In the Harvard Bulletin following the inter-
collegiate meeting was the following: The
best that Harvard could do was to finish in
seventh place; that is the worst showing that
Harvard has ever made in these contests
and yet it Is not quite so bad as 1t appears
TO be at first glance. Two weeks or more
ago Harvard defeated Yale in the dual
games and both the Harvard and Yale
teams hen were medc up OF the same men
who took part in the sports last Saturday.
Moreover. although there ID no way Of
proving this statement, II is believed that

with any OF the colleges Harvard would
win from any OF them. with the possible
exception OF Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Cornell, and it is by no means certain that
Harvard could not defeat one Of these
teams. There were 80 many star perform

PLUNGERS AND B0OKIES.
Precious Few OF Either survive Nany
Financial Gales.

In the last twenty years there has been
only one man who is known TO have been
successful at beating he racetrack game
to a conspicuous degree, says the Broadway
Mnodsine. That was George E. Smith,
better known as PittsburG Phil.
He was a genius, and %geniuses are rare.
He paid for his SUCCESS with his life.
He got so that he was a monomaniac.
He thought, talked and had interest only
in racing. The passion consumed him.
Nearly all the men who were prominent
as big bettors when he was one of the lead
ing figures on the turf have fallen by the
waysido. Mic acl +. Dwvcr, whose wagers
were colossal. went broke, suffered COM
plete physical collapse and was a wreck
for the last few years Of his life.
Riley Grammar, whose pyrotechnic rise
made him a national figure. has been lucky
enough of recent years to get occasional
employment as a bookmaker's clerk. Joe
Yeager. who thought nothing Of betting
5000 to a race, lasted one season.
OF the crop of plungers that followed
this quartet not one is known to be ahead
of the game. Davy johnson. who was the
biggest bettor last year, has gone broke

AS there are a number of concerns
manufacturing street lighting apparat-

whom the board would like to secure
bids on the street lighting proposition
now being entertained. the contract
for the street lamps has not yet been

been received but these will not be

close the contract for the new lights
and have them in working operation

At the 4tythian Temple Monday even
ing, was given the second and con-
GLIDING recital in Richmond, by
brilliant young baritone, Mr.. Cecil
Tanning, of Columbus. o., and his et-
ficient instructor, Mr.. H. B. Turpin-
The program selected for the final re-
cital was not as pleasing to the average
audience as the first, it being more
classical in the main, and less adapted
to one not acquainted with musical in
tricacies. This, together with the han
dicap of being in poor voice, conspired
to make the recital not as pleasing on
the whole as the one of a week ago.
However. nothing derogatory can
Justly be said of the work of the two
eminent artists. but on the contrary,
the recital was exceptionally meritOri-
GUS AS the program in it's entirety
has been previously published, its rep
etitiOn is unnecessary. Several of the
numbers given are deserving of special
mention, nevertheless. Perhaps one

was given by request as substitution
for another.
Special mention should be made of
the excellent usage Mr.. Tanning has of
the German language. His pronunci-
alton is above the average of the Ger
man student For one to whom the
German is not his native tongue. his
linguistic requirements are marvellous.
He gave in Il most charming manner
the Introduction to Pilgrims Chorus,
from "Tannhauser," by Wagner. This
was sung with wonderful majesty and
grandeur and displayed true ability. In
this introduction to the Pilgrims Cho-
rus, he maintained depth Of tone.
overwhelming in it's religious intensity.
For an encore number Mr.. Tanning
sang a childs song, his own translation
from >the German, called THE Little
Drummer This song is a most
charming composition, and is a marked
contrast to the heavier class of German
composition with which the VOID is
more familiar.
Mr.. Tanning again demonstrated his
ability in French opera and rendered
in a pleasing style representative Sc
lections from the French. MI Turpin,
in his explanatory talk on the French
opera, stated that the French is the
last of the undertakings of the vocal
student. The nasal tones required in
French are extremely difficult to ac-
quire and nave a tendency to create
roughness of tone and voice not we'll
established can not endure the French
pronunciation. Mr.. Trainings rendi-
ton of the French opera selections,
was artistically done, although his use
of the French was not as successful as
that of the German.
and Turpin will always be welcomed to
Richmond in recital work, and the St
Agnes Guild is to be cOmplimented on
affording this city an opportunity to
hear these two worthy artists. The
