MINNEAPOLIS.
TWIN CITY ATHLETIC CLUB.
Indications That 1t Will Be q
Complete Success.


The prospects look bright for the fut-
ure of the Twin City Athletic club,
which was incorporated short time
ago. Now that it is sure that rppre-
sentative Minneapolis men are coming
into the affair and taking deep inter-
est in it, others begin to see what
great thing 1t will be for Minneapolis,
and are joining rapidly. Already the
club has sufficient names to guarantee
that the club is a"go," and matters will
now be pushed rapidly through. IL Is
hoped that the club can be put in rum
ming order by June Is, and, il the pres
ent outlook is to be relied on, the first
sparring match can be held some time
during the race meetings.
The fame Of the club is being nOlSed
abroad, and is the subject of talk in all
the sporting centers of the country.
The assurance that the club is to he run
on business principles, and with every
thing firSt-claSs in every respect, ieadS
those who are already members to eX-
pect that the club will be second to no
athletic organization i'll the United
States.
Yesterday the board of dirsetors held
meeting and decided to engage Pror.
athletic affairs of the club. His wide
acquaintance all over the country, his
familiarity with everything connected
with athletic events. and, above all, the
reputation he has gained for being a
square" man in every respect, makes
the choice the best that could possibly
be made.
An auditing committee was appointed.
consisting of Lou Harrison, s. b. Hall
and Sam Morton, which will look after
all the clubs accounts and oversee all
business matters. A. I'll. z. Whitley
and L. A. Cotharin were appointed a
house committee, to tend to all pur-
ctases, hiring of help, etc. j. nj. Reese,
Z. A. CothariD and S. B. Hall were APP
pointed a committee TO draft a constitu-
ton and bylaws. A. FL. K. Whitley
will officiate as secretary pro TEN.
AS the Initiation fee and dues are
small, the club should have a splendid
membership, when it is understood that
everything in the athletic department
will be free to members, including in
structiOn in all branches and the spar
ring exhibitions, which will probably
| occur once mouth. AT present the
membership fee is $40, with monthly
dues of $3.50. There is no other ex-
pense, and liabilities of members do not
go beyond that amount. No special as
sessment can be levied. Membership
lists can be found at the West hotel,
Harris theater box office, Chrysanthe-
mum club and all OF the newspaper
offices. A large membership is expect
ed from st. Paul, Duluth and other
towns in the vicinity.

Edward T. Webster yesterday made

real estate business for some time, and
recently became owner OF the Holly

GLOBE Office and said: II don't want a
wrong impression to 20 abroad about
my failure. The Journal has it that
my liabilities will be some $50.
600 or $4,000. and that the Holly

failure. This is wholly a real estate
failure. My unsecured liabilities
amount to about $500. My assets,
which will go to pay these debts, all of
which were contracted in building, are
largely in excess of the liabilities, but
want it distinctly understood that the

Difference in Ancient and Modern Feet


PROFESSIONALLY the human foot, as repre-
scented by old -sculptors, was larger than
the modern one, and, in fact, the primitive
foot of all people of whom we have any rec
ord. either in printing or statuary, was
considerably larger than the restricted foot
of modern times. The masculine foot,
forming an approximate average OF four
different countries, was about II inches
long. This would require ut least No i
or 12l< shoe to cover it comfortably.
The average masculine foot today is
easily fitted with No. So shoe, and is,
therefore, not above 1916 of an inch.
Now, by the old sculptural rule of proper
ton. man five feet nine inches in height
should have a foot il1I inches long, or one
sixth his height 1t was Of no great con
sequence what size sandal nc wore, but he
would have required a modern shoe of at
least l0l{ for u minimum tit or No. II
for real comfort.
For women, allowing for the difference
in the relative size of the two sexes, which
was about the same then as now, q
woman of feet inches in height would
have had foot ten inches long, requiring
n moderate shoot ought to be spoken
only in whjsper-No. 6 as the most com
Portable for that foot, or a No. 81 as the
limit OF torture. The reason for the diff
ference between the old classical foot and
the modern one is obvious. Restriction is
what has done it.-Shoe and Leather Re
