In advocat- ing the choice of Mr. Causey to the Senatorship, the Milford, Del., ‘Her- ald’? says: “He has been active in his party in storm and sunshine. We believe him eminently sincere and conservative in his politics. On the question so thoroughly canvassed dur- ing the late campaign, though he sup- ported the Chicago candidate, and piatform, he is a moderate bimetal- list and believes it right, that there should be silver currency adopted by the international agreement, but also believes that if adopted by the United States the other leading nations of the world will very soon accede to it. His speech at the late Democratic Con- vention in seconding the nomination of the present Governor-elect did him great credit. He is a member of the Board of ,rustees of Delaware Col- lege and of Wilmington Cenference Academy, in both of which he takes a great interest.” 67 S.—J. T.

[The Pennsylvanian.] The long-expected covered track for winter track work on Franklin Field is now being used every day by the sprinters, hurdles and broad jumpers, under Trainer Murphy’s directions. To accommodate the jumpers and pole-vaulters a jumping platform has been built and the platform covered ever with saw-dust, which will pre- vent jarring and gore feet. The od jumpers are now practicing, and sev- eral new men have begun work in this event as well as in the pole-vault. _ Particular attention is being paid to developing some men in the hurdles, as this has always been Pennsylvania’s weakest event. Captain Winsor, Les- lie, over the hurdles every day. Judd, who on account of illness was unable to compete last year, will be out this week and will greatly strengthen the sprinters, who are Hoffman, Hillary and Blackburn. The distance events this year are better represented ‘than ever before. Orton, Grant, Jarvis (who, however, is not eligible for the intercollegiate), Mechling, Shengle and Steele, should make a distance team second to none, and will certainly prove a big factor in the Mott Haven games. Sichel, Shengle, Lane, Quicksall and Price should all do well in the middle distances. Of these, the first three will undoubtedly make very fast time this year, Sichel in the quarter and Lane in the half-mile. The mile walk will bring out plenty of men, but they all need a great deal of improvement before they can figure in the big races. Thornton, Worth, Price, Bell, McMichael and HMetterman are the most promising candidates. Inthe bicycle races, Pennsylvania is strongest in her tandem teams, but has @ very good opportunity with the others too, if they fully develop their capabilities. At present Columbia has by far the best prospects in this event. The prospects in the weight events are brighter than ever. Wiley Wood- ruff has improved greatly in throw- ing the hammer and is regarded as the most likely winner in that event in the intercollegiates. Outland, Wentz, McDevitt, Dean, Overfield and McCracken are all promising men. Trainer Murphy, when seen on Sat- -urday, said that there was no reason why Pennsylvania’s team this year ‘should not surpass all previous ones. . The material is plenty and excellent and all that remains to: put it. «into the best possible shape. —_—___+9¢—____ Wale-Harvard Banquet.
