The sc American Xunder.V

George Seward, the w%ell-known
sprint runner, died recently at his
home, Birkenhead, England. He Vas
the most famous athlete Of modern
times, and though nc doubt the phe-
nomenally fast times credited him in
some of his races are inaccurate, yet
his speed was so great that he could
defeat at his favorite distances any man
of his day. He was by birth an
American, having been born at New
Haven, Conn, October II, lS17. Early
in life Seward was noted as a speedy
runner, and around New Haven there
time ran 100 yards there in eight sec
onds. Seward was a matchmaker by
trade and augmented his income by
racing for small stakes at New Haven.
His fame spread, and in 1871 when he
went to England the stories of his
prowess had preceded him. At that
time he was a very muscular man,
weighing 159 pounds and standing
about 5 feet s inches. He ran several
races shortly after arriving in England,
but the one for which he has become
famous was that of September 30, 1874,
He had us a competitor William Rob
inson, of Newton Moor. The race
took place not far from the Seven Stars
inn, on the Hammersmith new road,
and was for $50 a side. Seward in
that race weighed 149 pounds. After
a half dozen false starts the men went
owe the mark together and at the
finish Say-nr1 yUnS phnnt fUn Yards
ahead of Robinson. Belts Life, in re-
porting the race, said "The distance
was run in less than ten seconds, but
the American Deer said that by his
first-rate watch the 100 yards was run
in less than ct seconds This per-
Torrance of late years has not been
credited, as the men took a flying start.
running from q nine-foot scratch, and
it is also doubtful if the course was a
full 100 yards. Stewards other per-
formances still stand on the record
books-his 120 yards in III seconds,
run May 3, 1S47, and his 200 yards in
1911 seconds, done March %, 1S47,
being the fastest performances on
record. Seward ono made a match
with Charles Westhall to give him two
yards start in 100, but Westhall paid
forfeit and the race never took place.
After this, as Seward could not hope
to race with any man at even terms,
he issued a challenge to run any man,
''black. white or M color" to give
them five yards in l20 or ten in 300,
for from 600 to G 1000 a side. Sew
ard was a great hurdler and jumper,
and it is related of him that he once.

Queer Habits of Composers.

Those who visited Wagner in his
retreat at Baireuth told strange stories,
which lost nothing in the telling, of
his peculiar habits. Like Balzac he
found costume in aid to composition,
and was said sometimes to receive
guests in the medieval gar6 he used
to don when writing "siegfried" OF
the" Meistersinger." He liked to vary
the furniture of his apartments and
cram them with curiosities. But it is
easy to parallel these vagaries of Wag-
ner's-perhaps a last intirmity' of
lively imaginations-with the queer
devices to which his Compeersin music
and literature have had recourse to
stimulate their fancy. Gluck com

The Monkey and the Sugar.

A recent English writer gives the
following instan e of the sagacity of
animals l remember once in India
giving a tame monkey a lump of sugar
inside of a corked bottle. The monkey
Was of an inquiring mind. and it near
ly killed it. Sometimes, in an impulse
of disgust, it would throw the bottle
away out Of its OWL reach, and then be
distracted until it was given back to
it. At others it would sit with II
c%ountenance of the most intense de-
lection, contemplating the bottled
sugar; and then, as if pulling at the
solution, would sternly take up the
problem afresh, and gaze into it. 1t
would tilt it one way and try to
drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it try to
catch it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impre sim that it could
capture it by a surprise, it kept rasplng
its teeth against the glass in futile
bites, and warming to the pursuit of
the revolving lump, used to tie itself
into regular knots around the bottle.
Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy
would alternate with spasms of delight
as a new idea seemed to suggcst itself,
followed by a new series of expert
ments.
Nothing availed, however, until one
day a light was shed upon the problem
by a Jar of olives falling from tho
table with a crash, AID the fruit rolled
about i'll all directions. His monkey
ship contemplated the catastrophe, and
reasoned upon it with the intelligence
of a Humboldt. Lifting the bottle
high in his paws, he brought it down
with a tremendous noise smashing the
glass into fragments, after which he
calmly transftr red the sugar to his
| mouth, and munched it with much
satisfaction. .
