Panic in n Menagerie.


A terrible panic occurred at Womb
Wells Menagerie yesterday, which, during
the New Year week, was exhibiting at
Bolton. The scare did not pass over with
out serious personal injuries being sus-
tanned. 1t appears that about O'Clock
DelmonicO, the liOn-tamer, who puts tiger
cats and lions through a series of perfOr-
mances, entered the den occupied by the
tiger cats, and he had scarcely had time
to close the door when one OF the tigers
slipped between his legs and bounded into
the middle of the menagerie, which was
thrOnged at the time with spectators. A
scene of the widest excitement followed.
The tiger rushed about the tent fOaming
with rage, but as it was followed by Del
mOnice it skunk into corner, and at
tempts were then made by the regular at
PENDANTS to secure it by covering it with
large empty barrel. In the meanwhile
the mass of people, young and old, who
bad obtained admission to the exhibition
during the afternoon were filled with hOr-
rOr, as they might we'll be, and ran to the
steps leading from the menagerie. Many
were thrown down on the ground, and not
IA few were trampled upon. The force of
the crush was such at one corner that the
boarding between two caravans was
thrown down, and from the aperture thus
made women rushed out screaming and
fdinting, while others came pouring out
by the main entrance, causing intense
cOmmotiOn among the people collected
outside. During the time the terrible eX-
citement prevailed one young woman was
thrown against cage, whereupon u IT,
gress in it Immediately thrust out paw
and caught her by the back of the neck,
tearing OFT her bonnet and decorating her
neck. She was taken to the Intirmary.
While this was going on, the tiger cat had
been sec Ired by means of a barrel, and it
was again placed in it's den. The space
i'll the centre had scarcely been cleared
when report spread that the animal had
escaped second time. Once more there
was frightful rush among those inside
the menagerie. The second report was.
however, groundless, and gradually the
excitement subsidized, and the boarding
broken down in the first rush was repac-
ed, and the band having struck up
lively air, tranquility v as restored.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE PROFESSIONAL INCOLLEGE
ATHLETIC SPORTS.

The President of Harvard sits Down
on the Trainers and Demands a
Higher Order of COntests-A Challenge
to JAY Eye See-A Lucky Ease Ball
Manager.
The President of Harvard College, In his
annual report OF the working of the
several departments of the institution,
says in reference to the athletic sports of
the college, that intercollegiate contests
demand further regulations by agreement
between the colleges whose students take
part in them. They are degrading both
to players and to spectators if cOnduc ted
with brutality or in a tricky and jockey
ing spirit, and they become absurd if some
of the competitors employ trainers and
play with professional players, while others
do not. The authorities OF Harvard are IN
favor of fOrbidding college clubs or crews
to employ trainers, to play or row with
professionals or to compete with clubs
or crews who adopt either of these prac-
tees. They are opposed to all money
making at intercollegiate contests. and
to the acceptance of money or gratuitous
service from railroads or hotels, and
therefore to all exhibitions or contests
which are deliberately planned so as to
attract multitude and thereby increase
the gate money. In short, they be-
lieve that college sports should be con-
Quoted as the amusements of amateurs.
and not as the business Of professional
plavers.'
''The football contests,as we'll as most of
the college base ball matches. within the
past three years, have certainly not been
conducted as 'the amusements of anna
tours hut more after the fashion of
those of better class of professionals.
inasmuch as the gate-mOney receipts have
heen almost the primary consideration.
College athletes. rOwers and the ball
players of the cricket. base ball, lacrosse
and foot ball fields should constitute tn"
highest class of the strictly amateur
branch of the sporting fraternity, but at
present there is too much of the semi
! professional business connected with col
lege sports, and the Harvards' President
evidently realizes the important fact.

A Fascinating Rannrt

Important to Mineral Water Drinkers.

What well-informed correspondent
says Of Congress Spring in letter to the
New York Graphic, August 6. 1888:
by the by, the great mineral water
drinking public are hurrying to Stake
their thirst at this fountain not only be-
cause of its efficacy, purity and ackn0wl-
edged sanitary properties, but because of
the reparatIOn of their systems. impaired
by rasping waters, invariably receive. A
few years agO there was a mania for
strong and harsh waters. The injuries
wrought upon their constitution BY this
unnatural indulgence ultimately worked
out II revolution, and now all sensible
people who value health use the milder
and safer waters like those of this cele-
brated spring. In fact, the old Congress
was the "father Of waters" not in volume
like that of the Mississippi, but because
of its paternity, dating back to a period
when Saratoga was primarily recognized
rs n resort, and where the existence of
this mineral spring enhanced the attrac-
ti0ns Of the Spa, just as the waters of the
mineral springs OF France and Germany
have invested Vichy and Ems with
worldwide reputation.
