Poor Conductor.

81 could not sit on the car and
conductor who was much smaller
than either of the men, so | jumped
over the seats and licked them both"
Mrs. Valentine, of Hoboken, N. j.,
thus told of her exciting experience.
She was riding on a Second avenue
surface car. Two obstreperous pas
sengers refused to permit the con-
ductor to close the door, and when he
persisted assaulted him. Mrs. Valen-
tine came to his assistance and
knocked one of the fighters to the
floor. That settled him and he fled to
a nearby saloon.
She then went at the other man,
and he, too, was forced to beat re-
treat. Mrs. Valentine then jumped
off the car and followed the man into
the saloon, where she held him until
policeman arrested him. Outside
the conductor pointed out the other
man and he was arrested also. The
next day the men were fined SIS each.
81 can fight as well as any man
of my size" said Mrs. Valentine, "for
! have been training all my life.
am a great believer in physical cul-
ture for women, and exercise every
morning and evening. This is the
first time, however, that | have ap-
piled my abilities as boxer to any
practical purpose" She is about 25
years old.

Sport of Kings.

The first yacht race ever recorded
was that sailed in 1862, when Charles
IL. matched a yacht of 25 tons called
the jamie against a small Dutch
yacht, under the duke of York, from
Greenwich to Gravesend, when the
king in his capacity of amateur helms
man was successful in beating the
boat steered by his brother, says a
London newspaper. The first yacht
known was the Mary, which was pre-
sented to Charles II. by the Dutch.
Hitherto even the name hau been un-
known in England, and it is only dur
ing the last 100 years that yacht rae.
ing has become at all general.

university athletic committees to in
vestigate the entire matter of inter-
collegiate competitions, has just been
made public. The report states that
athletic sports occupy dispropor-
tionate amount of attention in many
of our universities, colleges and
schools, and the main end of all rules
must be to prevent outdoor sports
and physical exercises from interfcr-
ing with the mental and moral at
tainments. 1t seems far wiser to
mend abuses by guidance and regu-
lation than to end them by the aboli-
tion of the sports.
1t is obvious that all colleges and
universities should have requirements
ns TO the scholarship of their teams.
Every member should be in good
stording. No student should be per-
mitted to make athletics the prin-
cipal occupation of his college life.
Only students who are genuine mem
bers of university should be per-.
mitted to appear in public exhibitions
and gate money considerations sh,rId
be wholly eliminated from the games.
The committee considers that there
Is no reason why college teams, or
even parts of college teams, should be
assembled for practice during the
summer; and when they receive
money benefit by having even their
expenses paid, the practice trenches
dangerously near professionalism. 1t
would be better if all universities and
colleges could he brought to give up
even the preparatory practice two
weeks before the term opens.
Another practice which the commit
tee considers Objectionable is the in
terference with boys who have de-
veloped taste for athletics in the
preparatory schools. In many cases
correspondence is opened by graduate
committees in search of athletic ma
terial, or emissaries are sent out and
influence thrown around schoolboys
to induce them to enter certain insti-
tutions. Sometimes even financial aid
is promised toward an education.
Some of our universities are reported
to have a regular system of looking
up likely athletes among the schools.
The committee believes that the
large sums of money taken in at
many of the football games form a
constant temptation to extravaganza
and to the Illicit use of money, and
recommends that gate money should
be reduced to minimum by agree
ment of all universities. A set of
rules is also submitted and recon-
mended for adoption. Many of these
are already in force at the principal
universities, but, as the committee
remarks, "their enforcement is not all
that could be desired"
