The feature of the week In sporting cir
cles has 'jtfn ' the distinct success scored by
the Twin tltv dun club In the Interstate'
taurnani'i ) In attcndanicc , management
and Kenel.il catlsfactlon , there has been noth.
Ing similar In this part of the 'west for a
long tlmo To the old-timers It was a reve
lation , At least 100 visitors from Ncbrank
nnd Iowa towns wcro present. Forty local
wports wcro entered. All the visitors entered
and most of them entered every event of
Importai n during the thrco days' se'-slon.
This is ( | iilte new , at least It has not been
the custom for a long time In this vicinity.
Heretofore It an event had from live to
light men it was considered to ho n suc-
cc" A number of events scoied as high
as thlrtj entries during the thoot. This was
inrtlally due to the fact that the manage
ment haired nil traveling and professional
men Ilita gave the real amateurs , \ ehanec
and they availed themselves of It. 1 his fact
had been , quite generally advertised nnd to
this was duo the large crowd Manr of the
visitors nuvci before attended a trip shoot
at the local grounds. The first day of the
tournament many women were prcsci.t , duo
to the gnat Interest and the splendid
weather. The two following days none of
the women vontuicd out because of the wet
weather This attendance of the women Is one
of tl'o features which the new management
especially deslrca While n small admission ,
ice Is charged all men who attend , no charge
Is made for any women who may desire to see
the work of their friends , Iho charge that Is
being made has had tno 'result ' anticipated
the keeping awav of many small boju and
rowdies who were present with theli guns
to shoot this fall nnd the fne-t was notleed
and comnfe'iited upon very favorably.
Ono of the familiar tlgures of shooting
tournaments of this section for the lust
quarter of a centnrj \ "Uncle" Moso Chand
ler of Rod Oik , la. Ho has not missed a
shoot of Importance In either of the two
states dmlng that tlmo. Ho was qulto u
factor In tht meeting tart wccK Though
"Inelc1 .Moso Is 75 years old , Ms eye Is as
Keen an' tils ue-vo ae steady as of old when
ho was trained to phuot big game on th-
prairiecf Iowa and Nebraska The old
gentlem m was entered In some veiy swift
compiitij during this shoot , but on several
occasions lie Indlt/itcd that his white heaid
ami' long giay liilr were out of place hi
defeating sinn of the cracks Mi. Chandler
Is ono of those whole-souled Jolly spirits
who loves the sport for the wild and rugged
si onery that it brings him In contact wlih
as much as for the pleasure of demonstrat
ing hla skill with the gun He has been a
prumlinent fnetor in e-nforelng the game laws
of Iowa and Ins appeared several times before -
fore the loslslituio to piotost against some
of the foolish liws that the untulued game
butcher haij succeeded In placing on the
statute hi/oks ot the- state Ho stands today
pro eminent ! ) the lluest quail shot In the
state of Iowa and piobjb.y in Nebraska
notwithstanding his ago Another feature of
the shoot that attracted almost as much
attention OH the ispld work of "Umcle1
Jloso .was tlio absence from the tournament
of "Ted" Ackerman ot Stanton , Neb "Ted"
has not m'o ed such a picnic for many jeais
In Nobiasha , and will shed teals of regret
when ho dlscoveis what fun the bojs had
without him this time Ackerman Is another
edition of Chandler with the exception of
the fact that he It , not moio than half as old
What Chandler his done for hli section of
the slat * of Iowa In maintaining the game

The writer has onjojed several delightful
linntii wlt'i ' both gentle-men , and never saw
either of them violate tlio unwritten law

Within tl o last fovv ) eara a large number
of Mongolian pheasants have been Imported
to this state thertfoio the following com
munication , pnblUhcd In Recreaton , from an
Oregon correspondent will bo of Interest.
"This iblid , Introduced Into Oregon about
twenty years ago from China , by Judge O.
N Denny , has multiplied until , In the
pralrlo sections of western Oregon , It out
numbers any other game bird The reason
of the great lncrea o probably lies In the
fact that It hatches two broods of sixteen
to twenty each season. When the chicks are
about thrco weeks old the hen turns the
family over to the care of the cock , she layIng -
Ing again The oock Is not a .Mormon In
any tcnsts of the word He selects one hen ,
and 'forsaking all others , cleaves unto her'
Hence , to breed these birds successfully It
Is essential that a cock bo provided for each
hen"The
"The Mongolian phmsant Is a prairie bird
and Is seldom found In or about the timber.
He 1I1.PJ the tall grass ferns , wheat stubbles
ami lew buihcs , such as the wild rose and
the buek'brush ' After the > oung birds reach i
full growth , they do not congregate In large i
Hocks as do prairie chickens , but are found
alone , in pairs , or In mall flocks of flvo or
six. They feed on grain. Insects and green
vegetables , such as red clover , cabbage , etc.
These birds are great favorites with sports-
wen. The magnificent plumage of the cock
luioit i halt ( hat of the peafowl In beauty.
Hit prevailing colors are sola and bronze ,
with touches of 'black. ' Ho also hns a clear
white ring about Iho neck. The ( head and
upper half of the neck has a bluish greener
or changeable shade- , similar to that of the
mallard duck. ,
"Tho pheasant glvci out a stronger scent
than the blue grouse or pralrlo chicken , and
lies better to the dog During the open
season , September 1 to December 1 , an hour's
drive In any direction from Hugcnc , Ore. ,
will bring one Into the shooting grounds
The law limits a shooter to twenty birds each
day , ibut thin number U often killed In a
few hours
"With suitable enclosures and a reasonable
amount of patience1 , these blnls can be suc
cessfully propagated anywhere , If the climate
be not too severe. They can not bo tamed
or domesticated. After months of captivity
they are as wild as when llrst taken They
are 'giuno' first , last and all the time.
"Thu flesh of the Mongolian pheasant Is
almoit as white ns that of the domestic
' ohlcken , and has o prcnounccd 'gamey' flavor ,
much appicaclated by all lovers of wild
meat. "

toiback , are remembered as good men on
Tarulo's strong team last year. The com
plete line-up of Weslean will bo as follows
Left end , KHehlo , left tackle , Dunn ; left
guard , Brew , center , Stull , right guard
Kingsbury ; right tackle , Gllbeit ( captain ) ;
right end , Lemon ; quartciback , Kcoog ) ; left
halfback , Bailey ; right halfback , Carver ; full
back , nrvvln.
The common Impression appears to be that
Missouri Is going to run away from Wesleau
by a dozen points or more. No more
erroneous Imprcbsion of the probable result
Of a foot ball team ever obtained. To bo
sure no one can safely predict the outcome
of the game , but at this writing It certainlj
appears thit all the odds are in favoi of the
team repivsent'og Nebraska In this great
Interstate contest. The Wesleyan team is
made up of a heavy lot of plaers and they
knew several things about the game
Missouri has taken a slump In foot ball In
the last two years and from the effects of
this they are just reeoverlng Coached by
Big Wharton , the king of Pennsylvania
gutrds for so many ) oars , and Charley Young
formerly fullback add captain of the Mis
souri team , the Ml mrl tigers aie again
getting Into good sl.apo Just how much
they have Improved within the last two
weeks under the guidance cl two such
notable plaers Is not known , but unless they
have made long btrldos forwaid tomorrow's
game will go to We'sle ) an , and once again
the Missouri tigers will leave Omaha with
victory renting safely In the arms of the
Nebraska ( > ! aers
If the weather conditions are favorable
there Is uo doubt but that a largo crowd
will be present. The high character of the
contest merits the greatest assemblage that
ove-r saw a foot ball game In the state unj
both teams should receive a hearty welcome ,
the homo team ns a matter of loalty , the
Missouri players as a mark of courtesy ,

The foot ball games so far played among
the big eiietcrn teams Inve pretty nearly
demonstrated ono thing , and that Is that tbo
elevens representing Princeton and Pennsyl
vania are ncaily evenly matched and are
undoubtedly the strongest elevens In the
United States today That the ) will not
meet this year Is generally regretted.
Grlffln the' well prated foot ball writer of
the Philadelphia North American , has como
out with the pcwltlvo assertion that Prince
ton and Pennsylvania will meet next season ,
and If this bo true It Is Indeed agreeable
news ,
One of the best rpvlows of tlio eastern
foot ball situation is from his pen this week.
It is so meritorious that It Is herewith re
produced lu full
"It Is gratlfIng to note that Yale It fallIng -
Ing In with the procession Better late
thuu never The Vale News otllclil under
graduate organ Is out with a strong protest
against any future games except on college
grounds It appears , that the New York
crowd which witnessed tlit Yalo-Indl
< - ri con
test was Intensel ) and offensive ! ) partisan
for the rcdi-iklrs Thy metropolitan news
papers next da ) also took ocoislon to get In
a few whacks Yale resents this treatment ,
and has come to the conclusion that It isn't
nice to bo criticised It would1 bo well for
Yale to admit another conviction , of which
In her aching , wounded heart Yale must bo
painfully conscious
"Six ) oars ago Yale was the most popular
college in the country. Her athletic eucceiH
lud 'been ' phenomenal , but few begrudged It ,
Yale was admired aud applauded everwhere
for manliness , sportsmanship and generosity
\yhat has always beia called "Yale spirit"
was nothing more thap "Yale pride" Yale
alumni aud Yale undergraduates merely
echoed the general public sentiment of favor ,
compliment and respect ; they were inspired
by "pride In old Yale" on the campus and
In the cla j room. When they went abroad
they found that popular opinion everywhere
applauded Yale , and commended Yale , and
wan proud of Yale. At that time , and. for a
few years previous , such a situation really
existed , Mark the contrast todayl Yale
lost her prestige when , vex popull lost re
spect for Yale ; and respect for Yale has
been growing continually less ainco 18)2 ! )
Thlfl Is proved by Just such demonstrations
as that In New York last Saturday. The
public wants to see Yale whipped and hu
miliated because the public does mot approve
of Yalo's recent policy of stubborn exclu-
slveiiesJ
"In the revolutions of college progress Penn-
slvanlft has grown out of the nitre of ath
letic Insignificance Into a towering giant of
Uthletlc strength ; but Yale has consistently
refused to meet Pennsylvania. In dual com
petition. Cornell has earned recognized su
premacy In aquatic affalis ; but Yale has con
sistently refused to meet Cornell In dual
competition Yale does not play Lafactto
at foot ball , nor would she even do so last
your after the Ilistonlans' victory over Poun-
slvanla. If Brown had won that Yale match
recently. Instead of scoring only fourteen
points. It Is doubtful what Yale "polloj"
would have dictated. All this Is unfortunate
and wrong , Yule Is a great institution and
oven In so small a thing as 'athletics ' she
cannot afford to lose In popular esteem
Yalos worst encni ) is the Yale athletic dl
rectorate. Yile Is 111-adv'sed , badly man
aged aud unwisely controlled The public Is
nude to regard Yale In an unfair light. H Is
well enough to claim that Yale umlergrad-
uites and alumni nppiove of the Yale policy
of "freeze out , " but I don't believe It. The
athletic administration approves of It noth
ing more It has been repeatedly claimed
tUat Princeton undergraduates and alumni
endorsed the Princeton attitude of antago
nism toward Pennslvanla I have taken some
pains to provo these elilma to be false 1
have proved them s > o , and next year Pennsyl
vania and Princeton will bo reunited Penn
sylvania will be glad til hUvo It so Pennsyl
vania would bo glad to have It so with Vale
Nobody has ever denied , that ; nobod ) wants
to deny It. Umler an equitable adjustment
of plalng icstrlcttons Pennsylvania never
has and never will refuse to meet an ) worthy
opponent in boifi fide intercollegiate athletic
competition. "

The TDlative merits of the big four eastern
foot ball teams are si/.eil up as follows b )
Casper Whitney In this week's Harper's ;
"Princeton still leads In the kicking depart
ment , with Pcnnslvan'a ' the only team
within reaching distance of It. Princeton
Is also the ablest on defense , but by no
means at far ahead of the others In this
icgard as It Is In kicking Today Princeton
would beat Pcnnslvanla through the greater
experience of Its line and btiperior direction
In kicking Its supeiiorlty to the Phllo-
de'plnans might be rated at about ten po'nts
It would beat Harvard chiefly through Its
better kicking The Harvard kickers would
be outclassed. especially In accuiac )
ruithermore Han aid's runners behind the
line would not stand the game as well , and
Princeton might be able to score three times
Yale would go under also to the men from
New Jcisey , ami , while not the Waterloo of
last year , would find It a bad defeat of eigh
teen or more. Harvard flnd Pcnnslvania ,
meeting today , would be fairly matched , with
the chances In favor of the Quakers from
two points of superiority their men would
last longer , and their play Is more con
centrated. Pennsylvania would defeat Yale
also at this period , for similar reasons , but
more especially because Its play Is more ad
vanced In style. Haivard and Yale just now
would make A most Interesting match Har
vard Is a bit further along In development
of plas , but , except lu the case of two In
dividuals has not exhibited the dash and
spirit deployed by the new blood at New
Haven Harvard's line Is bettor on defensive
work and it u&es more men in Its offensive
play , so tint today it would win on form.
Yale has more EtiEti and would play an up
hill game better "

cerning this Intel esting historical Incident
Mr. Weed writes. "The flist wedding tour

Rev. H. H. Spaulding , and their brides.
They made the journey of 3,500 mile" ) , oc
cupying seven months , In a wagon , the
first to-cross the continent. Dr. Whitman ,
having visited the region befoie , was guide
to the new home In Oregon. He was the
first to make known Its value to the United
States. "South pass Is reached , " writes Mr.
Weed of the famous Journey , "tho highest

pass the traveler reads the Inscription , 'Fre

finder , ' but alsj to the two heroines who
had gone through six ) ears before his claimed
discovery. Le-t another inscription read
'Mis Whitman and Mrs Spaulding , 1830 '
"It is the Fourth of July. The party
