Dull Times in the CIuba-Prsparinr for

Dull Times I'm the CIuba-Prsparins for
the Holidays.
Matters in the athletic line are very dull
at present and general falling off has been
noticed at the Olympic Club of members
who few weeks ago patronized the gymna-
SUM and the new athletic grounds. The
reason for this is easily accounted for. In
the nrst place the young men who patron
lie athletics are now engaged attending to
home affairs and assisting their relatives to
prepare for the holidays. In the second
place the weather is not suitable for outdoor
sports and the members who stick to exer-
else in the open air are perfectly satisfied 10
resi- Tor a lew weeks, when the new year
VIII be ushered in with programmes of
sports suitable TO the gymnasium and cinder
path.
In London, on the 10th inst. Sandow and
McCause engaged in dumb-bell-lifting
contest. Hercules (McCause) was awarded
the victory, though he did all the work with
Jerks instead Of steady lifting, like Sandow.
Inc latters work was very clean. He put
up 25ib pounds from the right shoulder,
ago, Emile Regnier put up $50 pounds in the
same manner. Sandow passed 226-pound
dumo-pell from the right shoulder with one
hand, doing cleaner work than Richard Pen
neifs 201A pounds, made in Words GYM
naslum, New York. Sandow is feet 50
inches IN height; he weighs 172 pounds.
The Harvard Mott-Hayep team is in pc
culiar position. 1t won the cup last year,
and has not yet withdrawn from the Inter-
collegiate Association, but, by ruling off the
Harvard Faculty, the team cannot go out

FOOTBALL
A Dangerous Game Under Existing Rules
and Conditions.

Dangerous Game Under Existing Rules
and Conditions.
The announcement that several football
clubs will appear on the field this season
should bring about an interest In the game
among the athletes and college students. In
tie East at present football is more popu-
lar than baseball. and accordin. to descrip-
tive accounts of the game the public must
take pleasure in seeing MANNED players
csrted off the field in ambulance wagons to
hospitals and private iufrmaries. Football
as 1t Is played this year must be emphasized
by lively scrinimaaes and demonstrating to
awaken that feeling of interest and excite
nent which the Eastern people, who sup
port the game, look for when TWO first-class
teams are announced to play.
Standing beside reporter of the Chicago
Times, who was taking notes of the contest
between the Cornell and tho Chicago Uni
versity elevens, which took place recently
ut the Congress-street Grounds. Chicago,
was scrupulOusy dressed man of middle
age, graduate of Harvard, who regarded
the points of play with practical eye. I'M
affected by the excitement occasiOned by the
critical situations.
=" Have you ever" said he to the reporter.
contracted football with prize-fghting and
tried TO reason which is the most brutal?
Now stop me if am indulging in thread
bare ,plattude, but it has just occurred TO
me what storm of indignation it would oc-
CASTOR II those two young gentlemen who
have been trying to warm each other on the
ruSil-llne would put on a set of soft boxing
gloves and go out there and settleihe grudge
that seems to have been engendered by the
excitement of the game. [ think | could
meution the names of 1000 persons in that
grand stand who would stampede as though
q bomb was thrown among them. The
broadcast set of rules that ever governed a
boxing match do not permit one contestant
to choke his opponent into insensiblity.
Surprising now, for instance Peter Jack
son should bend his elbow and putting all
the strength of his body in a mad charge
bring his muscular forearm in contact with
John l.. Sullivan's larry nx, would not every
sport at the ringside cry For shame! and
would not the referee give the fight to Sulli-
van on foul? Yet that is merely one of
the pleasantiies INDUCED in on the football
held. Butting, gouging and arm-twistng
are lnseparable from this fashionable sport
Last year nineteen young men died as the
direct result of accidents in football con-
tests. The record of broken limbs, heads
and noses, not to speak of minor casualties,
would fill bank ledger.
To offset this we have had three deaths
in the prize-ring, and they would not have
happened II the men had fought on the turf.
The admirers OF football and the followers
OF the ring are two widely different classes,
but IL the popularity of priZe-fghting is
traceaDle to the brutal element in mans
nature then the popularity Of football can
boast OF no nobler origin. Both derive their
character from their surroundings,

Darrels, grasp the stock with the right hand, as

the game rises.
During the last rain-storm, says the Fall
River Mail. the dam at the United States
Fishery on the McCloud River washed out,
and the fish went up the stream. This will
prevent the taking of salmon eggs. and will
give the creatures chance to lay their eggs
where they please.
The attention of the Deputy Fish Com
missioner is called to the fact that Tamal-
pals Slough is being netted almost daily by
Italian fishermen. who are seining large
numbers OF young salmon and selling them
to the French and Italian restaurants of this
city.
The MERGED Argus says that Lake Yo-
semitic is now brimfull and that thousands
OF wild geese can be seen basking on its
smooth waters.
Last week four hunters from Alameda
shot 235 ducks at McGills. A large number
OF the birds killed were spoonbill and wild
geon.
