Eminent Government Employe.

Notable among the government EN-.
ployes in Washington is that scholar
ly gentleman, Mr.. Worthington Ford,
brother of the late Inflated novelist
Paul leicester Ford. Mr.. Ford is a
man Of wealth and culture, with a
beautiful suburban home at Cleveland
Park, near President Cleveland's old
home of Red Top" five miles from
the city. Here he entertains literally
and delightfully."-. Mr.. Ford is a biblio-
maniac and his house abounds in
priceless old volumes and manu-
scripts. For sheer love Of the work
this unusual man fills a comparatively
obscure position as chief Of the manu-
script division of the library of con-
gress, where he handles many of the
most valuable documents in the world.
Mr.. Ford is an authority on the value
and antiquity of rare writings. He
has as much literary genius as his
more famous brother Paul leicester,
the author of 1.-THE Honorable Peter
Sterling" although he is not a profes.
sional. He contributes considerably,
however, to the better magazines. The
interesting collection of manuscripts
from the library of congress now at
the jamestown exposition were select
ed and sent by Worthington Ford. He
is man Of uncommon personal
charms, who is much sought after in
the more cultured social circles at
the capital. Authors are his most fire.
quent house guests. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ford have recently been entertaining

nulet Andrews Oil, whose forthcom-
ing novel, "The Wife of Narcissus,"
will be one of the literary events Of
the autumn.

Mrs. Sheridan and Famous Sculptor
Differ In Opinion.

The failure Of ]. Q. A. Ward to salts.

design for the proposed statue Of Gen.
Sheridan to be erected in Sheridan
circle, in Washington, is not a sur.
prise to those who have followed the
case for nearly a score of years, nor
does it lessen the distinction of the
venerable sculptor who has produced
much worthy work and done more to
elevate his profession than any living
American. Mrs. Sheridan, like most
people who have lost their loved ones
by death, has idealized the manly at.
tributes of her distinguished husband.
To be acceptable design must real.

whom the original was Little PHIL
and the committees idea of art, as
we'll as the modeler's own conception
of the man to be honored by the efigy.
Too much care cannot be taken in
the selection of public monuments,
especially when designed for the ma
tional capital where the world expects
to find Americas best expression OF
her standards. ParadoXical as it may
seem, there is in Washington, at the
present time, much poor sculpture and
yet, nowhere can the history of Ameri
can sculpture be so well studied. St
Gaudens' masterpiece, the Adams me
mortal is there, also Daniel French's
charming Gallaudet group; the Me
haus' Hahnemann statue and the
Ward equestrian statue of Gen
Thomas, which is regarded as one OF
the best specimens of the kind in the
entire country.

Writer an Untrue Prophet.

Said a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly just before the civil war:
Washington is the elysium Of oddi.
ties, the limbo Of absurdities, an i'm.
broglio of ludicrous anomalies.
Planned on scale of SURPRISING
grandeur. it's architectural execution
is almost contemplate. It has a
monument that will never be finished,
capitol that lacks dome and a
scientific institution which does moth
ing but report the rise and fall of the
thermometer" The prospect must
have been discouraging at that time.
but what change we find to-day.
The scientific institute, whose ap.
parent inactivity was the cause of
such sarcastic comment, has given to
mankind the science Of meteorology.
The monument is completed and it is
the most imposing memorial ever
raised by man to the memory of q
leader of men. The capital has been
completed, and its dome, soaring
among the clouds, is crowded with
the emblem of freedom that sym.
bolizes the highest national attain.

SAW CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.
Pertinent Suggestion Made to Mem

There is member of congress from
southwestern state who is pretty
we'll known in Washington for his
delight in the pleasures of the table.
Particularly is he fond of roasted ears
of corn, delicacy he never omits
an opportunity to indulge.
On one occasion, so runs the story,
the congressman was in restaurant
in Texas, when the waiter placed
upon the table a plateful of the dish
mentioned. The statesman proceed
ed to help himself.
When he had consumed the fourth
ear of corn, he noticed that man
across the table was cycling him most
curiously. Thinking that some ex
PLANTATION was necessary, the repre-
sentative good-naturedly informed the
stranger that roasted corn was one OF
the most nutritious and palatable OF
foods. Then he gathered unto him
self a fifth ear. which he devoured
with great relish.

stand it no longer.

these rules. America, which is affiliated
with the foreign clubs on international
automobile questions has not done So
After considerable delay, the racing
board of the American Automobile as
sociation announced that the Vanderbilt
cup racing would conform with the for
eign standard on the weight specifica-
tion, but no notice was taken of the lin
itation in the cylinder bore. In other
words, Americas International race is to
be held under the obsolete weight re-
quirement. AS Victor Breyer the
French autoist, who laid out the Grand
Prix course this year, said last week
while in this city. this tendency to ad~
here to old conditions does not stand
for progress, and 1t Is evident that Amer
icas action and her lack of interest in in
ternational automobile affairs are not re-
garded with entire satisfaction abroad.
Americas position in international au-
tomobile affairs needs to be defined more
clearly than has been the case In recent
years. When the Gordon Bennett cup
race was instituted. and before the
American Automobile association was
known, the Automobile club of America
was recognized In Europe as the official
American body With the holding of the
Vanderbilt cup race by the American Au-
tomobile association q somewhat compli-
Gated situation arose, intensified by the
fact that the Automobile club of Amert-
ca has renounced all interest in road
racing affairs. The result of the recent
meeting in France would indicate that,
notwithstanding the statement to the
contrary, the American Automobile as
sociation is an unknown official quantity
abroad, while the Automobile club of
America, in so far az it attempts to rep
resent Americas automobile interests
abroad. is also drifting toward the mega
tive point.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-29

1900 there were twenty-four scratch con-
tests and the American team took eight
cen of them. This was perhaps the
strongest team that ever eft the United
States to invade foreign land. Among
the sprinters were such men as the great
Duffy, Jarvis Tewksbury and Burroughs.
Then there was Maxey Long, the great
est quarter-miler that ever lived, who
ran a quarter in AZ seconds. Kraenzlein.
the champion hurdler, whose records for
the 110 and the 220 hurdles still stand.
was also on this team. He was q great
broad jumper as well as hurdler, and
also holds the amateur record for that
event. Maloney and Mclean, both hur-
dlers and jumpers, were on this team.
Prinstein, the broad jumper, who is still
in the harness, was also q competitor,
and so was Baxter, the high jumper. In
Paris he did 6 feet inches in the high
jump. Sheldon and Flanagan. the weight
men, astonished the foreigners and won
as they pleased. In London at this same
time this team swept the Englishmen off
their feet, winning about everything in
sight.
At the last Olympian games in Greece
a year ago the American team again DEM
onstrated its superiority and won the
majority of events, most of them with
ridiculous ease.
The records of all these international
competitions show that America is well
ahead of the other countries when 1t
comes to producing athletes. The team
that will represent the Stars and Stripes
next summer will be up to the standard
and we may await with complancency
the outcome at London.

w. C. Vaughn announces that he ex-

Ruess claims to have the fastest stock

the Jack Rabbit is faster, the motor
lists would enjoy the contest.
Then there are the STANDARDIZATION,

greyhound and jack rabbit would not be
a new thing n Southern California, but
the crowd would be there.
There is one of the finest places for a
speed contest in Southern California
within four miles of the city, easily ac'
cessible by car lines or autos, which
would prove an ideal course. This is the
new Huntington boulevard to Pasadena.

and the cars pass the base of 1t on a
slight curve. The motorists could leave
their cars on tne OlQ TOduWdy lHdl was
abandoned when the boulevard was built,
and four suburban lines run nearby.
The grades that would be encountered
are not appreciable, and the turns can be
taken at high speed with good driving,
in fact they would add to the contest the
element of risk that adds attractiveness
to such contests.
If the affair was handled by the Deal
ers association iNwould afford the great
est opportunity possible for the maximum
number of people to see an automobile
contest.
Another strong point in favor of the
course is it's proximity to the garages,
which would obviate the necessity of
taking the cars from the shops to tune
them up.
With the minimum of expense and the
maximum of attendance it is probable
that when the matter reaches the Off
GERS of the Dealers association such
a contest may be arranged. 1t would cer-
tainly increase the interest in motoring
to a great degree and would afford the
general public an opportunity to learn
what the various makes and styles will
do on fast course.

way, but the public would rather see a

AMERICAN ATHLETES
HAVE WON ABROAD

THE eyes and thoughts of all the
amateur athletes are turned across
l. the Atlantic, for during the COM
ing summer the Olympic games will
take place in London, and. OF course
America will send representative
team across the pond to once more
show the Europeans what excellent
athletes we produce in the land of the
free.
These coming games make IL peru
nent to review past international con-
tests In which American amateur atn-
letes have taken part.
The first record we have of an Amer
lean athlete competing abroad is OF
the performances of George Seward OF
New Haven, Conn, who went to Eng
land in 1874 and beat every man VINO
dared run against him at all distances
up to a quarter of a mile, offering long
starts to any man living, beat all ex-
isting records at running short DIS
tances, at skating and at jumping on
skates. and finally returned to America
the acknowledged sprinting champion
of the world.
Deerfoot the great Seneca Indian
runner. went to England in 1858, ran
many races at distances near ten miles,
beat all the best English runners and
established the hour record for
twelve-mile run. The latter still
stands as the fastest In the world. He
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-29

ran in moccasins, with an awkward
stride and rolling gait, Outraged all
civilized ideas of training. but never
theless was the best man of his day.
Dudgeon Real Amateur
The first American amateur to COM
pete in England was probably Richard
H. Dudgeon, New York boy He was
genuine amateur and an enthusiastic
contestant, ever ready to run against
anybody on short notice, for any prize
from a diamond medal to bunch of
toothpicks His death left big gap
in the ranks of the old-fashioned anna
teurs, who loved sport for sports sake.
The first regularly organized invas-
ion of Great Britain by American anna
teur athletes was in the summer OF
1881. when L. e. Myers, Manhattan A.
c., and e. q. Merrill, Union A. c., Bos-
ton, Mass, went to England and com
peted in several meetings including
the championships. Merrill won sew
eral races and established new Eng
liz, walking records at one mile and
two miles. Myers was beaten but once
the 100 yards championship-but won
the quarter mile championship and es-
tablished q new worlds record for that
distance and several fresh English rec
ords for various distances.
A combination of athletes consisting of
W. II. Meek, f. p. Murray. A. A. Wal
dron and H. Fredericks went to England
in the summer of 1884 to attend the
championship meeting. Meek won the
seven-mile championship and estab-
lished several new records and was
unanimously voted the fairest fast walk
er ever seen In England. Myers won
everything in sight, astonishing his
critics and establishing new records by
the wholesale.
In the summer of 1887 five American
