At any longer distance than mile the uni

note. In fact, the boys consider that distances
over one mile are ciassed by the spectators as
being tireSome and unntereSting.
Hurdle racing was feature of sport which
the college boys took much interest in and as a
result they turned out some very promising
hurderS; among whom are W. H. Henry. who
made a worlds record Of 1854 seconds for 120
yards on the Olympic Club grounds. First
class judges of sprint racing who had seen
Henry fly over the sticks on the day he ac-
complished this wonderful performance said
that they had nev + witnessed a grander finish
by either amateur or professional.

WHEELS THAT WHIRL.

1t would seem that cycling enthusiasts have
gathered together all their strength for one
grand outburst dhring the coming season.
There have been great race meetings In years
gone by but for maguificence of sport they will
fade in the memory when compared with the
tournament which Is TO be given in Chicago
during tina wees in August which the wheel
men have selected for their own. Nothing like
IT, will ev be seen again in all probability
The speediest men of ali nations will be there
to compete with The champions OF all countries
to dispute for supremacy on the path. The great
est inter- ST in cycling this year Will attach 10 the
International Championship contests, which are

lands best men, 1reaud's, ScoIland's, Italy's,
Ge,many's, Canada's, Frances and even the
crack racing men from the Aptpodes are ex-
pectsd. This much reveals the character OF the
International Championships.
This is the first time in the history of cycling
in the world that International races worthy of
the name will be held. Worlds championships
-So-disant-are common enough. but hereto
fore they have always been confined to one
country which had two or three Indifferent men,

change has come about. A few months ago the
Britons, realizing the farccal character Of these
so-called International championships, called
for conference ef all the amateur cycling
bodies Of the universe Henry E. Raymond
chairman Of the national racing board of the
League of American Wheelmen, was chosen
president, and Chicago. already chosen as th e
theater OF the great national cycling event this
year, was named as the place for the first truly
International contest.

viii testify TO their experience and ability.
The object of the coIlegians in sending East
for experienced help is to satisfy the represen-
tatives and officers of the A. A. U. that the
college will have cinder paths that will not be
objected to in case disputes should arise over
coast or world records made upon them.
Particular attention will also be given to

Some of the Stanford records which have
been bettered since last May are the 220-yaId
dash, by G. Calhoun, who made it in 2314
sec; the 440-yard dash, by Rae Maynard, who
made 1t In 81 sec.; the high jump, by Scott
Calhoun. who cleared feet G inches; the shot,
by Orcutt, with 30 feet; the pole vault, by
Crane, with 8 teet IL inches. None OF these
stand as Stamford records, however, yet they
show that there is ability for great improve
ment even where little practice has been taken.
With a good track and a years experience
Stanford may hope TO show up as a strong da + k
horse in the contest for the coast champion ship
in 1894, but for the present too much must not
be expected from unfavorable circumstances.
The new cinder path which the students of
Stanford have constructed will be in first
class condition for the athletes to train upon
next month. The older the cnder track the
better it is for the athletes provided 1t prop
erly cared for: The cinders work gradui lily

very inviting when it Is a month old it will not
be considered fast until about a year after its
construction.
