Australia Defeats England by a

Sensational Ending.

maintains a decked advantage taring the great, r

rart sf the geaae. for. leading on the first innings

by 73 runs, she had sever. Australian wickets down

in the second Innings for HI tuns.

It was at this point that C. Hilland R. Hartjpan

made a sensational stand for Australia. The heat

was intense, and neither bowlera nor fielders could

do themselves Justice. The Australians were not

unaffected themselves, but they stood it much Bet-

ter than the Knglishmen. several of whom became

indisposed. The two batsmen had all bowlers at

their mercy, sad they advanced the score by 2«

before they were separated.

This is a record score for the eighth wicket, the

previous best b«?in S 230. by It. W. Nichols a"Roche for lOddlesrr against Kent, in 1839. It is

also the longest partnership that has ever taken

place in a match between England and Australia.

R Hartlgan was finally caught by Gunn off Barnes

for 11?, and C. Hill was caught by the same flelder

of Crawford for a grand innings of ICO.

The total amounted to M England bad thus the

task of making 429 runs in the fourth Innings

LONG STAND AT CRICKET.

Th« New Haven Golf Club has disbanded and

th* course is now in charge of B. D. Pryde, a

Scotch professional who has been located there

for a number of fear* At one time the club

boa-tod an eighteen hoi- links, but later this

was reduced to nine holes. The course has al-

•Wan afforded a practice place for the Tale

golfers. Pryde. who is a thrifty Scot, will con-

duct the club as a proprietary organization.

Growing dissatisfaction with the rules on the

part of Americans has become qu\te pronounced-It yap in Sept. nibor last that the executivecommute <,f the United States Golf Associationwrote a notification to the St. Andrews commit-

tee Of the rxiMir.c; feeling hov<-. In (\v I

word "as received from Captain Burn.man of the St. Andrews committee, statin? thatthe rules were to he revised and that vn ad-

vance proof would be pent to the United Stat<

Golf Association for Bmentaeats. The revised

ruies are due in May. C B. MacdonaUl. of this

rity. is one of the fifteen members of the St.

Andrews committee.

Itis a matter of record that after the last tworevisions th<> United States Golf Association has

had the rules Interpreted !y a special commit-

tee for use in this country. The additions to the

ruies now in use were made after the revisionof ISf7 by Charles B. Mardonald, G. Herbert

Windeler and Walter J Travis for the United

States book. At that time the Royal andAncient committee said that th" Americans•would be asked for suggestions when noxt the

rules were revised.

As the final court of appeal in golf, the St.

Andrews committee has at intervals found Itnecpssar y to revise the rules of the game. Theresult Is that the present code, an accumulationof rules, so to speak, has become too verbose,

ifnot even contradictory, for many of the hair-

spiitring Americane.

The sub-committee confuted of Daniel Chaun-nejr, president of the association; W. FellowesMorgan and Lelghton Calkins. According to

the instructions the committee was to can-vass the United States Golf Association clubsto ascertain the American ideas on the rules,or the changes needed in them, and on this in-formation the sub-committee was to base itssuggestions to the Scotch committee.

The reason that three New Yorkers werenamed as the sub-committee, was to facilitatethe holding of many meetings to better study

the answers from golfers and the preparation

of the report to pro to Scotland. In discussing

the subject last night. Mr. Chauncey said:

"The report sent to the Royal and Ancient

rules committee willembody the views of a ma-jority of the clubs in the United States GolfAssociation. There are not many radicalchanges, but the sub-committee has gone to avast amount of labor in collecting the sugges-tions from our players. Our report containssuggestions as to rearranging- the rules, changes

in the wording and some modifications of penal-ties, but no changes in the spirit of the rules

or in the fundamental principles of the game."The work is complete in detail, but is more

of a rough draft than a finished report, as thoRoyal and Ancient committee cabled for us to

make haste. The report may not be made pub-

lic here; certainly not until ithas been receivedby the St. Andrews committee. It is a codifi-

cation of suggestions, and sent as such by re-quest of the St. Andrews committee. The UnitedState Golf Association has made no demands and

laid "down no conditions."

Suggestions by the United States Golf Asso-ciation for a revision in the rules of golf haver-oen rut in form and \u25a0svill be mailed to-day tothp rules committee of the Royal and AncientGolf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body inGreat Britain. This is being done at the re-quest of tbe club abroad, following pome corre-spondence laet fall with the ruling1 body here.

The work of compiling the pujrgestlons has beendon» by a cub-committee of the I'nited StatesGolf Association, which tva? selected at a meet-ing of the executive committee in Chicago dur-ing the women's championship at the Mid-lothian Country Club.

Mr. Scully thinks there must be more electrtasigns than this in BBS greater city, and he feelspretty certain there Is at least one sUm on OtaUmIsland. He intends appealing to Commissioner

The graduate directors «f the rowing club havenoticed a. lac* of enthusiasm on the part of theSorts toward rowing. Th!. condition of affair,

has caused us no little concern, an., we are W-l

to ask if the good start made last year Is to d«?

for naught. . ,The work of last year's crew we regard only as

a beginning—a foundation for better work Ii tn*

future There seems to be a false Impressionamong the undergraduates, and. In fact, some grad-uates, that it is going to be "easy" to keep up thegood work. But it isn't, an.l every one might Justas wellrealize it before further harm Is don*. . . .The crews go on the water March la. It's up to

every one to come out at once. Those who can trow- can at least subscribe to th« crew. We needmoney. It costs us $10,000 a year for the threecrews and the undergraduates must do their part

in raising this money. If every student gives $10

it will go a long ways toward winning the race.We can't row without the necessiry facilities.. . . We are trying to raise monfy among thegraduates, and*the constant query addressed to usis "What are th" undergraduates doing? Howmuch have you raised at college?"

Columbia Undergraduates Blamed

for Lack of Interest.Columbia's crew management Is using every ef-

fort to capture the 'varsity race at Potighkwpsle

this June but there Is a lack of willingness on \u25a0

part of the student body in general, according to

the graduate rowing directors, to do their share of

the work. When the first hard practice of the sea-

BOa was held on Monday only thirtyMr»port(>a

for the 'varsity and freshman crews. Hire had ex-

pected at least three times that number, as* In

order to give the men as much attention individu-ally as possible, had had the machine set up la a

separate room.Overconfidence as to the ability of the crews

seems to be the cause of the apathy that has ukr-n

held of the students. There are seven varans MS]

for the 'varsity eight, and their places ar* conceded

to them even at this early date. Th- 1.-»ck of suffi-

cient candidates and the scarcity of money with

which to provide new training quarters across th*

Hudson seem to be destroying what chances th*

Blue and White has of winningat Poughkeepsie.

With the idea of spurring the students to action

the graduate rowing directors have published a let-

ter in "The Columbia Spectator" which arraigns

them for their lack of interest In the sport andpleads for better support. The letter reaM in part

as follows:

PLEA FOR CREW FINDS.

"Insuperable Difficulties" in Way ofInternational Games.

Advices received in this city yesterday from

London put an end to all hope sj an interna-

tional track and field meeting between teams

representing the colleges and universities ofthis country and Great Britain following theOlympic games In London next summer.

Great interest has been amused in this '-oun-

try over the prospect of an international meet-

CHALLENGE IS REVISED.

A snow test of one of the new 43-horsepowerMajn cars was made by K. i;. Gallaher, man-ager of the Hajs Company, Limited, during arecent snowstorm, the car being run from NewYork to Poughkeepsie and return at the heightof the blizzard. The test was made to see how

the springs withstood the hard roads and roughgoins and to find out how the car could behandled under extremely unsatisfactory roadand weather conditions. Not only was it dem-onstrated thai the vanadium springs of theMaja overcame all road difficulties and made lbscar one of the easiest riding cars ever pro-duced, but a plenitude of power was on handfor all emergencies. The measuring of the gaso-lene carried at the start of the run and on th-

return showed that upward of twenty-one mileshad been made per gallon without any trouble.This result was something of a surprise to Mr.Gallnher, who had made no provision for aneconomy test. The four persons who madethe trip said that In spite of the chilly weatherft wa« a delightful and comfortable run fromevery point of view.

"We have had to plough through snowdriftafter snowdrift, and v,% have suffered some from

The contest committee of the Automobile Club

of America is making strenuous efforts to make

the Ormond-Daytona (Florida.! beach races, to

be held the first week in March, a big success

this v-uir. Three of the most active workers are

Robert Lee Morten, S. M. Butler and FrankWarner, the starter. Four powerful ravetasj curs-a Fiat, a Haynes, a Christie and a Renault—\u0084..., -.„, r nominated up to this time for the

Automobile Club of America Cup.

The contest committee of the stock car race

to be held in Westchester County on April 24

has decided to permit further entries at an extra

fee of ,?.-\u25a0<> a week, dating from the closing of

entries last Saturday. Eighteen entries, as

published in The Tribune yesterday, constitutethe official list so far received.

The Long Island Automobile Club believes

the 242-mile test will be a tough one. The

memorable New York to Albany race is the only

one-day affair approaching Its length held in

the metropolitan district. The Chicago Motor

Club is planning an endurance run of o<X> mile3in one day. The coming event la recommendedby the contest committee of the club as a means

by which drivers who have signed for the West-

chester race for the Briarcliff Trophy may showtheir worth and incidentally get some valuableexperience. It is also thought there will be

enough of wintry conditions to suggest therigors of an automobile trip from New York to

Par!? via Alaska and Siberia. The contest

committee of the Long Island Automobile Clubconsists of Arthur R. Pardlnpton, chairman; C.

G. Arnold and F. D. Bandell. Russell A. Fieldacts as secretary.

The winner of the test willbe the car whichcarries its full quota of passengers from Brook-lyn to Montauk Point and return at the lowestcost for each person, f,uel and oil only to be con-

sidered. A comparison with railroad rates will

be made. There will be no penalties for repairs,

replacements or adjustments to car or tires, butcontestants must complete the 242 miles withina time limit to be determined by th'- committee

the night before the test affr considering tele-graphic reports of the road conditions.

Each dealer is allowed an entry of not morethan three cars of any one make. The fees will

be: First car, $25; second, $15; third, $10, ora total of |90 for the limit of three. Regular

entries will close on February 20. Other en-tri< s will be received np to »! o'clock p. m. onMonday, February 24, the day before the con-test, at a penalty of SlO for pach car. The

Long island Automobile Club reserves the right

to abandon the test Ifat least twenty-five en-txtes have not been received at the regular clos-ing time and to postpone the event until somedate not conflicting with other race meets al-ready announced Ifthere should be snow enough

on the roads to make them impassable.

Contestants and officials will meet the night

before the test at the clubhouse to receive finalInstructions. Cars may be left in the clubgarage the night before the start, which will

be early in the morning. Entry blanks will be

issued immediately.

Long Island Club Will Hold aSevere Test This Month.

The Long Island Automobile Club will hold aone-day open midwinter economy test on Feb-ruary 25 from Brooklyn to Montauk Point andreturn, a distance of 2A2 miles. The suakof $200

will be expended for the first prize, $100 for thesecond and $50 for the third. Every car mustcarry its full quota of passengers according to

catalogue specifications, the same to include oneobserver nominated by another contestant. Ob-servers will be assigned, so far as possible, to

cars of corresponding prices. Sealed cans ofgasolene and lubricating oil will be placed inrharge of observers, who will give the same to

the respective drivers of the cars to whichthey are assigned, computing the expense at thefollowing prices: Gasolene, a gallon, 25 c^nts;

lubricating oil, a gallon, $1.

Up in The Bronx,down on Staten Island, over in New Jersey, or, infact, wherever a sheet of Ice of respectable Biascould be found, there were no lack of boys andgirls, to say nothing of men and women, flyingaround on the steel blades. The outlook is bright

for several days' more of good skating.

Furthermore, that while the com-petitions were open to all regularly registeredamateurs and post entries would be in order, theEastern Amateur officials had decided that in nocase would an entry be accepted unless the ap-plicant was able to show his card of registration

as an amateur. Xo excuses would be accepted.Altogether, the races to-night promise to bringtogether the strongest aggregation of skatersthat willbe seen In this city this season.

The lakes in Centra! Park were crowded yes-terday with a host of skaters, as the ice was infine condition and nobody could tell how long itwould last. The wind was cold and biting,butthis appeared to have no effect in keeping theenthusiasts at home, as good skating ice has beensuch a rarity this winter that it must needs bemade the most of.

Lamy won the two mile handicap in easy fashionin 5 minutes 56 3-5 seconds. The summaries fol-low:
