GEORGE Y. GILBERT.

He Is One of the FASTEST Men Now In
America
George Y. Gylbert, of the New York Ath-
lctic club, might very properly be spoken of
rs a fast young man. In fact, he could be
referred to with perfect accuracy as one Of
the most rapid chaps in the country. If you
don't believe It, study the following record of
his achievement and be convinced.
Mr.. Gylbert has been prominently before
the public as n runner for about five years,
his first noteworthy success being In connec-
ton with the games of the E~nglewood Ath-
lotto club, when he finished second In the half
mile run ut scratch and In the go yards run.
A few months Inter he won the milo run at
the same clubs games from the Is yards mark,
in Am 62Hs On Oct. 4, ut the games of the
New York Athletic club, he won the mile run
handicap from tho 40 yards mark, In Am.
81 25s
Early in 1885 he made n five mile record of
2lm- 2s., and followed 1t by running a mile
on Staten Island from the fifty yard mark In
Am. 80 2-5s. II was on June 0 that he dis
tinguished himself and placed his name on
the record books Us a champion Of America.
The National Amateur Athletic association

unlShlnB In an
a5Hs He ran mnny moro races during tho
year with varying success, generally making
very good time.
His first victory In 1880 was a mile run In
New York, which no mnde In Am. 30Izs.
Lhter In the season he won n quarter milo
obstacle race in Pm. PINS. 1t the gnmes of
tho T~wenty-third regiment no ran n mile on
a board floor In Am. 5lJfs., n truly remark
able performance.
At Paterson, N. J., on June 10, 1887, he
won a 8 mile run from scratch In 30m. les.
The same month he ran a great half mile
race, winning from the 40 yards mark In 1m.
Dos. Aug. 10, at CALIFORNIAN park, Jersey
City, he won the scratch half mile run In 2m.
ss, and got third place in the 8 mile run.
Sept. | he won tho mile run ut the Caledonian
games; time, Am. AS. At the Staten Island
Athletic clubs games, Sept. 5, he won the
mile run in Am. 90 2-5s. from tho 40 yards
handicap.
AT tho championship meeting the same
year he ran second to E.. c. Carter In the
one mile run, his time being Am. IS LIS. In
October he visited Wilmington, Del, and at
the games of tho Warren Athletic club won
the mile run from the scratch, In Am. 3G.
Oct 10 no was beaten a foot for the hand

members of the New York athletic club. c.

The national cross country championship
was held on election day same year, and CYL
bert ran one Of the best races OF his life
across country, finishing second to e. G. Car
ter. Gylbert's timo was 85m. 91Ss About
this time he becamea member of the Seventh
regiment and competed at their games, Dec.
8. The events were all scratch, and he dis
tinguished himself by finishing first In the
40 yards run, time 5225s.; 1000 yards run,
time 3m. 4Os mile run, time Am 5a Be
side the victories above mentioned he en-
tered in many minor events, never once fail
ing to make good time,
His first appearance In 1888 wns at tho
games of the Twelfth Regiment Athletic as
ISOLATION, finishing third from scratch In a
mile, In Am, 42s. This Is the fastest time ever
made on a board floor. At the spring games
Of the Seventh regiment he finished first In q
1000 yards run, making a best on record, and
also won the mile run in an. 5ls., making an
other regimental record. He was a member
Of the Suburban Harriers that won the team
championship, Gylbert being the third man
homo. His time was 45m- los. In the race
for the Fitzpatrick cup he finished third,
beating E. C.. Carter some IS seconds.
At the Staten Island games he made a mag
nificent performance by winning the mile
run from scratch In am 81 l-5s., which
stands today as fastest time ever made by an
American, l. E Myers barred. AT the
games of tho New York Athletic club, ut tho
Polo grounds, he ran E. C. Carter a hard
race in the mile and was only beaten a foot
In Am. 81 Pos He competed In tho Canadian
championship meeting and finished third to
Connect and Gibbs.
Gylbert has won eighty-six prizes since he
rnn his first public raco, and his prospects
for good work this SEASON seem To be better
thnn ever.

the inability of our American impresario to
fulfil his engagement 1t wns my own and
wifc's dream to establish an English opera

three years our novel experiment WINS singu-

It's height and spent four days with
Brigham Young at tho Salt Lake. The 500
sons of 1871 and 1872 were very exciting ones
In tho States. Nilsson WINS there with an
Italian opera company; there was also a con-
cert combination formed by Santley, Cum
mings, Mime. Patey and Miss Wynne, and /
had organized n very strong company for
English opera. Just as the contest WINS on
the point of commencing Wnchtel, the great
German tenor, unexpectedly arrived, and 1t
became a matter of supreme Importance to
secure his services. | persuaded him to Sign
an agreement two hours after he landed, and
met Mr.. Strakosch, Nelson's agent, coming

AS Wachtel could neither sing In English

Maj. Il. E. Alvord, director of tho Mary
land Experiment station, says: For the great
est quantity of fodder, green or dry, corn
should be grown in drills far enough apart
to permit easy and sufficient cultivation, the
space between rows to be governed somewhat
by the size of varieties grown, and the plants
to be thin enough In tho drills to give ample
air and light to assure maturity. For corn
Of the larger varieties the nearest definite
rule that can DO safely given is to plant the
