An annlyein OF some OF the worst variations
shows that for instance, in the second heat OF
the l00-yard run electricity made the time
1854 soconds, which, In common fractions,
means q shade over l0h secundR The hand
timing made the result l0h seconds. The diff
ference In distance between theso two times is
over three yards Luther Cary won the heat
easily, and when 1OA seconds was announced
there were many surprised faces, The probA-
bllities are that the electrical timing was more
correct than the hand system. A glance at the
two times Of the run on OF the dead heat In
the 120-yard hurdle race shows that the eleo-
trioal time is only 1.100 OF second slower than
the ofioial time. THIS in distance; f equei 70

heat in the hurdle race l6 65-l00 seconds,
which in common fractions Is over 16 3-5 SEQ
onds. The official time OF this heat was lB l-5

ence OF three yards from tho electrical time.
The probabilities are that electricity was much
more correct in this heat than the Official. tor
A. +. COPELAND was the winner, about n foot
ahead Of A. A. Jordan. COPELAND simply Kept
ahead OF the second man, and did not have to
travel fast In the fnal heat COPELAND, in his
effort to beat II. L. Williams. exerted himself
and he beat Jordan by over three yards. yet tho
official time showed q difference in distance
from the trial heat OF only yard and u half.
The electrical time must have been the moro
correct In this case, for the distance Jordan
was beaten In the final heat proves IL.

but whenever that was relaxed the IN
dustry and its trado werc seriously af-
fected. Supply stimulated demand. and
the nature Of the demand helped to keep
up the high character of tho supply.
In England and Ireland 1t gradually be-
camo the impression that the work was
. peasant and cottage industry. and as
such it commended itself to the notice
Of benevolent persons.
Experience. however, has shown that
simple bencvolence does not.imply artis-
tic perception. or capacity to direct; in
Slet, the impulsive sentiment of bcnev-
olence usually leads to results different
from the moro lasting ones OF CONNER
etal discipline. The influence Of bencv-
olence is somewhat strongly marked In
~ connection with lace-making in Ire
land. Wide spread as lacc-making had
become among tho women of France and
Flanders BY the end OF the seventeenth
century. 1t was at that time somewhat
extensively practiced in England,
whence it passed over in a modified de-
gree to ireland. Here from tho
beginning the conditions seem to
havc been too weakly to secure
Tor it . fairly promising foothold.
This may DO inferred from the
fact that in the year l743 the Royal Dub
lin Society granted to a benevolent and
energetic lady. Lady Arabclla Denny,
80 year to be distributed by her as
che pleased in prizes to those who cx-
Sclled in lacc-making. She was possibly
fred with ambition to promote tho in
dustry in ireland by noting in the south
ern counties Of England tho diligence Of
the ''frec maids who weave their threads
with bones" as well as by reading pas
sages in Bishop Berklcy's Sword to the
Wise. which describes how on . sum-
naers evening common laborcrs were to
be seen ''sitting along the streets OF q
town or village. each at his own door
with cushion before him. making bone |
lace. and earning more in an evenings
pastimc than an Irish family would In a
whole day." She seems to have set to |
work TO teach children in few of the |
Irish poorshouses how to mako ..bone |
lacc"-a small trimming lacc something
like the torchon OF modern commerce,
10 that they should win the prizes.
The Royal Dublin Society continued
Its annual grants for thirty years. New
ertholess soon after Lady Denny'sdcath
bone iace-making became extinct. But
the tradition survived, and early in the
present century an attempt was made to
'evirc it. The first was in 1870. Small
yro8ps Of lace-makers were formed, but
nothing OF importance resulted. In 1899
party Of teachers were brought over
rom England, and before long fifteen
hundred women werc engaged in maxi
ng pillow laces and embroidering imi-
ations Of tulle. This lasted some fifty
ears, but tho namo Of Limerick" lace

Tho uncertain and declining sales OF
Irish lace then gavo birth to . Ladies'
Industrial Society for .Ireland," whose
annouDeed object was to correspond with
English and. foreign acquaintances 70
induce them to sell. free Of charge, any
irish york sent to them. and to remit TO
the owners the full amount that their
work realized But the society's opcr.
atoms we're not far reaching and did not
long survive.
In lSs7, At the time Of the famine in
Ireland. efforts were made to relieve dis
trcss BY learning girls and women to
make lace and forcing tho sales. The
convent schools gave much attention to
It. but the patterns wcro poor and the
work was not altogether ercditable.

principally at Yoaghal, in County Cork,
and Kenmarc. County Kerry. Youghal,
under the direction Of the Presentation
Convent there. has produced for good
many years some remarkable lace Of
this sort Kenmare was tho first of the
the lace-making converts to establish
an art class. and during tho past five
years has not only manifested much en-
ergy. but has also produced one or two
quite remarkable bits of lace.
Very little pillow lace is produced in
ireland. There arc one or two torchon
making centers in Galway and tho West.
Some of the Industrial School children
under the Convent of Mercy at Parsons
town learned to do sort Of Honiton and
Brussels applique lace. but tho annual
output is small Attempts have been
made by the managers OF the Donegal
industrial fund to introduce among
Donegal peasants pillow lacc-making,
with colored threads, after
the style Of certain Bohemian and Rus

been made Of these attempts and Of the

These scattered art classes, most Of

with groups of lace-makers. This feat
ure, which is at least n"w c.c IN tho
conditions Of lace-uiaking in Ireland,
has been developed since 1854. There
arc now eight Of such classes at lacc-
making centers, besides six similar
classes at converts where varieties Of
industrial instruction are given. At the
Schools Of Art in Dublin, Cork, Liner
lex and Waterford small classes Of lace
