Dull Fighting No Longer Popular

Dull Fighting No Longer Popular
Among the Spnninrds.
Bull fighting is OF the wanc in
Spain, and its popularity is rapidly de-
clining. This, says the New York
Tribune, is shown by the fact That the
Madrid chamber of commerce has just
presented n petition based on the
unanimous vote OF its members to the
governor OF Madrid, requesting him to
put n stop to weekday corridos, ave on
exceptional occasions. 1t is urged
therein that bull fights on working days
injurc trade and industry, are detri-
mental to the dispatch of business in
the government Offices anu favor idle
ness with all its accompanying evils.
The governor mas promised to accede
10 the petition, and his decision is up
proved by n large and influential por-
ton OF the public, whilc the remainder
of.the people view tile matter with in
difference. Yet 20 years ago the bare
idea of amy restriction of the number
of bull fights by the authorities would
have raised II storm of Indignation,
possibly developing into n revolution.
The altered condition of public scnti-
mcnt with regard TO this national
sport is mainly attributable to the en-
ccllcnt influence of the queen regent,
who has always set her face against
bull fighting, rcsolutely declining 10
countenance the corridos by her pres
ence. ,gss.a

How To Climb Hills.

The following advice from an expert on
hill climbing will be found of value:
An easy way of mounting a fairly steep
Mill of mile in length when out for a
10 to 20 mile spin is to begin by maintaining
q steady tread on the pedals, pushing them
over when at the top, and, more important
still, clawing them round past the dead CEN
ter at the bottom. sitting in an easy posture
and in slightly forward position. With
this careful ankle action the best result is
obtained. and the first half-mile CIR more is
comprised in comparatively easy fashion.
change of position may then be made in
order to relieve the muscles. Sitting well
back in the saddle, head back and arms
straight, the rider now thrusts forward
rather than downward, at the same time
keeping the steering perfectly straight. A
great amount Of power is exerted in this
manner by the lower limbs; it IS complete
change from the first position and the rider
soon finds himself at the summit, still fresh
for the continuation of his journey A steep
bank, If at all long, should always be
walked. but if short may be assembled with
moderate ease by taking a sharp squirt at the
handles. VIII quickly land the rider at the
top: TO accomplish these spurts without
undue strain. great deal depends on the
position of the rider, who must be well above
his work. with full play for extending his
limbs. Those who ride with bent arms an
parentiy seated in hollow instead of well
up IN the saddle, cannot expect to utilize
their full powers. There is one broad rule
which may be taken fairly decisive on
the question of hill riding being harmful or
not. and it is this: If during the ascent the
rider can keep his mouth closed the whole
ume ne is not everstraining himself but if
the eXerGon causes him to gasp for breath
it is distressing the lungs and heart. and
is proved to be excessiVe-it would be far
better to walk.

RATE SITUATION IMPROVED.

CHICAGO, June 26.-For some time
reports have been current that trouble
was to be feared from the Colorado
Midland in connection with Christian
Endeavor rates, Iii the opinion of the
officials Of that road. its eastern corr
nectionS have been discriminating
against it by turning over to its cons
petitors the bulk of the business. It,
was the common report that, in order
to even matters up, the Colorado Mid
land had decided to pay commissions
on all the business it could get. Such
course of action would inevitably de-
moralize the Christian EndeaVor rates
to large extent, but General Pessen-
ger Agent Bailey. of the Midland has
announced that he has nc intention
of paying any commissions. although
he would be amply justified In doing
So on account of the treatment his
road has received from the lines in the
eastern portion of the territory of the
Western Passenger association.
1t is now officially announced that
the market is clear Of St. Paul-Chicago
cheap tickets. and that no demoraliZ2-
ton exists. Thorough tests Of the mar.
ket made in both Chicago and st. Paul
have proven that the charges made
against the Wisconsin Central, by its
competitors, are without any founda-.
ton in fact But for the row over the
business for the meeting OF the Elk5.
the rate situation would be absolutely
settled.

ETC PROBLEM.
Yale and Harvard Put in Per
picking Position.


POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, June 26.-Coach
Charles Courtney, Of the Cornell crew, was
asked this <evening whether, because his
crew had defeated Yale and Harvard, he be-
lieved that it could be possible for Penn
sylvania or Columbia to overthrow them the
coming week. His answer was: 81 have seen
the Pennsylvania crews on the water. They
are rowing fast. 1 have not seen Columbia,
records. There is every possibility open to
good crews" .-..
Mr.. Courtneys answer opens the door Of
a curious situation in American acquatics
still wider than did the defeat of Yale and
Harvard yesterday. Yale concluded before
yesterdays race was scheduled to again
adopt exclusiveness as her programme and
row only with Harvard thereafter. 1t is
conceded ON all hands that Cornell must
now be recognized, but just how is the
question that vexes. Prof. Wheeler, the
mentor of Cornell athletics, says that Yale
and Harvard must apply to Cornell to come
into the contest, and that Cornell should not
have to request admission. 1t is an impor-
tant matter Of fact that next year, not only
will she row Columbia and Pennsylvania, but
ably a crew from the naval academy at
test that will undoubtedly be the most inter
esting aquatic event in the country and
the question is, Yale and Harvard af-
ford to refuse to come into it. The contests
OF this week. especially the varsity race on
FRIDAY, are therefore of the highest impor-
lance. If Columbia or PENNSYLVANIA wins
the race Yale and Harvard will have a harder
nut to crack in the line of exclusiveness
than the one that now confronts them.

Who is 1t rides us swiftly down,
And terrorizes half the town,
And scares the public with a frown?
The scorcher.
Who is 1t with smile so gay,
Rides Ger the unsuspecting jay
And then remounts and rides away?
The scorcher.
Who is it clears the frightened street,
And tries the record hard to beat,
With butting head and flying feet?

Who is it that we see again.
