Barbarian Team Puts
Up Fine Rugby
Its Victories Since Seasons
Opening Scored In De-
ciSiYe Manner
By William Unmack

That the Barbarian Rugby team is
playing in much better form than ever
before Is evident from its decisive VIC
tories since the opening OF the season.
When they met the Stanford freshmen
last week the latter played splendidly
In the first half and the black and
white could not get past their defense.
IN the second half, however, the Bar
oarlans scored try after try IN quick
succession Their team work was fr-
reslstible and 1t would have taken a
more experienced defensive team than
tne cardinal babies TO stop the mag
nlneent passing rushes OF the Barbarian
or the forwards
The splendid playing OF the freshmen
IN the nrst half viii long be remem-
bered by those who witnessed the game
Iheir attack and defense were superb
ana on more than one occasion they
Were within an ace OF scoring
Another game, which ably Demon
strated the Development OF Rugby. was

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 19.-
The Stanford varsity defeated the Bar
barian Is this afternoon by score OF
% to 0 in one of the best exhibitions
of Rugby ever witnessed here. The
game was fast and spectacular from
the start to the last whistle, with
much of the play in the open.
The varsity showed fine teamwork
though the men had not practfced to-
gether, and the heavy serum wore out
the Barbarians. The Stanford team as
a whole outpointed its opponents In
every department. Two freshman
players on the varsity showed eSpe-
cially well and these men, Erb at halt
and Brown at full, seem likely to re-
tain their places.
The freshman-sophomore Rugby
game. the second in the intercollegiate te
SERIES, was played today and ended in
a no score tie 1t probably will be
played over next week.

The Barbecue.

The largest crowd in Brandon
for many years attended the
the celebration of the glorious
4th here last Saturday.
The day was perfect for the
occasion and in all the vast crowd,
estimated variously at from l, 500
to 2, 500 people, there was nothing
but the very best of good order,
with not a single unpleasantness
to mar the fun of old and young.
Each seemed bent on having the
others forget the everyday hum
drum of life, with the result that
their efforts brought out the
cheerful looks that can only be
worn by those who are on pleas
ure bent and have left the cares
behind.
Pitard's unrivalled orchestra
rendered sweet music throughout
the day and the people listened
to the Congressional candidates
present their claims. Messrs.
Collier, George, Maj. Henry and
DR.. Hallam spoke in the order
named. Each received respect
full attention and all of them
were entertaining. Of course,
in Maj. Henry's own town the
crowd could not have been other
wise than in sympathy with him.
Senator McLaurin also made a
short speech and any one could
tell at a glance over the packed
hall that his hold on his people
was as strong as ever. His
magnetism is as great, his argu-
ments as convincing as in former
years, but one could see that his
service~in the Senate has broad
ened and ripened the splendid
intellect by contact with the
brightest minds the different
states could send to that august
body of big men,
The barbecued meat was well
cooked, which is not always the
case at a barbecue and the citi-
zens of this town thank their

Report of the Superintendent of
Brandon Sanitarium for Year
Ending June Both, 1908.

/ q
The total number of patients ad-
mltted during the year was o2; of
this number 43 were surgical, al
were medical, obstetrical and 2
were not treated
During the year 10 deaths have
occurred and most of that number
were known to be fatally ill when
they were admitted to the institu-
ton.
The operations that have been
performed during the year in not a
few, but number of cases, have
been serious ones, and the results
satisfactory.
The number Of days service
gwen to patients were 1856, and
$3,046.99 were received from pa
tiets, nurses services, etc.
The amount of money paid out
for salaries, etc, was S., 1894
There is still due the Sanitarium
$l92.77.
At the end of the first year the
Brandon Sanitarium has $746. 80 to
its credit, after paying all debts,
and we feel more. than satisfied as
it is unusual for any sanitarium,
hospital or institution of the kind
to even pay expenses the first year.
We wish to thank all of those
who have been thoughtful enough
to donate flowers, fruit, etc. forlthe
sick under our care.
