FAMOUS ON GRAND CIRCUIT.
Myrcn McHenry One of the Best Trainers and Drivers of Trotting Game

Myron McHenry, the noted trainer and grand circuit driver, who died the ble drivers ever connected with the trotting game. In the thirty years he was associated with trotting over the different circuits there were only two drivers who might have been consid- cred the equals of McHenry, Dan Mace and Thomas w. Murphy. A quarter oe a century ago the turf first began talking of McHenry. Previous to this time he had driven a mum Der Of n edium trotterS in the middle west and wen his share of races. He drove and won his first race of importance at GalVa, Ill.,, and the event was not con- ducted on a regular track, the course being four times around the public square.
 In 1886 McHenry made his first ap- peac&Ece in the grand circuit, and he drove the chestnut mare Mabel A. This mare lad record that year of 2.23 1-4 which was considered a creditable per- formsnce for a green trotter compelled to pull a high wheeled sulky. The JnaStcrly manner in which McHenry handled the nag convinced the old heads of the turf that genius in the driving line had arrived He went to the front in a bound and once there it was impossible to dispute his su periOrity- Two years later McHenry took the trotting stallion Bonnie Mo Gregor and won with him in 2.13 1-2. Another good stallion with which hls name is associates is Lobasco, 2.1e S-4. About 1895 McHenry got hold of the trotter Phoebe Wilkes and for two years she was one of the stars of the turf. While driving Phoebe Wilkes during this time McHenry took llk- ing to a lilly by the name of Rose Croix, and with this horse the captured the Kentucky Futurity, the richest prize of the year.
 About 1900 McHepry became asso- ciated with 1he late Tom Heating, who began coming east with some good horses. James Butler of New York city secured Heating to manage his drive them and the combination was hard to beat. The horses which reg istered the best performances in the Butler stables were Anaconda and Searchlight.

Pomfret 12. Milton Academy 0.

Pomfret school of Pomfret closed it's football season on Saturday by win ming a game over Milton Academy, Mass, by the score of 12 to O. The game was played at Milton. Before the game there was a feeling that Milton would very likely win by six points or so- As events turned out, Milton did not even score, whereas the visitors from Connecticut made one touch down from which a goal was kicked, and Robinson kicked two goals from the field Milton played a good game, and several times appeared to be on the road to ascore. but was not quite equal to the task. In the first half Milton twice tritd goals from place. ment and twice goals by drop kick, but none of the attempts was successful.

Criticism that Yale's eleven is not indicating championship form yet is given in the Yale Daily News by Cap tain Brennan of the New York univer- sity football team. which played the Blue on Saturday. He says:
 Yale has a good team. It follows the ball well, and goes down on punts in good form. The players keep going till they can get their man,, and don't stop then, but go after the backheld. I deprecate their extensive use of hands; 1t looked like holding to me. Your teams greatest weakness is their in- ability to break up the forward pass, although they are always guarding for an end run They are generally sue cessful in blocking kicks, in interfer ence. as they all take part, and in run ming mack punts. I do not think they showed championship form against us, but they are a good team"
 Harvard Needs Kicking Game.
 One lesson that was brought home to the Harvard coaches more than any other by the Princeton game on Sat urday is their need of developing kicking game Most of all Harvard's netd is drop kickers that can boot the ball over the posts with reasonable regularity when inside the 25 yard line. Of course this cannot be done unless a peter d fense is built for the kickers, both in bunting and in b op kicking. Building up the kicking department is one of the most formidable tasks the
 
 Earvard's line met for the first time this year heavier and more aggressive opponents who kept playing to their limit every minute of the contest. It was a test that the line needed and one that undoubtedly will prove of great value to the players in the three weeks before they meet Yale. To beat Yale every man from tackle to tackle will have to fight for all there is in him for every minute of the so minutes. Harvard has a great backheld, but that backf1eld cannot gain ground with an opposing stone wall coming through and with not a breach in it. Harvard has probably the best bacl<feld in the codntry taoday, but it cannot do all the work of the team. Better generalship, a more varied attack in which the ob- vious does not follow every time, will give that backfield some show in the three games to come, provided the line plays the game from start to finish. The defeat by Princeton has taken the cock-sureness out of Harvard and her and has revealed just what is necessary to develop all the possi- bilIties of the team. If the require ments can be filled there will not be much crying over the spilled milk at Princeton.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
FURTHER ADVANCES.
Active Buying Lifts Market After Pe-
 ried of Hesitation.

New York, Nov. 6-Under the lead
 of the standard railroad issues, stocks were advanced again today The movement was preceded by a period of
 hesitation in the carly trading, when a majority of the active stocks sagged below Saturdays close. Active buy ing lifted the market and during the remainder of the session prices were held firmly
 Heavy realizing kept the market in
 check. Stocks were supplied plenti- fully on the advances, but the selling ceased when the market showed signs of weakening. It was assumed that owners of large amounts of stock were taking advantage of the recent rise to reduce their holdings The short in terest was reported to have met with serious reverses. Large stop loss or ders, especially in United States Steel, have been uncovered on the advance, and the attack on the bears was car ried on again with success today. The northwestern railroads were the con spicuous points of strength Trading in these stocks was stimulated by re- ports of increasing business, owing to the movement of crops. Gross earn ings of the Great Northern in October showed an increase of more than S600,000
 Among the eastern roads, Reading, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and Bal tinore & Ohio stood out prominently with gains of a point or more. Balti- more & Ohio crossed par for the first time in several weeks. The special ties which have been prominent re- gently were in the background today, although 8 number of stocks, such as General Electric, National Biscuit and International Harvester, made good gains. United States Steel rose to above 50, it's highest price since the violent break after filing of the gov ernrnent'S dissolution suit. Texas com pany dropped five points to S3 3-4, its lowest figure of the year, and a fall of more than fifty points from the years high record.
 Increased earnings from steel manu- lecturers even at the present low level of prices were foreshaGlowed in the report that railroads touching the steel and iron districts of western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio would reduce freight rates on iron ore, coal and coke. Steel makers estimated that the increase in orders during the last week amounted to nearly ten per cent. on the average. New business of the United States Steel corporation since the latter part of October has been considerably larger London continued to sell stocks here. Transactions for the London account aggregated about SC, ,0e0 shares, of which 20, ,00o were sold on balance with the chief dealings in United States Steel and Reading.
