1902 State Landau, Contemporary description
... new State landau built by Messrs Hooper for King Edward VII and first used by him on the day of his coronation procession through London.


1902 State Landau, Contemporary description
This magnificent example of the coachbuilders' art is over 18 feet long. The body is hung upon C springs by strong braces covered with ornamentally stitched morocco; each brace is joined with a massive gilt buckle with oak leaf and crown device. Between the hind springs is a rumble for two footmen; there is no driving seat as the carriage is intended to be drawn only by horses ridden postillion. The panels are painted in purple lake considerably brighter than is usual in order to secure greater effect; marking the contours of the body and the outlines of the rumble are mouldings in wood carved and gilt, the design being one of over-lapping oak leaves.


1902 State Landau, Contemporary description
The door panels, back and front panels, bear the Royal Arms with crown, supporters, mantle, motto, helmet and garter. On the lower quarter panel is the collar of the Order of the Garter, encircling its star and surmounted by the Tudor crown. Springing in a slow graceful curve from the under part of the body over the forecarriage is a "splasher" of crimson patent leather. Ornamental brass lamps are carried in brackets at each of the four corners of the body.


1902 State Landau, Contemporary description
As regards the interior of this beautiful carriage it is upholstered in crimson satin and laces which were woven in Spitalfields; the hood is lined with silk, as better adapted than satin for folding. The rumble is covered with crimson leather. It is to be observed that with the exception of the pine and mahogany used for the panels, English-grown wood and English-made materials only have been used throughout.


1902 State Landau, Contemporary description
While less ornate than the wonderful "gold coach" designed by Sir Wm Chambers and Cipriani in 1761, the new State landau, in its build, proportions, and adornment, is probably the most graceful and regal vehicle ever built.

1902 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Season summary, Week 8:  Clemson
"The day was bitterly cold and a veritable typhoon was blowing straight down the field from one end to the other. We rushed the ball with more consistency than Tennessee, but throughout the entire first half they held us because of the superb punting of "Toots" Douglas, especially because, in that period he had the gale squarely with him. Going against that blizzard our labors were like unto those of Tantalus. Slowly, with infinite pains and a maximum of exertion, we pushed the ball from our territory to their 10-yard line.


1902 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Season summary, Week 8:  Clemson
We figured we had another down to draw on, but the referee begged to differ. He handed the ball to Tennessee and the "tornado." Their general cheerfully chirped a signal – Saxe Crawford, it must have been –; and "Toots" with sprightly step, dropped back for another of his Milky Way punts. I visualize him still, standing on his own goal line and squarely between his uprights. One quick glance he cast overhead – no doubt to make sure that howling was still the same old hurricane.


1902 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Season summary, Week 8:  Clemson
I knew at once what he proposed to do. The snap was perfect. "Toots" caught the ball, took two smart steps and – BLAM!–away shot the ball as though from the throat of Big Bertha. And, say, in his palmiest mathematical mood, I don't believe Sir Isaac Newton himself could have figured a more perfect trajectory to fit with that cyclone. Onward and upward, upward and onward, the crazy thing flew like a brainchild of Jules Verne. I thought it would clear the Blue Ridge Mountains.


1902 Tennessee Volunteers football team, Season summary, Week 8:  Clemson
Our safety man, the great Johnny Maxwell, was positioned 50 yards behind our rush line, yet the punt sailed over his head like a phantom aeroplane. Finally, it cam down, but still uncured of its wanderlust it started in to roll–toward our goal, of course, with Maxwell chasing and damning it with every step and breath. Finally it curled up and died on our one-footline, after a bowstring journey of just 109 yards."

1902 Turkestan earthquake
The 1902 Turkestan earthquake (Chinese: 土耳其斯坦地震; pinyin: Tǔ'ěrqí sītǎn dìzhèn; Kyrgyz: Түркстандагы жер титирөө, romanized: Türkstandagı jer titiröö) , also known as the Kashgar earthquake (Chinese: 喀什地震; pinyin: Kāshén dìzhèn; Kyrgyz: Кашкардагы жер титирөө, romanized: Kaşkardagı jer titiröö), Atushi earthquake, and Artux earthquake, was a devastating seismic event that struck the western part of Xinjiang, an autonomous territory in China, near the border with Kyrgyzstan. It occurred on August 22, 1902, at about 8:00 or 9:00 am local time. At least 5,650 to 20,000 people were killed, with many more injured. The earthquake registered 7.7 Mw  on the moment magnitude scale. It is the most powerful earthquake in that region, and in Kyrgyzstan, along with the 1911 Kebin earthquake.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Tectonic setting
The geological forces at play around Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang are directly related to the ongoing collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. The topography of this region is influenced by broad crustal deformation as a result of convergence along the Main Himalayan Thrust. Before the Indian subcontinent collided with Eurasia, there were island arcs and microcontinents between the two landmasses that were also converging. These terranes were later accreted to Eurasia as northward-moving India closed collided with Eurasia, and are now in present-day Central Asia. Ancient suture zones mark the boundary between these accreted terranes.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Tectonic setting
This deformation and accretion led to the formation of the Tien Shan mountains, which are moving 7±2 mm/yr towards the south along faults running along their base. The region is dominated by large, north and south-dipping thrust faults along the southern edge of the Tien Shan mountains, and the northern boundary of the Tarim basin, one of them being the Aheqi Fault Zone.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Earthquake
While scientific knowledge of the event is rather sparse due to the period in which it happened, research have given new insights into the earthquake of August 22, 1902. In a 2017 research, the earthquake was determined to have occurred at a depth of 18 km, while the epicenter coordinates at 39.87° N 76.42° E, a relocation from most global event catalogs which place the epicenter coordinates at 40.0° N 77.00° E. The earthquake magnitude was also recalculated to be 7.7, while older figures presented magnitude 8.3 (written as 8.25) or 8.6.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Earthquake
Thrust faulting was the culprit of this event, involving a rupture on the Ttiotegongbaizi-Aerpaleike Fault located at the southern flanks of the Tien Shan range. This fault is 200 km long, and expresses itself at the surface like a gentle wave-shape. It dips north at varying angles of 25° to 60°. Newer research and analysis show that the quake was consistent with a rupture involving the Tuotegongbaizi-Aerpaleike Fault, near the western segment of the much larger Kalpin fold and thrust belt.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Earthquake
It was this fault that was responsible for the 1996 Artux earthquake, an Mwc  6.3 event that killed some 26 people in March 1996. Field observations by researchers found no trace of surface ruptures indicating the event was a blind thrust earthquake.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Damage and casualties
The earthquake struck at 8:00 or 9:00 am on August 22, lasting for one and a half minutes, and reported to be extremely violent. Severe aftershocks were felt every day up till August 30. The mainshock was recorded on seismographs all over Europe. It had a maximum intensity of X to XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale, X on the Rossi-Forel scale and X on the MSK-64 scale.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Damage and casualties
Around the meizoseismal area; an area that encompassed Kashgar and Artux, shaking was assigned X to XI (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The ground motion was so forceful that the tip of trees touched the ground and some were even uprooted or snapped. All wood-constructed homes collapsed and many tents became deformed. Ground slumping near a riverbank blocked roads and dammed streams. Large ground fissures ejected water, transforming the ground into mud. The largest fissure measured one kilometer in length, several meters wide, and three meters deep. Five hundred (500) people died in the area. Many domesticated animals were also killed.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Damage and casualties
In Kashgar, the mainshock collapsed sun-dried brick walls and collapsing homes. Masonry buildings however did not sustain serious damage. Numerous fissures opened in the northern entrance of the city, where the city walls also toppled. Part of the Afaq Khoja Mausoleum, a tomb in the heart of Kashgar, collapsed and fractured. At least 50 inhabitants lost their lives or were injured. The Artush district north of Kashgar suffered more devastating consequences. The earthquake collapsed almost every house in the area. Some 667 people were killed, and thousands more were injured in the city.


1902 Turkestan earthquake, Damage and casualties
The village of Astyn saw 400 fatalities, and in Jangi, 20 fatalities.

Elections to the United States House of Representatives held in 1902 occurred in the middle of President Theodore Roosevelt's first term, about a year after the assassination of President William McKinley in September 1901.


1902 United States House of Representatives elections
Due to the increased size of the House and the reapportionment that resulted from the 1900 U.S. Census, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party both gained seats simultaneously, which has not occurred in any elections since. The Democrats increased their share of the House, but not by enough to regain control.


1902 United States House of Representatives elections
With a stable economy and no cornerstone issue, Democratic gains can mostly be linked to the effects of redistricting. Many of the new seats were in areas with high numbers of immigrants (mostly Eastern and Southern European industrial workers, and Northern European farmers), with new immigrants tending to vote Democrat. The Populist Party disappeared from the House, with its supporters almost unanimously switching to the Democratic Party.

"November 14 -- The Vanderbilt football squad left Thursday night for New Orleans. The regular varsity team except for staunch quarterback Frank Kyle boarded the train for the longest, hardest trip of the year. Kyle was left behind with a lame back. Those making the trip are: Perry, Morgan, Graham, Massey, Lawler, Bryan, Howell, Blake, Hamilton, Harris, Love, Tigert, Capt. Davis, Edgerton, Coach Watkins, Manager Buckley, Assistant Manager Creighton, Dr. W. L. Dudley, Doswell Brown, Martin, Wade, Williamson, Barr and Dunbar. The boys will play Tulane Saturday and L.S.U. Monday."


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, Tulane
"About 8,000 spectators witnessed the easy victory of Vanderbilt over Tulane Saturday, the score being 23 to 5. It was the largest crowd of the season. The playing of the Vanderbilt team in the first half was fast and furious, and a score of 23 was made. Tulane was saved from a goose egg by the drop kick of Westerfield from the 35-yard line.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, Tulane
"In the second half the game was close. Blake took the place of Davis, and Wade that of Perry. The aim of the Vanderbilt boys seemed only to hold the score. The weather was very hot, and made it especially hard on the visitors. Vanderbilt outclassed Tulane in weight and skill, and did not have much trouble in making their gains. The star players for Vanderbilt were Howell, Davis, Bryan and Hamilton.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, Tulane
"The feature of the game was Howell's 95-yard run. He advanced the ball from the kick off, and almost every Tulane man made a tackle at him. Davis, as usual, made his gains and two long runs. Bryan was in the game from the start, and did good work. Hamilton made two touchdowns. He bundled the Tulane line for one of them, which was a pretty piece of work. Though Westerfield is a good sprinter, Tigert's punts equaled his every time.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, Tulane
"Tulane has a gritty team, and though they played against odds, they improved as the game went on, and did their best to the end. The score does not show the relative merits of the two teams, because Kyle and Edgerton being out weakened the Vanderbilt team. Tulane was amazed at the quickness of Vanderbilt and while the Vanderbilt boys regret the score, it was not one to grieve over. Tulane only tried the drop kick as a last resort when they despaired of reaching the goal otherwise."


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"Vanderbilt defeated Louisiana State University, 27 to 5, yesterday. It was an ideal day and about 1,000 people witnessed the game. A place kick only saved Louisiana State University from a whitewash. The game was lacking in interest, for Vanderbilt displayed her superiority so strongly that Louisiana was outclassed.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"Louisiana State University kicked off and Vanderbilt advanced the ball steadily for a touch-down. This was repeated, Tigert making the two touchdowns. Louisiana State University got the ball only once in the first half and lost on downs. At the end of the half the score stood 11 to 0.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"Vanderbilt kicked off and Louisiana State University lost on downs in the second half. The visitors advanced the ball for a touchdown. Davis failed, in kicking a goal. Louisiana State University seemed to be very weak. Vanderbilt made her gains every time, and only lost the ball on fumbles. Louisiana State University never advanced far before losing on downs, they were entirely outclassed in weight and skill. It is hard to say who were the star players for Vanderbilt. Every man played a good game. The playing of Edgerton, Davis, Tigert, and Lawler deserves special notice. For Louisiana State University the playing of Sales, deserves notice.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"The Vanderbilt boys are sore over the treatment they received. The Louisiana State University team couldn't take defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. They claimed that Vanderbilt knew their signals and made uncomplimentary remarks from their sidelines, and altogether the treatment was not as good as the team expected. Vanderbilt played a harder game than at Tulane, and Louisiana State University has a much better team than Tulane. Vanderbilt played a much faster game than Louisiana State University and every trick was a success. Louisiana State University depended entirely on straight football and never succeeded in working any trick.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU

Time of halves, 25 minutes."

"The rumor that Coach Watkins will discontinue his connection with the Vanderbilt Athletic Association at the close of the present season is creating such interest in football circles. It is reliably stated that Mr. Watkins will resign his position as head coach of the Vanderbilt football and baseball teams in order that he devote attention to the study of law exclusively.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"Walter H. Watkins is the most successful coach who has trained a team in the South for years. He has had charge of the Vanderbilt team for two years, and both years won the championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The year previously he coached the Auburn team through the most successful season that the institute has experienced on the gridiron in its history. Last spring he coached the Vanderbilt baseball team and was remarkably successful with indifferent and untrained material, winning a large majority. Of the games played. He is an indefatigable worker and has the idea of amateur athletics developed to a clear-out and scientific fashion.


1902 Vanderbilt Commodores football team, Season summary, LSU
"Walter H. Watkins is a graduate of the Princeton class of '99. He was one of the stars on the baseball team, was prominent in track work and was first substitute on the football team for two years. His loss will be a hard blow to Vanderbilt, as his place will be hard to fill. It is understood that Vanderbilt will make an effort to secure the services of Coach Neil Snow, provided he is not retained by the University of Nashville."

On September 20, coach Fred Crolius pitted his two teams against each other in a practice game consisting of two ten minute halves.

Four minutes after kickoff Briney of the three A's plunged into the end zone for a touchdown. The WUP kicked off again and the A's offense continued to find holes in the WUP defense with Reynolds scoring after another four minutes of play.

1902 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Westminster
Even with the crowd larger than the Grove City game, the usual pageantry associated with past Westminster versus WUP football tussles was missing for the October 16th match at the Colosseum. However, the antics on the field kept everyone entertained. Initially, there was a disagreement about the length of the halves. The compromise was one thirty minute half and one twenty-five minute half. After alternating possessions, the WUP offense (minus injured halfbacks John Martin and Paul McClain) moved the ball through the Titan defense but could not sustain the drive and were forced to punt.
