Inc scale OF Improvement in the above

asst year Mitchell won with III feet ~
ches, but it was rainy day, and slip
ny turf made good throwing impossible,
oh man falling behind his record. Nit
hell has since then created worlds re-

feet. case of wonderful throwing is
at of Condor, whose throw of III feet 915
ches with one hand is the worlds record
that style with 16-pound hammer.
Mr.. William b. Curtis, who won MANY of
e old championships, attributes the aston
hing improvements in hammer throwing
great measure to the change in the
les. I'm my time" the veteran said, ''the
plement was but three feet six inches

teen pounds. Nowadays tho hammer is
pr teet long and the entire outfit weighs
t sixteen pounds. We had to throw from
btandstill, while these latter-day athletes

Eich would hardly explain the discrepancy
tween the throwing of dozen years ago

ind weight is also quite pronounced
g champion hammer thrower of 1889
Pld probably give the champion of a
zen years ago forty feet handicap and a
Pting, while the champion weight thrower
1889 could give his predecessor about
EN- feet, which is almost as great beat
in proportion to the weight, as the
INNER. The great Mitchell holds the
ord of this game also-3O feet l inch
hough Condor beat him at the last cham
nship meeting with q feet 81 inches.
this the style has not changed materially,
only advantage being that the athlete

en-foot circle, whereas formerly he was
(iined to standing still while delivering
weight. The list of championships is

A Gain OF korty-Nine Feet, Partly Due to

Great Celtic Thrower.

We are sporting nation in all that the
term implies, and therefore it is not sur
prising that sports and pastimes of all kinds
have kept in step with the progressive spirit
of the day in more or less marked degree.
Base ball, football. cricket, lacrosse and
billiards are played great deal more ex-
pertly, our boxers and pueilists are far more
scientific, the oarsmen and yachtsmen skim
over the water in improved boats, and run
ming and trotting horses keep chopping
down the records. The athletes walk, run,
skate and swim faster, jump higher, as we'll
rs further, and throw the respective weights
greater distances. A similar improvement
is discerned in bowling and minor spo. ts.
The excellence attained by the weight
throwing athletes is the most remarkable Of
Ill the improvements. In this the advance
nent during the last dozen years may be
,ermed wonderful. While no great change
las been made in the implements or style
# throwing, yet performances that ten
1ears ago won championships would to-day
'ank mediocre. While the other branches
# athletic sport have made but slight pro-
.ress-and in sprinting there has been none
the weight throwers have made gigantic
tribes. and in the following tables of the
championships given in this country it will
70 readily seen how the hammer throwers,
hot putters, and weight throwers of to-day
utclass those of a dozen years ago.

1 remember being called to case Of
laudanum poisoning, when after failing
to produce vomiting in every other way,
the following method was successful: A
long whalebone was procured; around
one end Of it a rag was wound, and a
string two feet long fastened thoroughly
TO the rag. The rag was then pushed
gently down the oesopaghus into the
stomach. and then the whalebOne was
Withdrawn, leaving the string extending
from the rag in the stomach out through
tho mouth; gentle jerking of the
string few times secured the necessary
irritation and contraction brought up
the mixture Of laudanum, the strong
coffee that had been given as an an
tidotc TO the laudanum, the mustard
and other portions that had failed to
provoke the vomiting, and of course the
woman recovered in due time--Pitts-

1t is singular fact that the famous
French draInatist, Sardou, owed bis first
success on the boards TO his excellent
handwriting. BE had sent in his often
rejected play, La Taverne des Etudi-
ants" TO the Odeon management for
consideration. and the manuscript was
thrown with some fifty others upon a
table. One day at rehearsal the cham
ing actress. Nile. Berengere, was at
tracted by the handwriting, and took up
the manuscript, crying. "Oh, what ~
exquisite hsadr" She read the play, and
recommended it so strongly to the direc-
tors that they we're induced to read it,
and then accept II. At the time Sardou
now one of the richest literary men in
Europe-was starving. He had gone
through seven long years Of terrible hard
ship and riyation.-London Tit-Bits.

trict Agricultural association. The may
or proposes to make the park popular
resort, and would have the directors put
in a lake in the centre of the track and
make half-mile drive for the benefit OF
the public who own good horses, along
the far side OF the track. He thinks
that such drive would make the track
very popular, and would thus give
everybody chance to speed
their horses. This drive would viz
tually be an extension of Figueroa
street and the entrance would be from
that street. There will be gates at both
ends, so the drive can be closed on race
DAYS and fair time. At all other times,
the public will be at liberty to speed
their horses. The mayor is Of the opin-
ion that the scheme is good one and
that thousands of people could be in
duced to attend open air concerts on
summer evenings on the lake. This is
the main proposition, although there are
several other minor plans for the i'm
provement of the park.
