such items as early in the week as
possible.
All communications should reach
the office not later than Tuesday af-
ternoon to insure publication the

back until Wednesday morning are
likely to be crowded out by reason
If the fact that frequently at the

something comes in that must be

A Delightful Party.
Reported to The Commonwealth

Reported to The Commonwealth
The most delightful party of the
season was given by the young men
of the town at the beautiful home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Futrell, Friday
night.
The guests began to gather about
half past eight o'clock, and in short
time the room was filled with jolly
couples. They played several inter-
esting games, and instrumental mus
ic by Miss Cornelia Josey added
much to the pie asure of all present,
and to say that Miss Louise Josey
was hostess is to say that every one
present enjoyed a delightful even
ing.
At ten o'clock delicious refresh
ments were served, and at eleven
o'clock the happy couples departed
with many expressions of the good
time they had spent.
Those who attended the party

This, of course, does not include the
college men. Dawbarn of Princeton.
Foster of Harvard and Rector of Vir-
ginia are probably the fastest sprint
ers in the country today Rector, be-
cause of a reputation he has never
lived Up to, is looked upon as the best
of the three, though he has never met
either Dawbarn or Foster. Rector has
not been seen in competition in so long
time that in a match race Foster
would probably be made a favorite
over him. Foster has already proved
that he has DaWbarn's number.
There is no reason why there should
be such a dearth of sprinters. 1t is
simply one of those off periods that
crop up now and then. A couple Of
tionally rich in them, and even now,
when the crop is not quite up to the
standard, could take on the best OF
the product of any other country and
ask no odds.
Nelson, the young Bostonian who
created such a favorable impression
when he ran here last winter, promises
to develop into a man of champion
ship caliber In a couple of years
Foster the Intercollegiate champion,
and Dawbarn will have finished their
courses, and, unless they change
their minds in the meantime, will then
be ready to enter open competition.
Foster. really a newcomer at the
game, already gives promise of becom-
ing one of the greatest sprinters of re-
cent years He has everything in his
favor, and, by taking care of himself,
might easily hold the same position In
college athletics as did Nat Cartmell
while the latter was sporting the blue
and red of the University of Penn
sylvania But all along the line the
coaches and trainers are shaking their
heads and complaining that there are
no Schicks those days and raking over
their talent for the consistent 10-Sec-
ond man, who, they claim, will sweep
everything before him when he does
appear

There is woe on the Great White
Way. The expiration of the tariff
agreement with France today. it is
rumOred will result in a considerable
increase in the cost of champagne and
other necessaries of life. This despite
the fact that it is known that enough
French champagne has been imported
to supply the American demand for
a year or two. The increased tariff will
afford an excuse for an immediate
boost in price, and it is highly likely
that the aforesaid boost will soon be
evident on the Wine lists of the lead
ing places of liquid resort.
With the termination of the agree
ment with France, tn crates of the
new law, which are much higher
$3.50 a dozen on champagne, for in
stance-will go into effect. The Ding
ley rate is IS a dozen. and the conces-
sion under the commercial agreements
of 25 per cent. brings it down to So
of a saving Of $3.50 a dozen, or 80 cents
a bottle, from the new rates.
TT will be interesting" said treas
urv official, ito observe whether the
price of champagne, still wines and
foreign spirits and liquors make
iump with the tariff as an excuse. we
know that vast amounts of these ne
cessaries of life have been imported
before the commercial agreements ter
minated. Will the wine merchants now
advance the price to the ultimate con-
SINNER on the score that the tariff has
increased the cost of importationg

Yale looks the best of all the east
ern colleges in football this fall; Dart
mouth next.
The gridiron season is now four
weeks old, and thus the situation
looks at present. The big eastern col
leges seem weaker than usual this
year, as compared with those outside
the big six And the Princeton Tigers
look weakest of ALL
Harvard's inability to win from Will
liams by decisive score. while Yale
has shown unusual strength is the
reason the Blue is being tipped
strong at this stage of the season.
AS a matter of fact, all the leading
football teams are playing 'possum
Just now, and it will be difficult to get
true line on their power unless
some of the teams that are being
used as pacemakers show unusual
flashes Of brlliancy and force the en-
gineers to open the throttles bit
wider.
The Yale strategists are past mas
ters in football diplomacy, and every
thing that comes from New Haven in
the way of pessimism should not be
taken seriously Yale has a great
team this year. 1t is a. veteran team,
and it is bound to be strong because

YALE LOOKS TO HAVE
THE STRONGEST TEAM

Howe and Johnson for the quarter
back position and either man is capa-
BILE of doing creditable work in a big
game. At the present time Howe seems
to get better speed out of the team,
but Johnson's individual brilliancy
makes him a strong contender for the
place. Cooney and Hyde are fighting it
out at center, but the other positions
appear to be settled, with veterans
working hard because of wholesale re-
spect for the likely-looklng string of
substitutes.
Capt Coy will be saved this year
fer the Princeton and Harvard games
Reports of the operation he under
went have been exaggerated, and he
is fit to play today. But the coaches
have decided to hold this sterling play
er in check until his strength can
count most for Yale. He is man
who cannot help playing hard in every
game, and in the opinion OF the coach
es, he went too fast in preliminary
games last year to shine against Har-
ward. 1t will be remembered that he
defeated Princeton by his
wonderful work in the second half OF
last seasons game Previous to that
contest he had played a giants part in
games of less Importance, and his
Princeton effort was almost too much
for a body that was already over
