Two more days and the agony

The approach of another season of out door athletics holds out the promise or greater activity and enthusiasm on the part of American feminine athletes than any previous season in history. The Yan- kee outdoor girl Is just coming into her own and the indications are that the spring, summer and autumn of 1904 will witness tremendous accessions to the ranks of the women who believe In good. vigorous, open-air exercise of one kind or or draw color to the cheeks and color to the eyes. Certainly there ought to be a. great if lively "missionary" work counts for aught, for every woman who tastes of the charm of the life of activity Tin the open" forthwith becomes an earnest advocate of any and all plans which will enable her sisters to share the new-found boon.
 It has been said that the bicycle was primarily responsible for introducing American women to a fuller knowledge of the delights of outdoors, but be that as it may. here can be little doubt that golf Is now the sport which holds first place as a vehicle for recruiting Miss Co. lumbia's athletic army. Women like golf for the reason that in the Scotch diver game In which they can command mascu- line respect unmixed with condescension,; The expert woman golfer is not compelled opponents as Is sometimes the case in lawn tennis. for it has been repeatedly proven that the highest refinements of CT, and even the. supposed physical su- periority of men is robbed of it's signlh- Whigham. a Scotch girl has, repeatedly driven golf ball over 200 yards.

line experts.
 How keen Is the feminine interest in which women champions have succeeded one another In the history of the sport in America. The first women's champion ship under the Jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association was won by Miss Beatrix Hoyt, and she repeated her tri- umphs in 1897 and 1898. The year follow ing. however, Miss Hoyt was badly beat en by Mrs. Caleb Fox, of Philadelphia, whose victory was especially interesting in that 1t proved that a woman need not begin young to succeed in golf, Mrs. Fox having passed middle age ere she began to play. Then came Miss Ruth Underhill daring player Miss Frances Griscom, thony and other remarkable players. Un- til within the. past year or two American women have been somewhat behind their is not remarkable, considering that the English girls are fully five years further advanced in knowledge of the game and through a general familiarity with other outdoor sports.
 Rowing has ever hao many devotees among the women of America, and this is a cause for congratulation, since 1t is, next to horseback-riding, probably the most nearly ideal exercise in point of number of different muscles brought into play. Of late years, however, the popu- 1arity of rowing is manifestly increasing. At many colleges for women rowing clubs have been formed, and an excellent illus tration of the competitive possibilities of the sport is afforded at San Diego, Cal. where the young ladies of the Normal School have formed several well-drilled boat crews and engage at frequent inter- vals in spirited rowing contests on the bay at San Diego.
 Surpassing rowing in feminine favor, however, is canoeing, which is coming to enjoy a tremendous vogue among Yankee it is not such violent exercise as rowing; 1t enables the devotees to look altogether

r .tation of the life-giving product from farm to consumer. Some Idea of the lengths to which we are going as bread- from the fact that there Is In Oklahoma a single wheat-field containing more than 5000 acres.
 To cut and shock the wheat grown in this magnificent field requires each year 200 men, 300 horses and mules and 22 of the largest size binders, and even this force must work night and day for 10 days to garner the golden grain In this vast area. It may be interesting to note that In good years this worlds biggest wheat, which sells for s65s000 or s70.000. and allowing as the cost of production and placing the wheat on board cars the seen that It's owners under such circum- stances net the handsome profit of s35, 900.

 There is no doubt that some measure of the fascination which canoeing holds for so many girls is due to the attractive decorative schemes which may be worked putin a canoe. A trim and graceful green canoe carpeted with a red velvet rug, adorned at either end with a small silk flag and half hlled with brilliant-hued silk-covered pillows. .unQuestionably makes a very pretty picture and one that ad- mirably sets off the charms of it's fair occupant. The time -honored prejudice against canoeing because of its supposed excessive dangers is largely disappearing as more stable canoes have made their appearance and the public has been forced to realize that with ordinary care, a canoe is safe as any other craft of its size. In so far the muscles utilized are concerned, canoeing is very much like sweeping, which every woman comedies to be decidedly violent exercise. Padding alike to rowing, induces an erect carriage and finely poised head, and full chest and well-poised shoulders.

 Thousands of women consider swim- ming the most delightful of all sports, seem to be attested by the fact that In several of the large cities swimming schools for women are now open all the year round, instead of the opportunities for learning this water-craft being re- strtcted, as was formerly the case. to those summer resorts where women in- structors are stationed during the vaca- ton season.

 Hockey, basketball and cricket are all coming to have many devotees among younger. women in America.

 The hunting exploits of Miss Mary Mannering.
