with his run about 1850 feet back from

slowly a certain mark, about ninety
feet away from the take-off. On arriv-

momentum to his body to have quick
ened his speed, which he does after
getting the foot with which he jumps
at this mark. His strides after leaving
this mark increase in length as his
tpeed increases, and the last three or
four measure over ten feet in length,
for by this time he is going at his ut
most speed. The stride Just In front
OF the take-off is not over seven feet

made of silver wire in ornamental fill
gree shape. with little hooks of bent
wire, closely resembles a hatraek in

rangement for hats, only q dainty ad-
junct to the embroidery table. On
each little hook hangs still another
silver wire arrangement. bent into a

hold embroidery silks. The silks to
be used in any one special design may
be wound upon these silk holders and
hung on the rack conveniently near
the embroidery frame. This smooth

the heasily chased or all filigree silk
holders, but they are better for the
