The number OF the different kinds OF
games, including those for boys,
amounted eventually to no less than
IA. AT Olympia the foot race or sta.
dium-tne race in which CorGbus was
the first victor, at the institution OF
the Festival by King Tphitus-appears
to have been the earliest, and for
some years to have continued to be
the only contest. From it and from
its victor was derived the Greek com
putation of time, in quadriennial
periods called 0lympiaas, and mar
Vicious to say it continued to form
the basis OF the National Calendar
till AID. 1894, the sixteenth year Of
the Roman Emperor T~heodosius,
that is for nearly 1000 years; and
during all that length OF time not
only were the games regularly kept up,
but the successful competitor con
tinued to give his name TO the quad
riennial. Moreover, the foot race
supplied to Greece not only the meas
ure OF time, but the measure OF space.
The course called stadium was equal
to the eighth of a mile, and all dist an
ces among the Greeks were measured
by stadia, as they are now measured
by miles.
But if the foot race at Olympia was
the earliest Of the sports and in one
respect at least was attended with
the greatest fame, there a be little
doubt that the chariot race was, upon
the whole, the most attractive and
the most exciting, and, on some occa-
sions, exciting to a very painful de-
gree. For instance, we learn from the
Fifth Pythian Ode, written in honos
OF the chariot victory of Arcesilaus
King OF Cyrene in Africa, that not
fewer than 40 chariots engaged in the
contest came to grief. 1t appears,
also, from the same and other Cdes,
that the owner of the equipage, who
was very rarely his own charioteer,
carried off much the greater share if
not the whole of the glory of success,
though his sole merit consisted, like
the merit OF our mobiles and lairds
upon the turf, in bearing all the ex-
penses connected with the race, in the
encouragement which he gave to the
sport, and in the honor which by his
victory he won for his city or native
land. No builder OF a chariot is men

An ancient Underground enamel.

An interesting discovery has been made
In an old Spanish mine of the property Of
the Corralitos cattle and mining company,
on the Casca Grande river In northern
Chihuahua, an immense estate belonging
to Ell Paso and New York parties. The
mine is called the San Pedro, and there
is en- it an old incline going into the noun
tain at an angle OF forty-6ye degrees. and
evidently following the richest ore streak
In a zig rag manner. At the end of this
inclinea subterranean chamber was found,
which had been fashioned evidently with
great labor and trouble into a regular
Catholic chapel. The chamber is some
thirty feet high. Serts have been cut
from the solid rock running all around
the chapel. and so have an altar and a
pulpit. The whole was found neatly
whitewashed, and presented a pecpliar
and wierd aspect. The ancient chapel
could be used at a moments notice as a
place of worship.
The whole country adjacent to the Casa
Grande and Santa Maria rivers is full of
objects OF interest 10 the arch Iologist and

every where, many of them clearly tracea-
lie to the Aztecs, but others evidently
