' MINSTREL
 SCORES HIT
Amateur Black Face At tempt Goes Big at First Performance and Will Be Given Better at Second Show Tonight.

The scorer placed one clean base hit to the credit of the Y. M. c. A. for the minstrel show last night.
 A little ambitious for amateurs, minstrel shows sometimes prove the rock on which home talent theatri- calls break up and sink. But this particular blackface attempt had d better start than the most. Nearly all the players had had experience in the Postal Clerks Minstrel, which was the big amateur bill a few months back.
 The high lights of the first even ing were the song of Harry Carr, ''The Railroad Burlesque," of How ard Cooper, L. S. Parks Spare Ribs solo, and George E. Kellogg.
 The committee desires to announce with emphasis that the second show will be tonight at the same place, and that the tickets winch were not used last night will admit to the second show

different from that with which Ameri- can photographs have made us fami- liar, and so far from being the long, lank youth most of us have pictured him, he is powerfully built player with an immense reach, which be- comes very noticeable when he stretches his arms out in the follow through of his drive.
 His style is too good to possess much that is remarkable, and the one noticeable exception is his grip, which is quite peculiar to himself. At least l have seen no player who holds his clubs in this way, and Mir Oui- met knows of none in the States The club is really held by the first three fingers of the right hand and the last three fingers of the left. In stead of the little finger of the right hand overlapping the first finger of the left, as in the so- -called Vardon grip. it actually interlocks with it, so that neither of these fingers is in complete contact with the shaft. It is not style of grip which would suit everybody, but Ouimet's muscular and rather long hands seem to make il wonderfully effective in his case.
 His stance is rather a square one, but neither in that nor in his swing is there anything unorthodoX. On the putting green he usually favors the heels together" stance. which most of our American visitors have adopt ed, but his style is very easy and un- constrained. In short, he tppeared to possess that most valuable asset for a holes tournament-a style which gives a minimum of opportunity for going off"
 FIRST CREW CONTEST

The course which is approximately 1 34 miles in length is such that all three crews will have an equal chance and for that reason the race will be an excellent test of the progress made by the oarsmen of the three institutions during the past winter and spring.
 The Pennsylvania crew will have the advantage which comes from hay ing roWed and won race this season. On April II the Quakers journeyed to Annapolis and defeated the Middles in q 1 5-16 miles race by two lengths. The time of the winning crew was { minutes A seconds, which. considering the strong tide and wind, was excel lent for so early in the season. This same navy crew defeated Harvard week later by half a length.
 Both Columbia and Princeton will face Pennsylvania with crews well advanced in training but lacking the confidence and finish which comes with the passing of the first race oi the year Princetons combination has been rowing together for sometime and is said to be one of the best that has been developed at Princeton since the revival of rowing several years ago.

 Human sympathies and a wakeful sense of the realities Of life are very apparent in the two reel production of Mario" which is shown at the Lion Theater today. It is a beautiful pie ture with the scenes laid in Italy and is a tragic love story and the author certainly had a wide conception and knowledge of life. The tenth number of Our Mutual Girl'' which is shown today shows how to dance the Maxixe and also Margaret mee ting the big league players on their return from trip abroad.
 The comedy today is a Keystone It's an awfully funny Keystone. It is called NTWixt Love and Fire. Tonight is candy night at the Lion and to- morrow there will be a full change of program in which the feature will be q two reel production entitled Desert Gold"

Color Of Army Horses.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The color line is being drawn by the
army in the purchase of horses. It
has not been drawn in favor of white
or light colored horses, but against
them. and in favor of sorrels, browns.
bays, and even blacks. Because of their
visibility, white and gray horses are
not considered desirable for mounts.
In the field they are a mark for sharp
shooters, and on this account the quar-
termaster corps has stopped purchas
ing light-colored horses. Officers are
permitted to purchase gray horses if
they care to take the chances of being
shot in the event that they are on the
firing line. but the inspector generals
department has condemned the gen.
eral use of gray horses in the army.
This, however does not prevent many
of the officers of the army from riding
gray horses, and they have refused to
draw the color line. Some of the men,
bers of the general staff are advocating
the issuance of q general order pro-
hibiting the use of gray or light col
ored horses in the army, as they claim
that with even few officers on hight
colored mounts the enemy will be able
to locate a regiment or a company
which might be on scout duty. The
question whether gray horse is Off
cially regarded as suitable mount for
an officer has been the subject or lively
controversy at at least one army post.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 16.-The re-
opening of the cotton exchange after
three and a half months of liquida-

den closing of last July, attracted a
Old and new style contracts were dealt
generally speaking trading progressed
very smoothly. and prices held fairly
steady after some early irregularity.
Old-style December contracts opened
below 71s, which meant that the con-
tracts taken over by the corporation
would go into the hands Of the syndi-
cate, and later sold off to 1876. but
new-style contracts ruled generally
steady with March selling around 7.85
and May sos.
There was considerable trading in
old-style December and January con-
tracts, but business was comparatively
quiet in the later new-style deliveries
with evidences of some investment
ouylng, while there seemed to be very
little selling pressure.
Trading was quiet during the middle
of the day and prices eased off several
points under the early high level under
scattered selling. part of which seemed
to be the liquidation of early buyers
Liverpool was a moderate buyer of De-
cember contracts at the decline to

Christmas Giving.
rom the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.

From the PittsburGh aZette-Times.
The practice of Christmas giving,
however much IL may be abused at
times, springs from the most admiral BILE
motives that influence human conduct.
Granted that to few it is a perfume
tory obligation. discharged with re-
luctance, to the vast majority it is a
delightful duty, bringing with it full
realization of the truth that it is more
blessed to give than receive. But from
the purely practical standpoint of the
greatest good to the greatest number
the abandonment of Christmas giving
cannot be justified in view Of the wide-
spread hardship it would entail here at
home. The custom provides profitable
employment for multitude of per-
sons not only during the special ses-
sion of cheer. but throughout the year.
The exchange of gifts gives whole
some stimulus to business in general.
1t has come to play an important part
in our commercial system and one
which is reckoned on long in advance
by enterprising business men. True
charity begins at home. 1t need not
stay there permanently, for that would
be unadulterated self1shness. But the
scriptural injunction to look first aft
er the needs of our household cannot
be disregarded. For many reasons. not
all purely material. either. to cease
exchanging presents on the great holi-
day Of the year would be a calamity.

ing a serious effect on the operations
of the armies. The work in the

A Times correspondent in northern
France, writing under date of Sunday,
reports that a fall of snow followed
by heavy rain is turning the roads in

The bad weather is converting the
roads of Flanders into greasy cobble
ridges. very dangerous for motor traf-
fic. and although the winter will not
stop the fighting it will make condi-

Aid for the Belgians.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The impulse to help the BeIgians is
spontaneous and compelling. In the
midst of all the horror of the cata-
clysm. the plight of this unoffending
people stands supreme in its pathos
Driven from their homes, their crops
destroyed. their occupations taken
away their dwellings burned by a
ruthless destroyer or battered down by
cannon, the Belgians are in a state of
misery and want perhaps never before
experienced by civilized people in
these Christian times. Themselves
starving and roof1ess on the approach
of winter. they are mourning their
dead and the thousands who are dying
of privation, and to this desperate pass
they have been brought through no
fault of theirs. They have fought, to
and for their national life, but they
are innocent victims of a great ma
tional disaster.
