 of his report Dean Briggs reviews the
 achievements 1.-the various athletic
 teams during the past year; urges that
 something be done to interest all stu

 FOR INDOOR RELAY RACE
Made by Boston A. A. Team at carni-
 val of Harvard University.

Boston, Feb. 23.-A new worlds rec- ord for an indoor relay race of 1860 wards four men to 8 team, was made tonight at the annual winter athletic carvnival of Harvard university by the Boston A. A team in a race with the Harvard varsity q1artette. Tho new mark is 3 minutes 1-5 seconds. It betteers by one-fifth of q eecond the time made by Harvard at the B. A. A. games in 1908. Harvard led during the first two relays. but Captain Prout of the E. A. A. team jumped Kelly of Harvard and handed over a lead which Merrihew increased to 35 yards at the finish.
 Harvard's athletes furnished keen competition in nearly a score of events. In the interclHSs r61ay races the sOpho- mores won the colfege championship. while the Law schol entering class de- feated the Medical schOool first year uled to run again the annual race with the Yale freshmen, which was unsat- isfactori+y decided at the recent E.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MARKET WELL SUPPORTED. Bear Efforts Were Unsuccessful t
 Drive Down Prices.

New York, Feb. 23-Througllout to- days session of the stock exchange the market maintained a good undertonc, although tho day was one of disturbing uncertainties. Closing prices recorded few net changes of consequence, save in the case of some of the specialties which were advanced presumably as a result of pool manipulation. Such strength Es was shown = was largely negatiye. in that attempts to depress prices met with little success despite the imminence of the decision by the interstate commerce commission in the freight rate cases and the greater probability of an extra session of congress. The far reaching conse- Quences of the rate decision and the possibility of tariff tegfslat1on in case congress assemblies in extra sesssion bullish operations. but their only ef- feet was te reduce the volume of busi- ness to small proportions
 Bear traders cook advantage of the situation and sold the market at the opening. but their efforts availed thehl concessions checked tho selling. and after a dip in the first hour the mar ket lighted itsek. Prices were main tatned throughout the remainder of the day on am approximate parity with Tuesdays clcSe. Concerted bidding up oA bpecid1l1co ln LnS Ad6b aour lent an appearance of strength and activity to trdang. but there was no response from the usual market leaders. Virgin ia Carolina Chemical gained 1-2,G Gen eral Chemical 1-1 and lesser advances were made by American Agricultural Chemical, American Can preferred American Cotton Oil and United States Cast Iron Pipe. The market closed firm.
 Trading in the Gould securities again made up . large share of t11e transac- tions although there was less evidence of aggressive buying than on the ear- Tier days of tho week. and their prices advanced moro reluctantly. Wabash preferred gained . point, but Missouri Pacific improved only . small fraction. Canadian Pacific was again actdve and strong. Revival of the report that il would absorb the ,Waba1h system at- tracted little attention, however.
 Russia'S acceptance of tho Chinese governments statement in regard to observance Of treaty rights served tc relax the tension Of the last few days and trading in European markets was quiet Reductions of the Austrian bank rate was an echo of last weeks action by the Imperial bank of Ger many.

If Manchester entered the league the game would be a better paying proposition if Rockville could also be induced to enter a team and there is no reason why the old feeling between these towns should have any bearing on league ball.

so they look like the original, and he
seems able to reproduce a counter
felt of anything from raw oyster to
stone idol. There are a good many
tricks in the trade that have been
handed down from father to son, such
as reproducing the bloom of a peach
or scraping an apple to get the veg
etable wax that will make the surface
of plaster apple look like the orig
inal fruit
There are always new problems
coming up in the curious art OF max
ing something out of something else.
One of the features of the big ethnol-
ogic collection that is now being in
stalled In the hall of the new museum
building Is series OF groups. These
include the various families of man.
There are Patagonians, Hawaiians,
Eskimos, all sorts of Indians. family
of lgorrotes and altogether about 20
groups. Each of them is shown en-
gagged in some characteristic tribal
work. The Eskimos are loading a seal
on sledge.
If there is anything the museum
cannot get in the original from a rare
trilobite to Corinthian fresco, 1t can
turn Hendley loose with the original,
and he will make an imitation that
would fool an expert.
