Paganini came by the instrument in a
curious way. A French merchant lent
him the instrument to play upon at a
concert at Leghorn. After the concert
Paganini brought 1t back TO its owner,

The beauty and sweetness of Sarasate's

As matter Of fact. Sarasate has two
Strads. One is the renowned BOLSTER
Strad, which he managed to secure in
Paris for $4,000. an hour or two before
HIN OF London sent an ofer for IT, The
other is one that had been used by Paga-
mini. which came to him through his
son Achille. OF course the latter instru-
ment has an additional value from the
circumstances of its former ownership.
Paganini had several valuable violins.

NO TANK FOR CORNELL.

ing tank and the turbulent state of ath-
letic affairs at Cornell to a nicely:
I'm view Of the fact that so many mis-
understandings and SO much friction has
been caused between certain members Of
the student body, of the faculty and of the
board of trustees of Cornell University over
the location of the tank building which
heretofore offered to put up and equip for
the use Of Cornell crews, l deem 1t for the
best interests Of all concerned excepting
or course, the crews themselves, who must
bear the brunt of the misfortune) to for
mally withdraw my offer, with the under
standing that l will give an amount equal
to that which would have been expended
upon the tank to other departments of the
university, as l may elect. / regret that
this action is necessary, but ] shall be free
to add that in my humble opinion all ath-
letic interests at Cornell will suffer until
we shall have made some radical changes
in methods and management. Very truly
yours, Z. G. WYCKOFF."

A CYCLING TROPHY,
Washington and Baltimore Teams
VIII Compete for 1t.


VIII Compete for 1t.
Mr.. ]. H. Flint Of Baltimore has offered a
magnificent silver loving cup to be raced
for by cycling teams representing Wash
irgton and Baltimore. The cup Is Of sterl-
ing silver, fifteen inches high and mounted
on an ebony pedestal It is handsomely
wrought and chased for a rowing cup, but
this work will now be changed to suit the
sort Of contest for which 1t will be the
prize. 1t is lined with gold, and is in every
way one Of the handsomest trophies ever
donated to a cycle contest.
There will probably be five monthly races
so that the contests will continue until the
fall, alternating on the Baltimore and
Washington tracks.
Handsome gold medals will be engraved
to become the permanent property Of the
men winning.
1t is thought that this cup may be the
start to tntercity challenge races. AS the
cup will go either to the Maryland or the
District of Columbia divisions of the league
it Is calculated that challenges from the
loser to the winner In the event may con-
tinue indefinitely.
The events will be counted by points the
team having the greatest number of points
being decided the winner. AS there will be
six men in the contests, the first man
across the tape in each event will count
six points for his team; the second man,
FIVE; the third, four; the fourth three; the
fifth. two, and the last one, SO that there
