TAKING NEW YoRK's PLACE
would like to devote chapter to the
Marie Bashkirtseffs of Washington, young
women with great talent and consuming
ambition, wholly absorbed in art, morbid
ana despairing because they cannot repro
duce on canvas he magnificent creatures Of
their imagination. But | must be content
with having merely suggested the vast
amount OF art work accomplished here in
the studios, the Corcoran school and the
art league and the recognition here and
elsewhere of Washington artists. The art
spirit, the asthetical enthusiasm, localized,
lndividualized and distinctive, is rapidly
growing. The artists are independent and
progressive. They are. coming closer to-
getheF and reaching outT obtrusively to
wresb from New York its position as the
al DiOcI VI lu6 name anu lOTUuueS TO STedU
extent of the artists of the country.
few years more and the chief exhibi-
lions of American artists will be held in
Washington, where they ought to be, and it
will be found that when once the art spirit
is awakened the capital will not only
possess the most critical, but the most lucra-
tive patronage, for here congregate for the
major part of the year the largest number
of those who will naturally become the
readiest and most liberal buyers of art

Shell Mounds of Florida.

Col Joseph Wilcox, one Of the managers
of the Archaeological Museum of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, recently gave a
short account of his explorations in the
Florida shell heaps. He said he had never
Travelled IN any part of the United States
that presented so many remains of the for
mer race as Florida. The mounds were of
two classes. Along the coast and the banks
of the rivers they were composed of shells,
while those away from the rivers and the sea
are made of sand. These mounds are of
prodigious size, some of the largest being
twenty to thirty acres in extent, and twenty
to forty feet in hight. The shell mounds
are composed almost exclusively of oyster
shells, large conch, which was evidently
eaten, being the text most plentiful Many
of the latter have a hole broken in the top,
through which it is probable the animal
was drawn. The shells in one of the
mounds he examined varied from those of
the present day, partaking of the character
of those of the pllocele fossils, and indica @
that the mound was made very long time
ago. He exhibited a collection of objects
from Florida, including two gold beads and
a superb fragment OF pottery that
was thought to be of Georgia manufacture
In commenting upon this piece, which he
presented to the museum, he said thai the
Greek fret, the scroll work and many forms
of classical decoration are to be discovered
on the American pottery, and if we want to
study the beginning of classic art. we
should study the aboriginal art of America,
an art that was nipped in the bud by the
terrible Spanish invasion.
The museum, although only organized
last year. is so well cared for by its friends
that its collection is now second to none in
the country.

There is no more powerful physique than
that of Dohm, the young wonder of Prince
ton, but his long strides cannot be said to
be graceful Downes of Harvard resembles
him in almost every particular, and is a very
strong quarter and half-mile runner. Willie
Day, the fleet-footed New Jersey boy, is
only 19years old and as slender as a girl.
His motions are almost poetic in their grace
fulness, and he has a pretty, smooth, even
stride, that never seems TO tire him. A. b.
George, who is a brother of the famous En-
glish runner holding the one mile profess
sional record is man of fine build and has
a good long stride, running very evenly and
leaning a little forward. He is likely to
give his opponents stiff brush for the
lead.
Among the hurdlers, Herbert Mapes of
Columbia may be classed as A No. l. He
is the present intercollegiate champion, and
VIII enter both hurdle races at the Berkeley
meeting. He jumps the hurdle with knees
bent and draws his legs well up His jump
is always short one, and he never stops
running for an instant. Williams of Yale
jumps much higher and does not draw up
his legs SO mucn as Mapes. He is much
more powerful, however, and accord
lngly places more reliance in his strength.
Dening's style is similar to Williams. Cope
land of the Manhattans relies considerably
on his great sprinting power and spring
rather than on scientific hurdling. He
jumps high and with straight legs.
Schwegler is noted for his strength, but not
for his gracefulness. He runs with bent
knees after the style of Jordan, the record
holdar

Meanwhile little else is talked of among
college men and amateur athletes than the
coming meeting. OF course the merits
and style Of the different performers are
variously discussed. II you happen TO meet
freshmen or sophomore. his talk is ell of
stride and pace and dash and sprint The
style and method of the different contest
ants vary. each one exhibiting a certain
individuality. Cary, Princeton's great
srrinter draws his legs well up when sprint
ing, and uses all his muscles. He has lots
of dash, too, which makes him a favorite
with the onlookers. Sheriff. of Yale, on
the other hand, has a much more graceful
stride, and Shipman of Columbia is noted
for his even, graceful movement. Green,
the Harvard man, is a strong fellow and
relies mainly on his muscles to carry him
through. He is a good man for fifty yards
as hot as possihle-but after that the high
pace materially affects him.

GRACE SHANNON UP A TREE.
An Awkward Mishap to a Young
Woman in Memphis.
From the Memphis avalanche

From the Memphis AUdIanche.
Miss Grace Shannon made another bal
loon ascension and parachute jump at East
End park yesterday afternoon.
The attendance, though not so large as on
the previous Sunday, was still very fine.
The breeze was so gentle that when the guys
were cut the mammoth balloon shot into
space almost directly above the starting
point, but drifted gently away to the south
when caught by the upper current.
The nervy little aeronaut made the Jump
from an altitude of about 200 feet, and she
had thrilling adventure. The parachute
refused to open, and she shot through space
like the flight Of light for distance OF more
than 800 feet. Suddenly the white folds of
the parachute began TO open and fill, and the
descent was so abruptly checked that for a
moment it stood like bird poised in midair.
Then the descent was gradual and beauti-
full until it was plain to be seen that the
plucky little woman was doomed to drop in
the topmost branches of q tall poplar tree
inside the park grounds and not more than
300 yards from where the start was made.
She saw and understood her perilous situa-
ton and kicked manfully in her efforts to
divert the course of the parachute in order

NEW YORK, May 10.-College athletes
all over the country are looking forward
with a great deal of interest to the most
notable athletic event of the year, which
ia kes place in this city on May II. On that
ds.y all the crack athletes of the Intercolle-
giate Association and those who have dis
tinguished themselves in the amateur ath-
letic unions will struggle for the supremacy
at the first annual spring meeting on the
Berkeley Oval, above High Bridge, on the
Harlem river. Great records will probably
be made, as the contestants have in view
the intercollegiate meeting on May 81. In
yitations have been sent by the Berkeley
Athletic Club to all the champions in
the different games. and it is stated that
the replies. especially from the col

to be one of the most interesting in the
history Of non-professional sports in this
country. The fact that. at the intercolle-
giate meeting in May. 1889, eight records

Oval have been improved greatly, and the
track is now said by competent judges to be
the fastest ever laid in this country, both as
to its shape and bed.
The college youth of twenty years ago
was exceedingly limited in the range of his
athletic accomplishments, compared with
tie brawny young Hercules who is the
typical representative of our academic
athletics to-day. Then it was chiefly foot
ball and leap frog, with possibly squirt at
base bali, which was coming into vogue

MS A few men no longer monopolize the
athletic hoaors at each college, for now

Harvard. Amherst, Yale. Columbia, Union,

their own peculiar line of athletic sport,
and who could probably hold their own
with the best professionals anywhere.
