Mir Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. who has done so much to revive the interest in coaching in England In the last few years has arranged a coaching campaign for the coming season that will sur pass anything he has done In the past. Last year, out of respect to the mem- ory of the late King Edward, he aban- doned his trips to Brighton soon after they had been started over a new and far more picturesque route. Tn the inter- val, however MT. Vanderbilt has lost none of his enthusiasm for the sport or love of the road. This year will see a great increase in coaching In London. Lord Leconf1eld is to run a rival coach to Brighton Each will make three round trips a week, leaving London on alter nate days.
 Many of Vanderbilt's friends are try ing to persuade him to revive the old coach route from London to York mal<- ing one round trip a week. It is not at all unlikely that he will do this as an experiment before the season Is over. He himself would be only too glad to in- augurate the service The only question is whether or not the public would care to patronize such a long trip. Naturally he would not care to drive an empty coach His coach to Brighton is always booked full at a guinea a head, but for all that the amusement costs him some thing more than s15,000 a season. He says, nevertheless, that he has more fun in driving a coach than in anything else he knows. and he works harder at it than any of the scores of men he employs. Driving four horses for six hours day and six days week is no joke but MT. Vanderbilt takes it one. In the horse show he will. as usual be a conspicuous exhibitor and will, of course, enter for the Marathon coaching race, which he won last year, but lost in America.

RELICS FOUND
OF GRIM TRAGEDY
OF LONG AGO

Relics Of the grim tragedy of
the guano cave have been unearth-
ed by workmen who have been en-
gagged in sacking the guano mate
rial for shipment to California
Some weeks ago, as was an
nounced in the Tribune, the new
industry OF gathering and shipping
guano had been started in Love
lock This guano is located in a
big cave in the mountainside about
10 miles below Loyelock. Hundreds
of years ago, it was the living
place of millions of bats and other
winged creatures and the experiment
that was deposited by them lines
the walls and floor of the cave for
a great depth There is estimated
to be several hundred tons of this
guanO in the cave For some time
workmen have been engaged in
sacking the guano and getting it
ready for shipment to California,
While digging out the guano, the
men came across a number of skel-
etons of Indians, also some moeca-
sins, and other Indain apparel of
the early day red men. The mecca
sins are made of tules in the
fashion of the red men of the days
before the advent of the white man.
According to an Indian legend
that has been handed down by the
present tribe of Indians living in
| Lovelock an Indian battle between
two tribes took place in the vicinity
of this cave. One band vanquished
| the other, and the conquered tribe,
| holly pursued, retreated into the
cave, walled up its entrance and,
building big smudge in its mouth
smoked the imprisoned foes to
death
The legend seems to be true.
Judging from the finding of the In
dian relics buried deep in the qua
no material
]. II. Hart, one of those inter-
ested in the project, came to town
yesterday and had with him num-
Der of relics dug from the old
cave. These were made from tules
and willows woven together and
were in a fairly good state of pres
ervation. The men have not YET
: reached the bottom of the guano
and it is expected, as the sackinf
of the material progresses, tina
5 many more relics and skeletons vii
! be uncovered. -Lovelock Tribune.

In his annual Lenten letter to the R. c. diocese of Connecticut Bishop Milan urges. as a substitute for fast ing. abstention from all intoxicating drinks during Lent. The letter has been published in full. but the follow ing extract therefrom will bear repeti- ton:
 No one knows whether drink is his master until he tries to abtain from it. Lent is a good time to make the test. Without the excitement of intoxicants the mind will be better ground for the seed of the word of God. and the will unhampered may. with the help of divine grace. nurse 1t to fruitage.
 It is a most excellent suggestion, fully as excellent for Protestants as for Catholics. Acceptance of it will not only afford the test of strength Of will. suggested by Bishop Milan. but will also effect an economy of earn- ings. much needed in these days of high cost of living. Incidentally. it would also bring to liquor dealers a monetary deprivation which might perhaps be interpreted as compliance. though involuntary. with the demands of the annual season of penance

FOXES FUN AT
 YALE STANDS
President Lowell, of Har- ward, in Brilliant Satire, Rings in Stadium Cues tion.

''The Art of Discouraging Scholar. ship, a humorous satire on American university conditions, the greater part of which was taken up in a facetious discussion of the relative importance of scholarship and athletics, was the subject of an address delivered last night by President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard university, at the annual banquet of the Yale chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa society. Pres ident Lowell, in the course of his speech. read an imaginary letter from of an imaginary college there, in the curriculum of which athletics was the main subject, was described.
 Elaborating in this vein President Lowell told-reading from the im- aginary letter, of course-how cer- tain of the students in this imaginary university took up intellectual pur- He told how the university arranged intellectual contests with other simi- lar institutions and how one built a huge stadium in which to read their essays and wage their debates, while another big university had 'f1imsy wooden stand, which is likely to fall down any time," for the same purpose. President Lowell's reference to the "fimsy wooden stand" was too point ed to be mistaken. and caused a ripple of amusement, although the whole was matter of good natured pleas antry. President Lowell described how the students were required to pass certain marks in their athletics and how prone some of them were to sit and watch the professor go through his gymnastics without mak- ing any effort themselves. His ad- dress was a good natured attack upon present day athletics and the purpose of his satire was very evidently to show the ridiculous lengths to which it has been carried

The navy is about to experiment with guns for use against aeroplanes. It Is necessary to reach them before they can drop bombs upon battleships and Qualifications. Many officers be- lieve that a detachment of sharpshoot- CTS coulds disable a flock of aeroplanes before their operators could get close enough to do damage to battleships or troops. Naturally the first experi- ment in shooting at balloon targets will be with service rifles. If the rifles do not prove effective, machine guns and rapid fire guns will be used. The changing of any caliber of gun. so that it can be fired up the air, will be merely a matter of new mount ing. This, according to ordnance of ficers. will be quite as simple a prob lem on a battleship as on land bat teries Already several of the Europ- can countries have constructed smaller caliber guns with which they are now working out the problem. It is stated that a six-pounder gun can sweep the heavens to the height of about three and a half miles, while the highest
  is but a little over two miles. The Army and Navy Journal says:
 This six-pound balloon gun. as it will fire either high explosive shells or shrapnel. The shells will be so sensitive that if they were to merely touch any part of an aeroplane. or pass through tissue-paper balloon they will explode. A touch from the ~H I,n cient to explode one of these shells and there will be nothing left of either the operator or the aeroplane. An aeroplane lowering over any army equipped with one of the small cali Der balloon guns would be like but that the cannon would be in the hands of a marksman who could snuff out the life of the aeroplane as soon as 1t could be seen.
 But officers of both army and navy doubt whether it will ever be neces- army against attack from aeroplanes. In the first place it is not believed that it will be possible to carry ex- plosives up in the air and drop them down upon a battleship. fortification or afmy with any effect. It is in- used other than for scouting purposes. But even if there should be an at- tempt to make them offensive in- struments> of war 1t is thought that sharpshooters or even ordinary marks men armed with modern Springfield rifles will prove a perfect defense against aeroplanes. In the opinion of ordnance officers of the army and the navy. service rifles will do fearful execution in shooting at aeroplanes at an altitude of mile. There is range at ordinary rifle practice of 1 1000 yards. soldiers are expected to pick off single man at 1000 yards in an ordinary engagement and there are plenty of instances of service rifles having done deadly execution at 1000 yards. E
 These problems. with a number of others relative to the attack upon and defense against aeroplanes. will be worked out at the Sandy Hook Prov ing Grounds this summer. Like the navy the army officers will shoot at balloon targets. Not only with which will be mounted on the new style of carriage, but with ordinary service rifles will the army work out system of balloon aviator target practice.

The cold storage interests which have evidently withheld their supplies of eggs from the market for the last three or four months. are now con- fronted by the usual spring activity of the country's hens. and are rushing their stocks into the market to fore stall. if possible. the usual heavy SUD- ply of fresh eggs. Their movement is somewhat akin to a bargain sale'. They have not merely to face an aug mented supply of fresh eggs. but also the danger of an accumulation of .'rots'' and "spots" if they carry stocks over to. next winter. Hence. their hurry to market their stored supplies. Tt is. in one respect. a favorable sea- son for this move-Lent is at hand, with its usual demand for eggs in large quantities.

LAW OF 17O3 INVOKED
Tarrytown Hopes to Widen Broadway Under Its
 Provisions

Tarrytown. N. r.. Feb. 2S-A copy of law passed in 1703. when New York was a colony. has been found at Albany. and as it states that the AL bany Post Road was laid out four rods wide many New Workers who. own beauciful estates in Westchester along this fine old highway may be put to considerable trouble. Tarrytown has already taken official notice of the law, the village counsel being instruct ed to investigate the case and report back to the board.
 A fight is on between river villages and residents on the repeal of the Burns bill. which prohibits a trolley line in Broadway. The villages say that according to this law the residents have encroached on Broadway, as in some places it is only 30 feet wide. The property owners reply that the street is too narrow for a trolley. The villages contend that if the old law is good Broadway will be widened. The property owners. to offset the op- position are trying to have Broad way made State road. This would keep the trolley line off of it for ever,

The case parallels in principle that of the new East Washington avenue bridge in this city. In both cases. the present structure would probably suffice for all needs, but for their use by the trolley company. Indeed. there is some reason to believe that but for

FOR BOUNTY ON GROWS.

Crows, foxes and owls formed the topics of discussion before the agri- culture committee yesterday. One bill considered calls for a bounty of 10 cents each on crows. The towns in which the crows are killed must pay this sum. At the end of each year the sum total paid by the towns shall be returned from the stare comptroller with 15 cents extra for each killing. The extra 15 cents goes to the town treasurer for his trouble. Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill advocated the passage of the bill claiming that crows are birds of prey. Rocky Hill folks are anxious to have such a law. MT. Chandler said he realized that the small bounty would not enrich any one nor rob the state. Edward Belden. hunter and fisher- man, testified that crows were rapid- ly increasing and becoming a menace in many ways. He thought the boun- ty though small would prove a good thing. The committee in view of the interest in the present status of the law on foxes and owls decided to have a special hearing later on these mat terS.
