Some SideIighs on The Sporting Game

the only Plank If each wins only
half his games II will not make much
difference fhcrell still be hundreds
of fans who will pass through the
Fed counting styles just TO see either
in action.
Il would be a little difficult to de-
eide whether roller skating comes
under the head of sport or pleasure
or both at any rate. the carnival now
IN progress at Madison Square Gar
den IS furnishing some keen compcti-
tion and some fun as we'll.
The present carnival which viii
last three days is a revival for roller
skating IN this city. There was 4
time several years ago when IL was
considered quite the thing TO skate
and well-appointed rinks came into
existence all over the country. For
some reason or other. however, the
rinks closed down after a year or two
OF amazing popularity and movie
houses and maxixe palaces have suc-l
ceedod them.
Amusement men in Manhattan aro
watching. therefore. with keen in-
torcst the successes of the Garden
venture And the management Of
the latter has gone TO considerable,
expense TO make an attractive back-
ground or footground. If you will
for the skaters. A specially-prepar-
ed track with long fiat stretches and
high banks was put up recently for
the comfort and as an encouragemcnt
for greater speed for the racers in
the 2f-hour race. Excellent living
quarters were erected by the side or
The track with kitchens and snug
sleeping hunks.
That these preparations were aps
preciated. too. was shown by tho
good lists OF teams entered when no
less than fifteen from various Sec
tions showed their Willingness TO tako
part And not the least of all is tho
$4,000 prize money.

of these badges is about one cent, and
yet for the privilege of wearing them
soldiers seem always ready to tread
Gray's paths of glory"
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon in the early
part OF the present century; the Vic
toria Cross was instituted during tlse
Crimean war and the American medal
of honor was first struck off to reward
acts of heroism performed during the
Civil war The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upoa
the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In
the armies of all three nations officer
and private. peasant and prince, have
equal chances Of wearing that which
nothing 5ut attested bravery can buy.
The Irst Victoria Cross granted for
bravery in the South African war was
given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Gar
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal
lantry at the battle of Elandslaagte.
A perusal of the Gazette list which
tells something of the deeds for which
the Victoria Cross has been awarded
shows that fully one-half of the most
striking exhibitions of heroism have
