PERSONAL. TOUCHES
in SPORT

Ysle's big football bowl is an example OF
what can be done II the proposition is properly
pushed. There is far more need OF stadium IN
Philadelphia than there is at little New Haven,
yet in that small college town this monument
to athletics has been erected. having seating
capacity OF $1,000 persons. As there were
more than 1900 applications for seats to the
Yale-Harvard game capacity crowd VIII be
present, or at least tickets will be sold for
every seat, which in turn means that the pro-
ceeds OF that one game alone Will be at least
500, COO. The major portion OF that goes TO
Yale; hence It is easy to see that the bowl
will pay for itself in an exceedingly short
time. This same thing could be accomplished
in our own city II some were willing 10
back the proposition, but there seems TO be a
lack Of punch among those who could do It.
1t would take no longer to pay for a stadium
here than It would in New Haven. for the

EMISSION SERVICE
ENDS TONIGHT
Instructive and Helpful Services Close
This Evening at st.
Peters.

The mems mission at st. Peters
church draws to a close this evening
lat 1880 O'Clock. On that occasion
Father Schott will deliver his final ad-
dress to .he men preceding the re-
inewal Of their baptismal vows and the
ceremony will close with benediction
OF the blessed sacrament followed by
the papal blessing.
On Friday evening he took for his
text the words of our Lord addressed
to st. Peter, advising that he found
church. Thou art Peter and upon
this rock I will build my church,
| In a clear logical and convincing
discourse, the establishment OF the
church was proved and its perpetual
ton to the end of time, clothed with
all the power and authority OF its
divine founder, was shown.
Having laid this as foundation,
the gifted speaker then took up and
analysed the various commandments
Of the church and laid full stress up
on the absolute necessity that these
planning that violation OF any Of them
would be visited with punishment
the same as would violation Of any of
the ten commandments of God.
The missionary explained that the
first three commandments of God re-
ferred to Moses's duty toward his God,
the other seven to mans duty toward
his fellowman violations of the first
three were for some unaccountable
reason rather lightly regarded by
mos. men but this was a serious mis-
take as the same punishment would
be melted out to transgressors without
distinction of the commandment vio-
lated. II that we're possible, violation
of the first three were even more
grievous than of the other seven, as
they violated mans duty toward God.
The speaker pleaded for better
observance Of Sunday and holidays,
of obligation, more reverence for
Gods holy name and deeper apprecia-
ton of mans duty toward God.
Last evening the ceremonies were
particularly in honor of the blessed
Virgin, the mother of God. A. them
the men and boys of the parish were
especially placed under her patronage
and the sermon was eulogistic of her
high standing in the court of heaven.
The attendance at the mission has
been very gratifying and the effect
will long be felt in renewed spiritual
fervor in 81. Peters parish and in
fact throughout the city, as the aud
fence was drawn from all quarters.
