May Lower Worlds Records.

The special events at the New Jersey
A. G. Carnival. on Memorial Day. will
be productive Of some hair raising con-
tests. The half mile run will be a con-
test of rare Importance. T. E. Burke of
Harvard Varsity, H. e. MARVEL of the
N. j. A. c. and Mechling of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania will be the stars.
Burke is without question the fastest
middle distance runner alive today, and
there is every chance of a new worlds
record being established. The present
worlds record is 50 rs seconds, by C. H.
Kelaatuek- Mochling has recently run
the half mile in | min. Sc Sec, and Man
vol can travel in something like that gait.
800 yards will be the race of the day.
The starters will be Wefers. TeWkeSbury,
Rush and Long. Wefers holds the worlds
amateur record of 80 SIS seconds, but it
is very probable that the crown may be
snatched from him on May 50. Tewkes-
bury is doing WONDERFUL and Rush's re-
cent trial of 81 seconds IN a bad track
places him in the foremost rank. But a
man who will surely run a rafting race
is Maxey Long. He will be Ineligible to
compete in the intercollegiate champion
ships next Saturday, and on Monday will
pc just ripe for a good contest. Last
Saturday Long ran the quarter in 40 1-5
seconds and this is proof enough that he
can run a eorking three hundred Me.
Cracken, the giant hammer thrower Of
the University of Pennsylvania, will APP
pear in the hammer and putting the
stone. He will be opposed by Mitchell
and Hennessy, the Irish giant. AT the
University of Pennsylvania games last
Saturday McCracken broke the collegiate
record by sending the hammer 147 feet
10 inches Hennessy is putting the stone
ord. and will surely treat the spectators
to q rare performance.

ASSAULTED HIS EMPLOYER.
Grocer Van Dorm Says His Clerk,
John McCabe, Struck Him.

John McCabe, twenty years old, who
up to last evening vas a clerk in the en-
ploy of John Van Dorm, who keeps a
grocery store at Ocean and Linden ave-
nues. was arrested about half-past eight
last evening by Detective Bennett of the
Ocean avenue station. McCabe was locked
up, being charged with assault and bat
terry. His former employer was the COM
plainant. Van Dorm charged McCabe with
punching him in the face, which bore
marks of having come in contact with
something hard. His lip was badly cut
and his face otherwise discolored.
McCabe was hired about four months
ago by Van Dorm to work for him about
the store. OF late, however, his employer
found fault with the company he kept
and told him so. McCabe said nothing,
but last night about eight o'clock a friend
Of his came around to the store and
waited until he came out. McCabe left
his work, so Van Dorm says, and went
out on the sidewalk to talk to his com
panion. When he went back into the
store his employer told him that IL he had
more business outside with his friends
than he had inside he had better leave
and go with them. McCabe replied that
If Van Dorm did not like his actions he
was perfectly at liberty to do as he saw
fit. Van Dorm then Immediately dis
charged his clerk.
McCabe went out but came back about
five minutes later and went behind the
grocery counter. Var Dorm objected and
ordered him out, and MeCabe said that
ii doing so Van Dorm almost shut on his
wind by putting his fingers on his eMc-
Cabess) throat. McCabe said that he was
forced to protect himself and In the
struggle that followed Van Dorm got his
lip cut. Van Dorm aid he did not put
his hands on McCabe's throat and further
says that when he demonstrated with Nc
Cabe for going behind his counter McEabe
struck him. McCabe said that the reason
he went behind the counter was to get
some clothes which he left there, but
Van Dorm says McCabe had no clothes
behind the counter.

"Just as soon as the warm weather sets

summer, were able to swim a few strokes,

water. writes Frank Fl. Vizetclly in an
illustrated article on 1.-THE Simple Art of
Swimming in the June "Woman's Home
Companion .The majority will find this
~self-innposed task far more difficult than
is anticipated. It is necessary to remind
those that indulge In short, hurried
strokes hat one of the golden rules of
swimming IS move slowly and deliber-
ately.' Those who wish to become good
swimmers must cultivate self-reliance,
and they should always bear in mind that
water itself has a sustaining power far

to repeat the movements which propel the
body through the water. The second
golden rule which the beginner should
school herself TO remember Is that hv-

does NOT necessarily sink therein. Con-
