Three American College Rec- ords Tled and Twelve Put on the Slate. SOME “RINGERS” IN THE GAME. | Leroy and Hall of Michigan Are Declared to Be Profes- sionals. CHICAGO, Irr., June 1.—The athletic contest between the Western colleges to- day was won by the University of Califor- ia, the score points being: California 35, Michigan 17, Iowa College 16, Iliinois 13, Wisconsin 12, Chicago 11, Iowa Umivers 10, Northwestern 7, St. Alban’s Lake | Forest 1, Center, Ky., 1. i Three American college records were tied. Jobn V. Crum of Towa City repeated bis | performances of the week before by running n ten seconds and 220 yards in wo seconds, tying the best previous college records in both events. Alvin H. | Culver of Northwestern University cleared | 11 feet in the pole vault, equaling the best previous record. Twelve new Western college records were put on the slate, the only events in which the res were not shattered being the light and low hurdles. At late hour to-night the executive c ttee of the Western Collegiate Asso- ciation voted to declare Captain A.J. Le-| roy of Michigan, who won the broad jump, and F. M. Hall of Michigan, who won the shot-put and third place in the hammer- throwing, professionals, and not entitled to the points which they won in the meet. Evidence was presented to show that Leroy had contested in athletic games in Chicago under an assumed name. The first event was a 100-yard dash. The v J. H. Maybury of Vi in, and J. V. vy of California came in second. The finish was close and the time 10 1-5 seconds. The second heat was won by J. Stewart of St. Alba with H. E. Patterson of the Chicago University second.

CHICAGO, Irn., June 1.—In winning the championship of the Western Inter- eollegiate Association this afternoon the athletic team of the University of Califor- nia beyond doubt accomplished one of the most remarkable athletic feats npon record. The team contested in the Mott Haven games on the 24th and 25th ult., traveled to Albany on the 26th, defeated Union Col- lege with record-breaking performances on the 30th, left Albany 10 p. M. of the 30th, reaching Chicago at 10 o'clock last night. After these contests and travels, with a poor night’s sleep, the plucky Californians snatched the championship from the Aliddle West. To show for it they receive ( a beautiful silver irophy, a wreath with nine plates. 2 At the end of nine years the university whose name appears most often owns the trophy. “California” will adorn the first plate, and Berkeley will hold the trophy for the next year. Sixieen colleges com- peted to-day, many of them being repre- sented by over forty men, hence a big audience was on hand. CARLYLE AND HIS WAYS. He Was Terrible in His 01d Age if Crossed, but Enjoyed Fun. The injunctions leit by Mr. Froude in his will respecting the destruction of all the papers in his possession relating to Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle revive many memories Tespecting the “Sage of Chelsea.” During the Russian-Turkish war Mr. Carlyle’s sympathies were, as was well known, sternly Russian, and any mention of the unspeakable Turk roused his wrath toa terrible extent. It was my good fortune to see a great deal of him in those days, and one night we met at the dinner-table of a very great common friend, when he was specially wrathful at some incident which had occurred in connection with the con- flict then going on. B > To contradict him or arzue with him was useless, as it would only fan the flames; so weall sat in silence listening to the torzent of vehement, angry abuse of the unfortunate Turks, who were then per- forming prodigies of valor against over- whelming odds. He harangued us for some time and received no response. The growlings of the thunder became lower and lower, and at last ceased with a loud laugh and chuckle at the consgi.mc_\' of silence, of which no one enjoyed the fun more than himself. He exclaimed, ‘“Well, well! I seelam going to have the jaw all to myself,” and quickly changed the sub- ject, choosing another, on which we could all join in more or less modified agree- ment. If not contradicted (and at his age very few cared to irritate the ola man; he soon relinquished his soliloguy and fel conversation around him, puffing great clouds of smoke from his pige and growl- ing remarks of approval or dissent. ?a.lwnys remember the last time I saw him, but a very short time before his death. | He was lying on the sofa in the room so well known to us all; his goddaughter,:a little girl of some 7 years, who had brought him a pair of warm gloves to wear, stand- ing beside him. e was very weary, and very fired of life, and the contrast was striking be- | tween the child on the threshold of lfe, with toys, its pleasures and its feebleness still unfolded, standing before the aged philosopher, whose dim eye and shrunk form told of a life strugglé, weariness and unsatisfied longings—who bhad drunk the cup of life to itsdregs; who had won fame, renown; who had left a name that would live in all time; who yet longed for death with a passionate longing. It was one of the most srumatic ictures one had ever seen, and one that could never pass from the memory of those who saw it,—Lady Jeune in Realm. HISTORY OF GOLE. The Game in the Essentials Unaltered During Four Centuries. Golf is a very old game. The Scots Par- liament tried to check it in 1457 for the vurpose of fostering archery. Covenant- ing ministers use many very irreverent illustrations from golf ih their sermons, and the great Montrose, their enemy, was a great golfer. Of the Stuarts, James VI his mother, the martyred Queen Mary; his sons, Henry, Prince of Wales and Charles I; his grandson, James II, and his great-great-grandson, Prince Charles (who first introduced gold in Italy)—were all players. The bouse of Hanover has done nothing for golf. I draw no political conclusion, writes Andrew Lang in Har- per’s Magazine. : The oldest knowx‘%_cmre of golf is in a Flemisa MS. of 13 Museum. the hole, while hard by another is address- ing himself to his ball at the tee. Thus in essentials the game has been unaltered for nearly four Fundred years, and prob- aply is much older, as it needed law to ut it down in 1547. The chief changes ave been indicated. Improvement in the links, additional vigor in the driving, variety in the iron clubs and the scientific use of iron clubs for “approaching’ are the most important modern developments. The great popularity of the game (which will fade Iike other fashions) brings a larger number of athletes into the field, so it is natural that a higher level of skill should be attained. ut, allowing for changed conditions, nobody is ever kaely to be essentially a better golfer than John Patterson, Allan Robertson, or youn, Tommy Morris, not to mention kings an cavaliers of whose feats we have no pre- cise records. Reformers or “‘Idolators,” kingsmen or queensmen, Cavaliers or Covenanters, princes or artisans, Jacobites or Whigs, our ancestors in Scotland were all golfers. And we still keep up the classical severity of the game, not disdaining improvements, but despising fads, fashions and queer n;w-la?gled patents. “The English buy them.’ ——————— Lullabies for Cattle. Among the Danish peasants the primi- tive instrument known as the lure is used for the purpose of soothing the cattle herds, and calling them together in the evening, precisely as the cowboy does on the plains at night. He rides in a circle, m£aal narrowing into a ‘“‘round-up.’ ‘he cattle lie down and drop off into rest and slumber under the witchery of a human voice known to them—the voice serving the purpose of the lure. The cattle are collected together in two or three small herds, the property of so many different families, and in June they are sent up into the Scandinavian Alpine meadows, which are no sooner bare of snow than the regular twenty hours’ sun- shine andjthe twenty-four hours’ daylight cover every single foot below the glaciers with the most nutritious and juicy grass sward. Here they thrive well, and grow rapidly fat. They are in charge of the oldest peas- ant girls of the familiesthat own the cattle, but they do not herd them. They go loose very largely. The Danish pauvrette is there to milk the cows and to convert the dairy produceinto butter and cheese. Itis in the evening when the herd is re- called from the surrounding pastures that the lure comes into play. any of the girls become quondam artists in’ its use, and manage to evoke a good deal of music from the primitive instrument. It has, howe;‘:fi. alsoa purtel:y xizom;:mic us«dz, more especially among the high-spirited peas- ants of the Terendheim dfitr?&s of North- ern Norway. When a peasant-girl has an engaged swain at work on the home farm, he is supposed to be on the lookout for a lure signal from his prospective bride at any time, but more esfsedfllysn on the Sab- bath morning, Belecting the most com- manding peak above the valley in sight of the home farm, she seats herself on its summit at sunrise, sending down over the beeumy crags and canyons the choicest lure selections she can conjure with. Itis challenge to her lover’s devotion and Znnct\ulitv‘ and woe to him if a prompt and melodious reply on the home lureid not at once forthcoming, for she is entitles to demand any act of penance which she deems adequate to his offense.—Pittsburg Dispatch. — Unprofessional, . ““But you've got to take into considera tion,” urged the officer in citizen’s ciothes “‘the fact that twenty men of good repute are prepared to swear the prisoner was not within fifty miles of the scene of the crime when it was committed.” “I don’t have to take into consideration at all,”” replied the great detective. ‘It doesn’t fit my theory of the case.’’—Ex- change.

Members of the Chicago Con- tingent Make a Big Killing. {FARADAY ONLY MAKES A SHOW. In the Club Members’ Handicap the World’s Record on a Circular Track Is Equaled. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 1.—The Chicago contingent who came over to play the | great Clifford in to-day’s Club Members® | handicap have money in every pocket and | credit at the tavern. They made a killing that will be .memorabie. The ‘“bookies” | took money in rolls at even figures on | Clifford, while the St. Louis and Southern | people pinned their faith to Faraday. Lib- | ertine had many friends, likewise the| erratic Sumo. In fact every horse in the | race carried a good sum of money, both straight and place, attracted by faith in| the chances of winning or by long odds. | It was said that the owner of Faraday | | had $25,000 placed here and elsewhere on | bis horse, and it is known that Rose, the | owner of Clifford, had as much as $20,000 | up. About 22,000 people witnessed the | great event. When the bell sounded the | first in the parade was Clifford, with | Chorn astride him; next came Faraday, with Turner, then Libertine, with Macklin | up, Prince Carl, with Bergen up, Henry | Young, with A. Clayton up, and Sumo | last, with Garner up. Books were made long before the usual | time and Clifford was posted an even- money favorite, with the great gray horse Faraday a strong second choice at 8 to 2. Henry Young was 8 to 1and the others 10 and 12to 1. When the regular betting he- gan Clifford opened at 4 to 5, and his price | fluctuated between that and even. Fara- day opened and closed at 2 to 1. The opening and closing in the others were: Henry Young S, Libertine 12 and 5, Prince Carl 12 and 10, Sumo 2 and 3. Most | of the money went on Clifford, but ail | around the ring were hundreds of bettors whose faith was in the gray horse, and they could not be steered off. For five minutes the horses were at the post, and after only one breakaway they got away with Faraday in front and Sumo, Carl, Clifford, Libertine and Henry Young in the order named. Passing the stand Libertine had taken command and was one and a half lengths in front of Faraday, who was the same in front of Young. Clifford was in the second division. Libertine cut out a hot pace, and at the | quarter was four lengths in front of Fara- day and Henry Young, Clifford, Sumo and Carlin the order named. Libertine was only two lengths ahead at the half, and began to show signs of distress. Faraday and Young were close up, and Clifford next, and running easily. Faraday took command at the three- quarters and Clifford had moved into third place, a length behind Libertine, and this was the position when they entered the stretch, with Henry Young beaten off. Up the stretch they thun- dered and Clifford was given his head. The great racer responded nobly and never had either whip or spur. He landed four lengths in front of Prince Carl, who beat Faraday one length for the place. ‘When Clifford returned to the judges’ stand the horse was loudly cheered and Chorn was called to the stand and placed within an immense floral horseshoe.

In the south central portion of North Dakota lies a butte, or mountain, which is a wonderful relic of an ancient era when the ocean covered the State, says the Minneapolis Journal. It is really two buttes, 200 or more feetin height, which are composed of little else than oyster shells. They are in the ex- treme southwestern part of Logan County, about seventy-five miles southwest of this city, and probably thirty-five miles east of the Missouri River. The base of the butte, which at a height of about 100 feet is divided and forms two peaks, each about 100 feet high, is about three-quarters of a mile in length, ob- long in shape and lies extended in a north- eastern and southwestern direction. The sides are precipitous, except at the south- ern extremity, where it is possible to drive part way up. The butte lies in a region almost en- tirely settled by Russians, and none, so far as could be learned, have even visited it or even given it & name. Itisa conspicuous landmark, visible for miles in every direction, as it towers above the sur- rounding rolling prairie and the valley of the Beaver, a tributary of the Missouri River, near which it is located. Very little vegetation is found on the butte besides prickly pear, and, in favored spots, bunches of grass. The northern end of the butte, which has borne the brunt of storms for numberless centuries, is scarred and eaten away and presents almost vertical walls to the northwest winds. Here and there on its face are huge blocks of the cemented shells, which form a kind of rock, which, from a distance, n%pears to fall outward and downward with a cresh. The jutting crags and rocks make a wild and pictur- esque sight. The southern peak, which can only be surmounted by a stiff climb, is nearly flat on top, oval in contour and nothing is visi- ble on the surface but oyster shells, some of them whole, as though just opened of their contents, some crumbling to dust, as though extremely old, while on every hand are broken ‘shells of all sizes. An excavation on the surface reveals naught but more shells and a slight intermixture of gravel. he other peak is somewhat different in character and contour, though this, like the other, is composed of nothing but shells. Itisrougherand the shells seem to have been united into a kind of rock, which defies the wind and weather. This is separated from the butte by a huge block ten or twelve feet squars and isalmost as true a cube in general outline as though the hammer and wedge of the stonecutter had fashioned it. ere and there projecting from the sides are at intervals large shells which countless frosts have failed to loosen. A small cave has been discovered in the side of this peak. Shells form its roof, its side and its floor. The butte is isolated, with no hills ap- groachmg it in height to be seen in any irection for miles. ————————— A BRAVE COLONEL. An Indian Attack Repulsed by the Use of the Breechloaders. Lieutenant-Colonel James Powell once performed a feat of valor near Fort Phil Kearny, D. T., against the Sioux Indians under Red Cloud. Colonel Powell was at that very time suffering from wounds re- ceived in Georgia during the war. With twenty-seven soldiers and four civilians he ‘was hemmed in by 3000 braves in a corral hastily constructed out of wagon beds laid on the ground, end to end. The first charge was from 800 savage horsemen, who poured down from the sur- rounding hills. The white men were armed with the newly invented breech- loaders, which were unknown to their foes, They waited until the Indians had come within thirty yards of their improvised fort. Then there was a sheet of flame and a roar, and like dry leaves before a gust of wind the Indians were swept aside to the right and the left, leaving the field covered with dead and dying. And now the en- tire band on foof circled the corral. Masses of dians, preceded by sharpshoot- ers, renewed the attack. Again and again they were beaten back by the intangible and invisible foe. The fight continued from 7 o’clock in the morning until 3 ». M. Even before as- sistance arrived from the fort the In- dians, baffled, awestruck and bleeding, were in full retreat. They have since learned the use of the breechloader, but the survivors remember still that awful day, when the les seemed to be fighting on the side of a mere bandful of white received, not in the Indian but in the Civil War. Heis wheeled aroundin a peram- bulator by an attendant.—Herald.

THE NOVICE RECORD LOWERED. G. Hardenbrook, Tony Delmas, F. McFarland and Smith Victors in the Races. . SAN JOSE, CAL., June 1.—The San Jose Road Club held an interesting bicycle race meeting here this afterncon on the three- lap cement track of the Garden City Cy- clers. While the audience was not large it made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. The races were all well contested, but a strong wind prevailed, which prevented any very fast time being made. There were four events programmed and the large number of entries necessitated divid- ing them into heats. Two special events were also introduced, a mile class B scratch and a record trial with tandems. The races were called at 2 ». M. and started with the mile novice, divided into four heats, first in each heat and the two fastest seconds to compete in final. Referee Col put a time limit of 2:50 on the race. In the first heat were: W, Harris, 8. J. R. C.; G. Armstrong, A. C.; George John- son, unattached, and E. Malmgren, P. V. W. Johnson was soon distanced. Harris rode strong and finished first in 2:27 1.5, Malmgren second. The time made is coast record for a novice race, lowering Belloli's previous record of 2:31. 1n the second heat the starters were: R. K. Belden, U.C.; J. J. Carroll, 8. J. R. C.; G. Hardenbrook, 8. J.R. C.; R. W. Mar- cus, unattached; A. H. Agnew, Acme, and ‘W. T. Blakely, R. C. W. The riders were all bunched for the first two laps, but strung out in Indian file on the third. Hardenbrook made a good finish and won in 2:34, Belden second, Agnew third. There were only three starters in the third heat: T. T.Kell, unattached; Ray Hogg, unattached, and George D. Seig, un- attached. Kell won the heat in 2:333 Seig second. The latter isonly 2 14- old boy, but he put up a game race, and will make a good rider in time. The fourth heat broughtoutJ. M. Welch, S.J.R.C.; T. Belloli, 8. J. R. C.,and C.C. Peppin, S.J. R.C. In a close finish Bel- loli won in 2:36, Welch second. Boyden and Griffiths of the Reliance Club Wheelmen then rode a mile against time on a tandem, flying start. They made the first third in :39 3-5, the second in :44 2-5 and the last in :46 4-5, making the mile in 2:10 4-5, which was not within the best previous coast record of 2:09. The next race was a two-mile class B handicap, divided into two heats, the first and second in each heat and fastest third to qualify for the final. In the first heat were: C. Castleman, A, C. C., scraich; C. 8. Wells, B. C. W., scratch; R. L. Long, 0. C. W., 150 yards; H. C. 8mith, G.C. C., 180 yards. The scratch men made the first mile in 2:251-5. Smith won the heat in 4:49 3-5 from 180 yards handicap. Long was second. Wells beat Castleman from scratch. There were four starters in the second heat, viz.: W. A. Burke, A. A.C,, scratch; ‘W. Foster, 0. C. W., scratch; T. Delmas, G. C. C., 180 yards, and J. C. Smith, G. C. C., 200 yards. The scratch men tried hard to overtake the two leaders. Foster quit at the end of the first lap and Burke gave up the chase on the second, both realizing they were over handicapped. Delmas won in 5:02 2-5, Smith second.

C. At the start Terrill’s wheel broke and the men were called back. On the second attempt two or three got off ahead of the pistol, so the men had to be called back again. On the third start Terrill got the tandem, McFarland second. The tandem quit owing to an accident on the first iap. Ter- rill also dropped out, as his handle-bars came loose.

A number of wheelmen will, however, join in a club run to San Mateo purposely to witness the attempt of J. E. Edwards to lower the five-mile road record. If the day is fine and the wind moderate Edwards should come near accomplishing the trick, as he is 1n splendid condition. On Saturday, the 15th inst., the Olympic cyclists wil journey to Santa Cruz to wit- ness the aquatic and athletic entertain- ment. The supporters and admirers of cours- ing must be at Ocean. View Coursing Park at 10 A. M. to-day to witness the first race of the second round of the interstate meeting.

The momh%y meefin% of the St. Bernard Club of California will be heid on the even- ing of the 6th inst. W. F. Worthington has sold his St. Bernard bitch puppy Queen Bess to Mr. Bradbury of Eureka, Cal., and John R. Kelly hassold his St. Bernard pup Prince Royal to B. V. Sar- gent of Salinas, Cal.

The Electric Gun Club will also have ashoot on the same ground at artificial birds. The Mira Monte Gun Club of San Fran- cisco and Petaluma is making extensive pre{ rations already for next season’s duck-shooting. A handsome and comfort- able clubhouse is now being constructed in the immediate vicinity of Burdell’s sta- tion, within close proximity to the Peta- luma slough. A steam launch will be in readiness when the season opens to land the sportsmen from the clubhouse at points on the marsh where the shooting last year quved g}?é)d The building will, when nished, be 60 feet in width and 136 feet in length. The basement of the house will be elaborately fitted up, so that the mem- bers can comfortably enjoy card and bil- liard games during the hours of darkness on the outside or when the weather is too stormy for fpluum duck-shooting. The members of theclub are: M. 8. Latham, F. F. Follis, James B. Burdell, N. E. Wil® son, J. Downey Harvey, J. H. Follis, W. K. Hill, H. E. Bongflwn, ‘W. H. Whit- tieri 'W. H. Fairbanks, Adams and D. The entries for the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club’s Derby will close on July 1, but judging from the little interest that is manifested in field trials this year, itis feared that the entries for the Derby will be very small. Up to this date an entry Onotibegnrecelved‘ i One of the most intelligent and clever trick dogs of this City is Victor, a bull- ter- rier, the property of Miss E. C. Spreckels. The canine is a splendid specimen of the race of dqss he represents.

Sailors No Match for the Land Matches for To-day. ) A good game of ericket was played be- tween the Alameda’s “B" division and the ersonnel of the ships Travancore and ames Kerrat the Webster-street grounds yesterday. The sailors won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat, boping to loosen their limbs a little, as they bad only arrived in port the day before yesterday, and were fairly successful in getting the Alamedas out for 162—Cronin 18 and Clark 13 showing the most form. A word of.praise must be given to the knickerbocker contingent, headed by B. ‘Bird, who make 10 in great shape and from whose fiexding a lesson could be taken by many a cup player here. Middleton bowled throughout the innings, taking six wickets for 31 runs, a good performance. The sailors did not show such good form in the batting line, as they were all dis- posed of for the poor score” of 50, Barclay alone showing what they are capable of when in form, making 21 in first-class style. The Alamedas thus won 2 pleasant game by 52 runs. ALAMEDA B DIVISION. W. A. Sabin c. Kerr b. Lang. H. Bryan b. Middleton razge b. Middieton Robertson Robertson ¥. Ward Sr. b. Middleton. J.R. Peel b.

The greatest of interest is being taken in this match, as the winner will be in the lead for the trophy, the two teams being now equal, with four points to their credit. Unfortunately the Bohemians will be without the valuable services of Web- ster, Sheath and Reynolds, who are still under doctor’s orders, while the Alamedas will put their best team in the field, Slo- man deciding to play for them, as he was not particularly pressed to, still the Bo- bemians should pull off the match, as they are a much underrated team. The new grounds at San Jose are to be opened to-day by the Mayor, so a mixed team of players calling themselves the San Francisco Club will go down and meet Captain Gardiner's eleven in the opening match. The visitors ought to win easily, as they are a powerful crew. JOHNRNY BANKS' FATHER. A Eentucky Incident in Which a Small Boy Got a Bad Apple. A Kentucky school committee whose members had invitations to a hanging at the county jail struck town just before the district school was dismissed for the day. With a view of combining business with their pleasure trip the committee dropped in on the schoolma’am and put a few questions to_the scholars. - The an- swers were so brilliantly incorrect ('b:.\l the teacher was prompted by her pupils’ appar- ent ignorance to tell the committeemen that all the little ones were worked up over the coming event at the jail. Then she dismissed the scholars. ; But the scholars, instead of trooping off as usual, hung about the 3‘ard watching with jealous eyes the proud and arrogant bearing of a small boy who strutted around among them like a king in the midst of his courtiers. His every action was observed, and it was apparent that the greater part of the girls hung upon his words and glances. Eventually one of them offered a ripe red apple to the boy, who took it without thanks and with cool superiority. His action and the queer behavior of the other children aroused the curiosity of one of the visitors, and he turned to the schoolma’am, asking: “Who is that a t small boy?” | The teacher looked, and then with a 3it- tle air of wonder, answered: ¥ “Why, don’t ‘you know him? That's Johnny Banks. It’s his father wnois going 0 be hanged ?”’—New York World. ————— The weight of: the earth is calculated by Professor Boys at 5,832,064,000,000,000,000,~ 000 tons. NEW TO-DAY.
