A WONDERFUL ATHLETE.
How an Unknown Raised Himself to
Become n Worlds Champion.

How an Unknown Raised Himself to
Become a Worlds Champion.
1t is now upwards of sixteen years
since NJ. j. Brooks, an Oxford student
startled the amateur sporting world by
clearing 8 feet PA inches in a runnin
nigh jump at London, England. Then
DAWN, OF Carrick- on SUR, Ireland
oomed above the athletic horizon as
marvellous broad and high jumper, but IL
vas only after four years persistent ef-
ort that he succeeded in eclipsinf
;rook's record by clearing 8 feet 2s
lches at his native place, July 8, 1880
or seven years the greatest jumpers in
he world, essayed in vain to eclipse thes'
CURES. Then w. Byrd Page sailed foi
.ngland, and quickly tranferred the
oveted record to the credit OF America
~ clearing 6 feet 81 inches at Stour-
ridge, August 10, 1887.
Before the transcendent merit OF this
erformance was fully appreciated Page
urnished an overwhelming surprise on
ais return by getting over feet inches
It Philadelphia, October z, 1887 This
eat was unapproached up to last season,
nd, indeed, was generally regarded by
he most sanguine enthusiasts on athletic
,rogress as beyond the range of the wild
1t aspirations. To Nj. +. Sweeney

,ity, belongs the honor OF effacing thi'
record and all the cast-iron theories II
inspired, in one bound.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-12-14

The great leap took place at the New
York A. c. fall games at Travers Island
on October s last, and few of the thous-
ands Who watched with bated breath will
ever forget the outburst of enthusiasm
when the bar was raised to feet AZ
inches and Sweeney cleared II with
plenty to spare on his third and last at
tempt.
The new record holder is still minor,
1aving been born on October q, 1872. He
Weighs generally about $50 pounds, and
8 feet Q inches tall. Sweepy is as ex-
optional in his methods OF living as he
. in his jumping. He never trains in the
ccepted sense of the word. He literally
eats when he's hungry and drinks
vhen he's dry" He rarely jumps be-
ween competitions, but is an accom-
lished and enthusiastic gymnast. These
iealthy propensities, and his regula
ough moderate indulgence in them,
iable him to maintain a uniform econ
ition" without tie ordeal Of speciGl
,reparation, in which elasticity and sna'
re frequently sacrificed for muscular
evelopment.
Sweeney won his first prize in open
competition at the games the Orange,
y. j., Y. NJ. G. A., on Decoration Day,
1890. He competed periodically during
the ensuing year with more than average
success, just improving sufficiently to
have generally q trifle the best OF the
handicaps. As a sprinter and hurdle
racer he also caught the judges eye with
gratifying frequency, while he finished
third to such redoubtable performers as
II. II. Morrell and Oscar Pulvermiller for
the Y. NJ. G. A, all-round "thletic cham
pionship.

Last Night, 7 to g.

wALTHAM, Dec. IA crowd OF 200
people Witnessed the polo game at the
waltham rink last night between the
Providence team and Capt Cotter's men.
The game was one OF the most exciting
PLAYED in Waltham, and the enthusiasm
at times was intense.
Newcombe and Leydon played great
game, but they were no match for Hip
son and Wodtke the local rusbers. The
blocking Of lialf-back Furbush for the
visitors was OF he finest order, and the
goal-tending Of both Sword aud Fitzser-
aid was frs class.
The home team was victorious by a
score II Z 10 3. aud the players have yet
to be beaten in their own rink. Both
teams lost goal on fouls. Referee
keefe has become a great favorite, and
he was given very cordial reception last
night when he appeared on the surface.

Mrs. Porter was in excellent voice.
Her tones are pure and her phrasing

and sympathetic touch which has on

of Roanoke as an amateur violinist of
high rank. Mr.. Rochussen is compare
lively now in Roanoke. He has had

Despite his mannerisms he promises

piano playing is generally beyond cri.

movements. He would be heard to
