that makes William such a monumental
"gure In history, and not any great talent of
us c"n; though it must be conceded that
tnrougn his life he has been constant to the
one ldea OF German unity and has shown
the one important talent in ruler-the
capacity to choose the best instruments for
his purpose.
When he was child Germany was pros
trate at the feet Of Bonaparte, and after the
disastrous battle of Jena the Prussian royal
family were fugitives; his mother, Queen
Louise, died political martyr, her last in
junction to her sons being that they should
devote their lives to the restoration of Prus-
sian independence, and through Prussia to the
good OF Germany. In his earliest manhood
he assisted as soldier at the overthrow Of
Bonaparte, and was with the allies in their
hrst triumphant entry into Paris; at the
battle OF Waterloo he was IS years old, and
after it he again entered Paris in triumph.
Fifty five years later he received the surren-
der Of the last Napoleon. EARLY in 1871 he
"aO SAV"Aeu dIu proclaimed emperor OF
united Germany in the ancient palace of the
French kings at Versailles, and on the 7th Of
March that year he started on his return
journey to Berlin, which he had left as king,
and to which he returned as kaiser Seven-
teen years and two days after that he died,
and as his son, the present emperor. cannot

Tt will assist tho mouorv of tho rf,,1or+ -

March 10, 1776, and he March 22, 1797. In
March, 1910, his father, Frederick William III,
called to his bedside his two sons, and made
them join hands with their cousin Nicholas.

friendship between the two dynasties, and
soon after this memorable scene the father

lasted till now, though two of the parties
have long since gone to their graves. In

SURRENDER OF NAPOLEON.
March. 1871, William first entered Berlin as
kaiser; in March, 1888, he passes to eternity,
and the latest opinion Of the physicians is
that the now emperor may not survive the
month.
The imperial, government is now too we'll
established for the emperor's death to en-
danger the succession; but many persons and
new emperor, Frederick, should speedily fol-
low him. First Of those is his wife, Oldest
child of Queen Victoria, always the opponent
of Bismarcks EXTREMIST measures, and con-
sequently detested by him and his party at
the court. She will in any event be empress
dowager and succeed to her proper share of
the crown property. This position is far
more exalted than that of one who should
merely be tho widow of the heir to the
throne. But in the event of Emperor Fred
erick's speedy death land the doctors are as
tonishly successful in keeping this in doubt),
his widow, then queen or empress dowager,
will be placed in most painful relations with
her own son, the present Prince William, who
will then be king and probably emperor, and
who promises to be in perfect accord with
Bismarck, and at even more violent enmity
with the moderate party to which his mother
belongs.
We say ''probably emperor" because tie
theory that the headship Of the German en-
pire is elective is now little more than mere
legal figment. There was a time when every
petty prince of Germany was proud Of his
prerogative as an ''elector of the empire"
and there was some liberty of choice even

Jake Kilrain says he is ready to cover any
money that Sullivan may put up.
Mike Conley has gone to San Francisco in
company with Tommy Warren, the feather
weight, with whom he goes into training for
the McAuliffe fight.
Joe McAuliffe or his friends have at last
decided that it is fitting that the champion
of the Pacific coast should meet Peter Jack
son, and they are now looking about to see
which club will give a purse of $4,000 to see
the fight.
Jack McAuliffe and Billy Dacey have
signed articles to fight to a finish with skin
gloves for 81, 000a side some time in October.
The men will fight at 1873 pounds, to be
weighed twelve hours before entering the
ring.
Ever since Arthur Chambers arrived in
California Harry Maynard, the retired

the medium race once around, and the long
'-cr two or three times around. Distances
vnai rot measured and time was not taken.
Now the races are run under regular rules.
Hurdle racing has changed some. Originally
the hurdles were seven feet high, and a man
could get-oveT them in any way he pleased.
Then they were cut down to five feet and the
racers vaulted over. TIL hurdles used now
are three feet and a half high, and the racer
must jump them all
The most notable feature of Caledonian
games is the all around character of nearly
all the exercises. Every Scotch game brings
the body and limbs into action together.
Strength, agility and kDack are required, and
in order to hold a leading place among Gale
domains a man must be an all around athlete.
In amateur athletics a man usually pays par
ticulor attention to one or two exercises and
becomes a specialist. If he is very good he
may be able to defeat Caledonian athletes
in his speciality. In 1874, at Auburn,
Professor Goldie, who for many years was
Princeton's athletic director, won thirteen
games or events in the Caledonian series, and
won the first prizes. To win the Caledonian
championship he had to run, jump, vault,
throw, put and toss equally well. That is
why the Caledonians produce the majority
of good all around athletes and comparatively
few specialists. The Scotch have always
taken great pride in their strength of body
and limb, and encouraged outdoor sports.
Every village in Scotland has its annual
games, and in this country every town of any
size has its Caledonian club. Every club has
its own games, and once a year there is a
general meeting under the auspices of the
North American United C~aledonians, either
in the United States or Canada, where the
competitions are virtually championship
games. The place of meeting is announced a
year in advance, and the local club manages
the affair and takes the receipts.
The sword dance and the Highland fling are
wholly Scotch, of course, and are interesting
features of the games. In the first, the High
lander, in full costume, dances over and
around two crossed broadswords laid upon
the ground. Certain steps are prescribed,
and he must execute these between the
crossed blades and opposite the points, get
ting as close as he can to the swords without
touching them. If his foot touches a sword
that ends his dance. The man who goes
through the dance most gracefully and per-
fectly and keeps the best time is the winner.
No doubt the wild Highlander danced in his
bare feet over blades turned edge upward
and ran more or less risk of cutting himself
if he proved awkward. Now the blades are
placed fat on the ground. In the Highland
fling grace of movement, accuracy of time
and correctness of step are the essentials.

Talk of n Billiard Tournament.

There is a western project for two tourna.
ments next winter, under the patronage of q
prominent bookmaker. One is TO be held in
this city and the other in Chicago. The
game will be cushion carroms. Private ad-
vices are that it has been quietly settled that
there will be no objection TO the admission
of Eugene Carter, and that thus the feelings
of Jacob Shaefer will escape narrowing.
These are not the tournaments at cushion
carroms heretofore spoken of as in pros
pect for this city and Chicago, although the
promise was made as to the latter that they,
too, would have at least five competitors. 1t
was believed that they were to be insti-
tuted, at least in large part, by the manufac-
turing firm that employs the three of the
players. 1t looks now, judging from the con-
fident utterances that have been heard in st.
Louis and Chicago, as if any games that are
to be played will be under the auspices of a
bookmaker. New York Sporting Times.

Latest Scheme to Increase the Batting.
According to The Sporting Times, Presi-
dent John b. Day will submit at the next
meeting of the joint rules committee a scheme
that is probably the most promising that has
yet been suggested to increase the batting,
or, rather, decrease the chances of the field
ers, The idea is to increase the outfield ter
ritory by the introduction of deeper foul
lines, beginning at the diagonal corners
of the home plate. The field area
will be enlarged in proportion to the
distance reached in the field. Thus, at
the base line, or thirty-fve yards from the
home plate on either side, the increase will be
three feet, or a total of six. AT sixty yards
from the plate the increase will be twelve
feet, and at ninety yards the players will
have eighteen feet more ground to work over.
The idea is to give both the in and out felders
more territory to cover and render the hit
ting, when there is any, more effective by de-
c~reasing the chance OF beating a ball batted
to any position of the field. To players who
have reduced place batting to a science
this innovation will be q boon, inasmuch
as it will enable them to gauge the bail
to q degree of exactness and land
it in any desirable spot. To heavy batsmen
like Roger Conner, Ryan and Brouthers
the increase of field territory will enable
them to send up high fly balls and hot liners
into the field with q greater degree of GER
tainty that the guardians of that territory
cannot cover the extension of ground rapidly
enough to make the capturing of the ball a
surety,

his performances prove his strength and ac-
tivity. He is q years of age, 6 feet u inch
tall and weighs in condition 1855 pounds. His
thighs are unusually large, which accounts
for his great spring in jumping. His reputa-
tion for fast running is as great as that for
his jumping, and he is one of the few who
have an authentic record for running 100
yards under 10 seconds He made his debut
as an athlete eight years ago in New York
city, when he took part in some amateur
games. He ran for about two years as an
amateur with average success, and then
Joined the professional ranks His improve
ment from that time has been great, and he
is classed today among the three fast
est sprinters in America. He has run
100 yards in 945 seconds, $50 yards
yards in 10 seconds and 300 yards in
% seconds. His late achievement at st.
Louis was done in the following manner
The first jump being made from a dead stand
was only 0 feet 5 inches. Then, having i'm
petus, he cleared IL feet 8 inches in each of
his following three jumps, and on the last
one fully extended himself and covered 10
feet. The reason his last jump was the
longest is that he did not have to gather him
self to give another one. Johnson's powerful
arms aid him in this kind of jumping, for
they work in unison with his legs and help
balance his body when giving these great
springs for which he is far famed.

The jealousy between Scotch pipers is
proverbial and phenomenal. All the hostility
between the clans used to be concentrated
and intensified inIthe players of the bagpipes.
A very amusing description of this sort of
thing is given by Stephenson in David Bal
four" in the scene between Alan Brock Stew
art and the MacGregor. Much the same feel
ing exists today between rival pipers. In the
competitions the pipers play on one side of a
partition and the judges listen on the other.

the pipers compete, but make their awards

tons right without trying to kick high. Any
body can run, jump or throw a weight the
first time, but nobody can hitch and kick the
first time. He must learn the trick. The
highest hitch and kick is something over nine
feet, and three or four inches below the high
est plain high kick, such as stage acrobats
perform. In the hitch and kick one must
take care of his balance, for if he kicks a lit
tie too vehemently be can't bring his leg
down in time, and falls on his back, as l have
done more than once.
Most of the other games and fcats seen at
Caledonian meetings are common to all ath-
letic tournaments, and cannot be classed as
Scotch games. Pole yaulting always has
been one Of the Caledonian gunes, and had
its origin in the days when runners were en-
ployed to carry letters and dispatches across
country and used poles inleaping hedges and
bitches, but probably it is not Scotch alone.
Running races are included in the Caledonian
sports, of course. Originally the games
were held ina ring about 100 yards in dia-
i.;etcg. The short race was across the ring.

No men in the world, says a well known
writer IN sports, are more addicted or better
adapted to athletic sports than Scotchmen.
They are a hardy, big boned, muscular race,
and the conditions of life in Scotland, par
ticularly in the highlands, have been always
conducive to the development of a love for
bodily exercise. In the days of border war
fare the H~ighlanders devoted all the time
they could spare from fighting each other to
stealing the cattle from the lowlands, and
the L~owlanders, when not fighting their
~neighbors on the south, had TO sit up nights,
