Jump at the annual championships Of the
Intercollegiate Athletic association, but
the best he could do was to tie for third
place at feet Q inches with Bloss of Har-
ward, Burke of Columbia and Macombcr
of Brown. c. J. Paine, Jr., of Harvard
won the event. On May 8, at the Prince
ton games, Leslie did better, clearing 5
feet liz inches, and on another occasion
he got over the bar at 5 feet 10 inches.
Sweeney is q member of the Xavier Ath
letic club of New York and is without a
peer as high jumper when he is in form.
He won the championship of America in
1892 and 1898 and will probably be after
the event again this fall. At three indoor
games he has cleared feet inches, and
he was the first man to break the world s
record of 6 feet 4 inches, made by w. Byrd
Page of Philadelphia in 1SS7-a record
that had stood unequaled for seven years
The English record still stands to Pages
credit as well as the intercollegiate record,
and in view of Leslie's improving form
the question naturally arises, Has Phila-
delphia new Page in the person of tho
Pennsylvania jumper?

wonderful skill and tact following the
pacing tandem closely, end getting around
the mile with remarkable ease and speed,
30 that, although Sanger spurted near the
flash and was in the le4d for moment,
Bald easily overhauled hin and won the
race.
Next,to this the most exciting event was
the half-mle OPEN class 3, apparently won
by Bald, but awarded by the judges to
Harry r, Ter, who was very close TO him
The crowd saw it differently and set up a
howl of disspprobation, SO Dald was Il e
prime popular fayorte when he capture
the big race from Sanger, later.
Sanger managed TO win the last race, the
mile handicap, class 3, in which he made a
remarkably strong finish, getting through
the pack in fine snape. johnson and San

self especially in the races, riding only
twice. and not getting a place either time,
although he afterwards did some record
breaking.

Of Alix, 2:0434, who is straining every
nerve to dethrone Nancy Hanks, 1904, the
queen of all trotters.
Robert J, the pacing king, made a new
worlds mark of 2:02 = on the indianapolis
track ON Sept. 6, and, what is moro i'm
portant, paced his great mile in q race,
capturing three heats from the wonderful
Joe Patchen in an average time of 2;0SA,
by far the best average ever before made
by trotter or PAGER. Robert j has not
finished his campaign, and many horse
men believe he will pace in an even two
minutes before the snow flies.
Robert J was foaled in 1883 and was
bred by Robert j. c. Walker of Williams
port, Pa, who gave him to Champ"
Brown. He was by Hartford, a son of
Harold, the sire of Maud S, and out of
Judith, by Mambrino Chief He is consc-
quently strictly trotting bred PAGER. In
1892, after he had beaten Mr. Hamlin's
Glendennis, the shrewd Buffalo horseman,
prompted by Trainer Ed Geers, bought
the black PAGER and has since won small
fortune with him, besides securing the
worlds pacing record. Mr.. Hamlin is also
owner of Nightingale, the two and three
mile champion trotter Belle Hamlin and
Globe, the champion trotting team, and
Belle Hamlin, JUSTINE and Globe, the fast
est team of trotters hitched three abreast.
Mr.. Hamlin is not only a great breeder of
horses, but great manufacturer and q
shrewd dealer in real estate. He is tho
king of glucose manufacturers, q sort OF u
trust in the business all by himself. He
probably owns more valuable real esate in
Buffalo than any other man.

Sickened of the Scalpel.

An extraordinary event led Lassone,
physician to Louis XVI of France, to
abandon his anatomical studies. While
selecting from among some dead bodies a
suitable subject for dissection he imagined
that one of them showed doubtful signs
of death and sought to revive life which
was perhaps not eZtinguished. His efforts
were crowned with success. He cured the
man, and as he was poor nourished AND
supported him, but the idea of having
been on the point of committing crime
so affected Lasscnc that he felt himself
unable to pursue his accustomed labors,
and from that time forward che study of
natural history and chemistry took the
place of that of anatomy.-Ncw York Ad-

Leslie, the Conqueror of Champion Sweeney
Norman T. Leslie of the University Of
Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Bank
Clerks Athletic association has for some
time been considered fair running high
jumper, but he created something of a sur
prise in athletic circles recently when he
suddenly developed into championship
form and defeated M. f. Sweeney, who
holds the worlds record for the event.
The jumpers met Sept l in Philadelphia,
and Sweeney was in such poor form that
he was an easy victim for the University
of Pennsylvania athlete. Sweeney has re-
peatedly cleared o bar feet 2 inches tall,
and his worlds record jump of Oct. 8,
1892, was 6 feet AZ inches but on Labor
day he could only do an oven 6feet. Les
lie, however, succeeded in getting over tho
bar at the height of feet l inch and won
the contest. Sweeney has a novel explana-
ton for his defeat. Il was quite sure
could do feet inches if necessary he
says, "but just as went to make a jump

He died before help could reach him. It
is supposed that the act was committed
while Mr. Bayne was suffering from tenn
porary alteration of mind as no reason
Other than despondency can be given for
the rash act.
The shooting took place in Mr.. Bayne's
handsome residence. where he had made
his home for some time past. He was O
man OF very considerable wealth. and his
house is elaborately furnished, All day
friends Of the family and former associates

She was not told at first OF the shocking
manner In which her husband had met his

much prostrated- She was met at the sta
