ISOLATION of Amateur Athletes of America,
to be held at Manhattan Field, New York,
next week Saturday.
| Each man who is to compete has been
training for this particular event as only a
college man will train. He will 20 in to
win. And if he sees he can't win, he will
work just as hard for second place. And if
another slips in between himself and the
winner, he will struggle almost to the last
gasp for the third prize. After all it is the
thirds that win the championships Har-
Vard won two years ago on her third prizes;
and last year single place prize, lost by
Yale to Princeton, would have transposed
the blue and the orange and black. have
seen college athletes in an ecstacy of de-
light over the bronze medal given to third
man. 1t is the keen competition for the
places that makes the intercollegiate the
most interesting and exciting games of the
year.
The Old Champions Are Gone.
As far as individual winners are concerned,
the uncertainty as to results of the various
events is probably gr eater than ever before.
Cary, of Princeton; Williams and Ryder,
of Yale; Finley and Lee, of Harvard; Vic
tor Mapes, of Columbia, and Shattuck, of
Amherst, have been graduated or have re-
tired. In consequence, the 1OO 22O and 440-
yard dashes, the hurdle races and the broad
Jumping, vaulting and weight-throwing
competitions have been transferred from
the column of "sure things" to the list of
open events. Fearing, of Harvard. in fact,
seems the only certain winner. Judging
by his recent performances Fearing is
likely to win in both the high jump and
the lew hurdles.
For the team championship everything
looks crimson and Harvard will win as she
pleases A first place counts points, a
second 9 and third 1. Of the 112 points
to be divided among the score of colleges,
Harvard is likely to score more than 40
For second place, Princeton and Yale seem
to have nearly equal chances Yale has
carried over one championship from last
year, and Columbia will be represented by
a champion of 1890 and another of 1891
Princeton has no prize winner, but more
place men of last years team than the
other two together. Columbia will be
fourth. Amherst and the University of
will fight for fifth place.

I. The table was we'll supplied with good
food, around which officers, privates and
prisoners gathered in social way and
drank warm beer together. 1 talked for a
long time with a most interesting Brazilian,
a veteran of years, and of distinguished SER
vice in all the wars of Brazil, who was
tremulous with age, and in any country
would have been retired with honor Tor the
good he had already done his country,
rather than cruelty exiled because as
patriot he would not be witness to the
usurpations of the President without raising
his voice in respectful protest.
This was Field Marshal Barretto, who is
now Senator-elect, but, without regard to
the exemptions accorded to law makers, was
reused from bed before daylight, sent aboard
a ship and is now en- route to exile. Prob
ably among the lot there are none who ap-
pear to suffer or to feel more keenly the
degradation than this old hero, but like a
soldier, he bears i silently and uncomplain-
inglv. The protet that he seemed to en-
phasize most was his disgust with the Presi-
dent for putting him and his fellow officers
of high rank under the guard of second
lieutenant and lot of cadets 1t is gener-
ally conceded among Braziians and even
with the prisoners, that if the offense

But they all assert positively that there
was no attempt at a revolution, that they
had simply, as citizens, given expression to
their respectful protests against usurpation.

Earnest workers Pay Tribute to a
Friend bout to Depart for Another
City.
A very pleasant event occurred Wednes-
day evening at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Nichols, No. "a Lawrence
street. The Earnest Workers of the Ep-
worth N. E. church, of which Mrs. Nich-
OILS has been treasurer for sometime, held
q meeting last with Mrs. Nichols as

ing perpetrated very happy surprise upon
the retiring officer, Mrs. Nichols being
summoned to the front and presented with
two beautiful scrap baskets in token of
regret over the pending separation. Mr..
and Mrs. Nichols are about to remove to
Bridgeport, where Mr.. Nichols takes po-
sition in prosperous stove and plumbing
establishment conducted by relative.
The presentation, in tho absence of the
popular pastor of the church, Rev. Mr..
Cooper, was effectually carried out by the aid
of Mrs. John Henderson and the surprise
and emotion of the recipient told of the
success of the plot and her deep spprecia-
ton of the spirit animating the donors.
Following this episode refreshments were
served and very pleasant social time was
enjoyed. Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols leave about
September for Bridgeport. Mrs. Todd
of No. 80 Cottage street was elected treas
urer of the society, vice Mrs. Nichols.
Last Sunday morning was an occasion
of rejoicing with the Epworth tabernacle
over the announcement of the fact by the
pastor, Rev. R. T. Cooper, that he has
raised by subscription the SIC, 900 necessa-
~ to defray the expenses of the erection
of the church. He hopes soon to raise
enough more to place the church on firm

In an off year when the false cry of enc
Kinley prices" was soaring the timid, and
before the people had found what was fact
and what was humbug, large fraction of
the voters staid away from the polls and
more than half of these were republicans.
Since 1890 the republicans have been
steadily growing in strength. Tho demo-
cratic managers banked on discord when
the general assembly met, and they failed
completely. Their wicked and lawless
course brought them general condemna-
ton, and their assaults on the town princi-
pie reused the whole back country against
them. The result is that, as regards state
matters, the democracy is all out of con-
cord. The policy pursued by those who
undertook to lead has been disproved by
large part-many think a majority-of the
party. And in national matters the dem
ocrats are campaigning on platform that
means less work and lower wages, and that
no man in Connecticut who is not loafer
can afford to advocate; and they know it.
On the other hand, the republicans, sin
cere in their admiration of Harrison, salts
fed with his admirable administration and
conscious of the usefulness of the tariff,
will surely come to the polls this year, and
as surely will carry the state:
Everything indicates that General Mer-
win, the modest and gentlemanly candi-
date of two years ago, will be nominated
in January, 1892, he will enter upon the
Office of which he was deprived in 1891 by
the democratic conspiracy against the con-
stitution. 1t was great wrong and it will
be righted. The stay-at-homes of 1890 and
the new voters of 1892 will make republi-
can success this year a certainty alike for
the state and the national ticket.

their parks arranged most artistically and
as you enter the main entrance you will
see in foliage letters "Welcome," while in
the distance the twinkling fountains all

you were really in Americas fairyland.
The springs also are crowded, many to
enjoy their refreshing draughta, others to
test their quality. Saratoga lake reached

the Hudson river, and beside Lake Cham
