 The entrance examination for any college at Oxford, Cambridge, Edin- burgh or Dublin is trihing as com pared with the entrance examina7 tion for Harvard university, but, on the other hand, both the classical and mathematical men who take the high est rank here go through an amount of reading that our men hardly dream of.

Riyerside county has just adopted a
wide tire ordinance to prevent The de-

be ineffective until there Is a general
law on the subject. Placer has a wide
tire ordinance also, but it is sleeping,
because wagons Of narrow tires be-
longing in adjoining counties roll into
Placer and cut up the roads the wide
tires make, hence the Placerites do not
feel it to be just to enforce a law upon
their own which the stranger may vio-
late with impunity. So it will be in
Riverside. There is wide-tire bill be.
fore the legislature, and it has favor
able committee report. But the bill
simply gives the supervisors power to
pass ordinances on the subject. The
bill may as well pass as an educational
measure; were it obligatory, however.
there would be great virtue in It, II ia
possible that under II some counties
may be encouraged to adopt the ordi.
