THE ARENA OF SPORT.

The college golf clubs continue to in
crease. Recently Columbia college stu
dents organized club. The men Of the
College of the City Of New York and
the University of Pennsylvania have also
formed clubs The other colleges that
have entered teams are Yale, Princeton
and Columbia Harvard was invited,
but did not accept Rutgers has num-
Der of players that play on the New
Brunswick Golf club links, while Am
herst, Dartmouth, Exeter and other New
England colleges have courses and golf
ers, clever and enthusiastic.
1t is quite probable that the United
States Golf association will father the
movement to held al intercollegiate
championship next year, as suggested
by James Shields Murphy Of The Golfer,
and the question will no doubt be dis
cussed by the executive committee and
presented at the annual meeting. A
movement was also suggested for an in
tercollegiate team championship.
Team matches between Oxford and
Cam bridge on the other side have been
held for many years and have been
among the leading intercollegiate fix
lures Of the two colleges. Oxford has
won eight times and Cambridge nine
times. Exchange.

Fred Titus, the old class B racing
cycler, who is now under the ban of life
suspension from all l.. A. W. races, feels
aggrieved that @. VI. Murphy and l.. d.
Cabanne, who were suspended with
him, are again racing, while the league
officials refuse to take any notice Of his
claims for reinstatement. Titus has
made repeated appeals to the racing
board for reinstatement He has now
decided to send petition to the ma
tional assembly for removal of his
suspension, and it is said that he will
ask Chief Consul Potter to present his
petition to that assembly. 1t is expected
that the speedy racer will be reinstated.

Influence Undiminished.
After separation Of half dozen
years Moody and sankey have renewed
their evangelical partnership and have
been stirring big audiences in historic
old Cooper Union, New York city. 1t
was more than a quarter Of century
ago that they began to work together,
and for fully 20 years their names have
been household words wherever the
English LANGUAGE isspoken, yet they are
hardly more th-a past middle age today.
AS matter Of fact, great regulations
age more quickly than most Of us real
ize. Mr.. Moody speaks with all his old
time fire and earnestness. He hits
straight out from the shoulder, as usual,
and is just as effective as he was in 1876,
when he startled New York by swaying
thousands in the old Hippodrome.
Mr.. Sankey sings his psalms and
hymns with the same vigor as ever lie

cuclers Arc TO Blame.

There have been about Is fatal bicy-
Gle accidents this year in and about New
York, and with only two or three ex-
captions the cyclers have been to blame.
Six cyelers have been run over by trucks
or wagons, and four of these accidents
were due to carelessness on the part of
the riders themselves. -Four have been
run down by cable cars as a result Of
riding in the cable slot There have
been three collisions between wheelmen
riding in opposing directions because Of
transgression of the rules of the road
There was one accident from coasting
and four that were due directly to care
lessness. 1t would seem that with these
examples before them wheelmen would
exercise moro caution. Buffalo Ex-

Chicago Girl Becomes q Social Queen

In all her widest dreams Miss Cath
crime Smith never fancied brighter or
more promising future than that which
she now finds suddenly opened before
her. Up to within few weeks ago she
was not overprosperous typewriter and
stenographer, living in a modest lit
tie house on Newberry street, Chicago.
Several months ago she did some work
for an Englishman, William Gallwey
by name. who CHANGED to come into her
office. Her pretty face and vivacious
manners attracted Mr.. Gallwey, and
from chance acquaintance they became
fast friends. Friendship ripened into
love. They weve married, and three or
four weeks ago they g iod for Lisbon.
The man whom Miss Smith. the OBJ
scure Chicago girl, married turns out
to be enormously rich and influential.
He is one of the most extensive wine
producers in the world and owns more
vineyards in the Canary islands than
all the other planters together. Two
thirds of the largest island, Grand Ca
nary, belongs to him. He is also the
owner of large tracts of land in Tene-
rife, the seat of government, and in
Gomera, from which the products of
olive oil and grain yield him an inn
mense revenue.

Bascom Myrick, who was an influential
factor in Georgia politics. But Baseom
Myrick in the height Of his power was

When the Hon. Robert H. Berner was

What are the objections to the divorced
husband and wife becoming husband and
wife again? Mrs. PIcsty has stated them in
the following order. Am ! wrong IN assuim-
ing that, on this occasion at least, you will
agree with Mrs. Presty?
First objection: Nobody has ever done
such q thing before.
Second objection: penitent or not penl-
tent, Mr.. Herbert Linley doesn't deserve it.
Third objection: No respectable person
will visit them.
First reply: The question Is not whether
the thing has been done before, but whether
the doing OF the thing is right in Itself.
There Is ut clause in the r.su.ia.,c service
%forbidding q wife 10 forgive her husband,
but there Is direct prohibition to any sepa'
ration between them. 1t is therefore no
wrong to forgive Mr.. Herbert Liniey, and il
Is absolutely right to marry him again.

him home and takes il for granted that hel
father and mother should live together, be
cduSe they are her father and mother, limo
cent Kitty has appealed from the law of di
vorce TO the law of nature. Whether Her
bert Linley has deserved it or whether IN
has not, there he is in the only fit place TO

Witnesses who were within n few

Mrs. Schlcgel, when seen after tn,

Friendship Between Girls.

Choose your friends rs one chooses a
%gown-for good wearing qualities. A
snowy, brilliant girl may have just rs
good wearing stun in her MS n plain,
dowdy girl, there being no special
merit in ~plainness. Ones friends must
be sincere and kiud-heartcd, must be
loyal to one through everything, and,
OF course, one must be loyal to ones
friends. Never remain silent if an ab.
sent friend needs to be defended. Never
indulge in criticisms III your friends,
nor laugh at their foibies. Never, at
any temptation, hurt n friends feelings.
Try to see their, and to show your
friend your own, best side. There are
some beautiful examples Ct friendship
between women, which were begun
when the two were children, and which
lasted through a long life. Maria Hare
and Lucy Stanley fell in love with one
another when they were 7, and were jusI
as much in love when they both were
20. They wrote long letters to one an
other all the way from youth to old age
and had gay times and sorrowful times
as people do, but never ceased to be de
voted and true through everything.
