PRINCETON AND DARTMOUTH
ARE AGAIN AT PEACE.

New York, Feb. 17.-Princeton and
Dartmouth have, it is said, settled the
differences which resulted in football
games between the New Jersey and
New Hampshire colleges being called
off two years ago. The story which is
being waited around town is to be
taken as a fact
The source from which this informa-
ton comes makes it seem quite GER
tain that the past has been forgotten.
Negotiations are said to nave been
completed and all that is needed Is
their ratification by the athletic au
thorities at each college. 1t is pro-
posed to play game next fall on the
Polo field gridiron. The date is set for
Nov Z, the week preceding the Prince
tun-Yale game.
Dartmouth has been looking for
game with one Of the other strong col
lege teams beside Harvard. and the
failure Of Cornell and Princeton to
agree on a playing field gave the Han
over management just the desired op-
portunity, and one that Princeton was
anxious to accept.

PROMISING GREEN MARE
DIES IN ALABAMA

Boston. Feb 1.-THE unwelcome
news comes from Selma, Ala, that the
black mare Sadie Fogg. by The Direc-
tor General. died there, after a brief
illness, Friday night
The mare was the property of T.. II.
Peck of Providence, a known
member of the Gentlemen's Driving
Club of Boston and an enthusiastic
horseman. The death of the mare will
cause deep regret, not only on the part
of the many friends of Mr.. Peck. but
also on the part of every one interest
cd in the sport. as she was considered
to be one of the most promising I'M
marked trOtterS in sight, and was eX-
pccted TO be one of the star stake trot-
tiers of 1908.
Mr. Peck purchased the mare in the
fall of 1905, when she was a 3-year-
old. paying $4,000 for her. after she
had shown sensational speed over the
Lexington track. She was placed in the
stable of Lon Mcdonald to be trained
and raced. Since that time she had
been followed by all sorts of bad
luck.
