However hard the rule may he it is the intention of the union to enforce It and lhis was evidenced by the action of the registration committee, which dur ing the past week disqualified the bas kpthall teams of the Bav Ridge A. C: Reds of AA'orcester, Pastimes, Fifteenth j Separate, Twenty-third separate Com- pany of Hudson, and Fourth Separate Company of Yonlrers, for playing a game without obtaining a sanction and fo allowing unregistered athletes to compete on the teams. This disqualifi cation carries with it disqualification by the L. A. AV., Intercollegiate Asso ciation, Y. L C A., Interscholastic As sociation, and a.11 organizations allied with the A. A. U. In view of these facts it behooves the local basketball players to meet the re quirements of the new registration rule and place themselves in a position to finish their respectie schedules with out trouble or annoyance from A. A. U. headquarters. SKtUiiiK Championship-. As there are a large number of skat ers heie who are interested in the ukating championships and some prob able entrants as in former years, it may be well to remind them that the national amateur special skating cham pionships of America for 1S9S will talc place on Silver Lake. Staten Island, on January 27, 2S, and 29, weather per mitting. The championship distances are quarter mile, one, five, and ten miles, besides a number of novice and handicap events.

At a meeting of the National Bas kot.ha.ll League held on Wednesday evening", it was decided to increase the number of games from one a week to three, in order to give each of the six teams in the League a chance to play i n. jrame oach W eek. I One of the main reasons for doing this was to make it easier for the players of the teams to keep in con- ditlon. for they claim it is easier to Keep in snape uj piujmfc uicn mm , regulaily than to play only at long in- tervals. The change, too, will mate- riallv tend to increase the already great interest m the game. The re vised schedule which Avas printed in full in The Times, went into effect on the 7th inst. The Colts of the League are the In terior Department players. With the very laige number, or active young men to draw f rom-ln this larfro -depart ment there should be little tlfflculty in getting together'one of the strongest ', teams in the league. The new team wilplay its first game on tomorrow night w ith the Fencibles at Globe Hall, j Columbia Athletic Club. The various officers and standing J committees of the Columbia Athletic ' Club are at vork preparing their re j spective reports to be presented at the annual meeting of the club to be held this mon.th. The reports will show the i club to be in decidedly flourishing con- j dition ij every department. The re- 1 port relating to athletics will be a most 1 pleasing -one, gratifying alike to man agement and members. It will show an eminently successful season for its athletes, awheel and afoot, at home and abroad. With the present track and field team and the new material now de-A-eloping added to it, the club will be prepared next season to make even a better showing than this. This club is among the very few ath letic -clubs of the country having a w aiting list. It Is proposed at an early day to raise the limit of the member ship roll from COO to S00 members and if the plans proposed are adopted there is but little doubt that even such a large membership will have a wait ing list. The club, one of the best of its kind Lv S Tlle time, has arrived when Ave, must "begin the task of clearing- out the balance of our stock of ladies' jackets, capes and f its, and with eyes bjindly closed" to all sense bf loss, we have -wielded the reduc tion knife in a maimer that demonstrates our determination tombve the entire stock once.

Professor Crossley will have as much as he can attend to on class days. H. Cochran, one of the star gym nasts of the club several years ago, is in town and will next week start in on class Work again. Claudy and McGraw are assisting the Professor in the Indian club classes. Musical accompaniments kindly played by Franc make the class work all the more pleasant. Prof. Daryallat. instructor of fencing, is now at work with a laige class of beginners anxious to learn to use .foil and broadsword. He also has several promising advanced pupils. Prof. George Carter's boxing classes are developing some new material, which may be brought out in future exhibitions at the -club. The bowling team now has a good chance to land itself in third place in the League race. It "won two more games from the Business Men last week. On next "Wednesday evening it will compare notes with the Carrolh. in a set of games. Harmon. 6ne of the most popular of the C. A. C. members, a good all-round athlete, was in the city last week.

An unusually attract- ive program is being prepared for the I occasion. 1 Von Boekman, who has.be.en very ill j for a week or more, is slowing mending ' and he hopes to be out shortly. His very strong playing on the basketball team is very much missed and the players are ruixious for his eai Iy return to the game. Capt. Tierney is making a great suc cess of the team. He is a nard woriier and a good player and is playing his team for a good position in the District League race. Pitkin and Loftus are playing a pret ty game and their passing was a feat ure of the last game w ith Company C. team. Buckley is showing decided im provement in his work and covers his position well. Burgess is developing into auite a goal throw err he is cool and accurate in his specialty. The whole team shows improvement in its playing, all the result of jgood hard practice. G. P. O. Athletics. X)uring the recent illness of Manager Mangan. of the Government Printing Office Athletic Association, the interest in athletics among the members was al lowed to grow lukewarm. The manag er Is now again at the helm and a re newed interest is already apparent. Mangan was laid up with an injury to one of his knees, the result of a bruise receii ed in the last game with the Car rolls. The basketball team has been strengthened by the addition of James Bell, Charles Hines-and Kennith O'Con nor. They are heavier than several of the former players on the team and the new beavier men will materially help in the games against the strong teams of tbe National League. Under the revised schedule of the league the team will play the Corco ran Cadets on next AVednesday even ing. ClarencePierson and Orion are play ing the game in a, clean, though aggres sive manner and their Work counts in scrimmage plays. John Dougherty makes up in fast playing what he lacks in weight. Parse Maxwell, well-known in local baseball circles, is an aspirant for a place on the team. He is fast on his feet and promises to become a good player. Lynch has been out of the game for several w eeks, nursing an in jury received in a foc$all game. AVii lie McCormick is rendering valuable services as coach.

Jack Bonner wants to tackle Arthur Akers, who squelched Taddy Purteli in jig time. , Jim AVakely, of New York, says he is willing to back McCoy against Choynski to the extent of .$5,000. Dan Creedon doesn't- think McCoy would last long enough before Bob Fitzsimtnons to get up a perspiration." Corbetf s nearest advisers think lie made a mistake when he called Fitz those long distance names by wire. That was not mnintaiuing "the dignity of the ring," of which he wrote last week. A sporting club of NewcastlerJingland, has offered a purse of $1,000 for a twenty round contest between Dave Sullivan and AYill Curlcy. The latter is t,bc lad who defeated Patsy Haley two month's ago. The match between Joe Choynski and Tut Ryan to take place at San Francisco next month lea es Kid McCoy out of the question as far as a match wjth,Choynskl Is concerned. Joe and Ryan will meet for twenty rounds at catchweigbt. Heard from Oshkosh?

This pre diction is based on close observations of other meetings' held in Saratoga, when conditions' we're much 'more fa vorable. LaWt season was-tlfd' first that showed any profit Since the Percy Gray law went into1 effect. This waa wholly owing to the; fiict that there were ten clear days1 anu the meeting opened without anybpposition. To at tempt to frame any rich stakes to keep up the standard of sport which befits Saratoga would be like throwing money into a live volcanic crater. A cheap meeting with $300 purses' and no stakes might break the assGcfation even. There does not seerrtHo be the slightest chance for a successful rmeetmg at the Spa, i It is doubtful if the NW York legis lature, when it confened upon the Jockey Club the power to regulate racing, ever intended that such ar bitrary power should be exercised. It undoubtedly believed that the Jockey Club would be fair and just m its treat ment of all the racing associations. If Biooklyn or Shuepshead were treated as Saratoga hns been there would be a mighty protest and a resort to the courts. Just how the case could be brought into court unless charges of discrimination and financial injury were made, is a question. An appeal could he made to the legislature for laws to strip the "Jockey Club of its arbitrary power if it could be shown that unjust discrimination was indulg ed in. If Mr. Walbaum has any back bone at all he will spend a few dollars and find out if the Jockey Club has the power to injure him each year to the extent of thousands of dollars. If any other parties were incontrol of Sara toga a very different arrangement of dates would be made. Mr. AValbaum's methods and manner of conducting a meeting have never been admired, but that does not enter- Into the question of fair play. . rril.rt .ocw few. lr r.lrtoivirt' rvf tol,AH Wbe r'un orL ocaI tracks drawing to a close. Reports from the Coney Island Jockey Club and the Westchester Asso ciation regarding the Futurity for 1900 are A'ery encouraging. In the Futurity there are more than 650 entries alieady, and many Western points to be heard from, while the Matron has more than 400 entries and more to come. Both are exceedingly 'rich events, the esti mated value of the Futurity being nearly $40,000, of which only $8,750 is added by the Coney Island Club, the balance being subscriptions. The Matron is worth $20,000, and Is founded upon similar lines .to the Fu turity with the exception that there is but one chance to enter. Secretary H. G. Crickmore is well pleasecl with th"e present showing of entries, Avhich num ber up to date 470. Such reports are very encouraging for the future of the racing interest. Who will be starter?

He had a Jong talk last night with Speaker Rued, a Mend, and one of the directors or the institute plan. Mr. Gunton'ff idea has received I he hearty support of many politicians, especially Jte publfcans. After one has read Guulon's Magazine and taken the Gunton course for a year, one is suppoied to have a classical education on economical btib jeets, "with a slightly Repullicati bias. Mr. Marshal Cunning, formerly of tills city, is manager of the Gunton enter prises, from whloli'it may be inferred without any mnnner uf doubt, that there is snap and Joytulncfcs in the business end. Gen. James S. Clarkson, theex-iKiIltlcian, is in the city staying at the Shoreham. Mr. Joseph Mauley is at the Arlington. Canon and Mrs. Cheyne, of Oxford, England, it re at the Rigga House. Mr, J. Manefield Uavles, of Pishkill on the Hudson, and a son of one or the old New i'ork families, is at the Arlington. He is an expert amateur on architecture "I have visited AYashington every few years shire 1815,'' he said, last night. "The chuuge In the architecture of the city is, as any of your older residents could tell you, remarkable. AVhen I first came here the city was only a little strip along Pennsylvania avenue with a few cluners of houses branching out from the stem. The houses then were all severely plain and monotonously the same. " And there was very little beauty in them, except as a fine house of the Queen Anne style, like those in Lafayetts Square still stand ing, ib beauiirul in its simplicity. Now there is more fine architecture irc than there is in New lork, Your architects have talent and originality, and their work has few faults. Arciiitests with originality hae a magnificent chance to make mistakes". l"ours have not. The Romanesque style, which is much in ogue with" you, employing the low arch with heavy pillar effects, adapts itself to very beautiful dwellings'." Mr. Davies says he can almost tell the decade a houhe was born in New I'ork by its architecture. Mr. Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the Civic Federation of Chicago, is in Wash ington on matters relating to the national conference on primary election reform to be held in New York ou January "0 and 21. Mr. Easley is much interested In all matters pertaining especially -to municipal government, good and bad. He said last night to a reporter for The Times: "People in all the large cities are be ginning to reali7e- that the primary elec tions He at the very root aud source of our entire elective Jianchise system and that the misrule in many of the large cities could be overcome and killed by better primaries. The people who have issued the call for tfifs conference are the most prominent in trie-United States." Col. Charles p. Frederic, a Colorado man, said at the Metropolitan last night: "Col orado is pretty sore on Senator Wolcott. There is1 a. feeling of bitter resentment againbt his course and -lack of course among the silver Republican followers of fjeiiRtor Teller. He will be knifed. The leaders of the Colorado Republican party, formerly his ardent lieutenants, men like Stevenson, have waited on and on to get some expression of Colorado's feeling for silver from him, and have been disap pointed always, and now are ready to throw himbver. .Mr."Stceiison,who was formerly his leading supporter and worker, Was in AA'ash'ingon last week and had a 'talk with tlte Senator. When he finished he was lessf pleased than when he entered the Senator's room. ' There was nothing of action -prpmrsed: AVolcott has been in a mo sl,anonta Ions position for a long time. i'eopie have been saying that he will resign from the Senate on account of Secretary-Gage's position, showing him how the President stands.

Assemblyman Hnrbumer AVill In troduce Bills That AVjll Legalize All Sport, on the Sabbath. 3N"ew Tork, Jan. 8. New York is to have that institution which has been inveighed againbt by the pnlpit. hand led with kid gloves by the politicians before election and secretly winked at by about three out of every four men in the community the "continental Sunday" if the plans of Assemblyman Julius ilarburger do not miscarry. There will be baseball, boxing and wrestling; tragedy, comedy and comic opera; minstrels, vaudeville and beer. In short. Ken- York will be "wide open" on Sunday if Mr. Barburger's measure meets with success at Albany. Tie has prepared bills which he will introduce in the assembly next week, the first of which amends the Penal Code, section 263. so that it will provide that "all shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, hoise racing, gaming or other public sport, exercise or show except the playing of baseball on private grounds with the consent of the owner or lessee of such grounds shall be pro hibited on Sunday." That will permit President Preedman to play Mr. Croker's Giants next sum mer at the Polo Grounds. 2a. Croker has already expressed himself in favor of it. Mr. Ilarburger lias an amendment to section 1.4S1 of chapter 378 of the new charter, also. That section forbids the exhibition on Sunday "in any building, garden, grounds, concert room or other room or place within the city of New York of any interlude, tragedy, comedy, opera, play, farce or dramatic perform ance, ballet, negro minstrelsy, negro or other dancing, any equestrian or circus performance, or any performance of jugglers, acrobats or rope dancers" and JMr. Harburger's amendment adds these joyous words: "except betwren the "hours of S and II o'clock in the evening." Then section 277 of the Penal Code, which prohibits Sunday "wrestling, boxing with or without gloves, sparring contests, trials of strength, juggling" and the like, receives attention from the inexpressible TIarburger in the shape of an amendment inserting an excep tion in faA'or of the evening hours be tween S and 11 o'clock so that prize fights will not have to be "pulled off" in dark corners in the middle of the night any more. It has "been many years since such a sweeping attempt to legalize Sunday exhibitions has been made in the leg islature, and, although Mr. Harburger interprets the sweeping defeat of the reformers last fall as a popular de mand for more liberal Sunday laws, his bills are bound to meet with stern oppo sition from the rural members in the legislature, and Governor, Black Is already on record as o. staunch de fender of what has come to be called "American Sunday" as distinguished from tli "continental Sunday." In the old days the police opposed the enactment of such laws as these because by legalizing Sunday liberty they would deprive-them of fat pickings in the way of fees for protection in the violation of the Sunday laws. All About Terrnpiu. (From the BaltimareNews.) They begin laying about the middle of May, and hatch in about30 days. Thefe male terrapin scratches a hole fn the sand with her forepaws, deposits her. eggs,, from thirteen to -nineteen in it, and then covers them up and leaves the liea't of the sun to hatch out the young terrapin. They are not much bigger when hatched -than a. man's thumbnail, and are as soft ias dough. TheycraWl around preftyllvely, and begin to hunt for their food, con sisting of small fish, crabs, etc. The rirst summer theyare qultesmall.ahdaboutthe first to -the middle of November they go into their winter quarters. " This consists of some soft mudhole in the marsh or on the Ixittom of some Stream. Here they sleep until about 'the middle of April or later, when they come out, and are of quite respectable sli!gr say four inches in breadth. The next -year they arc Six Inches, 'and the third seven inches In breadth. It is, undoubtedly, while, the terrapin slumbers in the mud that he.acquires the peculiar qualities for which we admire him.
