connection. Harvard and New Jersey
will probably have teams in the race. EX-
champion Rowe is now training the BerKe-
ley riders.
In the broad Jump, Columbia confidently
relies on Victor Mapes to carry OIL the
prize The tug-of-war teams are not yet
quite filled.
Meanwhile little else is talked of among
college men and amateur athletes than the
coming meeting. OF course, the merits ana
STYLE of the different performers are varl-
ouslv discussed. If you happen to meet a
freshman or a sophomore, his talk is all OF
stride. and pace, and stride and sprint The
style and method of the different contest
ants vary. each one exhibiting u certain
individuality. Cary, Princeton's great
Splinter. draws his legs well up when
sprinting and uses all his muscles. He has
lots of dash, too, which makes him favor
tie with the onlookers. Sheriff., of Yale,
on the other hand. has much more grace
full stride. and Shipman, of Columbia, is
noted for his even, graceful movement
Green. the Harvard man is strong fellow
and relies mainly on his muscles TO carry
him through. He is good man for nifty
yards-as hot as possible-but after That
the high pace materially effects him.
There is no more powerful physique than

ton, but his long strides cannot be SAID 10
be graceful. Downes, of Harvard, resem-
bles him in almost every particular, and IS
very strong quarter and half-mile runner
Willie Day, the fleet-foOted New Jersey
boy. is only 10 years old, and slender as a
girl. His motions are almost poetic in their
gracefulness. and he has pretty, smooth,
even stride. that never seems to tire him.
A. B. George, who is brother OF the
famous English runner, holding the one
mile professional record, is man OF fine
build, and has 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 No. |. he
is the present Intercollegiate Champion
and will enter both hurdle races at the
Berkeley Meeting. He jumps the hurdle
with knees bent and draws his legs well
I'D. 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 much as
Mapes. He is much more powerful, how
ever, and accordingly places more reliance
in his strength Demings style is similar
to Williams's. Copeland of the Manhat-
tans, relies considerably on his great sprint
ing power and spring, rather than on scien-
tific 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 Jor-
dan. the record holder.

In the hurdle race, Mapes of Columbia,
and Copeland, Schwegler, Puffer, Young
and Devereux of the Manhattan Athletic
Association will be the principal contest
ants in the hurdle races. The Columbia
College boys are watching the event with
deep interest, and are hoping to see Mapes,
their champion, come in ahead. Should he
win, it will send his stock away up as a
competitor in the intercollegiate on the 3lst.
Puffer has Won the indoor high hurdle
championship. and there are some who
think he will repeat his victory Copeland
is anxious TO beat Schwegler, who outran
him at Travers' Island last fall
Willie Windle, the champion twO-mile
bicyclist, will make his last appearance as
a competitor on his flying wheel when he
comes on the track on the 18th III the two
mile bicycle handicap II is quite proba-
bic that he will hustle the riders so as to re-
tire with an unbro5en record. His rivals

ON ARRAN CLIFFS.
THRILLING ADVENTURE IN A LONELY ISLAND
WALK.
Phiind1Inhin Iimfs.


The cliffs OF Arran are the most stu
pendous of nature. They skirt the west
ern edge of Innishmore, the largest Of the
three Arran islands, and face nine miles
of water front. They present a rocky
barrier To the waves which roll with
out obstruction across nearly 5000 miles
OF the Atlantic ocean from the shores
of America. In some places these beet
ling cliffs tower $50 feet above the level
of the sea. In westerly storms waves
are hurled against them sometimes to
the height Of 200 feet. To watch these
massive waves roll i'm and break against
this barrier is an awful sight. The
thunder of those mighty Surges makes
the heart quake.
At a spot near the southern extremity
of the island the water in the course of
ages has worn several holes in the rock
to a distance of nearly POO feet from the
face of the cliff At the extremity OF
these horizontal shafts the constant at
triton Of the water has forced passage
to the top of the cliff at right angles to
the lower passage. One of these Verti-
cal shafts is about 20 feet in diameter.
1t is called by the natives of Arran by
the Gaelic name AGlaSSenrock," "hole."
When the wind is unleaShed torrents of
water are forced in the lower channel
and up through the vertical shaft. The
water shoots upward to the height of 100
feet. There are many artificial fOun-
tains in the world, but none to compare
with this. natures own. This tremend-
Gus column of water is about 20 feet in
diameter. The discharge is accom-
panied by a hollow, booming sound.
When the force of the water is eXpcnd-
ed the top of the fountain bursts into
millions of drops, which glistcn like in
Vulnerable diamonds bathed in mist and
sunlight.

There is probably an interval Of two
minutes between each jet. The rocks
for half mile around are drenched
with brine. 1t is only when the west
wind is piping gale that these mighty
fountains are in play. When the At
lantic liners are burying their iron
noses in the yeast and smother of 81
gantic seas rs they force their way to-
ward the setting sun the Arran foun-
tainS are leaping toward the sky. And
great sport does old ocean have with the
limestone rock when the human eye
looks ON. For in those lonely isles
natives are accustomed to such sights;
they barely turn their heads to look at
them. As for the tourist the way TO
the cliff is so tolsome that few persons
have the courage to attempt the
Journey. There is no path leading to
the cliffs: the way is barred every 80 feet
by stone walls five feet high, built to
protect cattle from the weather.

Outside the walls. and as If placed
there TO protect the fortress from
invasion. is a rude chcvauX de frieSe.
This is formed of stones as large as
those usually used for curbStoneS in
America. One end of these stones is
sharpened like a lead-pcncil point, and
the other end is driven into the ground,
so that the stones lean outward at a
sharp angle. The stone are placed so
close together that ii would be impos-
Sblc for horse or a man to SurmOunt
them Some Of these fortrcsSeS have
been partially destroyed by the Ar
ranerS i'm search OF rabbits which had
hidden between the stones. Within the
past two years, however. an arch9olog-
zeal society has repaired the wall, and
now they stand in exactly the same con-
dition in which they stood nobody
knows how long ago.
But TO return TO the cliffs. Within
one mile of the southern extremity of
lnnniShmore an enormous mass of rock
has become detached from the main
cliffs by the continuous action of water
upon limestone. This rock is isolated
by a assure from two to four feet in
width. The detached rock resembles
one of the towers Of the Brooklyn
bridge in shape. although it is twice as
bulky and good deal higher than one Of
the shoulders of the great American
architectural wonder. just here is a
secret path known only to the Isl

low can be reached. During the past win

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 16.-At high noon
st. Paul's cathedral was the scene of beau.
tiful wedding, when the Rt. Rev. Arthur
Cleveland Coke united in marriage Edward
Oliver Wolcott, senator of Colorado, and
Mrs. Frances Metcalfe Bass, daughter of the
late James H. Metcalfe. As the choir boys
chanting the professional turned into the
center aisle, they were followed by the ushers,
the bride coming last, with her son, Lyman
Metcalfe Bass. The best man was Mr.. Henry
R. Wolcott.
The bridale robe was one of Worth's crea-
tons, white satin brocaded in roses forming
the train. which opened over petticoat of
plain white satin banded with fringes of
crystal and silver. The slightly pointed
bodice with its Medci collar of point lace
and full front of silk. was finished with a
cIncture of white and silver, below which fell
the null cash softly turned into a true love
knot The tOcque was of null with a wreath
of white ostrich tips fastened by knot of
diamonds, while at her throat sparkled tho
groom's gift, superb pendant of diamonds,
formed OF a large stone surrounded by
smaller ones. The flowers carried were a
cluster of La France roses. After the cere-
mony a breakfast was served at the residence
of Mrs. James Fl. Metcalfe, on North street.
At O'Clock Senator and Mrs. Wolcott left
for New York in special car, the interior of
which was filled with flowers.

Kansas Still Ahead.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Farmers Review
prints the following: The report from cor
respondents in the thirteen states covered by
our crop bulletin indicate that the general
condition of winter wheat in this territory is
20 per cent. lower. and of spring wheat 10
per cent. lower, than the usual average of
condition at this season. Relative to winter
wheat, Wisconsin and Kansas reports show
some improvement in condition since April
so. In Kansas this is due to the prevailing
drouth having been broken by local showers
in many parts of the state. In Wisconsin,
on the other hand, tine previous excess of
moisture has dried out to some extent, and
conditions have become more favorable to its
growth. In Michigan and Ohio the condi-
ton of wheat has not changed since our last
report. A few correspondents in Missouri
report improvement in the condition of
wheat, but the general average for the state
indicates marked decline during the past
ten days.
Illinois. Indiana and Kentucky reports also
show decline, caused principally by cold
weather and an excess of moisture. Reports
from the leading spring wheat states contain
many complaints of drouth. which has greatly
retarded the termination and growth of grain
Sown this spring. According to signal ser
vice reports, northern Minnesota and North
Dakota have not received one-half their usual
rainfall, and central Iowa, northwestern Mis-
souri, and northwestern Nebraska have re-
ceived only about 20 per cent. of their nor
nal rainfall. For this reason the condition
is considerably below the average. We sum-
marie as follows: Reports of correspond
ents relative to the condition of wheat:
Winter wheat-Illinois Il per cent, Indiana
4, Ohio 50. Kentucky IS. Missouri 791@,
Kansas 90, Michigan -. and Wisconsin 79.
Spring wheat-Illinois 81 per cent, Wiscon-
sin 81, Iowa 81, Nebraska 90. Minnesota 50,
South Dakota SO, and North Dakota 81.

All Sorts Of State MeetInoe

TOPEKA. KAN, May 16.-Following the
many state gatherings which have occurred
In Topeka during the past few weeks, nota-
bly, and important among them being the
state raily for temperance, now in session
here, next week brings the appointed dates
for several important gatherings, bringing
together representative men and women
from ali sections of the state.
FIRST OF all comes the annual meeting of
the Kansas grand lodge, Knights of Pythias,
and the Kansas brigade, Uniform Rank. 1t is
estimated by the officers of these two orders,
who are IN the best position to know whereof
they speak, that there will be an attendance
OF from 1900 to 5000 knights and sir knights,
to say nothing of their friends and the visi-
tors who would naturally be attracted by
such gathering.
Ihere will be on Tuesday the Grand Army
meeting with various other state bodies, to
take steps for securing for Topeka in 1892,
the national encampment of the G. A. r.
lhls Will draw hundreds of interested per-
sons to this city, aside from all other attrac-
tions.
On Wednesday, May p, the state drug
glSts' convention will meet here, and, on the
same day, the Kansas grand lodge, Degree of
Honor, A. o. U. w.
On Friday, May %, the resubmission con-
ventlon will be held, when delegations will
come to confer with Governor Humphrey on
the subject of special session of the legis-
lature.
