slender purses or short vacations COM
pei them to remain within or on the
outskirts of the state. have already
scented the frost of tho air and are
looking forward 70 the opening Of the
hunting season with eaRerness.
The reason for this impatience is the
news that game is more plentiful than
ever before Particularly is this so
in Sussex county. where pheasants.
quail and rabbits appear in abundance.
The rabbits are more plentiful than
the birds but there are enough of the
later to furnish good sport, and the
parties from this city and vicinity
which have already been formed with
the idea of being on the ground when
the season opens, will have some rare
shooting.
Owners of the beagle hounds are
busy with their charges and have
them in the fields ana woods every
clear day. Those who have been
exercising them report that there are
more young rabbits than have been

A horse transaction which will be
of interest to lovers of fast horses was
the purchase several days ago. of

Joseph kelly, proprietor of the f~arR
Hotel, at Lancaster avenue and Union
street. The price of the colt is not
given by Mr.. Kelly. but it is said to
have cost more than $500.
The colt is a black stallion and was
sired by Pan Michael, which up to a
few months ago was owned by DR.. j.
c. Mccoy, of Kirkwood. The colt was
also owned by him. Pan Michael is
now in Russia having been sold by DR..
Mccoy to a syndicate of horse breed

FIX DATE OF THE
ARMY-NAVY GAME
To Meet on Franklin Field
November 2S---WhO'II Pay
MiddieS' Expenses?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The an
nual football game between the mid
shipmen at Annapolis and the cadets
at West Point will be held at Philadel-
phia on Saturday, November 2s. An
earnest effort will be made by the An
napolis authorities to persuade the
Secretary of the Navy TO find some
way to pay the expenses Of the mid
shipmen to the game and the West
Point authorities will take up the case
with the War Department.
Last year the government held that
each cadet and each midshipman must
pay his own expenses. 1t is hoped
that some way can be found to relieve
the young men Of this expense. Mid
shipmen and cadets now draw mileage
for travel performed under orders.
Thus when they come to Washing
ton for the Inauguration Day parade
the government , pays all their ex-
penses, both while en- route and while
here. Even II mileage cannot be paid
it is thought a plan can be devised to
pay for the train that carries the
young men TO and from their respect
live academies.

When Catcher shrecl1. released by

Athletics farewell last week another
member Of the 1902 champions passed
from the fold.
How brief is the stay Of a ball play

has disintegrated.
The present is only the sixth season
since Manager Mack brought TO Phil

Rube Waddell made q long stay. He
was there until last season and Just as
his whole career in philadelphia was
sensational. so his farewell had the
proper dramatic quality. for the last
ball he pitched on tha home grounds
