Spasmodic Advertising

We all reco, nize that as between
the fellow who works "by fits and
starts" and the chap who plods along
and keeps at it steadily, the plodder
gets there every time. The spasmodic
fellow may create an occasional i'm
preston, but the results of his fitful
labcrs are dissipated in the intervals.
The occasional display of fireworks on
y serves the purpose of preventing
his being forgotten altogether; while
the man who works, and keeps work
ing, constantly improves his position
and prospects.
So it is with advertising. It is the re-
peated "ad' and the sustained effort
that tell. The wise advertiser keeps
always before the people to whom he
dc Tres to sell his wares. When you
want to quit doing business stop ad-
vertising-or advertise only "once in
while. Eek.

BIG TAN-BARK RACE.
The $4,000 Walking Match in
Madison Square Garden.
RECORD LIKELY TO BE BROKEN.
One Man Thinks He Will DO 7S0 Miles
In Six Days-Forty Three Entries,
Including all the Old Sports.

New York, March Especial Cores
pondence-]-A determined effort is to be
made to revive interest in six-day walking
matches. At one minute past 10 o'clock
on Sunday, March Is, N least forty and
perhaps more walkers will start around
the tan-bark ellipse in the gorgeous Madi-
son Square Garden for the purpose of
breaking the record if possible, and win
ming the capital prize of 5000 The prizes
indicate that this will not be the end of
walking matches in America, but will be
the beginning of series of great interna-
tional contests. An emblem, in the form
OF gold or silver belt, studded with dia-
monds or some other design, valued at
about 81 800, will be ready for presentation
to the winner, with the understanding
that he shall not compete in the next race,
but if the record is beaten he shall give it
up to the coming man.
In spite of the fact that this match was
"coppered" by some of the metropolitan
sporting writer's week or two ago, it
seems to have sturdily outlived this criti-
cism. A good many sports think that the

pert in the country is building new boat,
which is to be faster and firmer than any
thing now afioat if he can make it so. By
Decoration Day the canoes will all be out
and their PAGES criticised. When the
great annual meet closes in August, on
Lake Champlain, some of the records of
1880 will probably be badly broken.
The Canadian canoeists show quite as
much ingenuity as south of the lakes.
Their narrower streams do not, as rule,
encourage sailing, and the frequent port
ages render light boats necessary. They
make speciality of open canoes for pad
ding, and when the sails are furled are
able to give very good account of them
selves with the fash breeze" If sailing
honors belong south of the line. the pad
ding average is better north of it. The
Toronto Canoe Club has given the name to
a species of open canoe as perfect in its
way as the crack sailers of New York or
Springfield. These are smooth-skinned,
not Tapped, and are made of narrow strips
of tough wood. dark and light colors, al
ternating commonly, firmly fastened to-
gether vertically side by side upon sub
stantial backing, which runs in the other
direction.
A fairly good cruising canoe may cost
from $50 to $50, and can be housed for
about 81 month. 1t will last, with care,
if its owner is not ambitious for racing
honors, for years. Cheaper than doctors
bills and better to take than medicine, say
those who have tried it.

at the business Some of them have
been walking in matches for more than q
dozen years.
There is James Albert, who figured in
probably hundred matches before he won
one in Madison Square garden. Yon want
to watch Albert, who, by the way, has no
connection with the Albert who is manag-
ing the race. Albert, the walker, is a
clean-built, dapper fellow, with none of
the bad habits that pugiIists and walkers
usually have He will be attended by his
wife, will run according TO a schedule, and
barring accidents is a bad man TO bet
against.
Frank Hart. the colored man, whom
O'Leary taught, is another walker who
will be worth watching. He is the only
walker on the tan-bark who can initiate
that peculiarly graceful heel-and-toe style
that made OIeary the fairest heel-and-toe
walker of his day.
George u. Noremac. or TO call him by his
right name Cameron, Is plucky, stocky
little Scotchman, who may be depended
upon to stay on the track until the walk is
over and to make the man just ahead of
him keep going. He is not as a rule first
prize winner, but he usually wins some
prize, and is never the last in the hunt.
John Hughes the Lepper, is of course in
the race, and he is the most deceiving
man of them ALL You can never tell
what, in his obstinacy, he may do. He
bears pain like stole. He viii have his

and there he Is for you. His rheumatism
should ordinarily keep him from going to

occupations of their elders-and this not
only at Matsuri time. They do it with in
lmitable gravity and occurrences. Per-
haps having to assume the responsibilities
of nurse and perambulator combined to
the baby brother or sister when only about
herself may give a girl the habit.
One constantly sees boys who look hardly
old enough to 60 to school actively engaged
in business-bookbi or painting IAN
terms and umbrellas. or even with tiny
hammers knocking the gold leaf into the
fretted surface of the great "Satsuma"
jars which Toxic and Yokohama turn
out in such abundance.
The boys are charming until they put
on red socks and pseudo European shoes,
and fiat-rimmed caps and spectacles, and
attend one of the great schools on foreign
models. Those are the grubs which change
into soshi.
Nor must one forget the kagura dancer,
who goes about the street at the New Year
with his head enveloped in dragons
head mask. with scarlet or green cloth
hanging from it like a photographers
camera cover, to enable him to give the
dragon a neck by holding it an arms

and the man with the performing mon
keys, who are ludicrously like the Japan
csc they initiate, and the conjurer, and the
acrobat, and the raree Snowman, who has
a dolls theater or a diorama full of high
life or high tragedy in his black box. and
sells candies at the close of his perform
ance.

cushion. She has an air tank in each end
and will float when full of water Such
accidents as the drowning last month of a
Jersey lad, who had ventured out with
friend in homemade canvas canoe of
poor model, big enough to hold but one,
will always happen when invited, but a
reasonably steady going man can cruise all
the days of his life without an upset. He
can take his best girl. he can take his wife,
he can take his children, if he has any.
This domesticated aspect of the canoe is
we'll shown by one of the ladies' cruises
sometimes organized, when a dozen boats
with as many well assorted couples aboard
are padded few miles to a cool spring
where an al fresco lunch is laid. When
the shadows begin to lengthen all prepare
for the return. but their paddle strokes fall
lazily and the cleaning steals upon them
unawares as their merry laughter and
snatches of song are borne over the calm
water.
The favorite rendezvous of canoeists
about New York for these pleasant little
excursions is at one of the MANY springs

mouth of Spuyten Duyvil creek, before it

ject through its crisis, and may get most of
Albert's money back, perhaps.
1t will be seen that SO far as the walkers
are concerned, they have no risk, what
ever, in this match. They know to q
penny what they will get if they win. In
other matches this was a matter of specu-
lation, since they raced for the gate re-
ceipts principally. In this race they run
for stipulated prizes and the money has
been deposited in the hands of Arthur T.
Lumley, editor of the Illustrated Ne,cs, of
which John L. Sullivan was an editor be-
fore he became an actor. Lumley is now
Richard X. Fox's chief rival in New York
city and is cheek by jowl with all that
throng of sporting men who followed the
banner of Sullivan when he quarreled
with Fox.
