accounted for by the exceptionally hot
weather experienced during those months.
The wonderful growth of cycling during
the past year may also perhaps have de-
tracted little from track athletics.
The number Of successful meetings held
during September have, however, clearly
demonstrated that outdoor sports and
pastimes are in healthy state.
The first handicap meet Of the season
was that promoted by the Passaic Ath-
letic association, and held Sept. ut Cliff
ton, y. J. Many fast performances were
accomplished, the most mertorious being
A. 4. Zimmerman's 2m los. for the mile
bicycle handicap around big field. The
40 yards run was won by Fl. Blank, of the
NJ. A. c.. from the 20 yards mark, in As 80
seconds The half mile run went to j. j.
McDonough, Xavier Athletic association,
50 yards start time I'm. 5Gs. S. Y. Wins
low. New York Athletic club, won the mile
from the co yards mark in Am. IS 3-5c
Labor Day Sept. 81 was very busy
one among the athletes Two very sue
cessful sets of games were held in Phil
adelphia, promoted by the CALIFORNIAN
Athletic association and the Bank Clerks
Athletic association. At the latter meet
ing w. C. Downs won the 40 yards scratch
race in 50 As seconds. 7. B. Turner, Man
haitian Athletic club, won the $50 yards
run in Pm. ? Sos, and j. S. Mitchell, New
York Athletic club. threw the l6-pound
hammer l34 feet.
New York and vicinity were the scenes OF
no less than three big meetings on Labor
Day. The Staten Island Athletic club
held a very successful carnival Of sport,
embracing cycling, rowing, tennis, athletic
games, pony racing, etc. The games OF
the Columbia Athletic association, held on
Manhattan field were attended by fully
5000 spectators. The best perform
auce Of the day was accomplished by W.
Fl. Meek, an old time walker, who has
made his temperance on the path this
season after an absence of some five years.
Meek won the two mile handicap from
scratch in the excellent time of lin. IL hos
A. j. Walsh of the Xavier Athletic asso-
citation, accounted for the mile handicapin
Am. 2Gs. As he was only receiving fifteen
yards start his performance was equal to
Am. 9Ss. from scratch, which is the best
mile run this year.
The New jersey Athletic club games at
Bergen Point were attended by a crowd
estimated at between COCO and 1000 peo-
pie. Undoubtedly the drawing card was

SPORTING NOTES.

s. Perry Worden recently returned from
p thirteen weeks bicycle tour OF the Brit
ish isles. which cost him only ninety-five
dollars. He travelled second class on steam
ships, stopped over night with private
families and often cooked his own meals.
Pneumatic tires are not looked upon with
favor in India. The hot climate melts the
cement. and the rubber becomes rotten in
six months or less. Cushions are the IA
vorites. Cycling has only lately been
taken up in India, but the sport is fast be-
coming popular.
Scroggan Bros sold King Lee TO Nick
FINER for $4,000 For other parties they
now make his present owner standing
offer OF $4,000 for the crack son of King
Alfonso.
During the twenty-seven years that
cricket record of w. G.. Graces bowling
has been kept, the champions record has
been 9, 435 wickets at cost of 1854 runs,
or an average of sixteen runs.

"Sister Thompson, as the preacher
named her, had been praying for about
two minutes, when an old man began TO
shout and clap his hands and raise great
disturbance. One of the deacOns went
over TO him and cautioned him TO keep
quiet, and lie restrained himself for the
next three or four minutes. Then Broth
err Jones" was called upon, and he had
scarcely begun when the old man rose up
and shouted:

be forgiven fur his sinful waysW
He was cautioned again and sat down
and restrained himself to an occasional
"Amen" but when Sister Brown" he
gan to plead that all sinful white folks
might turn from the error of their ways,
the old man broke loose and boiled over.
One Of the 5eacons took him by the arm

the latter would not be shaken Off, and
coming again in the straight won fine

time was 6m. SO l-5s., and Sherman's. ON.

The championships of the Atlantic asso-
citation of the A. A. L. were held Sept. IL
at Philadelphia. In the pole vault for
height w. S. Rodenbaugh, Of the Athletic
club of the Schuylkill navy, cleared the
bar at II TT. So in, breaking the American
record of II #. in. held by II. Baxter, OF
the New York Athletic club. AS Roden-
bauch has never before shown such form
he must have improved wonderfully since
last year, and has great chance OF break
ing the English record Of IL IT. in. held
by Dickinson.
Scarcely day passes without some new
record being accomplished by the cyclists.
The most wonderful performances of late
are one-auarter mile with flying start
in 81 seconds by A. A. Zimmerman, one
half mile with flying start in I'm. los. by
w. Windle. and one mile with flying start
in Pm. 9 4-5s. by A. A. Zimmerman. From
a standing start II. c. Tyler, of Spring
field. rode a mile in Pm. s 4-5s., which is
quite equal to Pm. IS. with flying start.
News comes from Independence, Ia,
that on Sept. II one j. 5. johnson rode
one-ouarter mile in 26 3-5 seconds and one
half in $50 seconds AS johnson is an I'M
known man it is reasonable to suppose
that something was wrong with the dis
lance of the track, or else the watches
were held by inexperienced timers.

Frankly, | cannot think OF any valid rea-

-vacillation of purpose, inability TO con-

perience, insufficient knowledge OF the
world and its affairs, and so on through
long and tiresome list of excuses, all fI1Y-

objection or even seriously considered.
Such excuses are usually made by men
who are judging women by past stand

hour of triumph for woman she has been
educated to do any and all kinds OF work
where brains and ability are required-an
hour when woman considers her physical
condition to - as important as that she
shall be well gowned; when lack OF pnr-
pose has been pushed aside forever, ana
plodding perseverance, has brought us own
reward.
Excuses such as these may be made by
