It is very noticeable that in competi- tion you will see as many forms as you see competitors. The single turn used by so many men is fast growing into disuse. It seems that the one and one- half turn, regardless of position in de- livery, is just as far from the correct position. Every athlete in the westwho has gained distinction th ,nksImore of his delivery than he does of his turn. He seeks to acquire a proper position, the proper angle, and, most. of all, to start his discus so that it will meet with the least resistance. The expert discus thrower causes his discus to revolve so swiftly in the air that any slight de- feet in delivery will be largely over come. consider that the discus event is one of the prettiest of all the field events. It does not take strength to throw the discus. It is a trick. To see it sail the whole long distance is the delight of every -thrower's life. My form is different from that of any other man whom have ever met at any track meet I have shown it to all those who have asked me, but none of them seems able to master it.. I have shown  them all save the one little thing which cannot be shown-that is, how to make' the discus sail. If strength was all that was required to throw the discus, would never hold the records that do now. Like most of the other athletic. sports it Is not all strength, 1t is skill. Funny how happened to begin throw ing the discus. went down O the field one day when I was a soph' ore. had no idea of ever entering an ath- letic sports. I saw some of the boys using the discus and tried to othrow 1t. I threw 1t all right-40 feet Six weeks later broke the state record at the state meet with throw of 113 feet 6 inches. Just the old old story of the man fallen into his right place. That Is the only branch of athletics ever did anything in at all. The same year set the conference record of 118 feet g inches, and last year. my second with the dis GUS, threw it 125 feet inches at the state meet"

A Bright Dog All the Same.

Hard by where some men were at work digging a cellar in New York city, there was dog, bull terrier lying comfortably, half asleep, in the shade under a tree. The dog belonged to one of the naen employed on the job and it was taking life easy while it's master worked. But when the whistles blew for 12 o'clock the bull terrier jumped to it's feet and made it's way straight to it's master, halted before him and looked up at him with an ex- pression and manner that said as plainly as it could have been expressed in spoken words: Don't you hear the whistle? It's time to eat dinner" The dog knows the significance of the whis- tie perfectly, and it does this every noon. Maybe the bull terrier Is think ing in this twice for itself and once for its master; but it's a bright dog all the same.

Representatives. of old EIi Make ~ Great Showing on Athletic Field.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 30. < The sons of Yale may well be proud of the showing their athletes made at Frank lin field, where they met the best ath- letes of more than twenty different col leges in the final contest of the Inter collegiate Athletic associations annual track and field championships and, as last year, carried off first honors. Their total was 34 1-3 points. Harvard came next with % 1-3 points and Pennsyl- vania close after with 24. Princeton and Cornell tied at 15.' The other uni versailles to score were as follows: Syr- acuse, 10 1-3; Colgate, 6; Columbia, 5; Amherst, 4; Haverford and New York university, 2 each.
 The day was perfect for the sport. A bright, clear blue sky greeted the large attendance. that gathered. Two new records were made and one was equaled.
 Probably the most notable showing was made by Schick, Harvards star sprinter. Tn the 220 yard dash he beat Cartmell of Pennsylvania for first place by three inches and he also cap tured the 100 yard dash. Arthur Duffy failed to take part in the semifinal heats of the latter contest, saying that he had sprained a tendon in his leg. His failure to compete caused much disappointment. The spectators were free in their remarks that he was afraid to take part. Yale received a great setback in the 100 yard dash when Torrey and Low were beaten in the finals.
 ScLooIboy Golfer Beat Cracks.
 NEW YORK, May 3O.-The defeat of Percy Pyne, second, by Harold Wilcox in the final round of the metropolitan championship at Garden City crowned a week of unexpected happenings in that rather remarkable tournament. The match was at thirty@six holes, and Wilcox won by up and 4 to play. The fact that 8 schoolboy should win a championship representing the su- premacy of fifty-four prominent metro politan golf clubs is an indication of the advance in golf among the younger coterie of players and the ultimate re- tirement from the class of cup winners of many who have hitherto been re garded as the star men. Wilcox is student at St. Paups school, Garden City, and type of the 1.-the, easy play CT, who holds thirty-six hole round merely warming up.'

 those days is gleaned the fact that he was model peace officer. He rarely made an arrest, but. when necessity compelled him to show his authority he was a fearless man. 1t was his rule to always use persuasion instead of force, and the police records of Henderson fail to show a record of his ever clubbing a prisoner. Young gave up his office and got out of politics in Henderson along about 1878, when he secured an interest in the old hurdle horse Glasgow. From his winnings on that horse he purchased the then noted Beatitude and soon had money enough together to control in the early sos about the most extensive string of horses then racing inthe west. Bootjack, Bancroft, Belle of the High lands, Ascender, Monogram, Boatman, Bondholder and Vera are few of the great horses he raced at that time, and what they won, with the sale of his en- tire racing string finally to R. c. Pate, of Mexican racing. fame, he returned to Kentucky and purchased the McGrath-' ian farm from the heirs of the late Price McGrath in the fall of 1882. He came back on the turf in 1885 and had a most prosperous season with Ten Booker, Troubadour, Bankrupt, Boot black and other cracks, but the follow ing spring he sold out his stable once more and has since confined his atten- tions to supplying the yearling thor oughbred market with produce, He is, now, barring J. B. Haggin, the most ex- tensive breeder of thoroughbred horses in the world. He has around $50 mares, between 15 and 20 stallions and owns over 2,20O acres of blue grass land. Young is now easily a millionaire, as his land is of the best and his stallions and mares picked from among the stars of the breeding and racing world. He is man remarkable for carrying out any, thing he undertakes.

WANT MORNING TRAIN.
r. p. 4. VIII Endeavor to- Get Sea-
board TO Run Early Train Out OF
Wilmington.

Not only does the fact Of the Sea-
board not having an early morning
train out of this city inconvenience
the citizens of Wilmington, bu; it is
also a great annoyance 10 the travel
ing men,
1t was learned yesterday that the
Travellers Protective Association had
taken up the matter and that they
would make an effort at once 30 get
an early morning train out of Will
mington.
A travelling man was in the city
last night who wanted to get TO Ham,
let today, but with the present sched-
ule he cannot leave here until $3.50
this afternoon, so the day is lost to
him. Il certainly looks like The Of
ficiais of the Seaboard would endeavor
to n slight degree TO meet the require
mentS made upon them. The placing
of train on the road that would
leave here early in the morning would
be only a matter of justice 10 both
the citizens of Wilmington and the
travelling men.
Ii the Corporation Commission can
force roads in other sections Of the
state to furnish the necessary trains
to accommodate the travelling public
it certainly looks like the Seaboard
could be required to furnish a train
that would leave Wilmington early ia

Washington. February iG.-The

law which. added to those preceding
are making up a formidable case that
may Justify the United States govern

at Samana dated February 9th. to
this effect
insurgents entered our consulate
at Samana with armed force and took
two refugees out
The state department promptly
communicated this information to the
navy department, with a request that
proper action be taken by the naval
authorities tO protect the United
States consulate. This was promptly
transmitted to Admiral Wise, and it
is the belief that he will not protect
the consulate but will demand the
punishment of the perpetrators Of
this outrage, and If the provisional
government is not able to do this. he
will employ the United States naval
force to chaStiSe the insurgents.
