Mours. EAL. Lory and L. Elliott who 5 goatlemor standing usar ventered to do gratulate the latter on the clearlinous of his fonts. The concertation once opened ron pa upon weight lifting in gouetal, until our casual friend aume out with an offer to lift gain any man in the world, one hand or two handu, for any trophy that might be decided apoo, or, for the matter of that, any sum of money, The challenge fell like the proverbiul bimbshell in the camp Upon what conditions was promptly asked. "And the only stipulation dar casu segoniatanes made was that the mann w could lift the biggest dead weight from tha ground and hoist it at arm's length abors the head should be probiaimed the winner Nothing more simple, thought I. in my o aphisticated way. But, bless you, when the sight-lifters came to details thorn word scores of other conditions considered nocumare before any one man could prove himself a botics weight lifter than another. Was there to by By resting of the weight at the knee, tlie thigh, the stomach, or the cheat ware the first series of queries. Was a jerk from the peiso at the shoulder to sam's length to be permitted Was there to be any rosting en route F Thor. were lots of other questious cropped up so readily that it was easy to see that no mateh would rosult: The challenger, I was afterwareli told, was & Borton gentleman; well-known too, ak possessing wonderful strength. I do nat profess to bo able to listinguish the nineties of woight lifting etiquette, but I repent that the offer of the Burtonian appearol to me perfectly fair to overyone, ria, that the man whe coal liftont from the ground to arm's length above. the head should be leeand the strongest.
BURY MODITA.
Having already dealt at some lougth with the goody goods akmont again working its way to the front du sporting matters. I fool a little diffident about touching upon tho subject. of bony bodies, inasmuch as it roay be thought either that I am labeurize the point or suffer" ing from a disordered liver. So far as the sport of boxing is concerned it must, 1-think, be con ended that London, Biriningham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Newusstle provide most of the catértainments to which the term lavish may be employed with truth. Newmarket or Don- caster may get "brush up now and age after a big race, but for indoor entertainmonta the pluses named obere carry tho away. With in quite surent times two boxers have been fatally injured-one in London, the other in Birmingham. Very property the are of douth in enab cass formed the subject of judicial enquiry. bat aftor protracted hear. ings it was found impossible to indict the penalties of the law upou either of the young follows concerned in the cucounters. The whole question of permitting gloro coutoste has niroody beon fought out and decided, and 1 Am band to any that it must be far batter that
these should be carried on ander striet sarveik. lance than that they should be driven once more beneath the surface, only to become in the course of time rongh and tumble orgies. It has been my good fortune to witadas, some of these on- comuters, and though not" quito the highest form of spot anording to my tastes, they are yes safficiently prited and well-conducted us to disarm criticism. The company at these big encouatom ara asithor zowdy nor disreput able, as everyone rematadmit who has been to either the National Club or the Olympic Club, | and it is very evidea! that a vory considerable section of Intolligout Eritishers are still intē rested in the milnīý spor), of boxing. It would be idle to suppose that a twenty-renná contest appeals to all men nike but while shaded shoose to stay Away it is no reason why anuiber- hundred should be forced to stay away. I am led to say this much because. I fancy I perceive the work of busybodies, going on in certain directions with a view to famago the reputations of the men who conduct these vlubs and to do harne to suchīnstîtations generally. On behalf of our sporting fraternity it should be said that they are at last entitled to tka samö, tolerance. as they are expected to show to other classes of the ommunity. Busybodies are seldom sny good, be their sphere of activity where it may, and when I lupper to meet one who proclaims that we minst not make a het, must not box, innek not play football, and must not ride fast on a crole if able, I do not mind proclaiming myself ab opponent of the same.
A MILE À MINUTE,
Tip to the present time I bare not yet found an opportunity of easing upon the incident of the world bycling championships at Glas- gow, but during the coming winter I hops to teach upon some of the stance witnessed, and 'so keep up the continuity of the rasing; sa it wore, having already related briety whit has taken. place at Antrerp, Cologne and Coponbogen. When on the banks of the Clyde and who can forget a trip from Broomielaw Bridge fo Greenock-Ironowed the acquinlange of many of the eyeling elebritis I had pre- viouly met outside England. One of the items that reached me then wes from the lips of F. W. China, the quarter-mile and milo champion of England, and it was to the effect. that at the end of the racing season it was his intention to endeavour to ride a mile upon an English cond in un dipate. For this purpose he would require a straightaway mile, aft dawa bill, and a big wind at his back. With a ovels pared to something above 100, he was of spin- fou that, favoured in the manner I have men tioned, he would be the brat to vide a milo iu a minute. This bad slipped my memory anti the other day, when I was written to mpen the subject, my sorrespondent being maxious tɔ know if I knew of a straight lown-hill mile and I had to reply that. I did rod. There are plenty of steep hills more than a mile long, bat, I know of novo without u turn, although I fancy * part of Cleore Hill, near Winskoombe, Gloucestershire, oror which I travelled only
few days ago, would sit ike purpose as well any I know. But what on extraordinary
Lask to not usenet, to be snes 1 Of

cannot say whether my correspondant desired the hill for such a purpose, but the coincklence struck ano, and I shall certainly be on the goi vive to eee if such a feat is accomplished. Chinn I know to be a empable and fearless rider, with a fine knowledge of handling A cycle, and dangerous as it might appear to some people, hə would probably be safer than many marvons rider who had permitted a cycle to run away with him down what would be considered að; ordinary sloga, Bat what a triumph for the machazism of a modern egala should such a feat ever become an accomplished fact. The name of the maker, as well as that of Chinn, would be made famous as long as cycling lasts.
