T. S. Jensen is evidently back in his
old form.
Joe Beck seems to have lot OF
hard luck.
The visiting wheelmen are already
prime favorites.
Salt Lake has the fastest track in
the entire west.
Hyde's defeat by Smith was the sur
prise OF the day.
Weller put UP a grand race in the
contest for the Leyson medal.
There appeared to be about as many
ladies as gentlemen in the grand stand.
Utah now has set of records. The
boys made a pretty clean sweep yester-
day.
Held's band was in attendance, and
rendered lively music during the after
noon.
Tod Game witnessed the races
from the grand stand-the result of a
fall on Tuesday.
Young Jensen's work in the mile
record race, unpaced, was simply mar
velous.
Charley Evans went into too many
very hard races. and the effect was
seen at the finish of the one mile in
vitation.
Cortez ran off the track during one
of the races, but he ran right on
again and finished with the bunch.
As an announcer. there is no man in
Utah that can compare with Charley

tongues end, and is therefore able to

HISTORY OF GOLF.

Golf is a very old game. The Scots par
Lament tried to check it in 1857 for the
purpose OF fostering archery. Covenant
ing ministers use many very irreverent
illustrations from golf in their sermons,
and the great Montrose, their enemy, was
great golfer. OF the Stuarts, James
VI, his mother, the martyred Queen Ma
ry; his sons. Henry. Prince of Wales, and
Charles J.; his grandson, James Ill, and
his great-great-grand Prince Charles
(Fho first introduced golf into italy,,
were all players. The house CT Hanover
has done nothing for golf. l draw no po-
litical conclusion.
The oldest known picture OF golf is in a
Flemish manuscript of 1j00-l520, at the
British museum. Here we see two men
putting at the hole. while hard by is an
other addressing himself to his ball at the
tee. Thus in essentials the game is unal-
tered for nearly 400 years, aud probably IS
much older. as ii needed law to put It
down in 1857. The chief changes have been
indicated. Improvement IN the links, adj
ditional vigor in driving, variety in the
iron clubs, and the scientific use OF iron
clubs for approaching are the most
important modern developments. The
great popularity of the game (Which Will
fade, Ike other fashiors) brings a larger
number of athletes into the field, so II is
natural that a higher level of skill should
be attained.-Andrew Lang, in Harper s
MAGAZINE

THE NvoMAN DOCTOR.

The woman doctor is already an ac-
compiished fact, but as yet she has
apparently made no considerable way
in public favor. It may be contended
that there is something in the art of
healing I'M accord with the primary
instincts of WOman'S nature. But If
We look closer into the subject, it will
be seen that there is more than mere
prejudice and lOng-eStabliShed custom
TO account for the exclusion of the fe-
male sex in the past from the practice
of this calling. Have women the calm
ness of nerVe-the aplomb, So to say
the steadiness of hand and pulse fer
the work of the surgeon? Is 1t posi-
bic to suppose that a, nOn-abnOrmal
woman, with her more highly-strung
constitutional senSibility, could aInpu-
tate a limb with the same impertur-
liability that we should look for in the
male operator?
To fhis it may be replied that,
granting a certain drawback to wo-
men by reason Of sex in the matter
of surgical experiences, the case is ~
ferent with the "metier" of the pny-
stefan, and that here, at least, the
sexes can compete on terms of per-
feet equality. Yet, again. as a matter
of plain fact. are the services of lady
doctors much in request with their
own SeN-nay, even in those branches
of the therapeutic art dealing special
" with feminine ailments? Moreover,
if the advanced WCman's theory Of
exact professional equality and indif-
erence as to sex is to be malntaineu.
why should any barrier suggest itself
to the consultation of medical women
by men, any more than now exist to
the calling in by women Of the male
practitioner? But is there no such
barrier? Surely the mere statement
of the case disposes of the parity ar.
gument.
We have heard of a man here and
there resorting to lady experts in
massage. but that men should go to
women doctors and lay bare their
bodily symptoms in the same WY as
women have done from time immenl-
orial to their male medical advisers.
would be a procedure repugnant, on
both sides. and not convenient" for
obvious reasons. Here. then, while
admitting that a sprinkling of females

sion in obtaining employment as doc
