COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

The annual sports of The college ath-
fletic association drew to the fair ground
a large crowd on the afternoon of Friday
last. The weather was all that could be
desired, but the rains of few days pre-
vious had softened up the track to such
an extent as to render the making of ex-
ceptional records impossible. Prizes for
the successful ones were put up by the
merchants, Bond Bros, Mr.. Marshall,
Mr.. Young, DIR. Sheldon, Hasseltine &
Co., c. w. Earl and others. They were
awarded as follows: L. II. Ross, 80, who
won in five contests and broke four rec
ords; Daniel G. Reilly, 81, who won
the mile and half mile races; Frank w.
Thomas, '93, who won the 800 and The
100 yards dashes; Ed. II. Sturtevant, %,
who won the broad jump, making 8 feet
Ga inches; p. G. Ross, '93, who won The
pole vault and running high jump; Harry
f. Owen, 80, for throwing the ball and
X. b. Flagg, who won the quarter nile
race.
Saturday evening the college boys had
banquet at The Addison. 1t was served
in Landlord Higgins best style and that
it met the requirements of the occasion
goes without saying. After the inner
man had been satisfied, POSTMASTER B.
w. Sherman proposed sentiments, which
were spoken to as follows: 1.-The Ath-
letic association A. A. Lavery, 80

Sensational Smuggling Case.

New YORK, April 5.-The Times,
this morning says: One of the most
extraordinary cases of smuggling and
fraud in the custom house known in
this country, became public through
the customs authorities in the city
yesterday afternoon. Ailard & Sons, a
large Partisan firm, dealing in an
riques, furniture, rare tapestries,
paintings and bric-a-brac, have
an establishment at 304 Fifth avenue.
For period extending over at least
seven years, this house has engaged
in the most bare-faced acts of snug
Cling. The exposure was made by a
man named A, l.. Blossier, who was
formerly agent of the firm here; but
who was discharged last February.
Yesterday heavy seizures of struggled
goods were made, and the revelations
so far made, puts the sum the govern
ment has been defrauded of at $50, 900,
and it is thought the amount
will reach quarter of million
Many of the wealthiest people in the
country have purchased costly goods
from this firm, including the Wander
derbilts, Orme, Wilson, H. Mackay,
Twombley, Robert Garrett and VIM.
Borden of Chicago. No arr ests have
yet been made, as the members of the
firm are in Paris and their present
agent here, Paul Roulz, has practical
ly confessed the firms guilt, and will
be used by the government. There is
no evidence that the parties named as
purchasers of these goods, knew they
were Struggled.

in receipt of kilograms daily, to hire
horses, have them saddled and a bril-
gade to be in waiting on arrival of

cent in the morning, drift in midair
until noon, and descend hours in ad-
vance of the teams and speedy horses.
