Thorough physical examination and
record, and tell the student what exer-
cises she can take and what muscles
need developing.
DR.. d. A. Sargent's system Of physical
training is used, and in six months
work in the gymnasium last year, less
than two hours per week being re-
quired, the average strength Of a class
Of 127 students was increased most ma
terially. One hundred per cent of the
class added nearly five kilos to the chest
measurement, and improved in the
same degree in all parts of the body.
The gymnasium hall is large and
well fitted up, and in an adjoining room
there is swimming bath, 43 feet long
by "a feet wide, where the physical di-
rector gives lessons in swimming to any
, who wish to learn. In the theater,
above the exercise room, there is a
sufficient space for indoor tennis and
basket ball.
But, of course, the new Athletic AS
sociation has in view systematic train
ing in outdoor exercise more than gen.
eral gymnastics, and in these lines the
girls have done very good work, con-
sidering the recent date Of their inter-
est in the matter. In the 100 yard dash
on field day, Miss Wilkinson of '98 won
the first heat in 15k seconds, while
Miss Vassar's time for the final heat,
In which she won, was 16 seconds. In
the running broad jump, Miss Baker
made n record of II feet x inches which
was not considered a fair test of her
abilities, as the ground was very slip
perry on account of rain. In the high
jump Miss Baker was expected to win,
as she had the highest record before,
but she sprained her thumb, and, in
consequence of this mishap. was beat
ny MISS Brownell, who made 4S incri-
i, which height Miss Baker had
,qde in practice before field day.

will bring it up from an old-fashioEfd
mansion into the list of the most mod
ern of luxurious homes. The furniture is
the same as that which was used by the
Porter family, but all Of that will be
stored away and new put in its place.
The front hall of the Embassy will be
replaced by new one, formed by tear
ing down the partition, which at pres
ent forms a part of the side wall of the
back parlor, and this will make a hall
Of imposing dimensions. The old
draperies of the library will be taken
down, the walls repapered and new
pictures, handsome cabinets and rich
tapestries, all from abroad, will be
hung up in the freshened mansion.
Electric bells have been hung, the gas
and other fixtures will be changed for
more modern appliances, and the old
ornaments will be put away in the gar
ret. One of the most beautiful of the
tapestries is huge one which the Am
Dassador has just brought from his
home in France, the cloth being now
over hundred and fifty years old. The
Embassy has also received a handsome
set of china, which was presented by
the government to Monsieur Patenotre.

On paper, this looks like Welsh, or
some other unpronounceable language,
but when 1t comes in the musical voices
OF 500 charming young women 1t is in
spring to degree. The athletic or
ganization, now that II has officers and
an exclusive cheer, feels itself OF full
grown stature and able to take care Of
itself, allowing only for the chance Of
little spreading and strengthening as
club as well as the members individ-
ually, which is the raIson d'etre OF an
athletic club.
The feeling was so strong In the col
lege last season that there should be
some definite athletic stand made, that
in June, before the girls scattered far
and wide to their homes, the new as
ISOLATION was started, a constitution
drawn up and submitted to the faculty,
who gave their approval, and then the
officers for the coming year were
elected. These are President, Miss

1nere are five branches Of work un-

The captains for these divisions are
Miss Harriet Sketchley Banks,of Engle-

Miss Banks is captain of both lawn ten

The captain Of the bicycle corps has
not yet been chosen, for, although many
Of the students ride, the faculty has

officers of the association form the Ex-
scutive Board, and all questions are set
tied by them, except in cases where
general opinion is necessary, when a
large meeting is called in the college
hall
In the matter Of rewards and dis
tinctions for athletics there are not
many as yet, the whole interest in the
subject being so new. There is ban
ner, on which are the words "V. G. A.
A. Field Day." and under that is to
be put the year of the class which wins
the banner each field day, the winner to
be the class VIII ch gets the most points
track athlet'cs, running jumping and
saulting. In November the banner
was won by "'97" which class proudly
.arried 1t off the field and will point to
II as their pride and glory as 1t stands
in the gymnasium all winter.
There are two more distinctions to be
won by the "sweet girl athletes" One
is "V" on the sweater, which may be
worn by any girl who has made rec
ord-that is, won in any event; and tn
other is the class date borne in the
same fashion across the chest OF its
wearer, who can only attain this honor
when she has been admitted to the
basket ball team. For basket ball is
the football of the girls colleges, and
the "elevens" are as proud of their
prowess as the stoutest and longest
haired collegian among the boys. The
right to wear the white "V," therefore,
and also the date. may be owned by the
same young woman, who in such case
would probably be compelled to ask for
an increase in her allowance that she
might own two sweaters and not have
her trophies clash with each other.
Work In the gymnasium is obli-
gatory, unless the student Is excused
by the physician on account of her
health; so a good standard of muscular
development is kept up, and there was
good foundation to build on when the
era of more active athletics was in
augurated. Every girl on entering the
college must go to the cosey little oftice

Among the most prominent of the
new members of Congress is young
George B. Mcclellan, son of the Union
general of that name. He has taken a
house on Rhode Island avenue, in a
fashionable part of the city, and he and

home is Of red brick, and the parlor is

the widow OF General Phil Sheridan,

Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- pect to see Yuma Courty rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of. Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the
 ountry arc at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural pozsibiii ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility Of which exceeds that Of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water 10 become a paradise of bloom.
