And the waning la the more rapid process of the two. Friday night used to be the one pre eminently trig nlsht of the enow, It Is still as big a night as any, but Thursday night Is about equal to It, and "Wednesday Is almost as good, while Tuesday and Monday are coming into prominence. In fact, the Horse Show Is petting to be a pretty prwj week's wort The crowds yesterday were as large as they have bees at all: perhaps a trifle larger, though the day rTjenei with comparatively few present. Those- who dlfl come to see the morning contests saw one of the most Interesting of the whole week— the com petltluu of drivers In the four-in-hand class. But the programme was full of Interesting features all through the day and evening. The crowds began to come in earnest before the afternoon was over, and the Garden was as well filled as It has been on any afternoon of the week. In the evening: it was a wonderful eight. And it came suddenly. Till 8:30 o'clock or so the place eeemea empty. Then the people began to come, ar.d they came as fast as they could get through the floors for perhaps an hour. By that time there ■was not much room left. Every sitting place was taken, clear up to the angles of the roof, and all the standing places -which commanded views of the ring were filed, too. Then there was the constant, broad stream of people flowing around and around the arena, as the old geographers thought that the ocean Sowed around the world. GROOM'S LOST BOT RESTORED. Hundreds of people at the Faurth-ewe. end of the Garden became Interested in a small boy who got loft. He was about four years old. and he was found crying at the loss of his mother. He was taken to the pressroom, and there questioned as to who he was and where he came from, points on which he was decidedly vague. He soon recovered hie cheerfulness, however, and consented to drink Finger ale to the health of the press of New-York end to take a little free luncheon with It. As his •ptrlts rose he admitted that his name was Ander fon and that his father worked in the ring and wore big. high boots. With this clew Investigation was made, and It was found that his father was one of the grooms at the Judges' stand. A little falling off In attendance may be expected tcMJay, on the theory which many hold that the last day of the show Is merely a day of finishing '-p cud getting out, iut there are still some inter esting classes to be judged. Including cavalry and polo horeea and two or three classes of Jumpers. HOWLETTS SUPERB DRIVING. One of the finest competitions of the show was f^.n in the driving of the four in hand teams for the $500 cup offered t»r James H. Hyde. Some of Tiffany & Co* Rich China and Glass for Thanksgiving Exclusive novelties in rock crystal glass, richly cut and gilded glass, vine services, roemers, champagne jugs, spirit and cordial sets, centre pieces, bowls, vases, etc., also choice collections of richly decorated dinner, fish and game plates. Tiffany & Co. UNION SQUARE NEW YORK tb» t>«*t whip* in the country wer» to *how rh«tr ■kill to holding: th« reins over th* pranolns; animals Attached to the lumbartn* coach. It Is said that R. F. Carman was so confident that he would win that he wagered tfiOO with a friend that ha would leave all of Ills competitors behind. The coach was furnished by the association. The competition was ■won by Morris "K. Howlett, the French whip, after a competition which caused the liveliest Interest among the spectators. General regret was ex pressed that the contest did not take placa in tha evening, when the attendance was so large. While Mr. Howlett grave a superb exhibition of driving, the friends of Mr. Carman say. that the French whip had much the better of the arrange ment. Mr. Carman was the first to en tar the ring, and his friends say that he had practically to school the teams Into smooth -working order. By the time the other competitors climbed to the box seat the horses were thoroughly schooled, and that was certainly an advantage. Mr. Howlett's work In turning the corners wa« loudly applauded. His leaders never swerved, pulled or broke, the animals falling Into line at the curves and taking them with a nicety shown ordinarily In straightaway driving. Mr. Howlett handled the reins as If they were silken ribbons, using wrist and linger movements almost exclusively. More attention was given to the high stepping hackneys than usual. Extensive breeding experi ment!) p. re In progress with this class of horse. and some of the horsemen seem to think that the J. GOULD'S PRIZE WIXXIXG HIGH STEPPER BURLINGHAM. cross with the trotter will in the end show a road horse of the highest class. Some of the same ex perts says that the pure hackney is about as useful as a pug dog of the velvet skin variety; nice as a pet, but short •winded and tiring quickly. Some of these horses shown by F. C. Stevens, of Attica. N. T., were highly commended. Fandango, a prize winner in this class, by the way. is the property of the president of one of the largest electric auto mobile companies. "TOD" SLOAN STARED AT. "Tod" Sloan, the comical looking little chap who has set the English turf on fire, was a spectator during the evening. The Jockey was In faultless evening attire, as he walked around the promenade only a few feet behind Chauncey M, Depew. Many recognized the Senator and after dinner speaker, but a greater number seemed to recognize the little jockey whose release by the Prince of Wale." re cently has caused bo much discussion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. "Tod" was content to be stared at for several turns of the promenade, and then went back to the Victoria Hotel, where he Is staying. THE AWARDS.

"Tod" Sloan, the diminutive Jockey, -who has caused bo much comment on both sides of the At lantic, arrived on the steamship Kaiser "Wllhelm dar Grosse yesterday. Sloan and a few friends want immediately to the Victoria Hotel, where he secured a room and deposited his Jewel case as usual with the clerk, but failed to register. The jockey denied himself to all callers except f 1 few Intimate friends, and he was not particularly com municative even to them. He will visit his home in the West, and Intends to spend a portion of the cold spell In California, •where ho may ride occasionally. He expects to re turn to England In the early spring, in eplte of the fart that his arrangement to ride the horses for the Prince of Wales has been cancelled. Sloan did not think that the present hostile feeling toward Amer ican trainers and Jockeys in England would be lasting. He spoke in the highest terms of the R iff and other American jockeys, vho are Ftlll winning the lion's share of races in England and France. PILLSEURT PLATS BLINDFOLDED. Harry N.

The Horse Show number of "The Rider and Driver." with Its hundred paces of Illustrated mat ter. Is of ir.terest, as It contains for the first time a complete list and description of tho appointments for the various kinds of equipages, from a gig to a four-ln-hand. A Flmiip.r code of Instructions Is given on the use of liveries and stable regulations. Many person? devoted to horses possess the means of maintaining a large stable., but are not alto gether sure about the various points to be ob served in appointments and liveries. To them the Horse Show number of "The Rider and Driv-r" Is likely to prove useful. OFFICERS OF HARDWARE ASSOCIATION.

While Leroy Powell, a clerk, was taking the let ters out of the night box at the Mount Vernon postofllce yesterday morning, hln fingers closed on something that squirmed vigorously and made a hissing noise. Powell peered Into the box, and could see two beadllke eyes gleaming like emer alds He railed the other clerk and they opened the box which was found to contain a live snake three feet long. The reptile had been put in the box at night, probably by mischievous boys. It was not of a poisonous variety. EVER HUNT FOR AN APARTMENT? Yes; but "Never Again." What's the use. anyhow, when The Tribune presents each Sunday pictures and plans of the best In town? # GREATEST FOOTBALL BATTLE OP THE YEAR TO BE FOUGHT AT NEW-HAVBN. THE WINNER WILL BE CHAMPION— BLUE A SLIGHT FAVORITE. BUT EVEN MONET RULES— TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT OVER THB STRUGGLE. The erreatest football battle of the season will h « fought between Harvard and Yale this after noon, and many people declare that the struggle to-day at New-Haven will be the most exciting that gridiron history has ever furnished. It Is sure that Interest ln the great contest is extraordinary and unprecedented, and ever since Harvard's victory over Pennsylvania and Yale's over Princeton this Interest has been growing at a tremendous rate. New-Haven will be filled to overflowing from early morning until late to-night, for train after train, made up of special cars and bearing shouting bands of Blue and Crimson enthusiasts from New- York and Boston, will pour their thousands Into the City of Elms. When the football managers of Yale began to prepare for a crowd of 17,000 people they thought that they were doing great things; but no sooner were the applications for seats re ceived, a week or so ago. than the managers found themselves simply swamped. In the ef fort to fill the demand they arranged to have 3,000 or 4.000 more seats securely built at Yale Field, but even so there are many hundred graduates of both universities who have not been abl? to get a seat, while the general public will hardly get a smell of the game. A wall has come down from New- Haven that the fresh men, who, of course, have laat choice of the classes, must sit at the end of the field or stay home altogether, and all this only goes to show the amazing Interest and excitement which the big battle has aroused at bbth the universities. At the Harvard Club ln this city the demand for Beats far exceeded the supply, so the committee sent on to Cambridge a plea for more accom modations. The Harvard Club of New-York, which recently grave a $25,000 boathouse to the university, can usually get about what It wants in the way of tickets, but, although Cambridge scraped together every available billet, the Har vard Club committee had to return unfilled a large number of applications. When the tickets were distributed on Thursday morning there was a big crowd at the clubhouse, ln Forty fourth-st. Then the efforts of the speculators have served to complicate the ticket question considerably. The pasteboard this year is not very elaborate, and it has been discovered that counterfeiters are hard at work. Both the Hanard and Yale managements have therefore warned the public against buying tickets ln the hands of any speculators. GREAT CROWDS FROM FAR AND NEAR. The first of the long special trains will start from the (irand Central Station, ln this city, at about 10 o'clock this morning, and from that time on they will run at short Intervals until about 11 or 11:30 a. m. The Harvard and Yale clubs will have many special cars cf their own. some for the u?e nf members and their women guests an<l others for members alone. On these latter care the club sen-ants will travel, and plenty to eat and drink will be carried along. At New- Haven unusual preparations have been made to handle the crowds, and one improvement that » w .ynrk people especially wi'.l appreciate Is the extension of the trolley line clear to Yale Field. Formerly it stopped about half a mile on the New-Haven side of the grounds. The chief reason for the remarkable Interest shown ln the game to-day is that the winner, Harvard or Yale, will be decisively the champion of the season. Harvard and Yale defeated the two other members of the "Big Four." Pennsyl vania and Princeton, by such big scores, respec tively, that it is plain that the Crlmßon and the Blue elevens are strictly ln a class by themselves this year, and the better one of the two Is easily entitled to the name of champion. Then another reason for the excitement that prevails is ln the CHESS. HARVARD-YALE TO-DAY. JAMES UWREN'CE, Harvard's light tackle. terri-flc stmg-gle which Tale will make to win back her prestige, which ha« been greatly dimmed in the last few years with Harvard. Yale won In 181*4 by a narrow score, 12 to 4. In 1896 and 1896 no pannes were played. In 1597 the elevens played a tie but the next year Har vard walloped Yale. IT to 0. on Yale Field. Last season agraln at Cambridge, with Harvard a heavy favorite. Yale played the Crimson a tie. 0 to O. This year each side is determined that the result shall be decisive, be it victory or defeat. The betting, which shows plainly public opin ion, but which ln a g-ame as full of surprises aa football Is is no real indication of the outcome, is a shade in favor of Yale, but only a .shade. One het was recorded on the Stork Exchange <r. Thursday of $500 on Yale to $450 on Har vard, yesterday a Harvard man on the Ex change offered $900 against $1,000. There v ere no Yale takers, and It was reported later that the bet was arranged on even terms. At Cambridge the men have been sticking out for small odds on the strength of the game being played at New-Haven, but it looks as if more money at even terms would be put up than at or.ds. BOTH FIDES SEEM CONFIDENT. According to all report*, however, a su premely confident feeling exists at New-Haven. The belief has been strong there all the season that Yale had wonderful material and the mak ing of a championship team. Beginning with the Carlisle game, two weeks ago, the New- Haven team seemed to find Itself overwhelm ing the . Indians and then burying Princeton away down deep. The well nigh perfect play ing of their eleven In these two games is what has given the New-Haven shouters such confi dence In a victory to-day. Harvard's stock, on the other hand, is also high, because of her great victory over the Quakers and because she seems to have emerged completely from the slump which came after that Pennsylvania game. Figure jt whatever way you will, the struggle* is sure' to bring out the best football that has ever been seen on a college gridiron, with both teams more evenly matched than ever before. In sizing up the two elevens it ifl best to consider first physical condition, for that in four cases out of five Is the ultimate arbiter In a gruelling contest. In this par ticular Yale usually has some advantage. Her trainer. Murphy, is a past master in the art of physical training, and is on the whole a much more competent man than •Sootty" McMasters at Harvard. Last year, for instance. Harvard had a superb team, but when th*v cam* to th* Tale frame they were not on edge. \ They lacked '. their former ginger, while Murphy*! pets were 1 perfectly fit. This year the report Is that Har vard's eleven la trained to the hour. Nobody will know as to that until about 2:SO p. m. to day. Harvard men figure, though, that bow ever clever a trainer Murphy may be he can not possibly keep the Yale men up to the j physical notch of last Saturday's game with : Princeton. Everybody knows how difficult It j is to hold an eleven at toe form for a week. A good many experts, therefore, believe that , Tale will not be so fast to-day as she was a j week ago. This Is one thing that Harvard men • rather look for. too. TWO DISTINCT STYLES OF PLAY. Apart, then, from th« question of physical con dition, which Is likely to cut a larger figure, the ! whole game resolves Itself down to a struggle between two well defined systems and modes of attack. Harvard plays the open game, the 1 quick dash between tackle and end, or around the end entirely. Her interference for this style of play Is wonderfully efficient, and she will oount upon several of these end runs netting her In the course of the game anywhere from , ten to twenty yards apiece. This Is the style of gains that eat up territory very quickly and. If they can be carried out, bring the ball to the enemy's goal with far less effort than the line j bucking method which Yale adopts. This style of attack, known as the close game, had a splen did example and vindication in the contest | against Princeton. There was nothing showy . about the work, and against Harvard, unless the ; Cambridge line men become worn out. Yale ex pects to make no long single gains through the j line. What Yale does expect to do, however, is ■ to hammer her way steadily down the field, tak- | ing three rushes perhaps to gain her distance | each time. This method Is a fearfully hard strain upon both sides, and it is largely because Yale believes her physical condition to be per fect that she relies upon her men standing up j better under the strain than Harvard's. Cer- ; tainly if Yale can. even without scoring, suc ceed in pounding Harvard's line to pieces in the first half, then she will surely win out in the second half of the game. Those bull like rushes of Hale and Brown, and of Stillman and Bloomer, who will drop behind for the tackles back formation, are what Yale j relies upon to carry the day. Unless Harvard j can stop those four men in the various com- j binations which they form the sun will set on a j New-Haven triumph. Harvard men believe that ! their defence is Just strong enough to keep those 1 men from running away with things. Harvard j men say that the tackles back formation Is no worse than the guards back: they stopped the guards back, and therefore they can stop this | Yale attack. They, of course, believe Yale will j gain many yards by these plays, but they think I they can break them up before -he goal, or else ; that some Yale man will drop the ball. A BRIEF COMPARISON. This point of fumbling Is the one that has given Yale's coaches most worry, though Har vard Is by no means without blemish in hand ling the ball. But Yale has shown in a marked manner her apprehension on this point. Wear, j who has been at quarterback almost all the p»apon, made three bad muffs at Princeton last Saturday, and It seems certain that Flncke will | be at quarterback to-day. This change has j made a vacancy at left halfback, where Sharpe j will probably play. Sharpe is the man who kicked a field goal from the 45-yard line In the Princeton game last year. He la strong, . too. on punting— a department in which Yale ■ has been weak this year. In fact, It looks as if Yale, even with Sharpe booting the leather, • would probably be outpunted by Harvard. Back j of the line, with the exception that Ellis is j hardly the equal of Hale, Harvard is accounted as stronger. Captain Daly is certainly head and Fhoulders in generalship and body play above Yale's quarterback. In th» line Yale, from tackle to tackle, is considerably better than Harvard, though Lawrence will hold up his Bide well for the Crimson. At the ends Yale la thought to be much inferior, but the Blue ends certainly played a whirlwind game against the Indiana and Princeton. There Is every prospect that the day will be a first class one for football. Both sides want a hard firm turf under foot and a good crisp air to enliven them. It looks as if both these blessings would be vouchsafed to them, for the officials of the United States Weather Bureau, which rules wind and weather, give a forecast for to-day In Connecticut of "partly cloudy to fair, and colder." Nobody could ask better than that. The officials of the game have had long experience in big contests and can be counted upon to bring things off promptly. They are as follows: Umpire. Paul J. Dashlel. of Annapolis, referee. Matthew McClung, of LehlKh; time keeper, A. E. Whiting, of Cornell. The game will be called at 2 p. m. sharp. YALE'S TEAM IS READY FOR BATTLE. FTNCKE WILL PLAT QUARTERBACK AND SHARPE LEFT HALFBACK TO-DAT. New-Haven. Conn.. Nov. 23 (Special).— On the eve of the great football game all is excitement on the campus, while the town has taken on an air of holiday gayety. Flags, bunting and all sorts of decorations enliven the show windows of Chapel rt. Few undergraduates are without guests in their rooms to-night, and already the Harvard men are getting together in groups to give their yell. No game between the two rivals has ex cited such widespread interest as the present one. for this Is th© first game in six years that has actually decided the championship. Tale's practice this afternoon was short and very light, including a drill at signals and catching punts by the backs. There is no doubt that Fincke will play quarterback, as Wear's unsteadiness has not been eradicated this week. Campbell and Hallo well are too sure of making fumbles costly for the blue to allow of any risks. With Sharpe and Ftncke to handle punts In the backfleld. there can be no fear of muffing. On account of his pro ficiency In catching punts and his skill in dropping croals from the field Sharpe has at last won out In the race for left halfback. His running mate will be Chadwlck. who will start the game, though he may not be able to last the whole two halves. In case he la forced to retire. Cook Is all ready to lump into his place. In all probability Sharpe will be called upon to punt, as Hale Is not altogether satisfactory in gaining distance, and if Harvard is forced down to her 30-yard line, she may look out for a field poaL Yale will line up an follows: Loft end.

A telegram from August Belinont. chairman of th» Jockey Club, was received to-day. In which he an nounces that full protection will be given to all horsemen participating In the meeting here after November 30.

COUNSEL FOR CLARK ESTATE DENIES IT. ANT> PATS NO OFFER HAS BEEN RECEIVED. A report was current last night that th© Esrptra City track had been sold to a syndicate of which John F. Carroll was the head. The track was built by the late ex-Corporation Counsel W. H. Clark, and by his will the property was left to Ms wife. John Sexton was chosen administrator of the Claris estate, and Register Isaac Fromrae counsel. "When asked last night if the report about th» sale of the track was true Register Fromme said thai the Empire .''.'-> track had not been sold, and that it would probably b*» held permanently for the benefit of Mrs. Clark and the other fcelrs of th© estate unless some sati3factory prtce was offered for It. Mr. Fromme intimated that some parson or persons had tried to secure the course at a sum greatly less than the estimated value of the prop erty. He thought that two running meetings might be held at the course next season, and that th« facilities for netting to and from the track would be much Improved before another meeting was opened there. "I understand that the trol>y line between Mount "Vernon and the track Intends." said Mr. Fromme, "to operate a double track system, and the addi tional track will soon be laid. The course may be Improved ry Mr Sexton. We have received no offer for the track, and anticipate none. The statement printed did not contain a word of truth." ENTRIES FOR TO-DAT.
