I threw off all restraint and approached the Dean. I asked him pointblank if I might talk to the coach of the foot- ball team. He in- formed me_ that the coach was in conference. I was in despair. But I resolved to go down to the foot- ball field. The coach was in con- ference. But I boldly drew him aside. It took a little time. But finally I had him listening.” “Listening?” “Yes — believe it or not. He lis- Dartward HE DROVE THE GRAYS, WHAT KIND IS IT?

I drew a diag ning it. He marvelled. I had discovered a new formula, or rather a new formation— a startling varia- tion on the triple pass. “The coach said, ‘Cargill, you've done __ it. We're bound to win the Bullion game with this.’ And then he ac- companied me back to the Dean’s office. He told the Dean, ‘Give Car- gill here a_ raise.

(An Editorial in “Harper's Weekly,” 1894) . , HE greatest difficulty in the way of keeping the streets of populous cities in a tidy and wholesome condition is the necessary presence therein of a multitude of horses. Other animals, except the pets of mankind and womankind, have been pretty thoroughly eliminated. An ox team in New York is a curiosi cattle are rarcly seen in the str less on the wa poultry appear only in a dressed or un- dressed condition in the markets, testify- ing to the omnivorous appetite of man. But the “four-footed friend” is still indis- pensable, and in times. past his usefulness has increased with the population, Improved methods of locomotion promise to take away one of his uses, Omni- buses and stages are dwindling out of sight, and the cable and electricity are displac- ing horse-power from the street cars. In the yet untested possibilities of the ap- plication of clectric- ity as a motive power, is it not possible that it may be used for the propulsion of trucks and drays and other vehicles employed in the traffic of the streets? The devel- opment of the storage battery gives ground for the belief that this may come in time. If a modification of pave- ments should be found necessary to the suc- cess of this means of transportation, this will be made. It is not inconceiv- able that in time the electric motor may displace the horse in all that is called “teaming” in the city streets. Pleasure- driving can never be displaced by sort of mechanical contrivance... .The motor can no more drive out the car- riage-horse than the bicycle can ex- terminate the saddle-horse.
