ATHLETICS BY ARBITRATION.
University Boat Race of the Future on
 Scientific Principles.

\ University Boat Race of the Future on
 Scientific Principles.
 The crews were met together on the day fixed for the event in the council room of the combined universities barge moored at Putney. Fifteen of the athletes were the usual training multi, which contrasted strongly with the garb of the sixteenth-a complete suit of flannels. "To quote our an cestors: Why this thusness?'" asked the Camford stroke as he recognized one of his own men in this strange apparel.
 Why not?" replied the other; ''surely we are not going to pull in tweeds.'
 "We are not going to pull at all, eX- plained the leader of the Oxbridge eight, courteously. ''I think we can manage the matter in a more satiSfac tory fashion. It was all very we'll in the sos to race in real earnest, but now that we have reached the twentieth century our civilization teaches some thing better"
 ''Certainly!'' !'' returned the Camford stroke, ''and think we had better get at once to business. Who has the sworn information of our respective coaches?''
 "I have" replied the honorable solici- tor to the rival boating clubs, ''and if you will allow me I will produce them or rather it, for the coaches have af- frmed jointly"
 All present lowing acquiescence, the man of law, putting on his spectacles and opening a briefbag, produced a | document and read:
 Ut is our opinion that Oxbridge, as | the heavier crew, has an advantage over Camford, which is only lessened, and certainly not entirely removed, by the | better training of the latter. Moreover the steering of the Oxbridge coxswain is infinitely preferable to the steering | of his rival. The times of the various trials, too, have in every instance given distinct advantage to Oxbridge. Again, they have a better boat. So, given fine weather, the result is fore gone conclusion. Oxbridge must win. although no doubt Camford would make a good fight for it and come in a respect | able second"
 ''I suppose we may add barring acci- dents?" suggested the Camford stroke, with rather forced laugh.
 "Sir!' exclaimed the honorable solici- | GOEp "ACh SSNC1IGy' HI d of gentlemen like those present acci- dents always are barred"
 Quite so," admitted the Camford champion. "and suppose our commit l tee of the latest senior wrangler and the youngest double first have consid- cred what may call the atmospheric conditions under which the race would have taken place?"
 "Yes, sir, we have; and those condi- tions are all unfavorable to the success of Camford," was the ready reply. 1 ''Then I think we have but one more thing to do-to give three hearty cheers for our opponents, said the Oxbridge stroke, and minute later the rafters rang with loud applause
 But why shouldn't we have rowed it out?" asked the gentleman in fiannels he was a freshman-a little later. ''Surely that would have been more satisfactory"
 Not at all" was the reply. ''The plan is merely a survival of the fittestr And his answer afforded general satis. l faction.-Punch.

We have received aletter from u
land owner asking the following ques-
tions: 'When does the time expire
when quail can he lawfully shot?" and,
''cun land owner lawfully shoot the
dog OF the hunter when the hunter is
with the dog on the premises Of the
lSnd owner?" In answer to these in
ouiries we will say: lst. That the
time for shooting quail expires on
December 18th. I'd. That no person
has legal right to shoot dog on his
premises when the dog is accompanied
by its owner. This latter fact has been
decided by the courts in quite a num-
bar of instances, and when dog has
been shot under these circumstances
the owner of the dog can obtain such
value for his dog as he can prove it Il
be worth, il the party who shoots the
dog is responsible. AS hunting dog
are usually valued very high by thei1
owners, it would be much better fo
the landowner to let the dog alone
and if he has grievance against tn
hunter TO proceed against him accord
ing to law.-Ex.

There is nothing SO provocative of fail.

TO discourage the average individual,
very little to turn him from a set

"Of COURSE" said Mr.. Saddler, when
we asked him for this list, ''some may
get sick, or drop out otherwise, but
they are all fine workers, and haven't
much fear about their examinations.
They have too much pluck for that,
and they are as good and competent Il
class as any school in Ohio will be able
to turn out, for the very reason that
they know how to study, and are moi
afraid of work."

president ut the Tuesday morning
session.
