From the 81. Louis Globe-Denoerdt.
A maj connected with one Of the largest

that many gems are spoiled by the wearers

There Is the turq uoise, for instance"
said he. NO turquoise ought ever TO be
exposed to the action Of soapy water, as
when the hands are washed. The best

Haven or Cambridge.
For the Britons the first string will be
p. L. 8. Lloyd Of Oxford, a man at all times
to reel of his mile in 4 minutes "a seconds.
He secured the Oxford ambridge title
in 4 minutes 2S seconds on a soggyp path.
Second to the Oxonian on this occasion
was H. G.. Weber OF Cambridge. and his
time was 4 minutes 2S 3-5 seconds, so hat
either will be found a dangerous opponent
no matter what conditions may prevail
Among the Yale-Harvard aspirants for
distance fame there is no nj likely to put
up much of a battle against the Oxford
Cambridge dry bobs." w. S. Minot, the
Harvard captain, seems the only runner
likely to produce any sort Of respectable
opposition. At the Yale-Harvard dual meet
last year he went the mile in 4 minutes
80 seconds, but a couple Of weeks later
in the intercollegiate championships he
was only fourth, being several yards of
to Guy Haskins OF Pennsylvania in 4 min
utes 20 les seconds.
In the recent meet with Dartmouth
Minot did not show the improvement which
an additional years experience would sup-
gest, and his time for the mile was 4 min
utes IL 1-5 seconds. Hadden Of Harvard
in the dual meet with Yale this year went
the distance in 4 minutes IS 1-5 seconds.
Seemingly the best man at Yale is r. A.
Splitter, who won the mile in the spring
games in 4 minutes 40 seconds, though
when properly tuned up later he may better
this time by several seconds. j. w. Will
Jams and W. c.. Gibson are the other milers
OF any account at Yale, and they run some
where around 4 minutes IS seconds.
1t is singular that the mile, the inter-
national record OF which is 4 minutes 81 is
seconds, by F. G. Cockshot of Cambridge
at Berkeley Oval in 1901, is the event at
which the Americans nave made the poorest
showing. In short, at the half mile, mile
OF two miles, no Yankee collegian has yet
shown his heels to the Englishmen, nor is
there the least hope that this year will be
an exception.

later on, when properly wound up, he
will be yards faster. Young is almost

was at Muirfield in that ear when A. J.
