BERKELEY WINS THE DAY, Stanford Goes Down in the Intercollegiate Field Trials. SOME RECORDS ARE BROKEN. Roper Lowers the Two-Mile Bicycle Time Several Seconds—Other Events. It was a cold day for Stanford University athletes yesterday. They went down be- fore the University of California in the third annual intercollegiate field day at the Olympic Club grounds, with a score of 45 against 67 points for the victors. Everything excepting the weather was in good form. The programme was as elaborate as the most ardent admirer of manly sports could desire. There were thirteen track events, besides five field features. They were all good, and re- sulted in the breaking of two standard records. A cold, disagreeable drizzle driven into every nook and corner of the grounds com- Gregory Spurting With His Wheel. pelled the starters, judges, clerks, inspec- tors and everybody else to bundle up in thick overcoats and mackintoshes. Asthe first event was called by F. R. Butz, who acted as master of ceremonies, the wind was howling down the track in ragged jolts, which played tag with the muslin Tunning clothes of Huif, Scoggins, Bernard and Woodward when they lined up for the 100- d dash. L. Gill, the starter, fired the shot ghich set the pace. For the first thirty yards the four men were well abreast, but ‘Scoggins took the lead and bumped into the little strip of red yarn in 18} seconds with Huff at his heels. th were Berkeley men. Their fellow- students in the grand stand grasped the The Hurdle Goes Down. opronunity and let out their yell witha will. Barnes of Berkeley, Carter and Knowles of Stanford lined up for the second heat, which Barnes credited to Berkeley in 104-5 seconds, with Knowles in second place. Nine four-foot hurdles were placed on the path. Dyer and Hoffman, U. C., and Cul- ver, Stanford, lined up for the 120-yard run and leap. Culver took the lead and was making good headway until he reached the seventh hurdle, over which he stumbled, but recovered himself to go at the eighth with a rush. He struck the top of the bar and went over it, but before he reached the ninth Hoffman passed him with a leap and touched the goal in 17 2-5 seconds, with Dyer right behind him. And then it rained again. The final 100-yard dash was run_ by Barnes, Knowles, Bernard and Scoggins. RKeplacing the Shot. The wind favored the bushy locks of the athletes, but did not prevent Berkeley get- ting the prize by Barnes breasting the tape first, with Scoggins a_clear second. Then the rain stopped falling and the college bo¥s yelled. wo miles on a_ bicycle seemed to be nothing for a foml track and able-bodied men. Frazer, Roper and Gregory started to make the twelve circles around the track. Gregory was a prime favorite with everybody. He belongs to Stanford. Berkeley men admired him just the same, He had heavy golden locks, which fluttered in the breeze and rested on the cardinal sweater he had upon his back Swhenever he stopped to rest, which he did when so The Hula-Hula Walk. advised by the crowd. Roper kept his wheel spinning around the track, and in 5:24 4-5 rushed across the line, smashin the record made by W. Edwards in April, 1893. Then the crowd shouted, while it rained a little more. The one-mile run was a pretty race. E. Brown, E. Dozier, - Pierce and Holden started for Berkeley. D. Brown, Copeland and Fry took the pace for Stanford. As the men started in on the sixth lap the: spurted. Copeland finished first in 4:5:{ and E. Brown a second later. The event of the day was then an- nounced. Five men started to walk (heel and toe) one mile. They lined up Tinum, Farmer, Blake, Mervin and Holton. Their movements were picturesque. They started on the far side of the track, but by the time they reached the grmd’ stand some IT WILL PAY YOU TO READ WHAT THE HON. DAVID B. MAGEE OF SACRAMENTO, SAYS ABOUT QUR HOME REMEDY, JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. Some of the best known men in the United States were at one time merchants in Sacramento.. The gold fever brought many of the best sons of America to Sunset, and when they came they drifted into various kinds of trade or practiced their different pro- fessions. Many of these men are now known as America’s greatest financiers, railroad magnates, educational philanthropists and brilliant writers. Nearly everybody in Sacramento knows nearly every one, and all agree that Mr. David B. Magee of the Golden Eagle Hotel is a pleasing gentleman. He is a Knight Templar; he is affable, humane, generous; his words can be weighed, because they are not the extravagfint language of an upstart, but the moderate and terse words of a well-balanced man. Not long ago a reporter visited Mr. Magee and asked him what he thought of the great home remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. He narrated to Mr. Magee the fact that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla had been widely advertised as a blood medicine, as a remedy for dyspepsia, neuralgia, rheumatism, skin disease and constipation. Sarsaparilla, and I cheerfully recommend it to all persons who desire a laxative sarsaparilla. stipation, headaches and liver disorder. I tried various different remedies at different times, and I received some benefits from some Thereupon Mr. Magee said as follows: For many years I suffered from con- “I have used Joy’s Vegetable remedies, but Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla did me more good than any other blood and liver regulator that I have ever tried, and I can cheerfully give a testimonial to any one and to all people. I am certain from the analysis made of the Sarsaparilla that it con- tains no mineral drugs, and as it is purely vegetable it can be taken with no ill effects by the young and the middle-aged and the old. cheerfully answer it. I think so much of the medicine that I now have several bottles in the hotel. If any one will write a letter to me I will DAVID B. MAGEE, Golden Eagle Hotel, Sacramento, Cal. So many complaints come by mail that a few dishonest druggists are endeavoring to substitute a cheaper article of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla that the Edwin W. Joy Co. of 269 Stevenson street warn people to beware of any inferior or nasty substitute that may be offered. It is unpleasing to put all druggists in this category. All druggists do not try to substitute, but there are several dishonest drug= gists who are endeavoring to substitute an inferior article for that which is the best. When you ask for a bottle of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla see that you get Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla and no other. one started to whistle **‘Hula-Hula.” Every- body took it up. The movements of the walkers were in unison with the whistlers’ music. Holton held the lead until within a few yards of the line, when Mervin sud- denly forged ahead and touched the string in 7:50. Holton only lost by two feet, but as thfety were both Berkeley men it made little difference. The good-nature of the stu- dents cropped out and Mervin went off the {:th on the shoulders of his feilew-scholars ‘the Hula-Hula music and the pattering rain. i Knowles, Hazzard, Koch, Hilborn and Bradley started on a rush for a 440-yard dash. 'Koch won in 52 2-5 seconds, while Knowles took second place. The 220-yard hurdle was won by Rey- nolds in 27 3-5, with Hoffman second. Barnes, Scoggins and Bernard entered for the first heat in the 220-yard dash. Barnes first, 23 4-5 seconds, with Scoggins second. The second heat was run by Anthony and Magee, and as Judge Butz stated to the audience, “‘a dead heat, time 9000 seconds.” The 880-yard run was won by Cofieland with D. Brown second. Time, 2:04 3-5.

QUEER DIALEQCT SURVIVALS. Two Words Which Appear to Be Used Exclusively in Maine. A writer in the Boston Journal gives an account of the use of two words by the country people of Maine which appear to be of Teutonic origin but have no corre- sponding terms in other branches of the great Germanic language stem. He says: “When I was a boy in the State of Maine the boys of 10 to 20 years—seldom or never the middle-aged or old people—used the words ‘linger’ and ‘lingin’ (pronounced ‘ling-er’ and not like ‘linger,’ to loiter), as substantive and adjective respectively, to denote unusual size, coupled with a certain idea of extraordinary qualities. For in- stance, one said, perhaps, ‘Jim caught a lingin big pickerel yesterday.’ Or one asked, ‘Was it a big one?’ to be answered with enthusiasm, ‘Oh, yes, 'twas a linger!’ These words were always given special | cylinder for over half a minute, the boy emphasis when used as above indicated. 1 do not find this contemporaneous use of the good old Teutonic root, lingen, or gelingen (to succeed, to be_strong), noted 1n our dictionaries, and yet itis in common use among young people in parts of Maine at this time, and has to them a special sort of mystic force, which much delights the heart and the imagination of the boy of 15 in those parts.” el Bhe f et A Strange Fire Test. Max L. Lane, writing in the Progressive Thinker, gives the following narratives of experiences with Mrs. Isa Kaynor at Mil- waukee, Wis.: ““The feature of the evening was the ‘fire test,” auring which Mrs. Kay- nor handled with imputh a very hot cylinder, direct irom over_ the flame of a kerosene lamp; also passing paper, bank bills, silk and lace handkerchiefs through the flame without burning them,although one of the gentlemen of the committee chosen by the audience was well blistered for darinE to handle the same glass cylin- der which Mrs. Kaynor had held to her face for over one and a half minutes by the watch, while it was on the burning lamp. A boy of 11 placed his hand confidently in Mrs. Ka{nnr‘s, and, thus protected, she pressed his hand tightly against the hot experiencing but a pleasant sensation of warmth. r experiments with the cylinder she took it off and proceeded to pass her fingers slowly through the flame, then the hand and finally t!s:e whole arm up to theelbow. Before beginning opera- tions Mrs. Kaynor had insisted on being washed in the presence of the audience by some of the committee, who thoroughly soaped hands and arms and demonstrated that chemicals were not used to protect her. Paper and also silk, which Mrs. Kay- nor had slowly held in the flame and Eassed through it without injury, were urned upon being tried similarly by others when Mrs. Kaynor motioned them to do so.” —_———————— The worst climate for persons affected with a nervous dread of lightning is the east coast of San Domingo, where the sky at the beginning of the rainy season is often illuminated for weeks by nearly con- tinuous electric twinkles and flashes.
