it has been absorbed in the Russian

each successive car during the present
century. upon assuming Office a grand
duke of Finland, has entered into q

Arseoie In Steel.

As the result ofa number of system
attic trials ON q large scale. Mr.. j. +.
Stead stated in a paper before the
British iron and steel institute that
the presence of between ten per cent.
and fifteen per cent. Of arsenic in
steel had no material effect npon its
mechanical properties. Its tenacity
was but slightly increased. its elonga-
tion was apparently unaffected. and
the reduction in area of the fractured
test-pieces was practically equal to
that OF the same steel without the ar.
senica. addition. Arsenic, moreover.
had not the slightest tendency to pro-
duce red-shortness, and arsenical steel
did not appear to be more liable to cor
rosion than the same material without
arsenic. In fact, oxidation was re
tarded by the presence of small guam
aities of ersenic, although such pres.
ence rendered welding more difficult
and materially reduced the electrical
conductivity Of the metal-Philadel.

there are two on each side. There Is but
one ball to each side. When there are
two partners they strike the ball on their
side alternately The object Of the game
Is to drive the ball. starting from the first
hole, into the next hole, and from one hole
into another, and so on round the course,
with as few strokes possible. The play
er or players whose ball is holed In the
fewest strokes has gained that hole. The
match is usually decided by the greatest
number Of holes gained In one or more
rounds.
Sometimes the match Is made dependent
OF the aggregate number of strokes taken
70 hole one or more rounds. Mr.. Horace
q. Hutchinson, one of the golf experts of
the day, and one of the principal contrib
utors to the Badminton treatise of golf,
tells us that he took the trouble to initiate,
while at Oxford, his logic tutor into the
mysteries of the royal and ancient game.
His tutor amused him on the evening of
the same day by describing the game as
putting little balls into little holes with
instruments very lily adapted to the pur-
pcse.'
Mr. Hutchinson accepts the definition,
with the addendum that the victory is to
him who achieves the least number Of
| strokes; and in regard to the Instruments.
he considers the experience of all the golf
ing ages to be of quite as much value as
the opinion of an oxford tutor in logic.
Golfing has much to recommend 1t. 1t Is
healthful. and 1t Is highly respectable. 1t
is free from that violence which character
| ICES some of our sports. If it should be-
come popular. it will be an important ad-
dition to our out-of-door amusements.

the visitors might make things merry for
the home club.
At the close Of the fourth inning Wash
fngton was but one run to the bad, but in
the next two innings the home club rolled
up fourteen runs off Pitchers Mercer and
Anderson, and that settled things
Washington put up the rockiest fielding

The interest in cycling in this city is
really amazing. Time was when people
said that cycling was transient fad and
that it would soon go to the wall. So far
from this being the case the outlook for
the season is the very brightest. OF course,
in this city wheeling is not confined to any
season, but summer ds the time for the
best country runs. and in the spring the
dealers do their biggest business. They say
that never before in the history Of the sport
have they done such rushing trade as
they have during the past few weeks. All
the big factories Of the country are way
behind on their orders. One of the Oldest
Of them is working twenty-four hours a
day. employing three shifts of men at
eight hours each, and yet they are unable
to keep up with their orders.
The local agencies and riding schools are
crowded all the time with enthusiasts and
lots of people who have only gone in for
wheeling in half-hearted way before have
recently bought their own wheels and are
making the best of the pleasant spring
weather. The rainy days Of the past week
have been a great disappointment to many.

PotOmncs Preparing for the Coming
Rcsnttn-The AnalOstnn Crew.
There is not much to tell of local boating
yet. The bad weather of the past week
has put quietus to the sport for there is
very little fun in rowing when the rain is
coming down in torrents. The boat houses
along the Potomac have been practically
deserted for week past, and at only one
of them has any regular attempt been made
to send out boat.
The Potomacs have arranged for an
eight-oared race with the Middies at An
napolis 1t is to be rowed on May IS. The
crew have been practically named and
they have been out on the river every
afternoon since a race was decided upon.
Rain or no rain, they have gone~for a
good, sharp spin up the river, and have
done the mile and half already in time
that leads their followers to think they
will at least give a good account of them
selves at Annapolis. 1t Is hardly to be eX-
pected that they will win the race, the
most enthusiastic members of the club not
asking that much. The Middies in bet
ter training by long odds and have been
practicing hard for their coming race with
| the University of Pennsylvania.

| 1t is quite possible that Washington will
| also have a second crew in the regatta of
| the Schuylkill Navy. The Analostans have
| planned for two crews this season, who
will go on the river regularly as soon as

Moore is planning some hard work for
them. The juniors will be picked from the
following: o. C. Hine, Robinson, James,
| Taylor Upton, Teel, Vaughn. Weaver, Bal
| Iantyne and Halves. The seniors who are
| looked upon as timber for the second boat
are Ross, Howard, Moore, Chandler, Leet,
Perry, Stearns, Mills and Longstreet. If
either eight goes to Philadelphia it will
probably be the juniors.
| Before the rain set in last Friday 1t look
! ed as though the AnaIostans might de-
| generate into a fishing club. Some one
made the discovery that perch fishing was
never better, and that the best place to
hook them was right off the Analostan
| float. Two members OF the club caught
over 200 in a couple of hours one after
noon last week. These figures are known
to be accurate. as they were furnished by
the fishermen themselves. If it had not

From the New York Advertiser.
A pamphlet has been issued in England
in which an attempt is made to show that
British sports-hunting, racing, fishing,
yachting, etc.-are a great national bless
ing, and 1t cannot be said that the effort Is
a failure. In hunting there is an invested
capital of $4,000. 900, and the sport calls
for an annual outlay of s3o,00O,o0o. In 1891
nearly sSO,O0O.0o0 was expanded in racing.
In shooting $40, 100000 is invested and the
annual expenditure is s35,000.000. The dis
ciples of the rod and reel spend annually
in whipping the complaining brooks that
keep the meadows green" the sum of s..
100000 On top of all this is the sum OF
SOS 600 600 invested in yachting, not to
mention the millions which its votaries ex-
pend every year.
A vast army of laborers is required In the
production of material, manufacture, care
of property, ETC., and in this way the mil
lions spent by rich sportsmen goes direct
to the people. On the topic of racing the
writer says that "any serious interference
would mean not only the diminution Of
good 20 per cent of the value of blood
stock, but the throwing of many thousands
of men out of healthy employment, and
the plugging of the source from which,
every year, incalculable sums of money
are distributed-and that. as a rule, among
the poorest members of the community.

What to Wear.

What to Wear.
Mrs. Westinghouse, who has been spend
ing the past winter in Washington, left a
few days ago for LenoX, Mass, taking her
wheel with her. She is an enthusiastic
rider and has explored all the nearby roads
on her bicycle when at her country place
in Pennsylvania.
A problem that troubles women who ride
is that of providing a suitable costume for
the sport, and hints upon this subject
should be particularly timely at this season
of the year. The Pope Manufacturing Com
pany have just issued a series of sugges-
lions for riding habits which are especially
attractive. A few of these are reproduced
by permission herewith.
The first costume is one that was design
ed and is now worn by Miss Georgia Cay
van, the actress, who is an enthusiastic
rider of the wheel. 1t consists of zouave
trousers and smart Elton jacket with full
sleeves, worn over shirt which may be
either loose CT close, or dainty sweater or
tight-fitting jersey bodice with or without
sleeves. Around the waist is a belt of
suede, drawn through a buckle. The trous-
ers are made without lining and in light
serges for summer wear. LeggingS Of Jer-
sey cloth, when wanted, are worn from the
shoe to above the knee, the jersey cloth
being elastic andc affording full play to the
ankles. A sailor hat with chiffon at the
side and Mercury wings completes the
costume. J. q
The second costume was designed by
Kraemer of New York. and is particularly
adapted to those who are in awe of trous-
ers or boomers. It consists of medium
plain skirt and a mobilization of the Elton
jacket with soft roll collar and ends fall
Ing in front. With it is worn a dainty
sweater or such waist as taste may die
tate. The material may be serge or any
of the soft woolens. Leggings of jersey
cloth or other elastic material, with trous-
ers under the skirt, are optional.
Redfern designed the third costume es-
pecially for the Columbia bicycle people.
1t is very popular among the French women
who affect the wheel. 1t consists of the
famous boomers, with Norfolk coat, made
of dark green tweeds, with collar and
waistband Of green cloth of very deep
shade fastened by gold buckles. The long
CATERS are of slate-colored cloth to match
the hat and gloves.

The surprise Of the tournament was the
prowess of Mr.. A. ]. Parsons, who won
both the stroke and the hole match. He

time, but he has made wonderful progress
since he first learned to handle club. His
chief opponent in the stroke match was
Mr. May, and although he was given a
handicap he still surprised himself and his
friends by winning from the president of
the club by excellent play. His score of

him out as most promising player.
