Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 2S-(Speeial.)- Todays decline was brought about by the further liquidation of Wall street long interest, even the holdings or August, which exceeded the stock here were thrown in during the last hour. If they had been strongly held August could have been sharply advanced to- day. On this decline the southern mer- chants have been generally short on the fine outlook for the crop, while on this basis they appear to be buying slowly in expectation of a reaction un- der. a damand from spinners which should now appear. This buying has been the main support as the local in terests were buyers yesterday after noon and early this morning, in fact, all seem to be looking for rather bet ter prices on the bureau report of Tues day next.

YALES CHANCES.
LOCK GOOD FOR
1898 SEASON
BY BOHEMIAN BULGER.

~ EFORE the middle of November
X Yale is going to have another great
~ team. They didn't play football
at West Point Saturday because they
didn't have 10. Another reason is that
the Bulldog is a very cagey institution
When the Blue warriors went to battle
with the Army they saw the familiar
faces of Capt. Eddie Dillon. Of Prince
ton, and Coach Roper, and the features
of few other well-known enemies of
Yale in the crowd. These experts were up
there to see what Yale had to offer in
the way Of new fall styles. They saw
nothing more than any OF you might
have seen ten years ago. before the for
ward pass and the onside kick was ever
heard Of.
Yale played straight old-fashioned
football, and managed to score the only
touchdown that was desired in that
manner. The Army played as II they
didn't dare attempt to score. The
cadets were perfectly satisfied to boot
the ball into Yale territory and play
the game safe. They were fighting for
a no-score game.
In the first half Yale didn't dare try
to buck the army line. because the ball
was in the Blue territory most OF the
time, and = tumble might have proved
fatal.
Army Commenced to Wake UP.
In the second half the commissioners
from the other college began to see
Things. They saw that Yale had one
Of the strongest lines that Old ELI has
ever turned out They saw that Coy
was q good kicker, but not always ac-
curate. They saw that Biddle, the CEN
tire rush, was a very bad passer. He
caused Coy to bungle UP kick on sew
t. II occasions because he passed the
ball high above the fullback's head.
They saw that the Bulldog was en-
dowed with the same old grit. and
that when the chance was offered for
touchdown the backs were strong
enough TO carry It through.
All of the big teams are going TO have
trouble beating Yale this season. 1t
looks like the same old story. With
Capt. Burch and other stars out the
machine worked almost well. Not
once during the entire game did West
Point succeed in making a first down.
In kicking. Dean proved to be the
best man that the Army has hr 4 for
years. but the entire team depended
upon him to keep the ball out OF dan
ger.
In Fitzpatrick. Yale has developed an
othr Tom Shevlin. He is a powerfully
built fellow, and has that bulldog ag-
gressiveness that sends him plunging
through the line every time he starts.
He runs low. and instead OF trying TO
go over the West Point line he fire.
quently went under 1t. and smashed up
everything In front of him.
