The two men who compose the team, as
shown in the accompanying cut, are c. s.
Busse and c. l.. Jacquelin. They made their
debut as three legged team on Aug. 81 Of
last year at the games OF the New Jersey
Athletic club at Bergen Point. They won
this event, lowering the then existing record
by 2-5 seconds, the distance being 1909 yards
In appearance the members of the team are
evenly matched, and although Jacqueln is
the heavier of the two, u good distribution OF
strength and weight is effected by having
him take the outside position, in which place
the greater weight of the team is borne by
him.
AT the games Of the Hampstead Amateur
Athletic association, held at Hampstead, 1.
l., on Sept. Is, 1889, the champions lowered
the 100 yards three legged record, covering
the distance in thirteen seconds, within one
fifth of second OF the worlds record, which
was made on "a cinder track, while the new
record was made on poor grass track, after

add that no white man has ever viewed
this remarkable phenomenon.

Green the Color Now.

Among the spring hats and millinery
are an unusual number Of greens. Some
wreaths-and, in fact, most of them-are
all in green. sometimes in three or four
shades and sometimes only one. Hop
blossoms and leaves are made up into
rather low wreaths, with trailing ends.
Burdock stickers aud leaves are among
the "high novelties" and they are cer-
tainly pretty when put in among soft
black or other lace. think greenish
yellows and yellowish greens are the fa-
vorite shades. noticed among the flow
ers that nearly all the field and wild

The Mckinley bin lately passed by the
house of representatives, which is being
attacked SO fiercely before the senate
committee, contains three important
features. One is the simplitication of
methods of collecting revenue, and to
that there is comparatively little objec-
tion. Another makes important distinc-
tons between goods sold by sample and
those sold in actuality, and to this there
is great deal Of objection, especially in
New York. The third settles some dis
putes as to the rates of duty TO be charged
on goods liable TO different tclassifications,
generally fixing the higher rate, and de-
prives the importer of the right to jury
trial of such issues, and to these provis-
ions there is very heated opposition.
