Btripfed of its technicalities as for as pos-
Idss, tee game is piaywl $emutumg alter tms
fashion : The ground is laid out in the form
of a parallelogram, as is shown in the abe e
diagram of the field. The Held measures 330
feet from end te end and 1G0 feet across bo be
twees the outer side lines. There nre various
liaea which cress the Held, which are l.ne n
M the Are, ten, fifteen yard lines, etc., no ne
aardiag te their dUtance from the nearest end
of Use field. An understanding of them,
however, is net necessary te a geuiral knen 1
edge of the geme. At each end of the Held,
Midway betn ecn tbe sides, is an arrangement
af upright pests and cress bar, forming an
Immense letter II, twenty feet high and
atghtem and one-half feet bread. These let
ter H ere the "goals." The goals and the
estUned field provided, no futther parapher
alia, except the ball and the players, are
Bseded for a geme.
At the beginning of the game the ball ll
ffatced laid way the goals, and the cloven men
en each tide take their stations. Tbe seven
"m I mii" en each side form in parallel lines
Ktaadlng ccress the field, the "quarter back"
fMn" behind the center rusher, the two
"half backs' take a station ten or twelve yards
behind bim, and the "full back" stations him
sjakf ia front ct the goal which he is te defeni.
The side which lest the tea ter the cheice of
goals kicks off the ball, and the scramble and
tarsueU begins and continues for forty-iive
sninutee, the time of interruptions being do de
dtKtid. A ten minute Intermission is fol fel
l.lewcd ty caethcr forty-fire ininute inning,
ad tee tide which has then scored the most
ousts wins the game.
In the football contest of today, as evolved
, from the old Rugby game, actual kicking
plays a very imall part. The object of the
game, as of yore, is te get the ball ever or
sit least back of the enemy's goal, but there

Tills is a rough description of the Ameri
can game of foetlHill, though there are a

are understood, the spectator dlsceicrs n
thread of purjiose running through nil the
seeming confusion of the game, nnd, If lielj
"en the inslde," he knows that every meto
of censequence in the game was made
In rospenso te a signal by ene or ether of
the captains. The averoge tjtectater does
net knew this, nnd certainly does net knew
that the captain of n great football team,
like that of Yale or I'rlnceteu, tries te study
out each Imtiertaiit game before celnc ou
tbe field, conjuring up every pessible inue
nnd combination, nnd sometimes calling till
men together nnd with them playing out en
paper the aiming struggle.
Agieat college football contest Is by no
menus an off hand free fight between "tweu-ty-te
Bullivnns," us one lending Journal
6i ice put it. It, is a centwt of skill nnd en
exhibition of head work rather than a mere
struggle of strength. The Hirtlclpnnta are
net intentionally rough in their play, though
the excitement of the hand te hand encoun

runner sometimes lead te apparent "slugging
matches."

Sir Edwin Arneld, author of "The

India und I!astern Asia gcncrnlly, is
about entering en a tour of the United
States and Canada, and literary cirlcs
feel n renewed interest In tlie man nnd

because Edwin Arneld is emphatically a

is Interesting in itself, and all geneial

Te learn te ride,
one only hns te
have a little pa

And, morcev er, the
dangers of blcycle
riding have U-cn
greatly exaggerat
ed. Count up, if
you can, the num
ber of )eoplew horn
you knew ride bi
cycles and make a
list of tbe number
of Injuries they
have received while riding. Then take an
eipnl number of horeeback tlders nnd com
pare the number of their mishaps with tlioe
of the blcycle riders, nnd ten te ene you w ill
find tbe last lUt the longer of the two. It
sounds semnnhnt paradoxical, hut it is at the
same time true, that mut of the serious
wheeling accidents occur te professional or
thoroughly experienced rMcrx.
The reason is that an old rider is npt te
beceme careless. He forgets that he is en a
wheel as he spins ever the smooth asphalt,
nnd when the stene or ether obstruction op ep
ticus in his path he is net looking for it, nud
consequently Is net prepared. Be, Will ever
he gees. A Ics cxpci ienced cyclUt, ou the
ether band, would have been watching the
rend, nnd would cither have avoided the ob
struction or have put himself in such shape
in pissing ever it that it would, at the worst,
have only shaken him up a tiiila.
Professional! or these amateurs who take
part In raeei or tournaments, however, ere
the greatest suttercrs from accidents. There
are two lenteus for this- First, the race
tracks nre of course crowded with wheels
whose riders nrunll excited te u greater or
leu degree und nre npt te steer wildly and
run each ether down Second, a man in
"racing form" must lean forward ever the

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
Ulfllcult)- or Atlalulns Crent fcklll In the
Guuiu llie l'ewrr tu Vlmisc.
Learning te play whist is n geed deal like
learning te wntu shorthand. Almest nuy
ene by practice can learn te write ene hun
dred w erds n minute, or possibly may get up
te ene bundled nud twenty-five, but lie end
thnt very few w liters go, nllheugh almost
every shorthand writer claims that he can.
Se in whist it is easy te get up te a certain
jielnt, but lie end that few can go. Any ene
who has luestetcd the rules of the game may
Ins nble te play it for some time )icrfe,ct!y;
but every ence in n while the occasion mUes
which only the really great whist plaer can
meet, One of the greatest nud most dllllcult
of plays is the grand coup of which Dcbchnp
lelcsw ns such n master, and which Is ex
plained in i very geed whist book. Hut gen
erally sjienking the lest of a geed whist
player Is in his jwwer te finesse.
1 iiuiembei, ntn recent game which I sat
In, I held tlie a and knot spades. My part
ner pleyed a small spndc, and knowing by
the full of the cards that the ku was geed I
played it third hand, reserving my ace te
capture the king it possible. It would of
e-eurcO have lieen bad play te have dropped
thu ace. A stranger who was watching my
hand, when he saw me put en the jack and
knowing just enough nbeut the game te
have lcai ued the i ule "thlt d baud high," said
after the hand was played: "Umphl Don't
you knew that It is the rule te play third
hand high. Ot ceurse I knew what the rule
was, but rules in whist are net like the laws
of tlie Mcdcs and Persians. Learn them
first and then mix them up with common
seiMJ. Some pcople claim that you nre often
npt te deceive our partner, but you won't
if he knows what he is about.
It would be Iiupossible in n short at tlcle te
glve all the rules about finessing, and indeed
It is net nceessary. Once the principle is
undeistecd, it w ill apply Itself te uvery case.
Suppose, for Instance, that you hav e the k,
ka, 0 and 0 S, and the pla er ou our right
leads originally the 8 S. We are, of course,
supposing that he pla s from his fourth best
New, an Instants thought will show you at
ence that hu has hi his hand the a, 2 nud 10,
becnu'ohe must have tin ee cards nbovet he 8,
and ou huve the ethers. New, the prejicr
iilay,etdiiiarily second hand, would lt the 0,
nut you knew that the l iu this case will take
the tiick, and you play it. ThU won't de
ceive our partner, beeiiusq be will be en the
lookout for just such play, and he w ill knew
that when you play the t) afterward you
weie net signaling for trumps. Ihe mid
nbeut the tiump signal is net te play n high
em d bef ei e n low one, but te piny a high card
uunecessaiily befoie a low one.
'1 he iutiinee giv en ubev e can be applied te
Our partner's play. Suppose he held the a,
q IU nnd b S, and should play the 8. As you
bold tha k, 1.11,11 and 0, hU 8, of ceurxc, would
bepeifcctly geed (hairing turnips), nnd you
would pas it, unless for seme ether i cosen
you desired the lead. It is a common rnlu
with n and q te play q third band, but n stu
dent of the game will readily perceive that
this principle can be npplied te n vast number
of ether cases. Tem Lakbi.ne.

With this U giv en a portrait of EI Itlolley,
the colt which The New Yerk Spirit of the
Times sa s is unquestionably the best two-year-old
of tlie year. He has been censide red
a phenomenon all the season, but he has been
accorded his unquestioned rank as leader by
reisen of his recent victory In the Eclipse
stakes at Westchester, when he did thico thice
quarters of n inile In 1 :1 f. Still mere recent
ly, nt Mertis pirk, be did the same distance
in 1.11, making a new ux-erd.
El llie Hey is thus described by The Spirit:
Is a bright chestnut, with a narrow blaze In
his face extending ev cr the nes-, the near
fere and both hind legs white. He has a
beautifully expressive focennd a large full
cyoef intelligence, large nostrils, long taper
ing ears, n leund muzzle, high cheeks, nn ex
quisite neck, full throttle, short from the
thruatlate-h te the breast, which is full but
narrow, well Inclined shoulders, a grand back
nnd deep ribs closely coupled, nnd full fiiuks.
His lfst and mett striking point is his enor
mous quarters, which nre ns massive as theso
of a steer, nnd run aw ay down full te the
gasklu, his arms are very big and bread, and
his legs are geed, as are bis feet.
His worst point is his ankles, which are net
the best. His action Is rather slovenly nnd
sluggish in bis slew paces, but when extended
is v cry taking and his profiling pen er euor euer euor
meiis. In short, he is like his brother Em Em
jerer of Norfolk in style enormous size,
lione and substance joined te high quality.
El llie Itey was foaled June 10, 1&S7, at tbe
El Auove stud of Mr. Thee. Winters, In

but be trained ou early. As te

a sweepstakes at

Tlpperary and

for ItS.OOl, the odd
dollar being exact
ed te win a bet
which he had made
with the late U. C.

would sell one of

Lexington.
Marian, the dam of Et llie Iley, Emperor
of Norfolk, King of Norfolk, Ducbcss of Nor
folk, The Czar, etc., was bred by Mr. Jeseph
Cairn Simpsen in Illinois and taken te Cali

Rennie Scotland), her dam being Maggie
Mitchell, by Imp. Yorkshire ; grandam the
renowned mare Charmer, the best mare
of tbe day ou the turf and a daughter of
Imp. Glencee and Betsy Malene, by Stock
