SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
RonRb Training of the Natives of
the Canary Islands.


IN this age Of athletics one might
think that no peoplc ever showed 81
much interest In fcats 81 muscular
might and skill M those who have per.
fcctcd football, but modern games and
even the gaEics Of tie Greeks at Olym.
pia may have been more than matched
by the sports Of peoples who are now
held in little esteem. A writer ON the
Canary islands gives nm account Of
their athletic training which makes
even the college giants OF today seem
weak and cGfcminatc.
The Canary islands were subjected
by Spain about the time Columbus dis
due solely 10 the superiority Of Euro.
pean weapons and not 10 better skill
and prowess. The native soldiers were
trained athletes, developed under a
system which held athletic sports an
important business, like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have left us nc
counts Of the sports Of the Islanders.
From babyhood they were trained 70
bc brisk I'm self defense As soon rs
they could tOddlc the children were
pcltcd with mud balls that they might
learn how protect themselves. When
they were ooys stones and wooden
darts were substituted for the bits Of
clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudlmcnts Of warfare which en-
ablcd them curing their wars with the
Spaniards to catch i'm their hands IN,
arrows shot from their enemies cross
bows.
After the conquest Of the Canaric,
II native Of the islands was seen at Sc
Vile who for shilling let man
throw at him ns many stones as he
pleased from distance OF eight PAGES.
without moving his left foot he avoid
cd every stone.
Another native used 10 defy any one
10 hurl mn orange nt him with 50 great
rapidity that he could not catch Il.
Three men tried this, each with a
dozen oranges. and the Islander caught
every OranCc. As n further test h
hit his antagonists with each Of the
oranges.

THE TIMES learns with much re-
gret that William A. III. Grant has
severed his business relations with
this section of the city. Mr.. Grant
has been located in OlneyviIle nearly
twenty years and during that time
he has worked for the advancement
and improvement of this locality.
He has been public spirited citizen
in word and deed. His work for
the Olneyville Free Library Associ-
alton and in the Olneyville Business
Mems Association have been intelll-
gent and unselfish. The very gem
eral expressions of regret at his de-
parture are, we are sure, as genuine
as they are deserved. We are glad
that the people of Olneyville appre-
ciate the true worth OF the man and
know that we voice the feelings OF
good will of his friends and associ-
stes.
