahey has broken his promise to the local man. agers and has turned them down just at a bad time. If he had not stated that he would return the Wa terbury team would not now be handicapped as badly as it is. How ever, Boston is to be filled up and one or two of the other teams need couple of players, particularly Wa terbury and Bridgeport, and the trip to the west will now not be delayed. The players will come, there is no doubt of that, if they are offered enough. Ten or twenty dollars should not stand in the way one sec ond if the National league wants to be evenly balanced. The local man. agers will have to bestir themselves at once and it is more than likely that Manager McMahon will leave for the west after the meeting to- morrow.

WHY EGGS ARE HIGH.
Also an Unpleasant Hint or Two
 About Cold Storage Methods.

Heavy as were last weeks drains upon everybOdy's emotions. We are sure that most people have enough nervous energy still in reserve to en- able them to get excited again, this time over the news that four big commission firms in Chicago are staggering under the weight of 350,- 900. .O00 eggs which they have ac- cumulated in storage warehouses there. We are sure. too. that the emotion caused by this news will not be that of sympathetic sorrow for the difficulty which the four firms have experienced in carrying" this bur den in a falling market and with their banks clamOring for additional margins.
 On the contrary. the first eyclama- ton of every householder who for months past has been paying faEr .ne prices for eEge will be. So. that vas the reason for the scarcity the mar ket men have been telling us about" and the second will be the expression of a savaEeIv sincere hope that this particular corner" may go to smash immediately. if not sooner. From the way the price of eggs have been rising of late. it has been assumed that most 0f the hens in the cou1- try had gore on strike for some mys- terfous gaIIinaceOus reason. or else they had beer infected by the race suicide theories which President Roosevelt thinks have become sTzrw- ingIy prevalent In another part of animated nature It seems. how ever. that the hens are still zs in dus1ri0us ss ever and ss old fash fonad ss ever iE their ideas of duty- that the uh0Is troabBs has been d-s tO those ChicsEo men and their sE- fort tO get high prizes for eggs all the year r0g7d-

SEWELL TAKES GLEN COVE.
Wins Stakes With Rider Sitting Up- rioht at Auueduct Track.

New York, Nov. 9.-The first thing the regulars did when they got to the Aqueduct race track was to size Ill, the condition of the course, as many of the racers entered in the different events were notable mudders. The track, however, had dried out consid. erably, and they had to ''redope" their overnight calculations, as the going at the best was slow. Half of the original entrants were scratched in the Glen Cove stakes, leaving only Sewell, Alteration and Oraculum to face the starter. AS far as the race was concerned 1t was a one horse af fair, Sewell taking the lead at the fall of the flag and winning with his rider sitting up in the saddle. Alteration, the contender at one period, finished second, five lengths in front of Ora. culum, the only other starter. Thera was quite a heavy play on the winner, Sewell. The winners follow:
 First Race. Hessian. first: Miss Sain, second; Jubilee Juggins. third.
 Second Race. - Jack Atkin, first; Spooner. second; Melbourne, third.
 Third Race.-Sewell, first; Alteration, second; Oraculum, third. -.-'. Fourth Race. = Right Royal. first; Pins and Needles, second; Tommy Waddell. third.
 Fifth Race.-Sandal, first; Miss De. fancy, second; Great Dame. third.

 The crowd got sore on poor John Allen Thursday night because he let some of the shots get by him. Hon est John" received raw deal. In the first place, the ball was in Bridgeport's territory most of the time and then Allen didn't get the protection from the halfback and center that he deserved. Some peo- pie say that Woods and Griffith are working to "show up'' Allen and get goal tender of their own lik- ing. .~,-' ~. '~---,. .~- "...-.
 , Manager Hanna of New Britain is the brainiest manager in the league. Last season he started right off the reel with. a good team and got the jump on all the other teams. This year he is doing exactly the same thing. Keep your eye on New Britain.
 Evidently those western fellows knew what they were doing when they started their season two weeks before the east. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" is an old saying, and with polo players right on the ground floor it is an easy matter to keep going one better if an offer comes.
 What the National Polo league needs is dozen big, strong men who can go into the west, cage the stars out there and ship them on here as freight. It is a bad country to be caught Kidnapping in, how ever, but desperate situations need desperate means.

FOOD AND HEALTH PADS.
Freakish Experiments Made by Amer
 jeans With Their Insides.

The mania on the food question IS nearly as preposterous as the superstl- tion concerning microbes and their deadly designs on human life. In one little town, Aurora, III, there is al most an epidemic of madness on the food question. One Dr Allen started the ball rolling by subsisting eXclu- sively on raw peanuts for fifteen days, in order to prove something or other. His neighbor. Henry Spoden, became afflicted with the idea that sauerkraut was the only food fit for the human stomach, and forthwith he began to His fate is unknown, but presumably he is no saner than he was before. Then Edgar Brobst announced that the bean was the only food. He took a fifteen days course of beans before his hallucination left him. James Purcell followed with the startling announcement that green onions filled the bill with him. He stopped at the end of six days with a clear brain and fairly we'll developed case of gastritis.
 While Aurora seems to hold the ribbon for food cranks, there is req son to believe that such cranks are experimenting with themselves every where. It is merely manifestation of the Inflammation of the ego that atf1icts some persons, who imagine that they have a mission in life. The mania attacks other persons in other forms. Some nervous persons are seized with hysterical notion that they must get up in the night to excerise with dumb-bells. Indian clubs, weights, pulleys and parallel bars. The quick-lunch dyspeptic discovers that he is mortal, he is off like q shot, walking fifteen miles in a rain that soaks him to the marrow. The man of little faith sees picture of a microhe, and forthwith he takes nothing but crackers and boiled wa ter. Another reads that a raw ban ana contains three horsepower units of energy, and he becomes a ban ana fiend-and so on.
 Fortunately, the ordinary human machine is a tough old engine and boiler capable of grinding along un- der neglect and abuse. The mi crobe maniac, the exercise visionary, the dyspeptic. and the food taddist are able to carry on their freakish experiments because they have fair ly sound constitutions after all AS soon as they recover their mental balance they discover that there was not much the matter with them, ex- cepting to the head-the stomach was far more sensible than the brain. The cold. gray truth is beginning to dawn upon Americans here and there. that they are just as healthy and strong as other people if they only think so and give themselves square deal in the way of simple food. lcisurely eating and plenty of sleep. There is no reason why Americans should regard themselves as nation Of nervous wrPcks. tO he snatched from destruction only by violent and freak ish experiments with their insides.- Washington Post.
