Amrican as to the respective merits of the athletew in the United States and Great Britain has brought forward a number of interesting communications upon the subject.Amoog them is the following comprehensive study of the whole question, which is woll worth consideration.It goes very fully into the suhjoot, and is an important contribution to & much-lebated and ofton discussel topie.The

Today America cannot claim superior ity in the 100-yards, as on form there is mo better runner for this distance than J.W.Morton, sn member of one of the famous London cross-country | clubs, In the season of 1904 Le met Dufiy thirteen times and won outright on ten occasions, losing only one race, with two ties, He also cqualled Duf.!tev's English record of 9 4-5 on twa \"occasions, while at the last race of all, at Stanford Bridge, Dufley finished only fifth, five running from scratch, Putting Flannigan on onc side, as lis of Irish birth, there ave athletes in Ireland and Scotland who would

so in that case it was tit for tat.WALKING.\u201cEnglish athletes hold all records and abort distances, amateur or professional, from one hour to fifty miles and twenty-four hours.J.Butfer, of the London Polytechnic harriers, has just recently broken all re cords for amateurs for fifty miles, and cord (amateur) by 763 yards, doing close on 51 miles, fair heel and toe, in eight hours\u2019 time, But the standard of amateur walking in London is so high that there are at least six men in the metropolis who can come within twenty minutes of bis record ; while the Inte wonderful walker, Tom Vaughan, of Chester, had a record of over 126 miles in a little over twenty- two hours (professional).At .& nation are notoriously poor walkers.| There has been n walking crase in { England now for cluse on three years, af some wonderful feata nave been uccomplished.It started with the (ie London Stock Exchange walk of three years ago, confined to clerks on the Exchange, The walk was from London to Brighton, along the nowned coach road, 624 miles.re- One | try, either anciont of modern, pro- hundred sedentary, clerks entered ;

yet that well.nigh invincible team war not the best by a jong way in England.an they were badly beaten both by Manchester University and by another eol there, by scores like 7 to 10 and 10 to 1: while this year Manchester did the trick papain, beating Oxford by 11 to 1 and Cambridge 14 to 3.Thera are more than ten lacrnase leagues in Mencherter distriot, with frony six to ten clubs in each, wirich shows the popularity of this fine game in the County Palatine.HOCKEY.\u201cThin is a game on which I am not York to travel 523 miles in a and how many would finish ?could probably count them on the fingers of one hand, London clerks got home in under hours.superiority on the side of the British open, od, and not only Anglo-Indian teams, but the probability is here for America well ough posted to speak with any of .In E , Pile Series orton, Du started, and only sixty odd finished the distance.T.8, Hammond covered the distance in a little over cight hours, and if the roads had been dry he would have undoubtedly crented a new record for that course.How many brokers\u2019 clerks could you get in New | rain, - You About forty of the 11 TENNIS.\u201cThe recent matches at Wimbledon have proved that there is à slight in this sport;

it in played eight months in the veau\u2014let September to 30th April A comparison cannot be formed, as the etvles are different here and there even in the Rughy game.No one in England playe the college » that in erroneounly enlled foothall on thie side.he game ie still too youn to have develope first-class players; and the saying in in England that a player ia born with his football boots on, and in not made.The crowds that at tend football matches in England would astonish Americans, A 40,000 te draws no comment; they ocenr otenn of times in a season.At the final of the English Cup at the Cryetal Palace lant April more than 101, 000 people paid for admission.But the record attendance was five years ago, when, for ihe first time in +wenty years, a metropolitan club succeeded in reaching the final stage of the Kaglioh Cup : and more than 118,000 ssople for sdmisslon~tie groatest crowd ia the history of sport that ever watched a ball game.In English Rugby the game is pla fifteen on a side, vis.: One futiback, four throequarter backs, two ball basks and eight jerwards; and the great Welsh teams, owing to their wonderful development of machine-like passing of the backs, are the world\u2019s champions in this sport.1t ié impos sible to make a fair comparison with America, as the college coaches have so mutilated Rugby football that it tsn\u2019t & shred of ita former sell, and is a style of game that no other coun- trv will accept ; so, there\u2019s any glory in it, Americans will kave it all to themselves, like Sir John Moore, \u201csll alone in his glory.\u201d ROWING, \u201cHere aguin British athletes ave su: preme, and for one first-class eight in America the Old Country could \u2018pro- dues a dozen, The avers, American tekes to rowing as a child does to | medioine\u2014he doesn\u2019t love ii; he gets ao recreation from it; it is simply a.toilsome grind, with all enjoyment taken out of it, Not so in England, where men tuke to rowing as a duck to water.Boat crews {raternize eves a day beforo the contest, and have a jolly timo together when tne race ist over ; in England it is sport for sport's sake, and there in no disgrace for losers ; it would be a good thing il there were more of this spirit on this side of the pond.English oars- mien keep up their rowing in alter life, and in.their veteran days form good rowing cighta.As thers is but one style of rowing on the other side, any scratoh crew drawn from the four corners of the country could go at it right off without any fumbling or misunderstanding.OROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING.\u201cIn this sport Britiab athletes are 0 overwhelmingly ahead that comparisons are ridiculous.Cornell, 1 wee, wants to try conclusions with Oxford-Cambridge.Now, neither of those universities can produce what, in England, would be considered =o Grat-claes cross-country-team.If Cornell wants to mect the real thing, let them go up against such a combination as tho Salford Harriers, Crew Harriers, Herne Hill Harriers, and dozens of others ; there are thousands of them in England.Any one of the above named clubs could run away from any organization that the three universiti xford, Cambridge, and Cornell\u2014could produce.These clubs have few, if any, university players in their teams ; they are mostly mechanics, clerks, ete.Oxford and Cambridge have onlv ome first-class country run- ner\u2014Churchill Schutt, the Cornell Rhodes acholar\u2014but be is a long way from first-class according to the Fnglish eross-country standard.The two best cross-country runners in the world to-day are Shrubb, the famous South London harrier, and Aldridge, the crack runner of the Highgate Harriers, who is only a matter of 150 the ind Shrubb i ten-mi present time pedestrianism is a lost yards behind Shrubb in a ten-mile art in America, and the Americans as flat is under fifty-one minutes, and his Shrubb'a record for ten miles record for the hour in eleven miles 1,133 yrads, being a little over 200 yards short of the world\u2019s professional championship for the hour made by J.Cummings, an Englishman.Ia the Cambridge-Oxford | races, Churchill, their champion, was forbidden bv his doctor to rum, so the Americans thought they were sure of winning with Schutt; but they were disappointed, for A.FE.Welsh, Cambridge's second fiddle, completely ran away from Schutt in the three-mile run, winning by more than yards, \u2018in the slowest time on record-which does pot speak well for Schutt as a champion.Last April 100 members of the Halford Harriers ran a scratch race of ten miles flat, and twelve men got home under fifty-seven minutes ; and close {to thirty men under the hour ; yet none of the team had ur ue an ial teaining\u2014it was only e en In the whole United States and Canada you could not find twelve men to do ten miles under * fifty-seven minutes.Yet Salford is \u2018but one out of more than a hundred clubs in that borough are not the present champions of Lancashire.There are at leant eight wen in the Salfords, however, who have meade better timo for the ten miles than either Joyce or Hynes, tho Trish champion.The Enefish cross-conntry courses are too heave and taxing for American runners; it requires tremendous strength and endurance to cover this course.OTHER SPORTS, \u201cThere are several other games, such ks racquets, bowls, quoits and archery ; also shooting.If anv one cross-country will take the trouble to look up records on English and Scotch ranges and compare them with American they will find the former not only hjgher, but a far higher grade; simply because more encouragement is given to shooting in England and more interest taken in it; for ome ent here there are a hundred on the ather nite, and for oge dollar given in prizes on this side there are fifty in Britain.\u201cTo sum up\u2014the British have a fairly goo! advantage over Awericans in most branches of sport, and thev get more benefit from them, The Americans aro of such a temperament that they go to excrasen.The desire to win is all right, but to win at any and all costs is ridiculous and merits condemnation.The British get a whole-hearted and enjoyable re creation out of sport, while the aver age American makes out of it a beart- breaking labor\u2014the labor expended bring out of all proportion to the value of the prize.The Vavlahman is en in nome form of outdouve sport all the yvar round, while the American specializes, and, when the scaron for hix specialty in over, de slackens off.and in order to again into condition has to train like a Trojan.Owing to the average Eng- Nsbtian'» outdoor lifo, it entails very little training for him to grt into condition : the average American athlete in Jionized if his team wina and ox.tracized if it losen-a lamentaise condition of affairs, not congenial with the ideal of true sport.The English custom is to applaud the loser aud wish him better luck next time, Well, I think | lave proved mv case, ani until | see proof to thd contrary will fire myscl the bonefit of the doubt, oping you will forgive me for writing at such length, yours respectfully, J.MORGAN, When you min friends from town.call up Baker at Kent House, or better atill, purchase o 30 cent ticket and take @ trip to the Falls.You will surely fi thom enjoying (he many attractions and s'erpunuings, .Lacrosse Championship, MONTCALMS (CHAMPIONS) | _ SHERBROOKE Under the Patronage ol the Committee in charge of the reception to H.8 H Prince Louis of Battenberg and the Officers and Mea of the Fleet, etc.CHAMFIONSHIP DEPENDS UPON RESULT Q.A.A.A.GROUNDS Saturday, August 19, AT Q P.M.Admission 23 and 35 cents, Children 15 cents.Officers and men of the feet re EDUCATIONAL.A Clergyman living in the country ana having had good experience in ing would like to take a few young boys, agoa trom 7 to 12, to educate with his own, No charge for tuition, and charges for board very reasonable.Address H, R.This offics.(lees;
