Two Out of Three for State.

Today's game was the third con-
secutive meeting on the gridiron be-
tween State and v. NJ. l., and marked
the secor victory for the Mary
lander - game last year having
been ie. IA to IA. States team
played ell together. but the work
of Molster and Stubs in the line was
exceptional. The former, though
weighing only 1876 pounds and against
a man who probably topped him by
thirty pounds, did some remarkable
work on the defensive. Ready and
Bosley did most of the ground gain
ing for Maryland, though Stubs
covered about 40 yards at one time after
receiving forward pass. About
the middle of the fourth quarter
Ready sustained slightly dislocated
shoulder which probably will keep
him out of the game for two weeks
or more. Ingram at right halfback
and Dixon at full back were big
ground gamers for v. NJ. I. Thomas
at right tackle did some excellent
work on the defensive for the cadets.
All the games between State and V.
M. I. have been hard fought, but to-
days probably takes the cake for
fierceness of play. Both teams fought
hard from beginning to end and put
up good exhibition of foot ball con-
sidering the amount of time that they
have had to practice.

splendid judgment by w. Heating.
this crack three-year-o1d jumper was
four lengths away from the nearest

reached, and he was not half extend

latter came Edward NJ. Yields Belle

Donnarella out of the money by only
a length.
1t was q pretty tussle. but decisive
was Debadou's victory. Just a dozen
crack timber topperS were sent after
the rich purse and only two of the
field failed to finish the course de-
spite the remarkably fast pace that
was cut out. Whisk II was pulled up
after he had been hopelessly beaten,
and Elysian, the to 2 favorite, fell
at the fifth fence while running In
contending position.
Debadou was taken to the front at
the drop of the flag and simply toyed
with the others. He fenced faultless-
ly, evenly, boldly, and displayed keen
speed from beginning to ENG.

STILL HAVE BARN RAlsINGs
Good Old Custom Has Not Died Out,
Though the Conditions Have
Greatly Changed.

The Connecticut Valley Advertiser
tells it's readers that ON Saturday of
last week a barn-raising was held at
Hadlyme with about everybody in Had
lyme and East Haddon present That
seems much like the old type of barn
raisings but something new comes in
the statement that three kinds of Ii
guilds were to be had for the ASKING,
one being water and another root beer.
Formerly there were but two, one be-
ing hard cider and the other West In
dia rum.
From early times up to 40 years ago
jewellers in the country did not have
the knack of erecting building with
no more timber in it than could be car
ried on a wheelbarroW hence, to erect
the frame for a barn or house was a
work which taxed the strength of all
the men and boys in the community
and which brought the local carpenter
into a place of proud Importance. 1t
was considered altogether out OF the
question to do the work without stimu-
lants, and these were furnished gem
erouSly, for, though q man might be
'close" about many things, he could
not afford to ration those who came to
the raising if he hoped to spend the
rest of his life in the community.
Having this in mind, he bought rum
literally, while the sour cider was
brought from his own cellar, but,
though it's ability was recognized, it
was hardly regarded seriously because
everyone had an abundance Of it at
home, while drinking rum at the ex-
pense of another was something alto
gether more important. It was hard to
raise a building without it, and, on
some occasions, fairly difficult to raise
one with it. Not infrequently it was
found necessary to continue the work
to a second day because the spirits
from st. Croix had done their work
not wisely but too well. Changing man
ners have modified the work, for the
Advertisers account says that the barn
was raised in a single afternoon. It is
a pleasure to know that the work was
done successfully and that this old
form of communal living survives
