Wash Shirt Waists Dainty New Effects

< LA feature of our shirt waist selling this year is the great number of exclusive styles that we show. Another feature Is the fact that our range of prices on our waists is lower than elsewhere. Among the higher priced specialties are waists in white lawn with vertical tucks front and back; some with embroidery insertion, some with hemstitching and the new French back, at s1.75. Another effect is the tailor-made vest front with fiaring revers, and with plaited French back at $1.75 One of the waists that will prove most popular among ex- elusive dressers Is a plain chambray with tucks all over front and back and across the shoulders, with soft naring cuffs and high pointed stock collar at g. The "hand- kerchief" back waist, which is creating such a stir, is shown here dn satisfactory varety, with high pointed collar. soft far dng cuffs. etc, at $s.75 and g. 1T

be readily done. Then, the athletes from the two big California colleges have shown @ readiness to undertake long trips. They should be invited. Buffalo being midway between the distinctively New York and New England colleges, and that of Chicago, gives chance for promoting sectional con- tests that will arouse interest.
 The Pr.zes
 ''The men to whom I have referred are better qualified by experience than to talk about the events to be carded, or the prizes to be offered At least the latter side of the question should be subordinated The prizes can be elegant, without being showy or very costly. In the palmy days of Greek athletics a winner thought himself plenti- fully rewarded by the simple laurel wreath. to be handed down as an heirloom.
 Advise me when it Is desired to interest Detroit or Michigan university, for the idea Is a splendid one, and the management of the Pan American exposition Is deserving Of thanks and congratulations"
 ! MT. sLeRoy's suggestion regarding A. A. Stagg Is particularly apropos, in view of the recent appointment of the exposttion's g sport committee by President Milburn. The man chosen for chairman of that committee is Jesse c. Damn. who in former years shared honors with 6tagg when that Chris tian warrior was the greatest college ball pitcher in America. So terrific was Stagg 2 delievery in those days, that Damn was the only man In the college who dared to act as baekstop. a.

One of the important features of the Pan American exposition, to be held at Buffalo during the summer of 1901. will be a mag nihcent athletic field, or race course, which. though not as spacious. will compare in a general way with the great Colosseum of Rome.
 The drawings for this structure show that the enclosure will not only be enor- nous in size, but 1t will also be archbtectur- ally imposing. At the entrance there will be an ornamental building over 300 feet in length, surmounted by two towers of inl- posing height and the entrance opening out on the arena will be over 50 feet in width. When this entrance is passed the grandeur of the building will be manifest, for the oval in the center will be skirted by a quarter mile track and beyond that tiers of seats capable of accommodating 25,000 people will rise.
 It was decided some time ago that great pageants and reviews could be held in this enclosure, and when the suggestion was made that the worlds greatest athletes and sportsmen be brought together in a grand sport carnival, the suggestion was seized upon and voted good.
 Cycling Feature
 Recent developments in cycling make pos- sible the holding of the worlds champion ships in that branch of sport, for Chairman A. G. Batchelder of the National Cycle as- sociation is greatly in favor of bringing the meet to the exposition in 1901, and at the congress of the International Cyclists as- sociation, held at Paris on February 26, 1t was decided to retire the l.. A. W. from the association, and to admit the N c. A. in its stead.
 This action will insure the attendance of the crack racing men of America, France, England, Belgium, Holland, and Italy, if the proper steps are taken to secure them for 1901; the fast men of this country now making ready to start for France to ride the worlds championships of 1900 at the Paris fair.
 MT. Batchelder has communicated with officials of the Pan American exposition re- garding the matter, saying that he or his representative would sail for France in April, and that the exposition could be thus represented if desired.
 There is also a possibility that the trap shooting championships may be settled at the exposition. Harry D. Kihkover, the famous wing shot of Fredonia, is on record as saying that the grand American handi- cap can be secured for Buffalo for the conn

Sir Thomas Upton. in his letter TO Mr..
