a very important part of the work
was the investigation of the haunts
and wandering of fish. The study was
carried on chiefly by marking thousands
of fish by means of small wires. There
are buttons at each end of the wires.
and the time and place of turning each
fish loose is marked on the buttons.
1t was found that the larvae of the
eel are met only in the deep portion of
the Atlantic and far-naching con-
illusions were reached from this fact
as to the wanderings. of the full grown
eel and its young. The general law was
deduced from the astonishing wander
ings of many fish species that they can
never be seriously affected by merely
local conditions
The observers believe they have
proved that the growth and productive
ness of fish is subject to such mighty
natural influences. such as climatic
changes In the various regions which
they frequent. that they may be re-
garded as independent of the interfer-
ence or the fisheries OF man. 1t Is GER
tain that man has considerably reduced
the number of plaice, haddock, and cod.
in some water, but not to such an ex-
tent as to have more than a temporary
effect upon fishing interests. Man can
not exterminate them.
The work will probably be continued
for years to come, and the International
committee which is directing II has no
doubt that other splendid discoveries of
both practical and theoretical interest
will be the outcome Washington

REDEMPTION FUND.

Donaldson said It was not believed
among the sporting fraternity that the
anti legislation would pass. particularly
in New York where million dollare,
he claims. had been put up as re-
demption fund with which TO fix votes
and ofiicial influence where most need
ed. Jim ISeene put up s250.O00 of that
himself, but it seems to have not
brought about the desired results. II
was only one vote that did the business
but that one vote was enough. There
will be no more racing in New York or
New Orleans; the race tracks Will be
sold and cut up for residence property,
for which they are well situated Dom
aidson expressed belief that Salt Lake
would make a good racing center OF
the sports We're allowed to come here
there could, just is Well as not, be

Typical Sporting Man of Salt
Lake Discusses Anti-GambIing
Laws Recently Enacted.
SPORTS WANT HORSES HERE
They Paint Glowing Picture of

Only LOCALIZED,

Jim Donaldson, the sporting man, who
certainly understands the sentiment OF
ahe "profesh" in this city. IL any one
does. says It is the general belief among
''the boys" here as elsewhere, that the
anti-gamblinE laws recently enacted In
New York and Louisiana have come to
stay" and the sporting fraternity IL
making its calculations accordingly. He
says not only is betting done for good
on the tracks, but pool rooms can no
longer be run out IN town, as the use
Of the telegraph is being prohibited by
race track Arrangements who have no
use for the pool rooms, and only in
formation can be sent out by the tele-
phone which is under the immediate
supervision of the race track offices.
When asked il II was not possible for
scouts ON the outside to gain some
which to ascertain results by use of
field glasses and signals, Donaldson
replied that such a scheme would not
work because the element of uncertain
~ would enter too strongly into it.
Wrong information would be given to
the pool rooms, and after the bettors
had been bit two on three times ON
false information, IL would operate
TO choke off the whole pool room bust

Yale and Harvard Triumphant.

Yale and Harvard both won in Satur.
days football contests, the former
triumphing over Princeton and the latter
winning from Dartmouth lale's victory
came about in manner similar TO that OF
last year. the score being II TO 6. Prince
ton showed clear superiority in the first
half when il scored one touchdown and
prevented Yale from being dangerous. In
the second period, however, the sons Of
Eli rallied in a remarkable manner and
beat down the orange and black defense
so two touchdowns were secured. Har-
ward defeated Dartmouth 6 to 0, scoring
the only touchdown of the game with only
two minutes to play. The touchdown fol
lowed magnificent display OF ground
gaining helped by several finely executed
forward passes. Schildmiller, formerly of
Brattleboro, did splendid work for Dart
mouth and is called one OF the greatest
ends in the country. The results of these
two contests has greatly increased inter
est in the Yale Harvard game tomorrow at
New Haven. On paper the Harvard team
is the stronger. but it will have the old
Yale spirit to cope with.
The east was easily superior to the west
in the Pennsylvania Michigan game, the
former winning 20 to 0. The Cornell
Chicago game stood 6 to 6. Williams beat
Wesleyan "a to 4, Amherst beat Middle
bury 81 to 5, Syracuse beat Tufts % to 0,
and Brown beat Vermont u to 0.
Williams and Amherst will meet on the
latter's field tomorrow afternoon and a
close contest is expected. although Will
liams has shown up stronger in its early
season games. Morse, captain and center
of Williams and well known here, will be
able to play after an absence of several
