Ihe events are ed as follows:
The 100 yards rtm in II 2-5 seconds

fifth second of faster time counts ten

points. In high jump 3 feet s inch

cry additional inch counts two points,

In a mile run 6 minutes 40 seconds

AS the aim of the league is the de-
velopment of men and not of sports,
and of all round men instead of spe-
cialists, no athlete is allowed to enter
into special events until he has shown
his all round ability in the pentathlOn
and qualities in it. To qualify it is
necessary to secure a total of 200
points; score at least so points in the
mile and score at least zero in any
event.
After the state contests the records
are forwarded to the international
committee in New York. The best
100-yard dash that was made by a
San Antonio man will be regarded as
the San Antonio 100-yard dash record
and so for each event. The records
of all the Texas associations will then
be compared, and the best one will
be known as the Texas record. Sim
ilarly the states comprising the south
western section will be compared, ana
the best ones in all the sections, TO
ascertain the American record.

FASHIONS AND FADS.

The maiden who would be up-to-date
must have her mascot, if it's only a
bitOf wood, or tiny ring, but a tails
man she must have against evil, mis-
chief, and all misfortune. These Gu
riOus ornaments are usually worn on
the chatelaine or watch chain.
One of the latest fads among the la
dies is the revival of the old spinning
wheel of our grandmothers. 1t is a
pretty custom, and so picturesque that
it is apt to please society for some
time, especially as it has the sanction
of royalty. The Princess of Wales
and Duchess of Fife have produced
many astonishing evidences of their
skill.
One fthe daintiest of new spring
hats is of spun glass, and has exquis-
itely varying shades of green.
Convenience has carried the day and
again the cool shirt waist for morn
ing and the becoming silk waist for
other seasons will form an essential
part of summer outfits.
BOlerOs with plain and fanciful out
lines confer an air of dressineSS upon
many of the spring gowns.
The bishop sleeves which are insert
ed in most Shirt-waists are much re-
duced in width.
The ballet sleeve is fluffy creation
that recalls the short skirts of a bal
let dancer.
The glory of summer is fOreshadow-
ed in the new hats. Flowers burden
every hat and illusion contributes its
share to the airy lightness which is
an element of spring chapeauX.
\ dainty Easter hat is of shirred
white silk null with pink and cream

There is forecast of summer in

mention:

Dear Miss George Hilgers never

her sweet voice. which makes the
birds themselves claim her as one of
their choir
Tiny Raymond DodsOn made each

ie had appeared before us; his dign-i
fled air was much larger than his size
or voice.
Miss Stella Smith made our feet keep
time with her fairy rhythmic motion,
and Miss PaschaPs skirt dance, which
is Indispensable nowadays, was with
out a flaw.
The little man from the south was a
favorite with the boys; he jigged and
jigged,an rounds of applause brought
him back
Just before the tableauX tiny
merry Jack tar held the audience spell
bound with her perfectly executed

memory for many days, and cause

LIBRARY AND EXCHANGE.

The word charity" ut all times
awakens within us that love for our
fellow creatures which must vent in
actions. and the ladies of the library
and exchange seem to have taken this
precept to heart for they are constant
" watching TO see that none should
suffer. and are making every effort to
assist the charitable societies and at
the same time give the public in gen
eral the pleasure of laudable gener-
OSity
At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors last Tuesday morning, they eX-
pressed great satisfaction at the flour
fishing condition and the bright pros
poets of the library and exchange.
There were 80 new subscribers last
month composed mostly of strangers
out of town. There are many new
and interesting books in the library
and the month of February was an
unusually successful one, showing the
growing interest of the public.
They were so delighted with the sue
cess of the colonial ball by which they
cleared $3.50, that they wish to enlist
the interest and cooperation of ev-
cry one in a May day festival, which
will be given the first day of May.
There will be a queen, and the old
time May pole dances and songs and
every old custom pertaining to this
festival day of the spring time, and
this will be composed entirely of
young people. Ten Of San Antonio's
fairest girls will be chosen and bal
loted for, a charge of ten cents to be
made for each vote, and of course, the
fortunate young lady receiving the
