viii be some time before the actual results will
be known and balance struck on the books.
There are some classes that were not filled,
hence there is gain for the association. OF
course, we can do no more than offer the
prizes, and if the classes do not fill we even
tually eliminate such classes and put the
money into the classes that do The Horse
Show Association aims to give the horsemen
g chance to exhibit and compete for prizes be-
slowed for merit, and thus to educate the

terested in such matters. 1t seeks to add, as
WELL another week to the winter gayeties and
to clear enough to meet all expenses.
1t will be seen from the foregoing figures
that if the admission were lowered to so cents
we would have TO have not less than 60 900
patrons in order to clear expenses, if that
was all we had to rely upon. l have seen
20, 900 people pay one dollar head to see q
game of football that lasted 70 minutes and
was got up at q nominal cost. These same
people consider the same price too much to
pay for entrance to horse show that cost an
outlay of $4,000. Criticisms have also been
made on the fact that the hox-h olders have
the best positions around the arena. l wish
to say in this connection that horse shows
have been utter failures wherever they de-
pended upon the general admissions or re-
served seats for their support. However, do
not believe that any OF the criticisms made
have been deep-seated or that there is any
serious dissatisfaction with the Horse Show
Association. On the contrary, there is much, l
believe, TO encourage the association and move
it to greater efforts in the future.

few remarks on training and the results thereof
may here be not out OF place.
/ main tain that long-continued training for
middle and long distances produces abnormal
development of the heart and LUNGS, which
makes it dangerous to cease all exercise and
follow sedentary occupation. The lungs
reach so far up toward the points of the
shoulders and so far down on each side OF the
abdominal cavity that unless they are kept in
active use by continued exercise decay is
likely to take place in the extremities of the
chest cavity. | would cite as an instance in
point the death OF Walter C. Dohm, the great
est American middle-distance runner of his
day.
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Los Angeles and
many OF the smaller coast cities now support
thriving athletic clubs, and the membership OF
the Pacific Association OF the A. A. U. is nearly

Athletic club athletes are at great disa

Football is not the same thing TO all persons.
A great Intercollegiate match has as many
aspects as there are interested classes of people
that do or do not understand the game.
To the intense partisan from one of the COL
1eges, who knows every man in the Varsity and
watches what the individual effort OF each is
accomplishing, who knows the game and ap-
preciates the finer points of the play, it is a
brilliant, scientific exhibition of individual
athletic ability and of the harmonious working
