LONDON. September 21.-Javelin throw
ing is coming in as a sport for women.
Miss Dora Swinburne Roberts, a young
Oxford girl, is Englands pioneer lady
javelin thrower, and she can throw the
javelin, which is eight feet long, steel-tip-
ped, and weighs over pound and half,
a distance of 70 feet inches.
The javelin is held at about the point of
balance. and the thrower sprints for
about twenty yards up to what may be
called the take off, mark on the grass,
where the javelin leaves the hand.
Rules for the Thrower.
At the mark sudden stop is made, and
the thrower-giving it twist as it leaves
the hand-hurls the javelin with left leg
thrust forward and the rest of the body
bent backward, to get the greater i'm
petuS.
1t is against the rules to fall over the
line, as the novice invariably does. be-
fore the javelin touches the ground at
the other end.
''Javelin throwing is one of the best
and most graceful exercises that could be
devised said F. A. NJ. Webster. the Eng
lish champion javelin thrower, who Is
coaching Miss Roberts.

objectionable. In view OF these things

organized agencies, and is now arranging
to book hishcuse next season with KlaW

where public meetings can be held and
where occasionally a professional theat-

Reynolds has been very generous to
the schools, the Confederate veterans
and Others in the use Of his house. But
for that the people in Union City would
have no place for public gatherings.
Certainly the public cannot forget Mr..

but it is not his fault, and notwith-
standing this he has the best conducted

have nothing but plays with an ac-
knowledged reputation, and he proposes
to make bis house still better than it

poses to make it his personal duty to
