John Teemer is still practicing rowing
with as much vigor as ever, and he says
that II he rows double with any one this
season his mate will be George Hosmer-
not only because they are friends, but as
Teemer says, Hosmer is rowing better than
aver this year, is full Of grit and seems to
be able to STAN lots Of work.
The disqualification by the Canadian As
aociation Of Amateur Oarsmen of number
Of scullers for alleged professionalism is
creating considerable feeling along the
shore of lake Ontario and the St. Law

been barred, and a prominent member of
the club says, I'VE will have the old four

ATHLETIC DRIFT.

Harry Jewett, who defeated John Owen,
Jr., for the 100 yard run at the western
championship games held recently In De-
troit, Is a mere boy, but he runs with great
life and strength. Owen won the 100 yard
championship of America last September.
and holds that title until next September,
when he may compete again for 1t.
George w. Bishop, a well known half
mile runner Of San Francisco, is anxious
to turn his running abilities into money
making. and has openly challenged any
member of the Olympic club Of that city
to run from 40 yards to I mile for a con
sideration. G. W. Murray, his hacker, says
he will match Bishop in any fair race up
to 1000 a side.
The big grounds of the Montreal Anna.
tour Athletic association, which were
opened In the fall Of 1888 with the Cana
dian championship James for that year,
are said to be in perfect condition. The
club had quite a struggle In buying the
large plot, and after securing IL took
its time In improving 1t. Two seasons,
however, have made u great change, and
several New York athletes who nave seen
the one-third Of = mile track lately say
that that, with also the infield. Is rs fine as

Mrs. Mary E. Bryan has completed her
emotional drains OF "Manche," which she
dramatized from her successful novel Of
that name, and read 1t to a large number

who gave a reception for that purpose.
Among the friends were Mrs. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, Miss Fannie Edgar Thomas, Mr..

d'Apery. The dram is very powerful, the
plot well worked out, and her characters
arc all living. breathing beings. Three of

That well known Caledonian athlete, E.
w. johnson, who recently had a match at
a lengthy all round programme with
Archie Scott, is out with a challenge to
any man in the world to compete against
him in an all round programme. johnson
is about 4s years old, and has been com
peting for over twenty years. He is a tall,
wiry man, standing 6 #. l in. high, and
his weight in athletic clothes is 1888 pounds.
He has made some great jumping records,
and his ability at throwing weights is
much better than the average. He wishes
to compete in throwing twelve and sixteen
pound hammers, throwing ffty-six pound
weight for both height and distance, toss
ing the caber. wrestling, putting fourteen
and twenty-one pound shots, standing and
running broad jumps, standing n run
ing high jumps, standing and running
hop, step and jump, hitch and kick, pole
vault, three standing broad jumps, 100

Germ on this point. MolineuI is % years
old, 8 feet 0 inches tall and weighs 195
pounds. His chest measures 80 inches in
natural state, upper arm 1871 inches, and
forearm lax inches. he has never been
beaten in a horizontal bar contest, and won
the first championship for this event given
In this country in 1885 from a field of sew
cnteen performers. In 1885 and 1887 he did
not compete, for the fixture was held in
New York city and he was out west in
business, but he returned In 1888 and won
the event again amid flying colors. f. J.
Hosp won 1t the two years Molineux WAS
away, but he took second place in 1888.
In 1880 Molineux was a membe 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 OIL former occasions. In
1890, owing to close confinement to
business, he did no. compete, and he says
he has retired from competition. The
STANDARD of excellence he has left Is a most
difficult one for other horizontal bar per-
formers to reach, and 1t is doubtful II the
feats Molineux used to do will be du-
plicated by an amateur for many years.
He commenced practicing his speciality
while at Sedgwick institute, Great Bar
rington. Mass, and continued after leay-
ing there at the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian association, Brooklyn,
where his superiority soon showed itself.
He has during the past half dozen
years taken part In many exhibitions and
competitions, and his work on the various
Ladies' Days. of tina New York Athletic
club and at the celebrated amateur circus
arranged by Mr.. James NJ. Waterbury
made a lasting impression. His services
have been much sought after and to satisfy
all requests he would have to not only
keep himself in constant practice, but the
actual time spent In rendering favors would
amoun in the long run to something con
siderable. Soon after becoming expert on
the single bar he tried feats on the double
horizontal bar, and the ease and finish of
his throws, shoots and somersaults from
one bar to the other have been equaled by
very few professionals.

Word comes from various places showing
that accidents at pole vaulting, mostly the
breaking of the poles, still continue, and
one recently at Staten Island, where the
athlete landed heavily on his spine SO that
he could not get up for some time, rather
dampened the whole games. The main
trouble is that athletes wishing to excel in
this game use poles far too light for them,
which when grasped high up to clear a
great elevation snap between the grip
and the ground. There are cases on record
of athletes meeting with such an accident
having been impaled on the lower end,
falling directly down on it. At almost
any competition five or six different sizes
of poles can be found brought by different
athletes, n 1t is not unusual to see a 100
pound man vaulting with his neighbours
pole, made fer a 100 pound man.

BICYCLE NOTES.

H. E. Laurie, the celebrated English
safety bicycle record breaker, is making a
short visit In America He says he con-
siders the time made in road races in
America, in proportion to the condition OF
the roads, is considerably better than is &C
complished in England in the same line.
The New York state bicycle meet a;
Syracuse on Sept. 1 and Q will, according
to the committee having it In charge, be
the biggest athletic event yet held in that
city. The Syracuse cup, to be presented
to the largest visiting uniformed league
club attending the meet, is an unusually
beautiful trophy, and the minor prizes for
the various races are as handsome in pro-
portion.
Charles b. Nelson, the 19-year-old tour
list from Chicago, who made the distance
from his home to New York in fourteen
days, breaking the best record by over
three days, will start in to break the record
from New York to San Francisco as soon
as he is fully rested from the effects of his
last trip. In his ride from Chicago he
averaged over seventy-ive miles per day.
