INTERCOLLEGIATE GOLF.
Only One Pennsylvania Player Left
for the Second Round.

RYE, y. Y. September 17-Twenty-
sight contestants started yesterday in the
individual intercollegiate golf champion
ship at the Apawamis Club. The sixteen

nately. With the end of the first round
late yesterday afternoon Harvard and
Yale were left with two representatives
each, while Princeton, Williams Dart
mouth and Pennsylvania had one each.
There was only one close contest in the
first round. In that B. P. Merriman,
Yale, now Connecticut champion for the
second time, went 20 holes to beat Rob-
ert Hunter also of Yale, and Merriman
finally won by five strokes to six on the
second extra hole.

TOAD AND SNAKE.
Wherein the Batrachian Shows Him.
self Wise as Serpent.

From the Charlottesville Observer
The following snake story was told
some years ago by a reputable citizen
of Arson county: Driving along pub
lie road one day. he saw toad frog
crossing the road at top speed, hitting
only the high places and few of them
AS the frog disappeared in the boslsy
underbrush on one side a black snake
in hot pursuit made it's appearance on
the other. The story teller followed the
two into the bushes to see what the
result would be. He had proceeded
only short distance when he found
the frog at bay, facing the snake and
with the latter circling about in the
effort to make an attack from the rear.
His frogship kept turning all the time
always facing his enemy.
The reason of this maneuver on the
snakes part was that the frog had in
its mouth, held crosswise and about the
middle, a stick about the size and
length of a lead pencil. The frog knew
the snake could not swallow him so
long as he presented such front. The
man watched the performance for some
time and when he left the snake Was
still circling the frog and the latter
facing it's enemy on every turn.

Exhibitions Of Twisting Bodies in

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Aquarium has now in one tank
ten more spotted morays more speci-
mems having lately been received from
Bermuda.
These curious brown and yellow mot
tied creatures may sometimes he seen
Stretched out comfortably on the bot
tom of their tank or hanging, one or
two of them, like loose piece of rope
over projecting piece Of rockwork
somewhere up in the tanks lining, OF
you might see three or four or half q
dozen of them coiled loosely in a cor
ner: but with their heads raised. AS the
heads of birds are seen rising above
a nest you might see one or all of
them in motion.
When they move you can what
would appear to be the limit OF all pos
sibilities in the way of undulatory
convoluted motion. Sometimes they
seem to be running races around the
tank, and then as they go you see them
accommodate their bodies TO every knob
and projection; you see back of some
morayS head bend appear in its body
as 1T laps over there some projecting
bunch of rock. and then as the moray
slides along you see that bend continue.
all the time tapping the rock just the
same, but all the time retreating fur
ther and further back in its body until
at the end when the moray has finally
passed the rock the bend seems some
how to have been whipped out of its
tail
One spotted moray may slowly, ST.
lently. smoothly twist and turn its way
through a bunch of its companions and
apparently without in the least disturb
ing any of them, or one may rise i'm
the water and apparently just for exer-
else or to rest itself twist itself into
what looks like combination of cork
screws and reversed spirals mixed in
with all the curved letters of the al
phabet. Unless you had seen it done
you would scarcely believe that one eel
could get into its body so many and so
varied twists and turns, but the spot
ted moray from Bermuda is If anything
more sinuous and twisty than his So
berer colored northern brother.

Concrete Tables of the Middle Ages.
From Cement Age.

In the orange garden of the old Capu-
clan monastery, on a hillside about 800
feet above the Gulf of Amalh. Italy.
there are a number of queer mushroom
shaped tables. These tables. apparently
used by the monks for reading purposes.
are about two and q half feet high and
three feet in diameter at the top and
two feet at the base. They are of con-
crete. and, though, according to local
authorities Of an age varying from 400
to 800 years, are in an excellent state
Of preservation. The excellent condition
of these old tables furnishes additional
proof OF the durability of concrete as
applied to lawn and garden ornaments.
