In 1895 the astronomical world was
deeply Interested BY the discovery OF
an asteroid. Eros. whose mean distance
from the sun Is less than that OF the
planet Mars. Now the no less
interesting and remarkable news that
an asteroid has been found whose mean
distance Is greater than that OF the
planet Jupiter. This body was discov-
cred az the observatory OF Heidelberg
last February, and since then the cal
culation OF It's orbit has revealed the
fact that when ar ~aphepIion the little
planet Is about 100000 miles outside
tho orbit OF Jupiter. The provisional
designation OF the new asteroid ia
-i906 T. G. This discovery increases
the probability that the minute satel-

Jupiter are captured asteroids

FAST TINE IN AUTO RACE
Italian Car Makes 324.6 Miles in 219
Minutes on Speedway.
NEW RECORD FOR UNITED STATES
Course Has But One Grade Crossing
and No Serious Accident Occurred
and But Few Minor Ones
Results of other Races.

LONG ISLAND MOTOR PARKWAY,
oct 1i.-By his marvellous driving Of his
Italian car, 234.6 miles in 219 minutes, in
the motor parkway sweepstakes for stock
cars selling at $4,000 or over. Herbert Lyle
not only broke this country's speed record,
but he demonstrated the success of the
new 100000 speedway for a speeding
course. AS a spectacle and as a crowd
getter the simultaneously run races were
far below expectations. There were few
spectators.
Lytle hit OF a high speed Immediately
ION his release from the starting line, where
the cars had been sent off indian file, thirty
seconds apart, and kept 1t up with hardly
a fluctuation from 6.25 miles per hour.
Only second in interest was the close RI
valry between Drivers Sharp and Bourque
in the Garden City sweepstakes. The for
mer covered 1875 miles in 1893 minutes. 1t
was a nip and tuck race for many miles.
Experts present instantly praised the
track. 1t shows wonderful advance in auto
mobile speed track construction, and the
effect OF the complyeted nine miles of
tw"enty-two-foot cement course is reflected
in the results. The fact that the track had
been carried over or under all grade cross
ings but one eliminated a great source Of
anxiety. delay and danger The almost un-
precedented freedom from even minor ac-
cidents shows that most of the horrors OF
the sport can be eliminated by carrying
out the plans of the builders of this track.
The race also showed the great advance
made in car building, for all the entries
were stock cars, with minor changes adapt
ing them to track work. The only at all
serious accident was to Mechanician La
Mond in Driver Millers car, contending in
the Garden City sweepstakes. He was
thrown out and sustained a leg fracture.
The driver took a spectator to the seat
and continued the race. The results:

tain possession Of the ball. A fight re-
suited that was soon quelled by trainers
and coaches.
Captain Dillon. quarterback, was unable
to play on account of injuries and with
seven other men on the sick list today's
tie was not altogether unexpected.
Princeton had several chances to score
when the ball was advanced to tho Lafay-
cite ten yard line, only to have a penalty
for ro~ughness inflicted. Lafayette clearly

sctOus and Five Taken to Hospital.
Schenectady. N. Y, Oct. ia san
culinary record for the foot ball season was
established Saturday by the teams of
Union and Wesleyan colleges, seventeen
players being rendered unconscious during
the game and five of them being so SER
iously hurt that they we're removed to the
hospital
The officials united in saying that the
game was the toughest and most hard
fought they had ever witnessed. From the
instant the ball was kicked off at the be-
ginning of the game the players contested
every inch of ground bitterly. The game
had to be stopped time and again when
the players were injured or knocked sense
less. After nearly every scrimmage some
one was found to have been hurt so SER
iously that he could not rise from the
ground.
That the teams were evenly matched is
shown by the score of nothing to nothing.
