Y. N. o. A. ATHLETICS.

The hand ball tournament Is draw
ing to the close and all the remaining
games will be interesting.
The athletic committee are Mr.. ]. Fl.
Albert, 2. p. Bishop and F. e. Hodg-
kin. At meeting Of the committee
on Wednesday an athletic park was
the subject Of discussion. Fine Ioca-
tions have been offered and some one of
these will be accepted, The association
expect TO have a quarter mile bicy Gle
track, baseball, football and tennis
grounds within the track. Good ma
terial Is In sight for ole or more base
ball teams which will be organized as
soon as the park is ready for use.
A field day in June is now almost an
assured fact the Pentathlon plan will
probably be adopted and consists OF
five events with possibility of 500
points 100 yards dash. Throwing IL ID
hammer. Running high jump. Pole
vault and one mile run. Other in
teresting entries will be made. In order
to obtain 500 points, the 100 yard
dash must be made in 10 2-5 seconds.
The hammer thrown 100 feet. High
jump $50 feet. Pole vault 10 feet
high. Mile run In five minutes.
Several members Of the bicycle club
took run to Silver Creek Falls last
Saturday and report a hne time In
spite Of few miles of rough roads.
The cyclic meter registered just IS miles,
the trip back was made in three hours
and forty minutes.
Runs for a month ahead will soon be
planned 80 the fellows may know what
TO expect.
Handball was quite popular In the
gymnasium on Tuesday night, about
twenty indulging In the game. Come
and see the new game, 1t resembles base
ball In many respects. A foot ball be-
ing used, and batting with the feet
while the batter Is suspended from the
bar.
Twenty-four new members were elect
ed on Monday night last, and many
are joining for the athletic sports. Five
dollars covers the expense for one year.

The poetry of shopping comes in with
those shoppers who are starved for ex'

It is not lawful: they have no right to do
it: but they have no society to satisfy a
hunger for the beautiful with jewels
and fine dresses on others If not on
themselves. They cannot afford the
theaters: they go to the shops. They
look at the laces and long: they
go to the embroidery counters and
fancy: they educate themselves IN the
matter of india shawls: they seek the
silkroom. brilliant with gas lights and
electric lights. and look at brocades mt
for the court of princess. at silks whose
famboyant scarlets burn in the illumi-
