1t may be recalled that when the Yale
athletes came home defeated by their col
lege brethren Of England, that the
"points" secured by the Englishmen re-
presented chiefly contests OF speed, agil-
ity and lightness, while the Americans
points were secured by muscular achieve
ment The English athletes proved SUI
perior at the dsshes and the jumps,
while the Americans, led by the mighty
HIcKocK, outclassed their rivals in the
heavy weight throwing. The contests
that demanded sinewy nimbleness out
umbered those that called for beef and
muscle, and so the Englishmen had the
best OF the series. Some little surprise
was felt on both sides the water that the
line OF superiority should be so sharply
drawn between the two sets of athletes,
and that it was drawn in favor OF the
Americans for muscular achievement,
and OF the Englishmen for lightness OF
foot also excited controversy on the ques-
tion OF the tendency of national develop
ment in England and America.
II is likely, however, that the result OF
these events, was hardly more than a coin
cidence, so far as being of value to base
a contrasted estimate Of the development
most possible in English and American
youth. 1t probably only so happened that
the Americans college should have fur
nished athletes superior in feats of
strength, and the English in feats of agil-
ity. At any rate, the international track
events on Manhattan field, Saturday,
furnish quite different result to ponder
over. In the greatest international ath-
letic meeting ever held in point OF rec
ord making, and general interest, the ath-
letes of the New York Athletic Club won
every one of the events, eleven in all, de-
feating their cousins OF the London Ath-
letic Club quite hsndily in every instance.
That 1t was no boys play is indicated by
the fact that worlds records were broken
for the sS0.yard run, the running high
jump, and 22o-yard dash, and
equalled for the 100-yard dash. Some OF
the events, however, were won too easily
to admit OF record breaking. The Amer
leans throughout showed superiority in
fieetness Of foot, agility, strength and
endurance.
1t was a remarkable tourney, and the
results were unquestionable.

Lord Dunraven's Sporting Law.
sun.


The Earl Of Dunraven. in his fourth and last
letter relating 20 his Withdrawal from the
contest. for the Americas cup. lays down this
novel principle of sporting law:
II hold that In any match fair field and
no favor Is condition precedent Co any
agreement a. 90 terms, and that. failing that.
any party has perfect right 90 withdraw
absolutely or conditionally. Articles OF agree
ment cannot, and are not ntondcd tu, lay
down liked rules 90 meet every imaginable
contingency. Certain contingencies have
arisen, "a you are aware. ~
That isto say, either party to n match has
the right To rcpudiato his written promise %
abide 10y the terms agreed upon for ~, N, in
his opinion, the conditions are not what they
ought Go be. Lord Dunravcn knew before he
brought Nhkyrio over here 90 race against
Defender that the course would be more or
less disturbed by excursion vessels and be-
made NO stipulation that ~ should not be- AZ
the last moment. after he had sailed two races
and demonstrated Co his own satisfaction
that his own boat could not win. he asserted
that he bad not "a fair field. and ran away.
The nobio lords best friend. must b,
ashamed OF his childishness.

OUR VETERANS.

Verse by Thomas Mulhoirn.l
| In eighteen hundred and sixty.ons.
Our veteran boys so brave,
Marched 10 defend the Capital
And the dear old flag to save.
Each breast afame with patriot love,
Each manly heart so true,
Determined, IL it needs must be-
To shed their blood for you, dear land
To shed their blood for you.
Those men went forth in their health and
To battle with the foe;
And all the hardships they went through
None but the soldiers know.
How oft they marched through drenchins
And Mt night brief rest they found,
Stretched underneath the stars of heaven
Upon the cold, cold ground.
They fought for the flag in.life's full prime
HogardfnV not heat or cold.
And always marched where duty called:
80 manly, true and bold.
They stood the test whore tho cannons belched
And bullets flew like hail:
Of many battle dearly won,
Those men can tell a tale.
Patriots were they to the very core
Those gallant boys in blue;
In many field they shed their blood
And did their duty do.
O, braver men than those old vets
On Gods earth never trod;
They loved the flag with all their soul
And their country next 10 God.
o, God OF battles guide our flag
Wherever IL may be-
Victorious may il always prove
Both over land and sea.
And O, protect our veterans brave,
And have mercy ON the dead
The men who fought for the stars and stripes
May they never want for bread.
God bless Columbia's daughters fair,
They. too, have done their part;
Their true devotion TO the flag
Proved them heroines to the heart.
For they've done all that brave women
could do,
Some with US cast their lot;
Niagara's Falls will cease TO roar
Ere their kindness Is forgot.
Great God Of heaven, we give thee thanks
For the wonders thou hast wrought:
The blessings poured on this fair land
Are beyond our hope or thought.
Where armies fought, now vineyards bloom,
And food In abundance yields
Now lambs and kline and plenty shine
Upon the battle fields
Once more they march 70 Washington,
Thore Is no foe TO fear,
This time they meet IA brothers meet;
Each holds the other dear
And should our flag be ever assailed
The gray as well as blue
Would willingly lay down their lives
Andished their blood for you. dear flag,
They would shed their blood for you.
God bless the homes OF our veterans brave
And thoir sons and daughters, too,
And kindle in them the fire OF love
That Keeps them brave and true.
Bless them. o God, both young and old,
That comes both near and far:
That love divine may always shine
On our heroes of the war.
Flag Of all flags. wave proudly on,
And may God defend thy right
May the God of justice guide you on
And guard you through tho fight;
shine blessings. q God, on our starry nag
Who're e'or 20 be unfurled
They come TO ats folds from every land,
The oppressed OF all the world.

THE Boston Commercial Bulletin un-
Willingly does injustice when 1t remarks
that 'If the ruffianly Armenians around
Providence and elsewhere are samples OF
the race, there is a great deal OF sympa-
thy wasted upon them. What a pity it
is that this country should be refuge
for the scum Of Europe" Our Armenian
fsllow-citizens are not all angels. There
are bad eggs among them. With a compsr.
stiyely small immigration of that race,
the proportion of undesirable citizen.
may be large, though we believe the ac.
tusl figures might show tha, they com.
pare very well with other peoples. We
certainly have many good citizens, and

THE OPPOsITION TO 1T.

The Democratic party organs, the
Rhode Island Citizens League-whatever
that may be-.and DIR. GARvINy are op-
posed to the adoption OF the biennial
amendment which comes before the peo-
pie on Wednesday.
To the majority of thinking people, to
business men and tax payers, the mere
statement OF this opposition would be a
sufficient recommendation OF the pro-
posed amendment though from this view
we must except the Rhode Island Citizens
League, OF which we know nothing as to
membership, standing, or previous condi-
tion OF servitude.
The opposition is made against just one
part OF the amendment pro position, that
section providing that on the request OF
City Councils, the Assembly may in its
discretion provide for the election OF the
municipal representatives by wards in
eNe"u VI oh BShoihi tlckot. we nave al
ready expressed our view Of the desirable
ity OF this idea, and there would seem TO
be no question that IT is directly in the
line of development OF the local option
principle, and Is fairer and more Just to
political parties, and to the electorate. At
any rate, our Democratic friends Will be
gamers, rather than losers by the change
in the present condition OF public senti-
ment, which refuses to recognize the
claims OF Democratic candidates, except
in limited localities OF overwhelming
Democratic partizpn strength.
We have an idea that taxpayers and the
people generally are aweary OF the an
nual election, Will welcome the proposed
change with the attendant avantages con-
templsted by the proposition. No Demo
cratic party workers or organs, no DIR.
GARvIHs, no Rhode Island Citizens
League-whatever that may be--can
stand in the way II the people will take
the trouble TO come out and vote ss they
feel. We want biennial elections, and ex.
tended local option ia quite as desirable,
IL not 90 absolutely demanded. The
whole proposition is right, we should say.

A DUKE.

Dukes are rare products in England.
Their rarity emphasizes the Importance,
from social point OF view, OF the COM
ing match between an American girl,
Miss VANDERBILT and the young Duke OF
Marlborough above more common alli-
ances of American heiresses with lords,
marquisses, or even princes of some ma
tionalities.
In earlier days nobody out of the royal
house could attain to an English duke
dom, and i'm the entire peerage today
there are but twenty-five dukes not OF
the royal blood.
The Marlborough dukeship is quite
recent origin. JOHN CHURCHILL was the
first duke of the title. lie was a valiant
soldier in the time of JAMES III, who later
espoused the cause of the invader, WILL
LIAM OF Orange. and won lasting fame
as warrior al Blenheim.
All this was two centuries ago. The
present duke is the ninth to bear the
name. His father married an American,
Mrs. LILLE HAMERsLEY. whose fortune
set the ducal establishment of Marlborough
on its feet. The late Lord RANDOLPH
CHURCHILL was uncleto the young duke.
