It Is hard to oon eelve of sueh a performance unless the the dolchos of two and one-half miles at the Olymplo games, and straightway starting on a sixty mile homeward run to be the first to bear the Joyous tidings. Pliny mentions Anystos ot Sparta and Phtlonldea, ths herald ot Alexander the Great, as completing between them 140 miles In one day, but Pliny was as given to loose writing as Herodotus. He re counts in another passage how a nine-year-old lad traversed seventy miles dur ing the hours of sunlight, which almost staggers credibility. Comparing these performances with those of recent times, one finds Rowsll, of England, travelling 10 miles In twenty two hours and thirty minutes at Now York In ISO. Ninety miles of the way was traversed In twelve hours. Whits these modern feats were performed over care fully prepared courses, as compared with the up-hlll-andrdown-dals dlstanoe nego tiated by Pheidippides, whose food and re pose were haphasard, one may neverthe less bellevei that ths winner of the next Marathon race would be able to equal If not surpass the hlstorio performanos of the Greek.

Originally ths Olymino games were scarcely mors than a ma ton of runners In ths measured oourss known as ths 8tadlum. Continuous series of ths victors war reoorded by ths Eleians, beginning with Koroebus In 774 B. C. During the seventh Olympiad, attar Koroebus, a M es se nian named Daiklea was ths first visit ing contestant to bo crowned, and it was not until ths fourteenth Olympiad that a second race up and down ths Stadium was introduced. In ths Afteeath Olympiad a third race, several times ap and down the Stadium, was Inaugurated.

This last addition deserves speolal no tice, not merely as diversifying the pro gramme, but aa bringing into competition a totally new order of contestants men and women who possessed ths fleetest horses and could hire the beet drivers without any personal superiority or Dower of bodily display of themselves. The pro- uisiuus array or wealth represented In these chariot contests evidenced the grow ing Importance of the games at that period. Two other matches were added in the thirty-third Olympiad ths Pankratlon, or boxing and wrestling combined, with the hand divested of the cestus, and the sin gle race for horses. During Its greatest period, ths Olympian festival occupied five days, nut from then until the seventy-seventh Olympiad the programme was nar rowed gradually to one day, beginning at dawn and ending at duss.

The Greek had no high Jump, so that ons point of comparison, outside the time rec ords, is denied us. As for the long leap, the records are only such as to darken counsel. Phaylloa, of Kroton, according to Inscriptions on various pedestals, leaped distance of 66 feet, and the Attlo root. be it remembered, was a bit longer than our own. One modern authority reckons ths dlstanoe at 46 feet 1 inch, but this Is equally Incredible to any one versed In this branch of athletics. It is true, ths ancients used weights in Jumping, but otherwise the Jump was the same as practlssd to day. Aa may bs recalled In this connec tion, the greatest leap of modern times was 24 feet 11 Inches, made by O'Connor In Ireland. Possibly this reoord was eclipsed by Howard, of Bradford, who In 1864 Is said to have cleared 2 feet 7 Inches with dumb bells of five pounds each.

The mill between Pollus and Amycus, one ot the most exciting episodes In the voy age or the Argonauts, la recorded by both Theocritus and Appolonlus. The antago nists wore the ceetus or gauntlet ot leather thongs. Amycus was tricky and rather unfair, while Pollus was cool and wary. He countered on the other, broke his Jaw, then with another blow landed on his forehead and laid it bare to the bone, and finally slew blm with a crushing blow on the temple. On the other hand, the contest between Kreugas and Damoxenos lasted from noon until .dusk, and must have been distin guished by exceeding skill. As for the wrestlers, there Is sxcellent testimony to the extraordinary strength of many of them. Mllo, for example, carried an ox on his shoulders, sad, indeed, met hife death through his own prowess, having rant tns Dole or a tree asunder and been caught ou ths rebound.

The United States government loan a certain number of the deer to the mis sions or to people who have shown their ability to care for them. At the end of three or five years ths government has ths right to call for ths return of ths original number.
