this that the far-fetched claim, that
the presidents second fance had
royal Indian blood, arose and inspired
music hall song writer to compose
the touching little ditty relating the
fate of ''An Indian Maiden who was
Wooed by a Great White Chief" He
wished to dedicate this to the bride
elect, but the presidents secretary
wrote him that it would be distinctly
distasteful We have seen copies
of the song in Aylmer, but do not
think it was a ''hit."

TAKE WARNING

It comes to our knowledge that chill
dren and people are crossing the Con-
solidated pond on the ice. Those who
are acquainted with the facts claim
that the ice is dangerous and that this
practice ought to be stopper before
some pedestrian loses their life in the
pond. The weather is moderating and
the ice is very thin.

COLLEGE CHAMPIONS.
Cornell, Yale and Harvard Share the
 Titles.

s Cornell, Yale and Harvard share the championship titles in intercollegiate sports during the season of l915
 The Ithacans have captured the foot ball honors track and field. wrestling, and have a claim on rowing, sharing with Yale. Many will perhaps differ on the latter title, as the Yale crew defeated Cornell early in 4fhe rowing season. but, however; it is a question whether Yale, could have defeated the Itfacan crew as 1t roWed those four miles on the Hudson in front of the Leland Stanford eight in June. when they were. in the pipkest of condition and form.
 To Harvard go the baseball and ten Tis championships. with participation in the lacrosse and hockey title with Dartmouth. Yale holds the basketball golf and gymhastics schampi pionships outright with apart owr1ership of the swimming and rowing titles Colun1zz bia and Pennsylvania also have share in the swimming title, in which& triple tie was left undecided. Prineeton won the water polo honors.
 One of the real surprises of the year was the rise of the, University of Maine in cross country running. The Maine 'narriers had been doing welt in their sectional gdivision, but few. conceded them chance in the big run at Boston last month. They presented a finely balanced team and wrested the honors from Cornell
 Another small college to score was Haverford. in the soccer tourney. Johns Hopkins won the lacrosse title sin the Southern division. while Harvard won in the Northern league. They did not meet for gthe national title:

 Lewis is the only man who has been able to stop the mighty masked wres- tier. and this he did in less than 15 minutes the first time they met. The Marvel asserted that the fall was the result of a luke that his foot slipped as Lewis grappled with him. and ask ed for return bout. Lewis granted the request and on the night of Wed- nesday, Dec. 22, the two men met in to go to a finish. After one hour and 59 minutes of wrestling, Referee Both ner was compelled to call the match a draw because of the theatre regulation which requires the bouts to end at l o'clock.
 A feature of the tournament which has attracted country wide attention and caused much comment in the so- ciety as well as the sporting columns of the newspapers has been the nightly well known in social circles. Capacity audiences have been the rule and night after night the management has been compelled to turn away those who did not book their tickets in advance.
 In each of these big audiences it has been noted that the women were in numbers almost equal to the men. In the cheering that nightly resounds through the great theatre the fairer sex vie stoutly for their favorites with the deeper shouts of husbands, sweet hearts and brothers.
 A slogan of the tournament has been Don't cheat your wife-bring her along
 The men have taken the hint and the nightly display of Jewels and evening dress at the opera house has equa1led those of the nights when famous prima donnas held the boards before the sym phony of sound gave way to the sym phony of strength which has brought High Olympus to New York

AHEARN ARTIsTIcALLY < TRIMS AL M'coY.
Brooklyn Pusiiist Showed Glass and
 Fought Like a Champ.

Young Ahearn of Brooklyn. who is shortly to mingle with Mike. Gibbons, the St. PauIaawizard, handed Al Mo- Coy the middleweight champion, an artistic trimming as a New Years gift in their ten round encounter at the Broadway Sporting club. New York, Saturday afternoon. sAhearn fought like real champion. tearing into Mo- Coy repeatedly and smashing him around the ring with rights and lefts. Jake outboxed and outslugged his op- ponent.
 There YVES only one thing that Ahearn was afraid of, and that was McCoy's left. Jake watched, this hand like a hawk and only once did the champion manage to- land it squarely on the Dancing Master'sf- jaw. Near the close of the fourth round Mccoy, after a fierce; mix up, let go his left. Ahearn was just about to shoot across a right, but as he drew his arm the blow landed on the jaw.
 The blow almost lifted Denny Mo- Ketrick's one best bet off the floor and into the land of dreams But Ahearn shook his head, steadied him. self an instant. and tken mixed 1t free- ly with Mccoy, hooking rights and lefts to the face and body.
 Aheafn fought a wonderful fight. perhaps the best in his career, and from his performance Saturday Mike Gibbons will have more than a mere novice to beat when they meet in St. Paul Oh the 18th. Jake was only start Ing on the upward path when the St. Paul wizard toppled him over in four rounds at the Garden some time ago.
