Tho sporting rivalry botweon England hnd tho United States is stronger than over this your, and 1896 will probably pass into history as tho great year of interna? tional yachting, rowing, cricket and field and track athletics.

Sept. l.'l is the time and Manhattan Held, New York, the plnco for tho great ! I ntornational contest botweon tho London I A. O. and tho Now York A. 0. As orig? inally planned tho struggle was to bo n club affair botweon the best men who wore bona fldo mom bora of tho respective clubs before tho New York A. C. sent its chal? lenge, but tho scope of thocontost has been broadened so that the London team prac? tically contains tho liest men in England, while the New York team contains the (lower of America's athletic manhood. The London A. <J. men are captained by Godfrey Shaw and trained by tho old timer Jack White. Three of the great English athletes, E. C. Brodln, who has a half mile record of I minute ;">"> seconds and quarter figures of -l.S'i seconds; .T. E. Bacon, who established a world's record on Aug. 11? of (i feet I'J Inches for tho high jump, and P. E. Bacon, who, until recently, held tho world's amateur mile record of -1 minutes 17 seconds, did not come, P. E. Bncon be cause othor members of tho team refused to consider him a "gentleman amateur" and declined to visit America in bis company. Bacon has been a soldier for pay, has no visible means of support and is looked up? on as a professional by many members of the team. Tho names of tho London A. C. men who will compete and the events in which they will participate aro as fol? lows: 100 yards run.Brndloy and Down or 220 yards run.Downer nnd Jordan 410 yards run.Fitzhcrbort and Jordan 880 yards run.Horan and Lntyens 1 inilo run.Lutyens 3 mile run.Horan nnd Thomas 1:20 yards hurdles.Shaw and Oakley Running high jump.Williams ltunniiiK broad jump...Oakloy and Mondelson Putting 10 pound shot.Watson Throwing 10 pound hammer. Robertson und Jobnstonc Thcro aro 11 ovents in all, nnd tho team winning six or more will bo declared win? ner of tho contest. C. A. Bradley, the English sprinter, is a robust young follow, with sinews of steel. Ho is a member of thoHuddorsfleld Crlck ot nnd Athletic club ns well as tlie Lon? don Athletic, (dub. He has hold tho Eng? lish amateur championship for 100 yards since 1809. Hollas a record of o 4-5 sec? onds, and ho is credited with 10 seconds on sovcrnl occasions. Ho is a Yorkshire man by birth, and since 1890 lias captured prizes worth $6,875, tho best, trophy of thorn all being the Bingley vase, which ho had to win successively three years befora it. became his absolute properly. This vase is worth SI, 125. Bradley is a bard trainer and leaves tho.mark like a thunder? bolt. He bus run ISO yards In 11 :i-i> sec? onds and can run at top speed up to 150 yards, but his best distance is lot) yards. A. It. Downer, tho othor sprinter, is a member of the Scottish Pelicans and the London Athletic club. His record for the 100 yards dash is 9 4-5 seconds. Ho won the Scottish amateur championship nt 100 L.

Bradley heal him out in tint English championships in some of tho best races seen In England this year, tin tho other sldo Downer is credited with being the fastest mnn In tho world at any distance- from 150 yards to 800 yards. G. Jordan of Oxford university nnd tho Lon? don Athletic club, said to bo a particularly lost man at 290 yards, will bo Downor's uudorsludy for tho lot) yards ovent. Opposed to Brudloy and Dowuor in the loo yards dash will bo John V . Cruin, tho Iowa wonder wito has done the distance in t> 4-6 seconds, und Wufcrs, C. W. Stage or Tommy Loo, till 10 second men. Crunt has never yet met his equal, except in tho person of Wofers, who dofeatcl him in a trial rivce Sept. 7, but Bradley and Downer should ho able to glvo him a good argu? ment, to say tho least. W. Fitzhorbort of Trinity Hall nnd Don don Athletic club ln?s a record of 40 3-5 seconds in tho quarter inilo run and hits lowered the colors of E. C. Drodin this year. Ho won tho quarter mile at tho Cambridge sports this year, and also at tho Oxford-Cnmhridgo games, mid again lit tho amateur championships. Jordan, who may run in tho quarter nillo race, won in tho Oxford-Cambridge and Oxford Yale gnmcs last year, but was bent on out by Fltzherbsrt this year. In this event, tho New York A. C. is particularly weak. Goorgo Sands seems to bo tho chili's best man, but ho is not con? sidered In Fltzhorbort's class. In tho htilf niilo Charles Kilpatrick of tho New Yorks will have F. S. Horan and IS. J. Wilkhis to boat. Horan ran second to Uretlln in the English amateur cham? pionships, lioing beaten a few yards in 1 :.">(). He is tho captain of the Cambridge team that will meet Yale, but is also a member of tho London A. C. Tho Eng? lishmen have as much chance of winning the half mile race as Wo havo of landing tho quarter mile, Kilpatrick bus won tho intorcolleglitto and A. A. 1*. champion? ships, capturing the latter in 1 ;55 4-5. In the onoinllo the visitors havo a strong man in \V. K. Lutyons. Ho has gone tho , distance In hotter than -1 minutes 20 sce ; ends, but lie will hardly bo in it with Tommy Conuoff of tho New Yorks. Cou? ncil is running in raro form nnd recently broke the world's record for a mile by ne? gotiating tho distance in 4 minutes 15 8-6 .seconds, over four seconds bettor than Dut yen's best publlo performance. Besides ConnetT, the New York A. C. has George Jnrvis nnd George Ortou for tho milo event. Both tiro remarkably fast men. Lutyons won tho mile at the London Ath? letic club-Cambridge sports this year, but ho finished second to Bacon In the aiua tour championships. F. S. Horan of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and tho London Athletic club, has a rec? ord of 14 minutes 44% seconds for tho three milo run. Ho has won that race in the Oxford-Cambridge games since IStci. H. A. Munro defeated liim in tho London Athlotlo club-Cambrldgo sports this year. Sidney Thomas, tho other Englishman en? ter oil for this event, holds tho world's rec? ord' of 14 minutes :.'i seconds. Opposed to them will bo (Jonnoff and Ort on, or Connoff and K. ('. Carter, nil famous distance men. Carter has been noted for ten years as a cross country runner, and in 1893-4 won tho ton mile American championship. Al? though pitted ngalnst Englishmen, lie is himself a llriten and was born in Bristol, England. <i. M. Shaw and W. J. Onkloy will bo t ho English representatives in the 120 yards hurdle race.

Ho is a vut-eran at tho game, having won the English championship as far back ns 1S8(>. Ho has held tho olinin plonshlpfor 1808, 1804 and 1805. Onkloy, besides being a member of tho London Athletic cluh, belongs to Christ Church college, Oxford unlvatsity. Ho won tho hurdles at the Oxford-Cambridge sports and finished second to Shaw in tho English championships tills year. Stephen Chase, the hurdler of the New Yorks, bus a record of 15 minutes B-6 sec? ond, which is just ono-flfth of a second faster than Shaw's best mark. Chose won the ISO yards hurdle championship of tho United Slates and Canada in 1804. R. W. Williams, tho English high jump? er, has cleared six foot, but he will hardly boa worthy foenuin for M. F. Sweeney of tho New Yorks. Sweeney holds tho world's record for the running high jump and vary recently got over the bar lit a height of li feet 5% inches, tho best per? formance of the kind on record. \Y. J. Oakley and \V. Mendclson are tho English running broad jumpers. Oakley lias cleared 22 foot 11 Inohes, which ties Sheldon's record, but does not equal that of Bloss, of 82 feet 11?.,' inches. Mendel son's best record is 22 feet 6}a Inches. Sheldon and Bloss KiO tho New York moil. G. S. Robertson and .Tohnstono aro tho English 10 pound hammer throwers. Rob? ertson has the best record, that of 110 feet 7 inches. He hns won tills contest at tho Oxford-Cambridge sports from 1808 to 1805, inclusive. J. S. Mitchell, tho Now York man, holds tho world's record of 145 feet inch, while Hickok of Yale has done 185 foot 7 inches, and H. B. Cross of Yale 135 feet. In this event it is all over hut tho shouting, for tho New Yorks aro sure winners if Mitchell remains alive and well. Another stirb thing for the New Yorks is tho 111 pound shot contest. A.J.Wat? son, England's mainstay for this event, has a record of 37 feet, but Goorgo R. Gray, thu New York champion, hns done 47 feel, holds the world's record and is considered invincible. Of the 11 events tint New York A. C. may win tho high jump, lirond jump, I? pound hammer, 10 pound shot, half milo run, one mile run and t!iret) mile run, seven events In ?II, and more than enough to win, but Sept. 21 may toll i different story.

Occasional advertising will bring occasional business?couataut advertising brings constant business. It's a bad way to test the value of advertising by advertising something people don't want. Your advertisement is the news from your store. See that it is readable enough to command more than a casual glance. An ad. ought to attract attention by its typographical appear? ance, ami then hold that attention by its logic. Funny ads. may amuse; but you're not in business for fun. Let the same business principles rule your ads. that control your store. Truthfulness is a jewel that.loses none of its preciousness in an advertisement. A man who makes false statements in his nils, isn't likely to be believed when he does tell the truth. Faith iu advertising has made many n man's fortune. Every busiuess man should iusist upon his employees reading the linn's ads. Ads. won't sell goods, but they will brine peoplo to your store. When they do that they fulfil all the requirements of a good adver? tisement. When you advertise seek tiie best medium. The newspaper that readies the greatest number of cash-paying customers is the best medium.
