the finest finishes that has marked the
entire meet.
Lightbody, Werner and Hearn all of
the c. A. A., were we'll punched at
the beginning of the last lap. 1t was
seen that they weee moving at Won
jerful rate of speed but when three
quarters of the way around the track
on the last lap, Lightly developed a
hurst of speed that left his eliminates
several yards in the rear and brought
the audience to its feet. His time
was 4:05 2-5.
There was an unusually fine fidld
in the pole vault contest. Five
men broke the Olympic record before
the event narrowed down to the final
jumps, with three men eligible. Chas.
E. Dvorak, OF the G. A. A., then dem
onstrated his class and from an IL
foot mark he competed alone, th'eA
other four men being tied at thaI
mark Dvorak's best was IL feet 8
inches breaking the Olympic record OF
ten feet 8 $40 inches held by L. r.
Baxter, of the university of Pennsyl-
vania, made at the Paris Olympic.

the G.. N. Y. /. A. A, and Ralph w.
Rose of the G.. A. A. tied for first
place with throws of 128 feet 10 IL
inches, breaking the Olympic record
by more than ten feet. Splitting points
is not allowed in an Olympic cham
pionship, the men were forced to
throw off the tie. The best that Rose
could do was 40 feet. 6 ga inches.
while Sheridan, although beating him,
also showed a reversal of the dis
lance that gave him first place was III
feet, 10 IA inches.
The New York Athletic Club won
the Olympic championship with 90
points. A protest has been made
by the c.. A. A. against several en-
tries, and the award of the champion
ship cup has been withheld.
The New York Athletic Club team
won the four mile international team
race. Time, 21:17 4-5.
The Olympic lawn tennis tourna-
ment which has been in progress on
the stadium courts all week, closed to-

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
AT Old Point Comfort a Play Full
OF "Heart Interest"

OF all the ceremonies of q day at a
military post, the most touching and
thrilling is the beautiful ceremony ac-
companying the lowering of the flag.
As the sun sinks to rest. day dies amid
the boom of the cannon, the blast of
the trumpet, the music of the band,
the present arms" of the soldiers,
the lifting of hats by the people and
the sun-kissed flag creeps gracefully
down the pole. This is the climax of
Daniel l.. Harris new play AT Old
Point Comfort" And what a human
story this play tells. Human because
every character runs the gstmut OF hu-
man emotion; there is love, hate, re-
venge, forgiveness and yet the play
flows along as peacefully as life in the
romantic corner where the scene of
the play is laid. 1T begins on the
lawn OF a Virginia home where the
flowers bloom and the increase fills the
air. 1t flows on into corn field where
the birds sing overhead, and ends in
! the romantic Fort where the differ
ences of nation have been settled
and where more hearts have held
sweet communion than in any other
resort in the world. 1t is a drama
of love, heroism and romance, con-
tanning a graphic picture of the Won
derful secret service system of this
government, and the sacrifice Of the
men in Uncle Sans employ. Despite
the surroundings it is rot a military
play, although Fortress Monroe frames
one of its most interesting acts. Into
this Fort for years the bridegroomS
of our country have wandered, on its
historic SattlementS they have stood
hand in hand gazing out over historic
Hampton Roads forming plans for
their future. TO them at such an hour
the world is all sunshine and promise
and in this play the sunshine and
promise follow the characters as they
walk hand and hand out through the
massive gate. 1t is restful and sooth-
ing. this beautiful play which will
carry one back from the winters
night to the golden summers of long
ago. There is no great Scenical
climax, no narrow escapes from
burning buildings, no heroic leaps

TRIpPED UP YOUNG GIRL,
Arrest of Handsome Italian Who
Looks Like a Hero i'm Grand
Opera.
(Atlanta constitutional

A handsome Italian, who looks like
tenor in IL grand opera troupe, and
who gives his name as r. Sanford,
was arrested yesterday morning by
Inspector Wasser, of the city sanitary
department, on the charge of insult
ing two young ladies.
officer Wasser says that Sanford
followed Miss Anna Wasser the Off
GERS daughter, and Miss Florence
Solomon for several weeks every time
they appeared on the streets, and he
at last became SO bold that he spoke
to them, and finally he tried to trip
the young ladies when they passed
by, placing his foot where they would
stumble over it. A day or two ago
he carried the tripping SO far that
Miss Solomon was thrown down. The
young ladies hesitated about making
the matter known, fearing there would
he bloodshed, and hoping that they
would see the last of their tormentor,
When Miss Solomon was tripped up
last week she and Miss Wasser could
refrain no longer from making the
affair Known to their parents, and
measures were at once taken to catch
the man.
Yesterday morning Sanford was
seen passing the home of Miss Solo
mon at No. 40 Woodward avenue.
Officer Wasser lives but a short dis
lance away, at No. IL Eugenia street,
and he was quickly summoned. He
tracked the spotted man to boarding
house at the corner of Cooper street
and Woodward avenue, and arrested
Sanford on the description furnished
him.
AS soon as Miss Solomon saw San
toro she identified him as the man
who had been following and annoying
her and Miss Wasser
Upon this evidence officer WasseT
took Sanford to the police barracks
and locked him up with instructions
that he be liberated only on large
and good bond
officer Wasser says that when he
arrested Sanford the latter said: You
don't know that you are fooling with
AN anarchist"
Sanford claims he said: "You don't
know you are fooling with an artist. "
The prisoner denies that he ever
followed or insulted Miss Wasser and
Miss Solomon or any other young
ladies.
I'm an artist, "Nhe said, ''and l am
a sculptor. l work for marble
dealer and carve monuments for him
have lived in Atlanta for two
months and came here from New
York. 1 have resided in America for
eleven years, my birth place beng IN
Italy. / have never insulted any Ia
dies anywhere"
Sanford is a very handsome young
man, with curly black hair, and a
regulation tenor mustache. He
dresses we'll and has very affable man

(Philadelphia Ledger.)

philadelphia Ledger
A snowstorm, fresh from the Rocky
Mountain region, descended upon this
city Saturday, making a white Christ
mas and causing much discomfort TO
travellers.
Three and three-tenths inches of
snow fell in the twenty-four hours
preceding s o'clock Sunday night.
This makes a total of 1873 inches this
month. 1t is the greatest fall for De-
cember since 1884. and more snow is
predicted for to-day and tomorrow.
The advance wave of the storm
reached here about Z o'clock on Christ
mas Eve. Starting in the Rocky
Mountains three days ago it sped
across the continent, leaving in its
wake a blanket of snow.
The full force of the storm struck
the city early yesterday morning. A
northeast wind, blowing at the rate of
eighteen miles an hour, sent the flakes
flying. Storm signals were up along
the New England coast, and shipping
men here were notified to be careful
about venturing out.
All Saturday night and all day Sum-
day the snow fell steadily At 8
o'clock that night the temperature was
"a degrees, and a fine rain replaced
the snow and continued through the
night.
In the homes Of the poor the storm
was viewed with alarm, as there has
been much suffering from the cold ow-
ing to a scarcity of fuel.
Christmas also found greater New
York in the grasp of a blizzard that
swept not only the city, but the entire
State and all of New England beside
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 1t was
the fierceSt tempest Of this season.
