100000 FOR TWO COLTS.
Sale Will Place Fayette and Sir Mar
tin Under New Owner Abroad.

NEW YORK. October S.-When Sir Mar
tin and Fayette. the best two-year-
colts of the season, arrive in England the
latter part of this month they will prob
ably be placed in the stable at Newman
ket leased by Harry Payne Whitney. The
young millionaire patron of the turf has
been anxious to purchase the youngster
for a month. and negotiations to that end
have nearly been completed.
A few thousand dollars stands in the
way of the sale It is known that John
F. Madden has been >lding out for
500, 600. He claims that $4,000 each is
not too much to ask. Fayette. he says.
is the equal of Sir Martin. although the
latter beat the former frequently last
summer In private all horsemen agree
that Fayette could easily beat Sir Martin.
Tt is on the basis Of early morning GAL
lops that Madden maintains that Fayette
is worth every penny that he asks for Sir
Martin.
A. j. Joyner. one of the most astute
horse trainers in this country, is anxious
to have the colts in his charge. He knows
that Mr.. Whitney's string of horses is
weak in the three-year-old division. and
he wants the two sons of Ogden to train
for the EPSON Derby.

EARLY COLLAR WEARERS.
Neck Decoration One of the First
Signs Of Civilization.
om the London Globe


Mans first real step forward toward
civilization was the assumption OF a coll
lar. 1t is true that the early collar was
more like necklace and that it WAS
made of teeth or cowrie shells, the teeth
being the spells Of some enemy. such as
a man of another tribe or a wild beast
which ii was credit to have killed
And il is curious thing that the neck
should have been the first part of the
body to be decorated. II comes before the
head. with the band of grass or hide into
which feathers were stuck, and which
evolved into the crown in one direction
and into the hat in the other 1t comes
before the wrists, on which bangles have
developed into bracelets and the kindred
cuffs, before the waist and long before
the fingers. II was this primitive instinct
for a1orning The neck that led the .Afri-
can chiettain to reject all other forms OF
European raiment and to bedeck himself
with the paper collar of the wandering
white man. And the more important d
man became the greater was the number
of strings Of shells or teeth that he put
round his neck. until he became as swath-
ed as Beau Brummel or the prince regent
and no doubt as dignified.
But then comes the curious gap In his
tory. The ancient civilizations were not
habitual collar wearers, but that was
probably because they lived round about
the Mediterranean. where il was too hot
to wrap up the neck and because they
looked on il as a baroarous thing to do'

FoRDHAM DATE CHANGED.
Other Items From Georgetown Foot
Ball Team.

Otner Atens from homegrown ROOT
Ball Team.
The date of the Georgetown Fordh n
game, which was to have taken place ir
New York October 81, has been changed
to election day, November 3. This post.
ponement of the contest was made neces-
sary because the faculty at Georgetown
refused to allow the team to go away
from home while the annual retreat was
in progress. This ends November 1. and
hence the managers easily agreed on cleo
ton day as the best time for the contest
since that day is practically a holiday in
New York city, and the game therefore
should draw large crowd. The change
of date also helped Fordham. as she
plays Princeton October %. Before only
two days interviewed between that battle
and the one with the Blue and Gray
eleven. and the New Workers were only
too willing to lengthen out the time. as
they are especially anxious to take a
victory from Georgetown.
The practice at Georgetown this week
has consisted to great extent in scrim-
mage work. Church, an old Notre Dame
player. has been up on the hill giving the
boys few points. and for the past two
days Coach Newman has let him take
charge Of the scrub eleven. Acting on
what he saw in Saturdays game. New
man has been trying the men at differen,
positions. and by the looks of things he
is beginning to decide on his regulars
Just who he takes best to will be seen
by the lineup he puts in Saturday against
the Baltimore Medicos.
Two good men were lost from the SQUAD
last week in the persons Of Thomson and
McQuail. Thomson. who played half last
year. was out for a couple days in suit
but has since decided not to enter ~chool
this fall. and hence will not be seen play
&c
year. This is severe loss, as last year
good punter and also an adept at handling
the forward pass. McQuail. who played
tackle for two years on the Props, has
found that he has not got enough hours
in Freshman to make him eligible for the
varsity. so he has gone back with his old
team mates.
The Props have been working faith
fully since their defeat by Western and
are rapidly showing signs of Improvement
So far they have only Played the two
games with Western, OF which one was a
victory. Manager Stanton. however, an
nounces that the rubber will be played off
the last of this month. In addition to
this they have arranged games with
Technical and Eastern high schools, and
Washington School for Boys and AleXan-
dria Episcopal High. Negotiations are
also being carried on with the other high
schools OF Washington and with q couple
of outside prep schools. These will be
concluded in few days, and it is ex-
pected that the completed schedule will
be announced within week. q

Colonel W, A. Harris, EE-United
States Senator, has grown up with
the cattle industry in Texas. He has
had years OF experience in the cattle
business, and has seen It grow from
almost an insignificant beginning. In
the early days Of the cattle industry
IN Texas the long.h0rns ranged all
over the territory, and II was thought
impossible to produce the better beef
breeds. Texas IL now able TO export
the very finest cattle. not only to other
bLates. but TO nearly every country
OF the Western Hemisphere.
Secretary G. r. Thomas Of the
Hereford Association has represented
thia breed Of cattle In various capac.
tiles. His ability as q Judge OF cat
tie. and q producer Of fIne stock, Is
recognised not only in the United
States, but has carried him to South
America
Dr. Andrew M. Souls, president Of
the Georgia State Agricultural Col
lege, has probably stood before more
agricultural audiences in the South
eastern portion Of the United States
than any other man. He is 4 splendid
speaker. and has learned his sub
jects well by hard work in his chosen
profession.
DR.. c. A. Cary. superintendent Of
the Farmers Institutes OF Alabama,
may correctly be said to have grown
up with this organization, In the
early part OF the organisation Of the
Farmers Institute in that State the
difficulties seemed almost insurmount-
able. AZ the present time his au-
dlences are numbered BY the thous-
ands. Dr. Cary has had about twenty |
years OF experience in the State of
Alabama alone, and consequently IL |
thoroughly familiar, not only with |
that State. but OF Florida as well.

to the people Of Florida to need any
