On Monday 7 gessrs, Halbert, Soden and Harry Wright were Hslly engaged in preparing the schedule tor the -agon's championship campaign, and they appear jjhave been excentlonally successful, for the phedale when presented to the meeting proved to be more satisf a c tory than that of any previous icaeon. On March 9 the business or the adjourned ajnventton was proceeded with, and, after the roll- gall and the adoption of a motion admitting ex- gSlcero of the League to seats In the Convention, die Drat Important business matter attended to ns the adoption of the following resolution: Wkfrna*.

It being icld that when a person enters a ground he takes be same chances that the club do of being dlsan- olntert by the Interposition of nature. Another resolution adopted was one to the effect hat any complaint made by a player or anv grtev- inoes by players shall never be made excepting '-ben the club to which such player or players be- ng is at home.

Our portrait this week Is that of the celebrated Caledonian athlete George Davidson, famous as a ham- mer-thrower, weight-putter and Jumper. He Is over six feet In height, built In proportion, and Is a young man of splendid physique, as may be Jndged from the following record of his performances In the athletic arena across the Atlantic, the facts contained therein having been taken from a circular issued by him and Donald Dlnnle when they were on a professional tour of Great Britain last year: ; Threw a lflm hammer 125ft., and a 229s ham- mer 88ft.; pnt a22m stone 37ft. slu., a 18m stone 48ft., a Mmstonesixrt., and a MB weight by ring, fair stand, 27ft; cleared 611. Tin. at the running hlgh-Jnmp: pnt up two dumbbells, one weighing 100B, toe other HODt., and a two-handed dumbbell weighing2101b;also push- ed trom shoulder a bell weighing 100m twenty times In two min- utes. In the Summer of 1879 he paid a visit to America, arriving In this city July 4, where during his stay he was the guest of Col, Joseph Lalng of the Seventy-ninth Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y. (High- landers). He appeared, at nearly all the principal Caledonian games during tne Summer and Fall, win- ning namereus events and carry- ing off many prizes. At Philadel- phia, July 28, he was second to D. C. Ross In the heavy hammer throw, with 108ft.; at the same place and time he threw the light hammer 121ft sin.; Aug. £1, at Montreal, Canada, he put the heavy stone 38ft Bin.; same time and place he threw the 66m weight 27ft.; and on Sept. 4 he put the light stone 47ft 4Xln. and threw the 16m hammer 104ft sin. at the games of the New York Caledonian Club. He is stated to have won during his public career fully one thousand money prizes and twenty-five med- als for athletic feats. At the close of the season he returned to Scot- land, wnere he and Dlnnle have since appeared together, as well as In England- certainly a very pow- erful team. We learn that David- son intends to revisit the united States during the present year, with the purpose of competing at the celebrations ol the sons of Scotia, and he will probably be ac- companied by Donald Dlnnle. Dur- ing bis former Visit Davidson made many friends, and they will wel- come him warmly. STRAY SHOTS. Tbo amateur pool tournament at John J.

Y. to be young Prey, simply because ss an "Un- known* 1 be bad the hardihood to make believe challenge Billy Burleigh, has not been In Auburn at all. This Information was written from Syracuse on March a. The same correspondent wrote: 'There Is a young fellow from Philadelphia who won a few dollars playing pool In Auburn, and of course they thought It must be Frey." It Is really dangerous for a Phlladelphlan to win money anywhere. The next one from the Quaker City who strikes a pool-table in Auburn will be mistaken for Judas Iacartot or Napoleon Bonaparte John T. Reeves, who has for some time been storing bis bllllard-room fix: tares, f qrposes to place them on the market, and thus create a panic among the manufacturers If the programme baa been carried ont, St Louis IB now having a go-as-you-please, but differing from the main object of most go-ss-you-pleases in the very Important essential that there la no gate- money to be divided between the contestants or got by anybody else. It was planned to take place in Charles Mussey's room, and no admlsston-fee was to be charged. Benedict was to walk ss far as 8.000 points—800 to bis opponent's400 on every one of five consecutive afternoons, beginning March 7 —to Emery's 2,000. As showing that many things In that world move in a rut, from which It Is next to impossible to emerge. The SL louU ytAft-Dtspnec/i announces that '-the plays will be made according to the rules which governed the late contest in Paris." and that "private parties offer a prize for the best single average In any afternoon and for the best general average." The rules ot the Champion's Game governed in Paris, and a special rule "on the quiet" provided for a division of the gate-money. There can be no such division in St Louis; and, aa Benedict has to play 600 Silnlajs|HMg«a Is probably straight-rail, and not e ''frarrftfiP** As to the private prizes, there can properly be neither single average nor grand average in a game of this kind; and even tt there could be. it is physically impossible for Emery to make a better one than his opponent, unless Bene- dlot ilea down and goes to deep while Emery Is walking. When one man gives another the odds of even one-half ol 1,000 in a,000, there can be no prizes for averages, although private parties may make the odds-giver a otft In recognition of bis play. The enterprising Charles Mnsmy offers fifty dollars as a puree. His said, for the winner. There Is some reason in this. This parse can be a prize. .for. given 1,000 in 8.000.

Edwin Blbby threw Clarence Wblstter three times In succession' In their catch-ae-catch-can wrestling match at MubIo Hall, Boston, Mass.. March 7. It was fofa purse offered by a prominent sporting man at the Hub, the winner to receive two-thirds and, the loser one-third thereof, while the referee was empowered to decide the contest off if In bis opinion the men failed to do their best to win, in which case neither princi- pal was to get a cent of the purge, and the door- money was to be refunded. With an honest ref- eree, tne men were, under such circumstances, obliged to wrestle to win, and the prospect, aa sup- posed, of a flne4lspmy Induced over two thousand people to attend. In this style Whistler's superior strength does not avail him as In Gneco-Roman wrestling, aa the legs are assailable points, and they rod been together but a few minutes wben it wm*-. plain that tbe little Britisher was decidedly the bet- ter man at the game. He won quite easily, although Whistler. In each of the bouts during- which falls were given, apparently did all In ftls power to gain a fall himself or prevent Blbby throwing him. Joe Gobs was umpire for Blbby John McOlUIck (a Lancashire wrestler whom Noah '/Macldnson brought from England not long ago) for Whistler, and James 0. Lathrop was referee. ED. HOUSE AMD WM. A. BOAGLAKD had another walk at the Academy of -Music, Au- burn, N. T.. March 7.

The' latter retaliated In kind, and an outsider also hit Holske. who then sought the protectlon'of the officials. Thereferee decided that tbe men should walk on. Holske being allowed one lap. Hoagland refused to obey the order of the referee, and ac- 'cordlnxly the raoe was awarded to Holske. Fi- nancially the affair was a failure, tbe money taken at the door reaching but little over the amount re- quired to pay for the building. _ handicap games leuc Club will be held League , .vandltwiii be lssnl J ««; i ne!doackBo. 11?JSJ» Conjahflol In two weeks, rnciade the rules 1 tne schedule of ■ Bpaldlng Brothers' ■-—in street, Ohl- "LiHDA, OB TBB YOUNG PILOT 01 CB«>LB.'>'by Blra.
