ing, wrestling. horse and chariot racing
were added to the events previously used
In the twentieth many novelties were in
PRODUCED, such as men racing in full armor
colts racing and doing the work Of full
grown horses, and boys taking part in
events similar to those entered by men.
The chariot races were confined to the
weather. class of people. In these races
the contestants struggled not only to win
the prize. but also to show their wealth
and the amount of gold they could distrib-
ute about their charots and harness.
All other events were open to rich and
poor alike: no man who could prove pure
Greek descent was debarred from entering.
Rigid rules were made and enforced among
all contestants. The Olympic festivities
were solemniZed every fifth year, and were
from four to five days in duration. They
were held on the banks of the Alpheus, in
the territory Of the Ellis.
The games derived their name from
Olympia. the village in which they took
place. Olympia was site supposed to be
hallowed by the gods, and the Greeks con-
sldered that the gods were pleased by these
firm conviction that the wrath Of the gods
would be propitfated and that all pestlence
would be removed from the land. Prizes
Of gold and silver were given the v.ctors up
after this the winners were given only a
wreath of white laurel. The Olympic games
began with the full moon, and were con-
tinued day and night until finished. During
lHeSe SduleS d treaty Oh peace was Idue
with all nations, and was known as a sort
of truce of Cod Any violation of this
treaty was severely punished.
A Spartan army in APO b. c. was con-
demned to pay fine of two minae per man,
a sum equivalent to about forty dollars in
our money, for invading the country of the
Ellis during the period Of the games. The
revival of these games, once so renowned,
and the source from which our present syS-
tenn of athletics takes its rise, will be well
coined on all sides. 1t is not saying too
much to predict that the Olympic games
will once more gain their great popularity,
and the entire world look forward to these
quadrennial contests.
ShOwered With Bouquets.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Four young men
from Princeton University, who go abroad
to represent that seat of learning at the
Olympian games in Athens next month,
were the recipients of most enthusiastic
demonstration upon the occasion of their
departure today. ~
Almost as notable 1wasT the farewell given
to the four representatives of the Boston
Athletic Association, VINO also sailed on
board the steamer F'ulda, intending to par
ticipate in the same grand international
events that attract the young collegians to
the scene of contests of centuries ago.
Three large omnibuses were needed to con-
vey the Princetonians and their friends
from the Murray Hill Hotel to the Fulda's
pier in Hoboken. There farewells were said
and as the young athletes went aboard the
steamer they were showefed with bouquets
by the ladies Of the party.

Opinions About the Wheel.

Modern Cyclist," writing to The Star,
says: GAS this is an appropriate time for
bicycle enthusiasts to air their views,
want to comment on the tendency of cycle
dom toward br:ghtly-colored wheels. A few
years ego, one seldom saw them finished
in anything but monotonous black enam-
ell, or a rust-enticing nickel; there was no
distinction-all looked alike, and one could
hardly recognize his own If left among
a number of others. The last season has
shown most welcome tendency toward a
change, and the exhibit of the leading
lines at the cycle show indicates such
full turn of the tide that We may now hope
to see a complete break in the monotony
what funereal aspect our streets would
show If all carriages, wagons. herdics and
street .'ars were in somber black. The BIZ
cycle is coming into more general use than
any other vehicle, and its emancipation
from its mournful robes is most pleasing
to the eye, in conformity with good taste,
and opens an opportunity for Individual
ity.''

The Ancient Contests.
The exact date Of the origin Of the Greek
Olympic games is unknown. This is owing
| to the fact that the ancient Greeks desired
the origin of the Olympic festivities to ap-
pear Of a much earlier date than they were.
| The legends Of the people tell of the be-

nothing authentic is known concerning the
date Of their origin. The first games of
which anything is recorded were of a
| humble and unimportant variety. The
| events in the first games were limited to
| long distance races. These contests of long
| distance running were held on the meas
ured course known as the Stadium. Grad
| ually these athletic contests became more
| and more important among the Greeks,
| and as their Importance increased the num-
| Der OF the events was also made larger.
After the occasion Of seventh Olympic
| games. the wealthy as well as the common
| citizens turned their attention to them and
