Hor Athletes willing 70 Meet oxford Rne
Cambridge on the Track.
NEW YORK, July yale has written
and mailed a reply 10 the joint challenge
Of oxford and Cambridge for a contest iu
track athletics in this country, accepting
IN its own behalf under certain condi
tions. The reply was cabled to the rep
resentatives Of Oxford and Cambridge,
thus enabling them to consider its termi
prior to the contests between the athletes
of those universities next Wednesday.
The fun text Of the reply follows:
'W. J. Oakley, President Of the Oxford
University Athletic Club; E. 5. Horan,
President of the Cambridge University
Athletic Club.
"DEAB SlRs-We very much regret that
Harvard, for reasons which are satisfao
tory TO that university, feels unwilling td
join MS in accepting the joint challenge
Of Oxford and Cambridge to Harvard and
Yale for q match in track athletics in the
United States This autumn.
1.-The action of Yale in response to your
challenge is as follows:
We accept the challenge upon the con.
dition that the three mile run Ga race
which is unknown at our universities) be
dropped from the list of events as propos.
ed in your letter; that the English team
and the Yale team be each represented by
two competitors in each event. and that
the teams be composed of men who shall
have been eligible TO compete--the Eng
lishmcn in the Oxford Cambridge match
Of this year and the Yale men in the Har.
ward Yale match Of this year.
We suggest Saturday, Oct. 5, for the
date of the match and New York city fol
the place
H. because Of Harvard's unwillingnesi
to join Yale this year in such a match as
the one proposed by your universities, Ok
ford and Cambridge deem it unwise tC
jointly meet Yale, unassisted by Harvard,
Yale hereby challenges the winner of this
years Oxford Cambridge match to a CON

time and under the conditions named
above. L. p. SHELDON,

San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-06-09
HERE is A NEW f A
It's Performer Is q Frenchman,
Philion by Namo.
He Stands on a Globe and Rolls 1t to the
Top of a sixty-Foot T~ower-One of
tho Unique Acrobatic F~ats
OF the bay. U.S

The inventor of anything new In the
line of arenic performances is a rara
avis. Such a variety is Achille Philion,
a little bustling Frenchman who has
invented a new method of climbing
towers and traversing dizzily-suspended
cables.
Philion was born in the circus profess
sion. He is p~ermeated with the circus
spirit. He likes to do daring things
He loves to ascend to heights that
give other people vertigo and per
form feats that make his rivals
turn four shades of green with
envy. Philion began his career by be-
ing carried on his fathers shoulder
while a madly-dashing circus horse was
doing its best to land them both among
the wondering people in the front row
of Paris hippodrome. Then he became
a juvenile acrobatic wonder, and made
the boys yearn to emulate his example
and share in the extravagant plaudits
that nightly greeted his youthful eff
forts.
When he got out of knickerbocken
hS Y POAASthA oh ptS kbobSJ
and after he had tumbled off a few
times and had his neck nearly broken
and narrowly escaped getting his spinal
column wrenched into knots he aston
ished himself and everybody else by
doing what all the other globe perform
ers had done and many things more.
But Philion was far from satisfied.
He worked on his slippery globe and
smiled at the crowds and bowed his 40
acknowledgement of their applause, as
only a Frenchman can bow, and all
the time he was MISUNDERSTANDING
what he could do that would be differ
ent from what anybody else had done;
that would be so dangerous that no
body else would dare to do IT.; that
would be so startling all would talk
about it, just because they couldn't
help themselves. He mentally per
formed feats that nobody ever heard Of
and nobody ever will hear Of, for that
matter. He defed the laws Of gravity
through the medium of his gray mat
ter-and in his soaring fancy he set the
world in such a roaring, unquenchable
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-06-09

blaze of excitement that nothing on
earth or in the heavens above ever
could, would or should, by any hook or
crook, extinguish it.
Then the Eifel tower suggested a
project. Philion looked at his globe
and then at the tower, and in his
minds eye he saw Eifel's masterpiece
encircled by a spiral pathway, and he,
Philion, ascending to the pinnacle, roll
the world looking on with bated breath
and expecting every minute to see him
turning involuntary backward somer-
saults toward the ground.
At last Philion had found what he
wanted-an idea He went to work
with the energy of a Frenchman and
the nervousness of an enthusiast. With
infinite labor and Mt large expense he
developed his project. He could not
erect an Eiffel tower, but he could con
struct something suggestive of its
height. When he got through he had
a tower sixty feet high, encircled twice
or thrice by a narrow spiral, like the
thread of a great screw. Then he be-
gan to experiment with the globe upon
the spiral. His dexterity aided him
Many times he failed, and many a time
he narrowly escaped injury. Eventually
he succeeded in rolling the globe to the
top of the tower. 1t was a feat. 1t set
Paris talking. When Philion extended
great cable across the auditorium from
the pinnacle of the tower and rolled
out over the heads of the audience, the
Parisians said it was the cleverest act
of the kind ever produced. When the
lights were turned out and Philion
started on his careless return journey,
rolling down the narrow spiral with
the speed of an express train with a
thousand rockets and Roman candles
and a sea of red fire suffering and
kissing about him, he felt that he had
done a pretty cute thing.
NJ. Philion is now in Chicago. He has
brought his replica of the Eiffel tower
with him. There is enough steel IN the
structure to ballast an ordinary ship
and it required two railroad cars to
bring it here. 1t is a complicated ar
rangement and requires several days in
erection.
