their presence felt so strongly. Their
influence has changed to considera-
bic extent the English attitude toward
American athletics. and it is safe to
say that there is practically no such
bitterness in International collegiate
athletics as there is or has been be-
tween the A. A A. of England and the
A. A. U. Of this country. In line with
this was the election recently Of L. c.
Hull. the former University Of Michi-
gan Splinter. to the presidency Of the
Oxford University 4. A. This position
is the same as captain of track team
in this country. This is the first in
stance on record that an American col
legian has been so honored IN England.
Hull has won many athletic victories
since be has been abroad. Early last
spring in a quarter mile event he gave
a notable display OF grit. Hull went
through the field about hundred
yards from the start. when he STUN
bled and sprained his ankle badly
But this did not deter him. He quickly
pulled himself together. picked the
field again and in spite Of intense pain
went to the front and won by three
yards. He had to be carried OF the
field attended by a doctor.

We are likely to regard the moon as

all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases, and most OF
them can be easily seen with small

was in Hartford representing himself
as still being a salesman for the F. Il

r was in view Of this that the Hart

P1per's visit and the fact that the
eastern firm had lately been told OF
Piper's gigantic swindling schemes

1t is probable that 1. A. Gormon,

brought back to this city Immediately
and will be vigorously prosecuted on
the charge of ENLIGHTENMENT. 1t is
limited that there are other grave
charges which may be brought against
him. It is not known in what other
cities over the country Piper has per-
pertrated his swindling schemes
which have been of the most daring
and bold nature. The Pinkerton de
tectives have been working on his
case during the past few days and the
police in every town and city in the
country, it is said, have been furnish
