first of international shows, being fol-

eral of the best-known American owners
and breeders exhibited there. This COM
ing June will witness an even greater In
ternational competition in London for nine
days, $3.50, 900 being offered la prizes to
entice leading American exhibitors to
take part. That many will do 30 Is al
ready assured. Americans will be con-
spicuous among the Judges as well as tho
exhibitors, and many classes have been
added, bringing the total number up to
14o competitions In all for horses and
ponies of all approved breeds and types.
Alfred Vanderbilt, who Will be in Eng

they are In prime condition to do their
best. I knew him for many years In New
Haven and know that he Is a splendid
trainer. One reason for the selection of
q man like Murphy by this American
committee is the great protest which
arose after the meet at Athens, where
the athletes claimed they were given
virtually no care at all, the manager and
so-called trainer Halpin, who was re-
elected for the same position with this
years. team, being objected to and bit
teriy opposed on that and other grounds.
No attention was paid to these protests,
but Murphy was selected as trainer that
thsse might be no repetition OF the trou-
bic of two years ago. 1t has been decided
that winners OF first places Ia the con-
tests to try out Olympic candidates in
this country will not necessarily compose
the team, the committee reserving the
right Of anal selection, even after these
p-etings. d

for the competitors, for the officials and

the exhibition of sporting implements. A
turf arena TOO feet long by 300 feet wide
will occupy the center Of the building,
around this oval being a running track
of three laps to the mile. and outside Of
this a cycle track two and three-quarter

been ready for sometime and have been
declared the best in all England. Along

table, and the college swimmers settling
for the year their championships, as are
the college fencing experts-even to the
casual observer It must be evident that
the season OF 1908 IN sport and recre-
alton is coming into its own in most ag-
gressive fashion. The real start, Of
course, has preceded this month By sew
eral weeks for example, when on the
sands Of the world-famous ormond beach
course Bernin and Cedrino made notable
the meet Of 1908, which had been antici-
pated as certain to score very pro-
nounced failure. The mile and the 100
mile records, deemed unbeatable, and the
30O-mile mark likewise, fell before the
determined onsiaughts of these plucky
speed merchants. Think OF It'll averaging
n miles an hour for almost four hours,

which was what Cedrino did, beating,
hands down, the best previous average Of
10 miles an hour scored In the famous
Grand Prix on q circular track in France.
The performance of this italian, who has
long raced in this country, and that OF
Bernin, also we'll known, formed most
effective beginning of the season for the
automobile enthusiasts who have so much
to anticipate In the way Of sport In the
ensuing nine months in this country and
abroad.
Simplifying the Golf Rules.
While no changes In the actual playing
rules of the ancient Scotch game were
expected by the followers Of the sport In
this country or abroad as a result OF the
plea made by the United States Golf As-
sociation to the st. Andrews Golf Club
last fall a revised code, which has fo1
ito object q simplihcatiop of the wording
of the rules, was sought and obtained.
Recently the action Of the Scotch head
of the game was made known by tho
United States Golf Association, and 1t
was thereby learned that much more In
telligent definitions have been incorpo-
rated IN the playing rules, 30 that there
will not be the doubt and uncertainty in
regard to the right or wrong Of points
that have been much debated by contend
ing players in the past. Changes In the
rules were not needed, all golf players
know that, the general revision in 1897
having settled for all time much-mooted
points, and the changes in minor details
which the action of the American players
in their appeal to st. Andrews brought
about are really hardly worthy of notice.
At this time It is rather amusing to
comment on the attitude of the English

Spain's Sportsman King.

OF all the crowned heads Of Europe
who are sportsmen, and most or them
DO indulge in recreation In one form or
another, there is none more indefatigable
or better all-around enthusiast than
King Alfonso, who has been so much
In the public eye In the past few weeks
through the threatened assassination OF
the Spanish King on the occasion Of his
recent visit to Barcelona. This visit he
did not postpone, despite the threats
against him and the advice of his coun-
selors advocating a postponement of the
same. He showed In that determination
to go to Barcelona and carry through his
plans tho same spirit he has displayed
In his sports. He Is an ardent motorist,
aud before his marriage was one OF the
most reckless speeders In all Spain. He
shoots splendidly, sails a yacht with
skill, as he showed when the American
5onderklasse boats visited Spain last
year; rides horseback and drives In dar-
ing fashion, besides doing many other
things that make him the welLrounded
sportsman that he Ia.
Rowing at Princeton.
Inasmuch as this spring for the hrst
time Princeton will have a real crew.
owing to the kindness Of Andrew Carne-
gle In donating pond on which to row,
there is quite naturally a lot of interest
In what the Princetonian hedglings DO.
II they finally decide to take up rowing
this spring-that is, compete outside Of
their own bailiwick-they will probably
make their debut at the American Row
ing Association regatta on the Schuylktll,
May 2S. There is practically no chance
OF the orange and black being repre-
sented at the Poughkeepsie races or at
New London, the efforts Of those in con-
troll OF Princeton's .aQuatics being rather
to develop four good strong class crews
for the college regatta in June. Princeton
alumni already approached will. doubt
less, aid the cause by contributing money

hess Princeton's invasion Of the intercol-
iegiate rowing contests.
