a competitor on the flying wheel when he
comes on the track on the 18th in the two
mile bicycle handicap. It is quite probable
that he will hustle the riders SO as to retire
with an unbroken record. His rivals in the
race will be Rich, Campbell and Davis. The
entries for the bicycle team race are about
complete, the Berkeley club team being
notably the strongest in the competition.
Harvard and New Jersey will probably have
teams in the race. EX-Champion Rowe is
now training the Berkeley riders.
In the broad jump, Columbia confidently
relies on Victor Mapes to carryoff the Prize.
The tug-of-war teams are not yet quite

Among the hurdlers. Herbert Mapes, of
Columbia, may be classed as A No. l. He
is the present intercollegiate champion and
will enter both hurdle races at the Berkeley
meeting. He jumps the hurdle with knees
bent and drawn, his legs we'll up. His
jump is always a short one and he never
stops running for an instant. Williams
of Yale jumps much higher and does not
draw up his legs SO much as Mapes. He is
much more powerful. however, and accord
ingly places more reliance in his strength.
Deming's style is similar to Williams.

siderably on his great sprinting power and

Vienna Statistics.

The city government of Vienna publishes
annually fat book full of statistics con-
corning about everything in the municipal
ity that can be figured on. The volume for
lsss, which has just appeared, contains 500
pages and few interesting details as to
the life and habits of the Viennese. The
number of houses was increased by $50 to
1921 in 1855, although unusually many
flats and villas on the outskirts were vacant
throughout the year. There were Ii, zoo
legitimate and n,5OO illegitimate births in
the city. In consequence of the raising of the
prices of cigars by the government, l.. 600 O00
fewer were smoked than in 1887. The
yiennese get even with the state, however,
by smoking cigarettes, the consumption of
which was increased by 100000. Two
hundred and ninety-six citizens left the
Roman Catholic church and a67 the Jewish
church. Sixty adopted the Jewish faith
and l30 cut loose from religion altogether.

The annual meeting Of the National
Farmers Alliance convened in Ocala,
Fla, last week. In an interview Pres
ident Polk said:
1T will be the aim Of the National
Alliance at this meeting 10 so direct all
its labors and deliberations that its pol
icy shall be universally recognized as
one of national fraternity and unity.
We. desire 10 make it thoroughly ma
tional in its character. We desire 10
break down sectional lines, We have
had enough Of bloody shirt. We have
had enough Of sectional ani9osity on
both sides Prior TO last December the
alliance was practically unknown north
of the Ohio river, but at the st Louis
convention We made grand break
across Mason and Dixon's line.
I'VE took the farmers and. labOrers
of the north and west by the hand, and
to-day we are all trampling sectionallsm
under our feet"
We believe it is the noble mission OF
the Farmers Alliance to bring this a.
bout. It can compass such a result as
no other organization could. And II
will be glorious day..fOr the country
when united once more in the bonds oi
commen citizenship, with full conf
dence IN the loyalty and integrity Of
ono another. All honor to the farmers
and God speed their mission.
