ACROSS COUNTRY.
The Athletic Grub Boys Take a
Pleasant Run.

The Athletic Grub Boys Take a
Pleasant Run.
The first cross.country run of the
season was taken yesterday by fifteen
members of the Los Angeles Athletic
Club. This was proposed during the
week, and had not the notice been so
short there is no doubt but there would
have been large crowd. AS it was, the
unusual spectacle of fifteen men going
along the country roads at rattling
pace attracted considerable attention.
Those who went were Messrs. T. H.
Bessing, J. G. Pridham, D. G. McGarvip,
J. s. Thayer, A. W. Francisco Jr., A. l..
Austin, Chas E. Patrick, Paul E. Flam-
mer, L. S. Chappelear, Sam Peterson,
H. L. Chevallier, A. w. Cook, E. Ger
main, Horace Taylor and Charles w.
Morris.
The start was made at 10 O'Clock and
at that time every member of the party
was in high spirits. They went through
East Los Angeles past the reservoir like
flash, and as the hills were reached MIR.
Thayer and few of the others struck up
Il lively run. J. @. Pridham and D. G. Nc
Garvin, however, determined to be frat
at the point of destination, the Alhambra
hotel, SO they started out across fields
and over roads past Shorb's winery and
into Alhambra, an hour and fifty minutes
after the start, or an hour and ten min
utes after leaving the Downey avenue
bridge. The blue stockings worn
by Mr.. Pridham on this occasion
''showed up in great shape" and gained
for him the sobriquet Of the "Blue
Stocking" Half an hour afterwards
every body was on hand and was able to
enjoy the excellent dinner set forth by
Mr.. Crank at the hotel.
The return trip was made by the party,
which kept together, via the Mission
road through Ramona. 1t is expected
that these runs will be taken once in
three weeks, and about forty are already
booked for the next.

X. Morrison, is n Harvard graduate and once
was celebrated running high Jumper, hold
ing record Of . feet ~ inches at that game,
which oven in these days Is considered capi-

The programme for the games will be notice
able for its great variety Of events. II will
include sprinting, middle distance running,
walking, hurdling, running high jumping,
pole vaultng, weight throwing and tug Of
war. Games held in doors are, as n rule,
limited In events, but the B. A. A. has made
arrangements for the successful holding Of
events which heretofore have been most un-
satisfactory when competed In on a board
floor. Any kind of running, walking, hur-
ding and tug of war can bc taken part in on
board floor almost as well as ON turf or
cinder path, but jumping and weight throw
ing are different. The trouble with these
events is that the landing place for the athlete
In the jumps and the weights in weight throw
ing ON board floor generally is mattress.
1t can readily he seen that to mark where a
weight lands on n mattress needs much ex-
perience, for no break In the ground, as II IL
called out of doors, Ii made, and tho weight
rolls away without leaving any perceptible
trace where it struck the mat Judges have
to be very quick in determining where the
missile lands and many disputes have arisen.
Athletes in jumping events also complain Of
"A lack Of confidence in landing on mattress
from great height in high jumping or pole
vaulting, although some say they can do as
well under those conditions Us il they were
competing out Of doors and landing on soft
dirt

doors. This will be the first time that the
plan has been tried on a large scale, and the
place assigned for the weights TO land In is
fully large enough to enable even inexpert
weight throwers to compete without running
the risk of damaging the floor by an mac
curate throw.
The programme for the games will DO rs

The new materials for spring and sum-
mer are coming in 80 fast that it is al
most impossible to keep them all in your
minds eye. There are also several quite
new colors which will undoubtedly have
"run." One of them is flax blue, lust
the color Of the blue flax flowers, and it
has the double merit of being an abso-
lutely fast color, no matter in what ma
terial it is produced, and very becoming
to young people or those of fair COM
plexions, as it has the rare quality in
blue Of showing up all the delicate flesh
tints instead of making them look leaden
OF yellow. This dainty color is seen in
foulard and all the summer silks, as well
as in lawns and cotton fabric
The other blue is called Mandarin,
though it is difficult to understand what
gave rise to tho name. 1t is a true sky
blue, with a sort of a frosty bloom over it,
which givcsa silvery metallic luster very
pretty and becoming.

are the easier they arc to keep clean, and
cleanliness is the greatest charm of q

Slow Suicide.

The ingenuity of the would-be suicide
is constantly taxed 10 accomplish his
purpose outside the beaten paths of self
destruction. Jonathan Williams, of Da-
wilson county, N. c., deliberately starved
himself to death. Insisting that his ap-
petite had failed, he refused food, put
ting aside the tempting dishes prepared
by an anxious wife. Twenty-Five days
served to finish the job, and while the
average healthy mind sees the superior
advantages'of a pistol u chloroform, the
gentiemandn question probably derived a
anod deal Of solid enjoyment in tho rToH'
