Cost Of College Athletics.

S4 4SOleyo aLnletlcS COST more IMAM is
generally supposed. Harvard and,
ale have the heaviest boating ex-.
penses, Columbia coming next. The
paper shells in which the races are
rowed cost from $500 to 5000. Train
ers and 'tcoaches'' must be hired and
eating-tables provided at which the
diet of the crews \. may be closely
watched. The crews eat at training ia
bles from Easter up to the race in
June, at a cost of about 500 per man.
After they have been coached and
trained for three months they are
sent to New London, Conn.,, where
the races are rowed on the Thames,
Here they are kept at the respective
boat houses under the strictest train
ing, They are coached daily from
the steamlaunches which accompany
them. Yale owns q steam launch,
and the cost is reduced to $12 daily
for coal and service. The other col
leges hire launches, and the cost is
increased. All the crews are uniform
ed alta cost of $15 to 800 per man.
Yale presents its crow with white fan
mel suits besides the regular uniform
at an expense of 5000. Harvard's ex-
penses IN this line is larger. The total
cost of the New London race for Har-
ward, Yale, or Columbia is about 81
600. The Hazard freshmen pay $4,000
yearly for the luxury of defeating the
Columbia freshmen, A class regatta
at Harvard or Yale costs about $3.50
for each crew, not counting cost Of
she'll. Glass shells cost $500. oars $75.
Each class uses two shells in its course.
Barees for practice and rough rowing
cost 5000. s8.E".r 25s1#as. @E$@
Baseball costs less than rowing, and
can count somewhat on gate receipts.
Williams and Amherst will pay 81, 200
each for their respective mines this
year; Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
from $1,000 to $780,. Yale employs
Jones, formerly Of the Athletics, to
coach it's nine; Princeton and Brown
also. have professional coaches. In
track athletics the principal cost is for
trainers and grounds. All the col
leges which compete in the iEtercolle-
giate games at Mott Haven employ
professional athletes as trainers. These
men are paid from 5000 to- $500 for
the season. In the larger colleges
atnleLlc GROUNDS are PROVIDED Dy glItS
of the 5alumni,s as in the case of
Holmes field, at Harvard, and Yale's
new park, which, with its track and
grand-stand, cost about $4,000. as< y
Football has lately become self
supporting at most of the larger col.
leges. Tennis at Harvard this year
will cost $4,000, at Y ule $1,000. Rent
ing courts aud keeping them in order
is what makes the expense. A fresh
man class at Harvard pays $4,000. for
its crew of eleven, nine, lacrosse team
and tug-of- war; At Y ale and Columbia
the corresponding expense is sope-
what less. Travelling expenses, hotel
bills (only the best botels), trophies
for the victors, ETC., make a further
demand on the students pocket-book.
All these expenses are betrayed by
voluntary subscriptions of students
and alumni. nh Cincinnati Times Star 'a,

a Talk With Bismarck.

From the St. Jamess { lzette ly r
Count Bella Szechenyi recently had
an interview with Prince Bismarck con-
tanning certain disclosures of q suffi-
GENTLY remarkable character: $s4S I
/. Referring to the International situa-
tion at the present moment, Prince
Bismarck, if his interview is to be be-
.lieved, took credit to himself for all the
nav departures recently witnessed in
the policy of the chief Cabinets of
Europe. Everything, he gave his Hum
garian visitor to understand, was really
due to his instigation, to his diplomacy,
or else to his intrigue. GAS for France"
said the Chancellor, Il have contrived
to get her we'll occupied ont in China.
Then, as regards the supremacy of
Britain in maritime and colonial affairs,
I and engaged in the task of counter
balancing or neutralizing it," Turning
to Germany's allies, Prince Bismarck
proceeded: IF Russia desires to take
Armenia or Afgbanistan, she will not
have to langu,sh for them long in vain.
And then, with reference to Austria and
Hungary the policy of the dual empire,
he said, us of course ultimately to an.
mex Syria" And the chancellor was
good enough to hint that he would take
care that any little wish Austria might
cherish in that direction might be graf
fled. Count Szechneyi, however told
his German host that Hungary was OPP
posed to any active colonial policy.
s""There, said the chancellor, the Hun,
garians are greatly to blame. They are
foolishly spending enormous sums on:
their one port at Fiume, instead Of
which they should seek to enrich them
selves in settlements abroad. Upon
Count Szecheneyi intimating that the
sHungarians disliked The policy Of: the.
German Kulturkampf, the princeare--;
remarked: That is policy which Z
cannot abandon. To give it up would
enable Austria to regain her predomi-.
nance ct the petty courts Of Germany.
However, I am not opposed in principle,

Grant as q Smoker. {

The cancer of the throat which is
slowly but surely eating away the life
of Gen. Grant, has by some medical
authorities been attributed to the in
veterate smokins for which the hero
OF Appomattox is noted Others again
ridicule the theory. The subject is
cussion in the medical Journals.
In the popular imagination Gen.
Grant has always been associated with
q cigar. He has been called the great
est smoker in the world. It is a mark.
ed peculiarly of the man. When at
The Hague, on his tour around the
world. at the dinner rendered in honor.
by the Dutch King, cigars were either.
omitted in the menu, or perhaps it
was thought dissourteous to smoke in
the presence az roy atty. When Gen.
Grant was, therefore, observed to take
q cigar from. his pocket and conlplac-
entity light Tin the presence of the
King, theirs wasia murnur Of surprise.
'"But, then, sit was said, he is q
great mana very great man. z In
the simplicity Of the Dutch Courtsit was
thought probably that none but the
| very great would dare to smoke on
such an occasion. It is generally be-
lieved that Gen. Grant has been an In
cessant smoker ever since his boyhood.
1t may be news to many to learn that
! it is only since the famous battle Of
Shiloh that the General became SO fond
/ Of the weed. A Commercial Gazette
reporter, in conversation with an In,
innate Cincinnati friend Of Grant. was
told the story Of the edgar. J"
The General, in peaking to his Gin

he was lifelong smoker, said ti1a 1

interment, buries a dagger in the heart
OF the dead TO assure himself Of no re-
awakening. The dagger used is one
sacred to the purpose, and has been
devoted to its use for many generations.
The custom originated because Of the

Severe Upon the Ogden Gamblers.

The new ordinance passed by the Og-
den City Council to prohibit the gambling
practice is severe one in all respects.
1t provides that playing in a gambling
house at either dice, faro, roulette, keno

the keeper of the house and the player
to fine of $500 or Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding six months, or both fine and i'm
prisonment. The ordinance also pro-
vides that any police officer of the city
may enter any house or place suspected
OF harborlng such practices, with or with
ont warrant, and to seize all instruments
or devises there found used for the pur-
poses of gambling, and arrest any per
sons having charge of such house or place.
and all others there found engaged in
playing at any game for money or other
property.

A Runaway.

What came near being a serious acct
dent happened yesterday afternoon. DIR.
White and wife were out driving in a
buggy, and were just coming down the
NIL north Of Main street, when the bride
broke. The Doctor got out to fix it, but
before he could reach the head of the
horse the animal became frightened and
dashed down the hill at full speed. See
ing the dangerous position in which this
placed Mrs. White, the Doctor called for
her to Jump out. This she did, and was
fortunate to escape with few bruises and
a slight shock from what might have
otherwise resulted in serious injury. The
morse was stopped with some difficulty.
but without any further damage being
