If tt la true that' an appreciable number of bojs go Into track athletics not for the sport, but for the medals, the sooner medals are done away with the better.

It is more probable that baseball Vnd tennis have been superseded, to a Certain extent. b track and field sporfiibecausexif the nature of the latter. ( A boy can go out and run and Jump or put the shot all by himself at almost any time of the day. But he cannot go into an open field and play baseball with lilmself. nor can he go to a tennis court and play tennis with himself. In one case he must secure oive opponent at least, and in the other he must gather a dozen or more companions, To be sure, these objections are not very valid in New York, but I have no doubt the charm of individuality has tempted a good many boys to indulge in track sports. If base ball and tennis have suffered thereby it is all the more reason why base ball and tennis enthusiasts should strive by every means in their power to organise good nines and train good tennis players, for it Is an unhealthy tree that puts all Its vl tallty Into one branch. -- se I.i'.l'is and telegram have reaehed htr from Cincinnati, Chicago an i many other points, .commending her action Mrs. Griffin had accompanied a patty of ladies to the theater, and after they had been seated the two young nun came in.

The doctor looked at his wife tn astonishment, which was not wholly dispelled as she explained that she had gone to bed and to sleep, but had suddenly found herself In a sitting posture with a nameless dread that something dreadful had happened to her husband. Being unable to shake It off she had arisen and waited for his return. On comparison It was found that the time of the accident and that of her strange awakening were Identical. -- ELEVATOR KING.
