The Saratoga Springs cure" ante
dated the settlement Of this commu
nifty by the white man, when the High
Rock spring was only bubbllng
springlet drunk at first by the Indians
as fresh water spring. Finding that
their health was improved by the wa
ter, they bethought them that IT must
have medicinal qualities, and from
that time all sick Indians were brought
TO High Rock spring for the healing
OF their Ills The outward and vis-
BILE sign that impressed the red men
was the deposit Of the salts Of the
water about the spring in the form OF
cone, called ufa. which still exists
and from which It received It's name
and through ana over which the water
bubbles to this day.
In 1900 the Congress spring was dis.
covered and became renowned the
world over ms a saline cathartic. This
combined with the sulphurous iron
water Of the Putnam spring made
Saratoga Springs famous as the lead
ing health resort Of the United States

WINS IN
4 GALE Of WIND
Skipper Stone Beats All of the
Wrens-Was a Most Ex-
citing Event.
lding of Boats in Freak Series.

The weather man turned right
around yesterday and, instead of teas
ing the small boat sailors with a dinkv
little attempt at an occasional puff of
wind, he sent out real northerly gale.
All the morning it blew and it blew,
and by the time the boats were ready
to start, the wind was coming down
over the hills with great force.
There We're four wrens in the race.
The Galloping Mary was not there. as
there was nobody to sail her, but Ray
Rietow's newly-launched wren was at
the starting line. Also there were
two Pearls. Luther Hough sailed the
Pearl, Slipper Stone was at the helm
of the Dancing Sally, Charlie Wilder
sailed his wren, and Kenneth Brown
the Roaring Gimlet, Ray Rietow steer
ed his wren, aud Max Bnlte skiupered
the Ivy.
At the start all the boats moored.
Those who had anchors dropped them
and put floats on their lines. At the
signal to go, everybody hoisted sail
and went speeding down the harbor
for the spar and bell buoys.
All the wrens got away clear, but
there was quite mixup between the
two Pearls, and Max Bolte drifted over
onto the sand before he got clear. The
Pearl soon began to gain on the wrens
and she took the lead before the first
round was finished
AS usual, Mr.. Stone sailed a remark
able race. He easily outdistanced all
the other wrens, and made it hard for
the winning Pearl. He again demon
strated the fact that he is the JIM
Dandy small-boat sailer of Honolulu
and has all the others beaten at every
point of the game.
The race was exciting all the way
through, The force of the wind made
it necessary to reef, and every craft
the Pearl. The gallant little craft
kept all her rags showing, and wealth
cred ii through in great shape.
While an interesting and properly
exciting event, the idea of the stand
ing start did not meet with general
approval, on account of the likelihood
OF collisions happening.
The next freak race viii be next
Sunday, starting at the same time un-
less the committee decides to have it
in the morning. Several of the small
boat sailors would like to have the
races in the morning. VIII McInerny
and Charlie Wilder have both said so;
the Galloping Mary is all for the morn
ing. and if the other sailors are agree
able, it would be q great convenience
to some of them to have the races
earlier. An expression of opinion on
this point is requested.

MORE INTEREST
IN ATHLETICS
Field and Track Events to Be
Revived by an English
Association.

LONDON, December 4-The Eng
lish Amateur Athletic Association has
started a campaign for more interest
in British field athletics. The neglect
of field athletics III the British Isles
has been pointed out time and again
in the press until finally the associa-
ton has been compelled to take some
steps. The central body of the asso-
citation recently voted the sum of $500
to its three branches, namely, the
North, the Nidlands, and the South.
Prizes will be purchased with these
amounts to stimulate interest in con
tests, and in addition the necessary
paraphernaiia, such as hurdles, shots,
hammers and so forth, will be pro-
vided.
England hopes to equal the United
States in field athletics, but the sport
, ing writer's point out that it Will re-
quire much hard work even to approach
the high standard set in the States.
| The colonies will be asked to brighten
up their field sports and competitions
will be held to breed Drawn and eX-
perience. Coaches are lacking. but a
movement is on foot to establish an
advisory club, which will provide com
petent men to lead the efforts of the
athletes.
The Amateur Athletic Association of
Great Britain will not send a team to
Athens in 1910 to compete in the
Olympic games. 1t was pointed out
that the young athletes could not be
expected to drop their business affairs
every two years for period of six
weeks or two months to compete in the
international games. Then too, train
ing takes up great deal of time, so
that the affairs of many of the men
suffer greatly. But in 1912 England
hopes to have the strongest team in the
world in the Olympic games.
International sports will be some
what dead in 1910 So far as known
now. England viii not try TO bring
back the international polo cup from
America. Sir Thomas Upton viii not
try to lift the international yachting
cup until the following year. Neither
America nor England will be repre-
scented in the Olympic games. 1t is
reported that the invasion Of American
horses will not be so strong next year,
owing to the different circumstances
States. There will be some interna-
tional boxing, but the big fellows will
not be in it. Field sports will not have
sufficiently advanced to hope for inter
national games in 1910 Our only hope
lies in the international collegiate meet.
We are now looking for Freddie
Welsh to fight and whip Battling Mel
son, acquiring to himself the title of
lightweig ht champion of the world. OF
course. Welsh is already lightweight
champion of England, but he wants to
get at Nelson Both are willing to
fight. but Nelson will not enter the
ring unless for forty-fve round bout.
At ten or fifteen rounds Welsh would
get the decision but it is really doubt
full if he could cope with the super
human staying powers of the Ameri-
eanized Dane.
