Germ on this point. Molineux is % years
old, feet inches tall and weighs 1875
pounds. His chest measures 30 inches in
natural state, upper arm 1874 inches, and
forearm l2H inches. He has never been
beaten in horizontal bar contest, and won
the first championship for this event given
in this country in 1885 from a field of sew
enteen performers. In 1886 and 1887 he did
not compete, for the fixture was held in
New York city and he was out west in
business, but be returned in 1888 and won
the event again amid flying colOrs. F. j.
Hosp won it the two years MolineuX was
away, but he took second place in 1885,
Ia 1889 Molineux was a member of the
New York Athletic club, and wore that
clubs colors in the horizontal bar cham
pionship for that year, which he won again
just as easily as on former occasions. In
1890 owing to close confinement to
business, he did not compete, and he says
he has retired from competition. The
STANDARD of excellence ne has left is a most
difficult one fOy other horizontal bar per-
formers to reach, and it is doubtful If the
feSts AoiineuX used to do viii be du-
Picatsd by an amateur for many years.
He commenced pTacticipg his speciality
while at Sedgwick inst4t,s4e, Great Bar
r3ngton, Mass, and oolall Attsd after leav-
ing there at the gyms asiHn of the Young
Mems Christian association, Brooklyn,
where his superiority soOr showed itself.
He has during the past half dozen
years taken part il many exhibitions and
competitions, and ais work on the various
ladies Days OF the &e1Y York Athletic
club and at tho celSfarated amateur circus
arranged by MS, Jaznes n Waterbury
made lasting impression. His services
have been much sought after and TO satisfy
all requests he would have to net only
keep himselff In constant practice, but the
actual timespent in rs-ldeEing favors would
amount in the long run to something con-
siderable. Soon after becoming expert on
the single bar he tried tests on the double
horizontal bar, and the ease and finish OF
his throws, shoots and soInersaOlts from
enc bar to the other have beer equaled by
very few professionals.

KING OF THE HORIZONTAL BAR,

in Contest.
Although the records made by amateurs
In many athletic events equal and even ex-
Gel those made by professionals, the form
generally displayed by amateurs on appa-
ratus requiring grace and skill is away be-
low that of professionals. Therefore when
one having seen Roland Molineux perform
speaks Of him, the daring, originality and
grace of his movements on the horizontal
bar arc always brought TO notice If this
athlete should turn professional he could
lot fail to make a tremendous success,
barring accidents, for he completely out
classes other amateurs in the points men
toned, and in the matter of grace the best
professionals do not beat him.
There probably is no apparatus in gym
nasium or on an athletic field where ease
and grace enter 80 largely Into pleasing
exhibition as the horizontal bar: for ONT

house robbery remains a mystery. Theatri-
cal Treasurer Murdoch is better to-day, and
his head has been shaved, showing four
separate cuts, which look as though they
might have been inflicted with knotted
stick instead Of knife. the company left
to-day for Chattanooga. The exact am unit
of money missing will probably never be
known. skeports are conflicting, botl
concerning the sum originally in his
hands, and how much was left in the room
The latter might easily have been counted,
but the detectives forgot it Murdoch
talked much more freely to-day, but to the
same purport as when in stupor last
night.

Before the Legislature-The Day OF
Adjournment still n Doubt.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 17.-To-day's ses-
sion Of the House was as monotonous as
Yesterdays was lively. The morning ses-
sion ended ANONYMOUSLY. The furnace

stand the frigid temperature
Mr.. Calvin had resolution passed that
the House do not look forward to adjourn
ment earlier than Monday. This passed, but
the members are individually looking for
ward to Saturday as the day.
The Zachry resolution was read in the
House and referred to the committee, which
held an experience meeting over it. Three
ways of d;sposng of the matter confront
the legislature: either 70 let things take
their course and see what claims the present
lessees have, throw responsibility Of &c
ton on the governor, or leave the thing
10 the adjudication of the House. The
committee decided on nothing.
BATCH OF LOCAL BILLS.
A great batch Of local bills came up for
passage. Most of the bills we're for bank
and other corporation charters.
Filibustering was resorted TO by the
chilly members. When the temperature
became unbearable, a committee was APP
pointed to investigate, and reported Lhat
the furnace was out of order.
At the afternoon Sc sion about fifty local
bills were reported by the COMMITTEES on
bills, selected to weed out those not
affanttnn Those
considered were Of the same character as
those acted on in the morning.
NO NIGHT SESSION HELD.
The hall was warmer and the members
settled down contentedly until o'clock
arrived. They decided TO waive the night
session. Tomorrow nights session may
