C. A. Games. to Although no world't records were broken at the annual games of the New York A. C.

at Madison Square Garden last Tuesday night the sport in the various events was of the high class and exciting order. The victory of the Yale athletes in the contest for the point banner was not looked for. because it was not thought that the New Havenites would eater so freely into the events as they did. The victory of the Blue ln the one and two mile relay races gives promise for a repetition at the annual carnival of the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin Field, on April 29. The New Haven boys captured the two mile race from Cornell in 8.04 which is only 5 1-5 seconds behind the world's record made by Cates, Clapp, Burnap aad Parsons, of Yale, at Buffalo, last year.

Armstrong and Hill replaced Cates and Clapp tn Tuesday night's race, and there is no telling what would have happened If the track had been la better condition. The floor in the garden Is a sectional one and has a spring to it which mitigates against fast time on tha turns. The victory of the Elis, however, was a popular one, and they will need cloee watching in future competition. On tho last relay Eli Parsons, who has the excellent record of 1:64 3-5 for a half mils Indoors, was pitted against D. C.

Munson, of Cornell, who won the mile and a half run at the Irish American games in close to record time. Parsoss took advantage of the lead on the last relay and tore away from Muneon, winning by a little over fifty yards, ln the one mile event agalnBt Columbia the Elis had little difficulty in winning by forty yards. The victory of W. G. Frank, of the Irish American A.

over F. N. Xebrick, of Buffalo, in the mile and a half handicap was as unexpected as It was aensational. In less than a month the candidates at all the leading colleges in the East will be limbering up on tha outdoor tracks, ine weather of the past week was encouraging to those who are taking up track and field athletics at the different colleges, but the fleld3 are not yet ln condition for outdoor work. Careful preparations are being made for the dual meets and Intercollegiates.

but at present little can be divulged as to tho prospects at the rival colleges. It is thought that the Harvard authorities made a tan strike and strengthened their chances for victory In the championships by rc-engag-ing J. C. Lathrop as coach of the track team. The latter will fill tho place left vacant by the veteran trainer, John Graham, who was compelled to resign owing to a re currence of an attack of nervous prostration, which caused his temporary retirement last spring.

Lathrop is by no means a novice at haudllng athletes, for he coached the Crimson athletes for seventeen years. He retired in 1M0 to may way for Graham. While at Harvard, Lathrops charges defeated Yale six out- of nine times in the annual dual games, and scored victory after victory in the intercollegiates. It remains to be seen if he can develop a team to cap ture the coming meet at rranmin ieiu. With the exception of Gring, who tied tor first nlace in the Dole vault.

Harvard has not lost a first place man by graduation, while Yale, last year's winners, have lost four. Including Clapp. who scored a double victory in the hurdle events. Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer, has a faculty for developing point winners, however, and there is no telling what kind of a surprise he has up hla sleeve for the Crimson rivals, rnnceton and Cornell have each lost three point winners, while Stangland of Columbia, the only do nt winner for tne Blue ana vvnue, sun remains in college. The Quakers have lost four point winners.

Thus ale. Harvard and Pennsylvania will start work with conditions about even. Although It was practically decided at the convention of ttie intercollegiate officials last year to hold the championships at tne Harvard stadium next May. the delegates at the recent convention decided to award the meet to Franklin Field, the home grounds of the University of Pennsylvania. Tho games were held at this place last year and were a pronounced success athletically and financially.

Fast time waa made on the new track and good results were recorded In the field events. As a reason for the change of places It was stated that the Cambridge grounds lacked training facilities, hut It is generally thought In college circles that Ysle's objection to meeting Harvard on her owe ground as largely responsible. An other good reason tor ine anaraing 01 me gatneu to the Quakers Is the fact that the troidi ar morn centrally located and eein be easily reached from lork. a a a Judging from the performance of the Mlrhiaan freshmen In recent meet Wolverines will not feel the loss of Ralph Rose when lhe lime arrives for the annual Western conference games. Last week the Michigan representatives defeated Purdue In dual meet by the score of 64 to 10.

Imnlap's CLARK COLLECTION OF CHOICE PllCS. Two Dozen Pictures for Montana i Senator's Manhattan Home Exhibited in Washington.

COST WAS ABOUT $250,000. Collection Described, With Brief Comments, by Well Known Washington Art Critic. Eagle Bureau. 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington.

March 18 The collection of paintings which Senator William A. Clark of Montana recently purchased, in Europe for his Manhattan palace, was this week placed on exhibition in the Corcoran Art OaMery of this city. The loan was secured me enoris of C. C. Glover, trustee and treasurer of the art gallery.

It is can mated that the pictures are worth a quarter of a million dollars. The collection embraces some two dozen pictures, gathered from the various art cen ters of Europe, and will remain here until the completion of the Senator's New York; home. The following comments on the paintings were made for the Eagle by a well known art critic of this city: The fact that Senator Clark Is very cath- ollo in his views of collecting is well known. He bought masterpieces of various schools and ages. No 'tons' or 'impression iBtn' had anything to do with his likes or dislikes.

He was law unto himself and bought the Best obtainable, irrespective of schools. Gerard Dou la represented by a small masterpiece of an old rabbi, which proves him the best pupil of Rembrandt, but he borrowed little of his master's style and art. Dou's talent was all his own. His pictures though email are gems In their way, finished with care and Intellectual Impress. Portrait of a Dutch woman painted In the manner of Holbein, is, no matter bv whom painted, a great work of art.

By at least one expert it is positively identified as the work of John Asper, an artist born In 1499 deceased 1571. He has painted portraits with so much life and character that his reputation la little inferior to that of Holbein. Jacob Ruysdael has a landscape In the collection, which Dr. Bredius, the director of tne galleries In The Hague and Amsterdam. considered as 'one of the finest landscapes by inxi master." it Is well established that Jacob Ruysdael designed everything from nature; his trees and broken ground are of the most pleasing form, bis skies light and floating, and his verdure htis an agreeable freshness.

All these qualities Dr. Bredius considered powerfully repreeented In the canvas referred to. Two years ago a collection of all work. h. talnable by Van Goven wa rathereH uuiviuuai exnimtion in Amsterdam arranged with unexpected artistic auccean.

The Van Goyen in the Clark collection ia a very fine example. This artist was one of the earliest or tne Dutch landscape painters. His plo tures have mostly a warm -gray tone and aeep color qualities and while somewhat dark are very atmospherlo. There ia also a fine Wouvcrmans. a study by Rubens and a marine oy an de Velde shown.

senator has a Bilnm nuiir whose paintings are rare in private collections. Some of the important muaeuma In Rnrnnn are lacking in the works of Jean Simeon Chardin. but the Montana man has one of paintings. This foremost still-life painter was born In Paris in 1699 and. after a varied career, during which he entered me stuaio or coypel, he was employed In re storing one of the galleries at Fontalne-bleau, and began painting dead animals and tin lire, in ne turned his attention to figure painting and his well known "n.i.

diets" was exhibited In 1740 and gave him a oria-wiae reputation. His works are remarkable for truth and elmnllcltv well as for harmony of tone and the careful management of light and shade; no man of true art feeling can see this little picture, 134 by Inches, and not admire It as a masterpiece of the highest order. Chardin died In 1770. His paintings fetch now enormous prices wherever one appears for sale, which Is rare Indeed. Now we come to the maatera of nue an times, and are held by a very magnificent Hoopner.

strange to say, wss not a Frenchman, but the greatest realistic landscape painter of England, John Constable. John Constable the son of a wealihy miller, was born at East nmuoi. ivinoiK. in June, 177. His father destined him for theological studies, but his own unmistakable genius for art and Sir Heorge Beaumont's psirnnage brought him In 1,9 to London, and there be was admitted as sn art student Into the Royal Academy.

and u-iu I FOURTEENTH PARIS GAME STIRRED CHESS WORLD. Marshall's Foil to the Ruy Lopez Proved French Champion's Undoing. IN FACE OF LASKER'S DICTUM. Famous Counter Attack Upheld by Brooklynite, C. and "Wochen-' schach" A Local Specimen.

With the exception, possibly, of the Rice gambit there is no particular variation in any of the openings that is commanding so much attention at the present time a Marshall's counter attack to the Ruy Lopez, KB4. For several years the Brooklyn master has been persistently employing this mode of proceeding sgainat the Spanish game and generally with uniform success, so much so, that he actually rescued an almost obsolete move from oblivion. Shortly before Marshall's departure for Paris, however. Dr. Lasker.

the worlds champion, came out with a statement condemning the move as unsound, and in sub stantiation gave considerable plausible analysis. Naturally, Interest was keen as to whether Marahall would fly In the face of Providence, as It were, and experiment with it in an Im portant game against Janowski. The satisfaction of his admirers when he adopted it in the fourteenth game with the ransian can, therefore, well be imagined. Wben be won that game their Joy knew no oounds. The score of this historical game, which first gave him a clear lead of 3 points, is appended: roCRTXKNTH GAME RUT LOPEB.

With the metropolitan indoor skating championships a week: ago speed honors on the ateel runners ended for the year. Kearney's victory In the half mile and Taylor' triumph in the mile closed a very successful reason's chase after honors. The result of the various events has proved without doubt that Morris Wood, of Verona Lake, ia the speediest and moat consistent man on this continent in the ranks of the amateurs, and probably the beat that ever went after slmon pure skating honors in this country. Coming from a family of skaters. Wood took to the game as naturally aa a duck does to water.

He Is one of nine children, of whom It is claimed all are experts on skates. "While several of them havo won prizes in and around Long Branch, none ever aeplred to national or International honors, and It fell to the lot of Morris to bring the family Into prominence through repeated victories of Importance. Morris Wool Is Just 21 years old and for the past three years has been the undisputed amateur champion on this side of the ater. Thera are those who have seen r-r Morris Wood. European skating races who declare that V.orria Wood could take any of the fastest men on the other side Into camp If a meeting ever were arranged.

This prediction Is probably true for any distance up to five miles. From that distance on some of the Swedish or Daniah chumplous probably would have the upper hand. Wood, during the last two years, has lost but one championship in which he has competed and that was due to the fact that ba had a mlnut previously engaged ln a skate-cH of a dead hrot with Forrester, one of tha fawest of the Canuck skaters, winning by a scant foot. Among the laurels collected he counts many American and United States championships. Wood himself, until a few days ago, bad no Idea exactly how many medals he bad won In the few years he has ben skating.

His count showed seventy-three trophies, of which all. with the exception of half a dozen, were first prlres. A few years ago Frank Sager. of Newburg, was the best of the American skaters, but he was forced In a great many Instances to divide even the United States honors with some Canadian, and It waa often the rule that the skaters from the Dominion held a majority of the United States championships, beside the American ones. Since Wood's advent this state of affairs has changed.

Three yeara ago Wood started In to skate for championship. At that time Peter Slnnlrud. known aa the "Terrible Swede." who since ha turned professional, was the fastest skater in this country. He happened to be training at Verona Lake and one day Wood stuck to him closely In an Impromptu trial race that Sinnlmd decided to take up the youugster. and he gave him all the benefit of his experience.

The result was that the two entered the championships that year under the colors of th Verona Lake Skating Club, and captured four firsts and five second. Wood then started In in earnest. He was given the beat of attention a far as training waa concerned and made It an Invariable rule never to enter a race unless he waa In fine condition. He did not have to bother much with bueines and wa therefore able lo de vote much of bis time to skating. He never toucnes a drop or Honor of any sort, does not smoke, and It does not take bitn long to get down to good shape.

Wood has natural stride that call for a fat pace, and this Is hi main fori, la race he generally assumes the lead and makes hla opponents skats ten hard throughout. Wben It cornea to the aprlnt alaaya has iuat a little more finish left In mm man nia rivals, and thus best them s'ross th tape. Wood haa probably never skated a real loafing race In hla life, for he reaiuei mat a teat eaater can alaav rail on hla reserve strength gnd la dangerous If he Is not sll out from tb fast pare. Th young champion haa never made a specially of going alter records, but he, never-theln. holds th Indoor record for a half mile, of I IK'i.

and th outdoor record, of 1 Tbe former he established at Du-qui'sne Garden I'lltiburg. and the latter at Verona Lake. These fig ire were set, bo, ever, durlug competition snd not at itnis trials. Wood married last September, but despite this fart claims thai will stick to skating as long as be la able to hold ta'e on. lie 1 now diligently watching tb effort, of hi younger brother.

') asjnii.iiiiisa You May Handle the Cigars, but You Get Only What You Pay For.

CUSTOMERS PROTECTED. TOO If They Don't Follow Directions, They Get No Cigars, but Their Money Is Given Back. There is something decidedly humorous In witnessing the operation of the latest form of the nlekel-in-the-slot machine. It tile view of a man with his band In a case and a dozen open boxes of cigars within hit reach and yet he is helpless to take one or more unless he has paid for them. He may pick up and critically examine any num ber of cigars, from any of the boxes, but If be has paid for only one he cannot take more than one.

If. however, he has In erted coin in sufficient quantities to en title him to two or even five cigars the ma chine will deliver as many smokes as have been properly paid for up to the number of Ave. The results noted above are accomplished In a very ingenious manner. In the first place, the ease has to a very large extent the appearance of an ordinary cigar case. The top and sides are of glass, but the front in cioseo.

in tne lower part of fja cen tral portion of the front are two Blots, one above the other. The upper one is for the reception of the coin and in case of the operator having failed properly to carry out me qirectlona. the coin Is returned through Cigar Nickel-ln-Slot Machine. the lower hole. There is also a larger hole ror tne delivery of the clgara.

Having determined the amount of money to be ex- yeuueu, mo coin is inserted. In case a nickel smoke is wanted, the crank handle, which is the key to the sltusjion, is turned to the right, to which aide of the case the i cent cigars are placed, It a 10 cent article la desired, the handle Is turned in the other direction, whereupon one of the two disks in the front of the case ia dropped, revealing a mitten with a long gsuntiet-like sleeve, which collapses against the front of the case wten not in use. This permits the operator to enjoy the liberty of that part of the case which his coin has entitled him to. He 1b permitted to mako a deliberate and careful selection and to pick out the particular cigar be desires and to see that it is perfect. Having made his rtolce.

he places It on a shelf In the center of the case and withdraws his hand. Another turn of the handle and the cigar it delivered through the larger opening In the front. If he has deposited money for more than one, lie places the proper number on the shelf. The machine will only deliver those which have been properly prepaid. The first of these machines has recently been placed In the "Automat," a Philadelphia cafe where everything Is served to the patrons In this manner.

The sides of the room are lined with cases of on shape or another, filled with all kinds of edibles which are delivered by mesns of a slot device. The bill of fare Includes a large variety of sand-wlches. special lines, pics and puddings and ice cream. The cigar vender at once became the most popular thing In the place and It Is constantly surrounded by a crowd watching with amusement, the manner of dispensing cigars wlfjout a salesman.

io nut sxm ioiubi 1 $0a6 it fiiigi Pitcher of the Famous Atlantic Baseball Club Is Dangerously III. DUE TO BALL PLAYliMG? Officiated in Box When Brooklyn Team Checked Victorious Career of Eed (Special to the Eagle.) Patcbogue, L. March IS George Zett-lein, the famous pitcher of the old Atlantlo baseball nine, Brooklyu's most distinguished aggregation of ball tossers, j's making his last home run. He is very weak and feeble and the end may come at any time now. His relatives and friends are rooting for all they are worth 10 postpone the final scene in the great ball player's career, but It Is with very little hope that they utter cheerful words In his presence.

Last Monday thera was a consultation of doctors at the resl- Oeorge Zettlein. deuce of former Police Captain George A. Buckholz. with whom Zettlein lives, and the decision arrived at is that only a miracle In the way of access of strength and vitality will postpone the inevitable. Zettlein has not been informed of the true facts as to his condition and in the face of attacks- of weakness that make his family tremble when they come the famous twirler maintains the same nerve that served him when his team defeated the Cincinnati Bed Stockings.

Hn has prepared a long list of vegetable and flower seeds that he declares he Intends planting in his garden when the frost Is out of the ground, and In the face of commands from his doctors he persists la stirring around his room. In the past fevr days the patient's breathing has become) very labored and he is unable to rest In bed. A careful examination by the eonsultini physicians dl.xovered a tumorous growth is the abdomen, which might have been produced by a blow from a swiftly propelled baseball or any hard material. Zettlein for years complained of the big, round hard lump in hlB sbdomen. He said, In answer to tba doctors' questions, that be bad received many hard rap In the "bread basket" from baseball, batted straight out, while be was In the pitcher's box.

George ZiMilrln, who was in hlrt day one) of the beat-known baseball piuyer In this country, wne born In the old City of Williamsburg. July 12, 1844. He had a varied career and during his time was a soldier, a sailor, an all-round athlete, always a politician 'tnd sometimes a buslnesi man. Ha as the ideal ball osier, possessing cool Judgment and unruffled nervo under all circumstance). It was he, more than any other member of his team, who was responsible lor the Atlantic's winning the fnmoua game with tha champion Cincinnati Red Stockings, which was played on Tuesday.

June 14. Is70. on the Cdpitollne grounds, before a very large audience. At tho end of the ninth Inning the eoore stood 5 to 6. and many of the members of the Atlantlrs favoted declaring It a draw, rather than island chances of defeat.

The Clnrinnatla had not been beaten In a game for two avasnna. The Atlantic thought they had honor enough, but Zettlein, cool ns a cucumber. Is reported 10 hav settled the mstter by saying: "No; is will plsy to a finish If it takes all night. Let It never be said that the Atlantic shirked." In the eleventh Inning, the Atlantic were victorious by a single run, the acore standing 8 to 7. Among those who were In the famous game snd who have since paaeed tway were Bob Ferguson, the catcher; Ci'arlos Smith, third haaeman: Jim McDonald, right fielder, and Mike Henry, the manager of the team.

Zettlein wss a poll'Jelsn before he had a vote. He was always a Republican and In hi younger days gave the late Jacob Worth many a hard battle In the old Sixteenth Ward. Afier he came to Patchogua lo make hi ftame with hi snier. Mrs. Tlucklioli.

Zettlein got iuto th old political habit and bo hustled around among the farmer and other here and at tb last election managed to torn a Dmooratlo stronghold Intu the scene of a Republican victory by about taentv-fiv votes. He Is llkej by every one and the young popi look upon him with awe. When the war broke out Zetileln nllted a nldii.r In a company organiied by Captain Tiarle Klllott, of tireeiipnlnt. who waa afterward a police Justice.
