IN SPORTING CIRCLES.
Metropole Members Entertained by
Club Athletes.
IN THE TANK AND GYM,
Stewart Has Something More to Say About
Landy-McAuline Wants to Meet Meyer
for = Purse and Stake Corbett and
Mitchell will Box on Feb. Is.

There was sport galore at the Metrepole
Club last evening. Those of the mem
bers who we're there had rare treat and
those who stayed away missed something
good. There was sport in the gym and
sport IL the tank and it is hard to tell
which WIS enjoyed the most.
1t was .ose after $50 O'Clock when the
first entre\ was called in the gymnasium.
1t was the sNanding broad jump, and the
entrees werN Martin, Smith, Scott and
Fleming. Each contestant was given
three trials and Smith made the best jump
of the quartet but il did not count as he
touched his hands to the floor in accom-
plishing the feat. IL was close thing for
the four men, but Martin finally came in
the winner with a mark of . fl. Ia in. 10
his credit, Scott was second with 8 IT, IL
in, Smith third fl. 1011 in. and Fleming
cleared II. 2 in.
The fifteen yard dash was next called
on and the same quartet was again pitted
against each other. Tom Aiken, the vet
eran runner and trainer of the Manhattan
athletes was starter. Arnold Heilborn
held the stop watch. IL was neck and

neck to the tape, but Martin managed to
get his chest against IL first and was de
clared the winner in Is seconds. Smith
was next, then Scott and Fleming.
The third number on the program was
the running broad jump. Martin led in
the first trial. but Smith beat him 3l5
inches i'm the second. Martin regained his
prestige in the final, and the records of
the four were as follows: Martin, 10 #.
~ in. Fleming, 15 #. 10 in. Smith, 10 II.
~ in. Scott, Is #. . in.
The contests in the gymnasium was con-
cluded with a wrestling bout between
Scott and Fleming, which furnished lots
of amusement for the boys and was
spirited and appropriate wind-up for an
exhibition of such sterling merit.
The next event was in the natatorium,
down stairs. First of all there was n
race, four lengths of the tank, between
Stuart, Heilborn and King, the new man
who will probably figure in many of the
clubs events in the future. 1t was, with
out doubt, the hardest fought race ever
witnessed in the tank. 1t was a fight to
the bitter end, then Stuart managed to
get there about six inches ahead of He'll
born, who was about "A yard in advance of
King. The race would have been still

Machinery Is Found Everywhere.

Machinery is neither aristocratic in its
mission nor above the most menial labor.
1t sweeps the streets in ponderous shape
as well as it assists the dentist in fragile.
It enters the humbest home in the form
Of the sewing machine, and the weary
wife and mother is released from the
tedious stitch, stitch of the needle, and is
able TO accomplish the work of many
hands. The washing machine and wringer
turns "Blue Monday" into comparative
day of rest. The carpet sweeper relieves
the aching back. The gasoline stove makes
the preparation of daily meals u work of
pleasure.
The labor of weaving, spinning and knit
ting has not only ceased to be woman's
work in the home by reason Of the cheap
production of machinery, but most articles
of underclothiDg that were formerly made
in the home are now so cheaply produced
by machinery that it is now more economi-
cal TO purchase than to make the garments

A Very Oceer Satellite.

The satellite nearest to the planet Ju-
piter must be singular place of residence,
IL there be any possibility Of residents at
ali resembling human beings. In the first
place, though il is bigger than our own
moon, the substance of which it is COM
posed is less than half as light as cork, so
that IL is not a very solid place OF resi-
dence
In the next place, though the sun ap.
pears very dim from it as compared with
what it appears from the earth, it has a
moon-namely, Jupiter itself-whose sur
face appears many hundreds OF times
larger than our moon.
In the third place, the recent observa-
tions made of this satellite by Mr.. Barnard
in the great Lick observatory make it not
improbable that this satellite is really cut
in two, and that, therefore, there may be
two separate little worlds, probably not
separated by any very great distance Qor
the total diameter Of the two together, IL
there be two divisions of the satellite which
was always supposed till quite recently to
be single, is not above $500 miles across),
revolving together through space, some
even of the details of one OF which worlds
must be visible from the other, il there be
anything like telescopes on either half.
IL the satellite is not cut in two, Mr..
Barnard holds that there must be light
belt round il, very like the light belt on
Jupiter itself, and that this light belt pro-
duces the impression of division under GER
tain circumstances of the orbit We may
hope that the Lick observatory will at
length solve the problem. Perhaps the
residents of the two halves of the planet,
If il be in halves, can really telegraph to
each other. London Spectator.

Rural and Urban Population.

In a general summary OF the eIeventn
census two facts must strike the most
careless observer: That, allowing for the
vastly increased immigration, the rate OF
native increase has declined more than one
third, and that the increase in city popula-
tion is beyond all precedent Great rs it
Is, the census figures do not show il in full,
because in the bulletins 80 far issued the
office has only included cities of 5000 and
upward. Even thus the urban population
has gained from % 81 per cent. in 1850 to
20. 12 per cent. in 1890, and if all incorpo-
rated cities were included il would appear
that nearly or quite one-third Of all the
people of the United States live in cities of
1900 population and upward.
Along with this has gone n decline in the
rural population in large sections without
parallel save in rare instances of war or
famine, or such wholesale expatriation AS
that Of the Irish in lS4S-60 The following
table shows the growth of city population
from the first:

PHAROAHS, FELLAHS AND EX-

New York: Harper Brothers.
Those whose memories can reach back
so far AZ Miss Amelia B. Edwards visit
to this country, probably remember that
lady as one Of the most pleasing OF plat
form speakers, and her subject-the
ancient monuments of Egypt-as in
structiuely and sensibly treated. In fact
Miss Edwards is pleasing chiefly because
there is mo nonsense about her." Her
most recent book-a reprint Of her
American lectures-partakes of her per-
sonal characteristics. 1t is interesting,
instructive and thorough and it goes
straight TO the point.
This attractive volume contains the
substance of the lectures recently de-
livered in this country by Miss Edwards,
who has here preserved in certain de-
gree the colloquial style that wasso pro-
nounced a charm in her lectures. The
book is absorbingly interesting. 1t is
natural that interest in Egypt should
grow proportionately to our knowledge
Of the country whose pyramids were
hoary with age when Athens and Rome
were young. Under this authors touch
the country of the Pharoahs is constantly
revealing new anu ueeper SOURCES Ol
knowlege and inspiration.
Sir Richard Burton has written of
Egypt as "the inventor of the alphabet,
the cradle of letters, the preacher of
animism and metempscyhosis, and, gen
orally, the source of all human civiliza-
ton"
It's a country well worth reading
about, and Miss Edwards book is good
one to begin with.

And now comes McAuliffe and declares
point blank that he wants TO meet Billy
Meyer He names his figures and even
telegraphs his offer TO President Noel OF
the Olympic Club. He says he will meet

and $4,000 purse. IL is rather an un-
usual course for a champion to do the
challenging but he has shown that he
means business and there is no fault 10 be
found if he strays little from the teaten
path. Jack has had it in for" Billy ever
son, Ind, three years ago, and he thinks
this is his opportunity To get even.
1t is also understood that Meyer is just
as eager for the fray as McAuliffe, and the
only stumbling blocks in the way of a
speedy match will probably be the matter
of weight and the size of the purse, for 10
is not likely that the Olympic club will
offer the 81 ,00O0 asked without considerable
