a letter to S. II. Wilson, Jr., secre-
tary of the Delaware State Fair, Mr..
Supplee speaks of his financial loss,
about S25,000, as a mere bagatelle,
when compared TO the suffering of
these huge beasts. Of which he had
grown so fond. His regret is not
for the financial loss. but for the
loss of the mares and their colts, hav-

on the latter. which were bred of
imported stock, but here in the
United States.

however that Mr.. Supplee will not
be discouraged and refuse to come

noteworthy addition to the horse de-
partment, so successfully managed

almost basketball style Of triple pass
ing and open work by little Penn State
threw as big scare into John Harvard
that ever did the war-whooping abor-
igines in the days of Miles Standish.
It was a quadruple pass by the Grim
son that enabled Harvard to tie the
score in the last three minutes of play.
After being badly beaten for three
rounds, Brown returned 20 the fray with
Cornell in the fourth and scored via the
open game. The game played by both
Princeton and Dartmouth was as wide
open as New York ever was in the
palmiest Of Tammany regimes. and as
a result there was frequent scoring on
both sides, with the frequency more
noticeable on the Tigers side OF the
ledger.
The program of Saturday marked the
final turn of King Football against the
