Dan Ahearn Of the Irish American Ath-
letic Club, New York, who has broken
the running hop. step and jump record
several times in the last month. only to
be deprived OF the mark owing to some
technicality. again established a new
mark Saturday at the Clare Mems games
at Celtic Park that seems to have a
chance to stand.
Ahearn made a leap Of 80 feet Il,
inches, which is little less than an inch
better than the mark which has been
held by Dan Shannon OF Ireland for the
last twenty-one years. Ahearn made the
record In his first jump In the final. II
the record cannot be accepted by the
Amateur Athletic Union, the club is likely
to get into trouble.
Joe Bromilow Of the Irish-American
Athletic Club won the mile handicap with
the aid of a 25-yard allowance In the fas,

ENGLISH SONGS.
Old Music of Merry England Might
Be Made Popular.

The great crowds which attend the re-
curing national sangerfests show how
firmly the German folk-song has estab-
lished itself i'm the affections Of the Amer
lean people 1t is not Germans only who
go to the sangerfests as listeners, and 1t
is not only Germans who take an active
part in them. One of the best choruses
in the Saengerbund, we are informed. is
made I'D of Welsh coal miners living In
PENNSYLVANIA In order that they may
sing the beautiful German songs these
men have tcdiously mastered the difficult
German language. There are Irishmen
in some of the choruses, too, and IN near
~ all of them there are Americans whose
connection with the German soil Is very
remote.
All Of this indicates how much may be
accomplished in music by persistent en-
deayor The Germans love their national
music and by devoting their leisure 70
singing it they have made all other races
love it. too. The same thing, We believe,
might be done for the folk-music OF any
other nation. If the public mad ire
uuent opportunity, for example, TO hear
the ancient part songs of old England II
would be awake to their SURPRISING
beauty.
The English madrigals deserve to be
rescued from their dusty library shelves
They reflect, for all their studied polyph-
ony. that bubbling joy in life which
marked Tudor England. Something OF
the Elizabethans' delight in spring sun
shine and the open road is in them. Like
EliZabethan lyric verse. they express the
emotion of an efficient and optimistic
race. Many of them, true enough, are ex-
tremely difficult Tor modern singers, out
that fact only adds to their interest.
Toward the middle of the seventeenth
century the madrigal began to decline in
the face of the prevailing movement to-
ward prettiness. BY 1861 we find busy

oboe cadenza, on his own unblushing con-
fession, moved him to crocodile tears, but
1.-The manner of setting words and repeat
ing them out of order, and that with a
number of voices" made him sick. Pepys
voice, it would appear was voX populi,
for the madrigal retired to the libraries.
Then came the glee-one of the very few
forms of musical composition native to
British soil. The glee was far less COM
plex than the madrigal. Like the German
folk song, it made scarcely any demand
upon vocal technique. Amy one with a
healthy CLOTHS could help out at glee sing
ing and for eighty years nearly every
one in England did so. The famous Mad
rigal Society, formed in 1741 to revive the
madrigal, was soon singing glees, and In
1888 came the Glee Club. Glees were
sung at every fair and merrymaking.
They We're the delight of philosopher and
peasant alike. Herbert Spencer, as a
youth, found his chief recreation in glee-
singing, and SO did Charles Dickens.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 5.-Two more
confident men never entered q ring than
Stanley Ketchel. champion middieweight

for the title. when they prepared for their
twenty-round battle In Cofroth's Mission
street arena today. Although the odds
remained 2 to l against him, Papke was
supremely confident OF his ability to
knock out the champion. He did only
sufficient work yesterday to Justify a

not harder than on any day Of his train

the day to make the stipulated weight Of
15S pounds. and both looked to be In
splendid physical condition.
The betting continued at 2 to /. with
the champion on the long end. and at
those odds money to wager on the result
was plentiful. The Los Angeles contin-
gent brought in q flood Of Papke money
and the east also sent In its quota to
be placed on the Kewanee fighter.
