Those who started via Dyea and the

winter sets in.

A New System Adopted by the Director

A New System Adopted by the Director
of a Great Gymnasium.
DR.. Sargent, the director of the Hem
enway gymnasium at Harvard, has re-
Gently introduced some important
changes in the stem Of strength tests
and eligibility tests before competition
in athletic sports. Since-4S96, when the
present system Of strength tests was
adopted at the Hemenway gymnasium,
the standing Of the strongest ten men
of each year has been given out, with
their records. During the last two or
three years this number has been in
creased to so. This plan has proved a
satisfactory one in many respects, but
it is inadequate to the requirements
made OH the system, inasmuch as it
affects only so out of SOC or more men.
A system of grading is now being in
troduced by which any man can tell
exactly where he stands in his total
strength compared with any other man
in college. The points required to make
up the total strength of a man have
been divided into groups, and the diff
ferent members of each group will be
classified according to their rank in
that group. At the time of the exami
nation every man receives card, on
which is recorded the number of points
he has secured in each individual test
the total number of points, the group in
which this total places him, and the
rank to which he is entitled in this
group. Hereafter all students of Harvard
viii be divided into seven groups, &C.
cording to the number of points in their
strength test and designated by letters
as follows: A, 500 to 200; B, roo to
500; g, 600 to 700; d, 500 to 600; E,
400 to 500; +, 800 to 400; G, 200 to

Hobart VIII Breed Hackneys.

Walter S. Hobart, the young Califor-
mia millionaire, is, it is said, about to
dispose of his racing stable and enter
upon the breeding of hackneys. There
is something about the hackney that
seems to win the admiration of certain
rich men. Whether this is because
wealth loves show and also loves to be
in the swim of fashion or because
wealth really believes the hackney is "a
useful animal is question. There is
no doubt that the hackney is today
the most popular type of animal for
purely carriage purposes and the heavy
road cart. Time was, and not so very
long ago, when the type of carriage
horse all over the civilized world was
OF the large, rangy and majestic kind.
A horse under 16 hands for carriage
purposes 20 years ago would not have
been looked at, much less purchased. -

ample, the frame connections and re-
Inducements are placed on the inside
of the tubing, adding greatly to the
appearance and strength, and produc-
ing what is commonly called "con-
cealed" or flush" joints. OF great
importance to the easy running quail
ties of the bicycle are the gearing
which in the "97" Remington has
been improved by making the sprock
cts of a cycloidal cut, with the addi-
ton of a flange or shoulder to carry
the side plates of the chain, thus dis
tributing the friction and preventing
the vibration which is very noticeable
in a chain running over the ordinary
sprocket.
In the crapk-hanger bearings a de-
cided improvement has been made.
The new form of construction being
such that by the removal of one screw
and the left crank, the entire bearing
can be taken out intact, without dis
placing the balls.
Liberal option of tires, saddles and
gears will be given on the new model.
