tional competition is safeguard

upon the defeats sustained Uy the Brit

For compensation in all these de-
feats we need look no further than en-

NEW YORK. Aug. 10-One Of the
greatest meetings Of athletes ever held
in this country win be the champion
ships Of field and track athletics at
jamestown. September and Z.
Not only will the United States send
its best athletes. but Canada also will
enter. which means that the meet will
be one of the greatest intersecuonRl
meets in A. A. L. history. 1t is certain
20 be in the nature Of a long step for
ward In the right direction for such
Bpcrt. AS a result of the great inter

Junior and Senior Events.
For each of the divisions Of athletes

senior championship 10 their credit, and
the seniors-the program VIII be the
same, consisting Of sixteen events cal

tests of skill and Erawa and endurance
are the most coveted trophies in the
amateur world In this country, for a
man who can sport the gold medal en-
blematic of the championship Of the
United states Is shown to all men TO
be an athlete Of great ability
TIE programs events are as follows;
Runs at 100, go, 44O $50 yards. one mile
and five miles; hurdle races at 40 and
p2O yards: running high jump, running
broad Jump. pole vault for height,
throwing 56-pound weight, throwing
16-pound hammer, putting 16-pound shot,
and throwing the discus both free and
Greek style.
Chieago's Strong Entry.
Outside Of the New York clubs the
strongest competitor IN the games will
probably be the Chicago Athletic Asso-
citation. The wearers of the cherry circle
won the national championship games
at the Lewis and Clark exposition in
Portland.
California, too, is going to make
strong bid for a place up near the fore
IN the final list of winners, and has
picked a dozen mighty men to struggle
for the glory Of the Golden State. The
Olympic A. C. OF San Francisco. which
is TO send the team to represent the
State, has many good men.
OF the Eastern clubs which are u

tremely likely tc give the leaders a close
run for the majority of points.

Derby Winners Mates.
Upton Waiting.

LONDON, Aug. 1o.-News of the
breakdown Of Richard Croker's Derby
winner. Orby, has been received with
much regret by the entire horse racing
world.
1t Is hoped that the great colt Will
come back TO form before the end Of
the season. In fact, DR.. McCabe, his
trainer, is confident he viii. but the
best opinion is that 1t will be a good
while before Orby races again One
thing is certain, Mr.. Croker Will not
permit him 10 be sent 10 the post until
he is thoroughly ft. The British turf
is beginning TO wake up TO the fact
that the former Tammany boss has
some other pretty good horses which
are likely to win big races.
The Illustrated Sporting News recently
sent Mr. O'Donoghue over 20 Sandyford
To look over the Croker establishment
OF Orby he writes:
Orby Likes Petting.
"Orby was led out from his luxurious
box. and did his little walk round
with an air of conscious superiority. No
description Of the lovely colt Is needed,
but his owner pointed out TO me during
my survey some little traits and par
ticuIars which have never got into any
descriptive account Of him
'.The most striking OF these is his
fancy for having his tongue stroked and
'petted.' He folds the member over like
an omelet. and protrudes few inches
for manipulative attention This he likes

nose over the high rail OF ms ooorWaII'

ings and tongue pats ana kisses, tnat,

dropped and q general air OF beatitude
which was most fascinating.
Temper Completely Changed.
"Dr. McCabe mentioned that when the
horse was placed under his charge he
was very i'll tempered and was suffering
from diabetes. He had never won any
thing. either in Ireland or England. Now
he Is truly a great horse.
The great difference has been brought
about by consistent kind treatment and
gentle speaking. no attendant being ever
allowed to shout at occupants of stalls
at Glencairn."
OF others in the Croker string Mr..
O'Donoghue writes:

Twenty-seven entries have already
been received for the Marathon swim
ming race Of the American Life-SayfnR
Society. to be held tomorrow. from the
Battery to Coney Island. and the event
promises TO be the greatest endurance
test ever witnessed in this country. For
the first time in history, the out-and-out
speed swimmers will take part in the
race, and 1t will be interesting to watch
the outcome of the contests between the
wielders Of the oid-fashioned strokes
who make q specially Of long-distance
swimming, and the exponents of modern
trudgeon and crawl. Both factions will
be represented by the best in the coun-
try, and the followers OF each school
are confident Of proving superior.
The speed stroke advocates will have
in the water the two leading American
distance men. II. ]. Handy. of the Nil
