 Praise for Police.
 Chief William J. Rawlings and Cap tain IT, w. Grace, are entitled to the highest of commendation for the ex- cellent police facilities both along the line of march and at the game. There was not one detail overlooked by the guardians of the law. and their serv- ices are indeed appreciated by those in charge. The chief and captain laid out regulations that forbid any traffic on any of the streets traversed by the out, that not even the sound of an automobile horn entered the restrict ed streets.
 Receipts Not Complete.
 It will be several days before the exact receipts are known by the com mittee. The girls entrusted with the sale of tickets worked like beavers, and their efforts will result in several hundred dollars extra on the ad- vance sale. The prizes offered to the young women selling the most tickets will probably be divided between Miss Grace Riley of Laurel street and Miss Madeline Caufeld, although this has not definitely been decided on as yet Approximately $85O was taken in at the various gates admission.
