noon on the board track and the follow
ing five men made the best time: Atwood

times were not given out. The final trials

Association. to be known as the relay

man making the fastest time in the relay

nent property of the man who wins it
three times.
The trials for the other events in which
men will be entered will be held In the
near future. Just who these other con-
testants will be is at present undecided.
but the most likely to take part in the
next are Edwards 10 In the hurdles. and
Burlingame IL in the high jump. The
training table will start two weeks before
the meet. Coach Morrell feels that the
chances for making showing in the va
rious events are only fair I'VE are go
ing to do our best" he said. Il do not
care to predict success. and l won't pre-
dict defeat" Few men in the country
are Mr. Morrelrs superiors as track eg-
perts and so 1t is safe to assume that
with his untiring energy and good sense
at the disposal OF the candidates if there
is any timber at all in those who come
under his direction they are bound to
gle a good account of themselves.

OId-Underground Passage.

(From the London Evening Standard.
Behind building known as the Old
Court House, Wellclose square, Stepney,
stand what are said to be the Oldest pc

the entrance to a subway believed to
have once led to the Tower, nearly u
mile distant.
This subterranean passage is now
blocked UP, and at the entrance there
stands a skeleton.
The Building was formerly known rs
the High Court of Liberty and is sup
posed to be over 300 years old. The court
house is now the Zone of the German
Oak club. and the fine apartment in
which trials took place is used for dane
accommodation FOR billiards.
A winding stone staircase leads to the
two cells at the rear of the count house.
At the top of the stairs is a massive and

these dens comes through gratings high
up against the ceiling, and each is :ittcd

Nearly half the floor space in each
room is filed by a wooden bed. and at
tached to the walls are the rusty chains
with which the prisoners were :nanacled.
Another object to be seen is a strait
jacket made of stiff canvas with iron
rings which can be fastened to the chains.
