A Celebrated Roman Eater.

Touching the matter Of eating. the
stories told by the old chroniclers and
historians of the abnormal appetites Of
certain Roman and oriental men Of
note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells
Of Solman. caliph in the eighth CEN
fury. who died of indigestion in his
camp near Chalcis, In Syria. just as he
was about to lead an army Of Arabs
against Constnntinople. He had emp
tied two baskets Of eggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately. and
the repast was finished With marrow
and sugar In a pilgrimage to Mecca
the same caliph had eaten with impu-
nifty at a single meal 20 pomcgranates,
kid, 6 fowls and huge quantity Of
the grapes of Tayef
Such statement would defy belief
were not others Of a similar character
well avouchcu. Louis XIV could hard
ly boast of an appetite as ravenous as
Soliman's, but he would eat at n sitting
four platefuls of different soups, a
whole pheasant. a psrtridge. plateful
of salad, mutton hIshed with garlic.
two good sized slices of ham, dish Of
pastry and finish with fruit and sweet
meats.

Other gentlemen presently arrived,
and having partaken of a glass or two
of wine while they listened to Dayid's

OUR AMBITION

1t looks now as though the TELE-

realized The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize

offer.
1t is probable that all OF our read.
ers have complete understanding of
the conditions OF the c. ntest but In
case they have not it may be we'll to
say that there is no long drawn out
set Of complicated rules and regula-
tiunS.
In brief it is as follows: - "For
every subscription Of the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this office certiti-
Gates will be issued in manner SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range cDnte,t; for every

Der OF votes in proportion according
to the tabulated form below printed.
The person who shall have presented
the largest number of these votes at

The winner Of this contest shall
have the privilege of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her said perseussto go to Buffalo at
the expense of the TELEGRAM in The
the same way.
But this does not end the affair by
any means. The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out "a loser. We
therefore make further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside OF the one

the Exposition. If thore are 80 who
take advantage OF this extraordinary
offer it will please the m inagement of
the TELEGRAM 80 times more than If
there is but one. The more the
merrier'' Don't say you must stay
at home from the Exposition betau>e
you can't afford to 60. That would
be ridiculous when such an offer as
this one is staring you in the face.
During the series Of Quaker Range
contests gwen last winter, the small
est number OF votes presented by
winner was % 600; the largest was
about $4,000 | this COZ test you
have to turn in only $4,000 to be
winner, and this means the securing
of the equivalent Of fifty new suoscri

WHY THE REQUEST OF YALE AND HAIR
WARD DOES NOT MEET WITH FAVOR
London, May 20.-According to private cable
dispatches from NeW-York, the proposal of the
English universities TO hold an athletic meeting
in Montreal before they meet the Americans in
NewYork is opposed by Harvard and Yale
whose athletes want their meeting with the OK
ford-Cambridge team to first In ref
erence to this a prominent oxford official said
Oxford and Cambridge are not in the least
likely to give way on this point. Quite apart
from the probability that Toronto and McGill
may prove weaker combination than Harvard
and Yale. and therefore oxford and Cambridge
would naturally prefer in their semi-trained
state to compete with the less formidable op-
ponents first and leave their more formida BILE
rivals for later day, the oxford and Cambridge
men would be perfectly justified in protecting
their own interests before anything else We
are receiving a continuous stream OF advice
not to court certain defeat by doing the bulk
of our preparation in the vicinity of New-York
during the intense heat Of August and most of
September. Therefore are seeking more in
yigorating quarters in Canada Will complete
training there. and will visit New York at
the latest moment possible before the day of
the sports, which may be deferred TO Sep
tember %. If the Canadian sports fixed for

Yale and Harvard have not formally protested

the Canadian university men first. They asked us
our opinion Of that arrangement. however, and we
told them would rather have them come to
New-York first for the reason that it would un-
Goubtedly detract from the interest OF the Yale
Harvard games if the British athletes competed
elsewhere in America first. ! hardly think that
matter will become a strong Issue between us how
ever. because 1 cannot believe they will insist l
don't think we shall be insistent, either. The date
