An Unfair Criticism,

Commenting on the possibility of an in
tcrnational university athletic contest
Lady Colin CaInpbel's Realm says: 1.-The
American universities have nothing like
the authority III athletic matters that ours
have. Things might easily go wrong
The baser kind of sport hangs about the
American tracks, from classifying u record
to poisoning II competitor"
A greater falsehood was never printed
College athletics III America are as honest
as they could be, and the English critic
who declares that records are falsiticd and
competitors are poisoned in college sports
Oh this side of the water is either insane Or
is willful prevaricator.

arose in the seat as If to reach for his
pocket, but instead struck the horse,
which was a nervous one, u smart cut
with his whip. The animal gave
desperate spring forward, and the man
holding the reins was thrown down and
lost his hold and the horse plunged down
the road at great speed. One of the men
caught hold of the back of the carriage
but Mr.. Davis struck him heavy blow
over tho head with pattern stick which

scription of the two follows and the police

The tendency toward claborateness In
tailor made dresses Is n matter of regret to
many who have relied upon plain costumes
OF this sort for ordinary wear. 1t is scarce
ly to be expected that fashion will run
quite mad on this line, but there Is far
less simplicity than formerly In most OF
tho tailor suits that are shown in the ready
made assortmcnts.
Plaids are more worn than ever in Paris
and are of all varieties--large and small,
heavy blacks and delicate lines. The colors

liked for travelling and other hard service,
as at the mountains or seashore. Serges
with wide and marrow ribs, soft cheyiots
ana alpacas are also among the fashionable
materials for these purposes. Alpaca, that

mothers young days, is decidedly to the
