The difficulty between the rival amateur or- ganizations of the Emerald Isle, the Irish Ama- ,eur Athletic Association and the Gaelic Athletic Association, which originated in what was mown as the "boycotting rule," reading as fol- ows: "On and after the first of September, 1885, anyone wilfully competing at meetings in Ireland not held under the laws of the I. A. A. A. shall be disqualified from competing at sports leld under the I. A. A. A. laws," was adjus:eJ, r at least smoothed over, at the annual meeting f the formw body, March 27, when Mr. Purcell made a motion that the obnoxious rule be re- scinded, which was carried with few dissenting voices. The result is that ashletes can now com- pete under the laws of either association with- out being disqualified by the other. The I. A. A. A. will not, however, countenance money >rizee, and will disqualify all athletes compe-.ing at a meeting where money priiea are offered for ny event. EX6LISH AKAT1TJB ASSOCIATION. At the meeting of this association, held at An- derton's Hotel, London, March 27, it was de- cided "that amateur athletes who compete against professionals in foot ball matches under Association or Rugby rules, exsept when matches are held in connection with athletic meetings, shall not lose their amateur status." It was also agreed to recognize the laws of the Irish Amateur Athletic Association, and the date of holding the championship field meeting was definitely fixed for July 3, at Stimford Bridge, London, instead of the 10th, as had been suggested by the general committee.

quirrcl from January 1 to October 1. A close ea«on of three years is provided for English hcaxants and a fine of $15 for every bird or nimal captured by means of a mare, snood or rap.

ATHLETICS IS IRELAND.

The difficulty between the rival amateur or­ ganizations of the Emerald Isle, the Irish Ama- ,eur Athletic Association and the Gaelic Athletic Association, which originated in what was mown as the "boycotting rule," reading as fol- ows: "On and after the first of September, 1885, anyone wilfully competing at meetings in Ireland not held under the laws of the I. A. A. A. shall be disqualified from competing at sports leld under the I. A. A. A. laws," was adjus:eJ, r at least smoothed over, at the annual meeting f the formw body, March 27, when Mr. Purcell

made a motion that the obnoxious rule be re­ scinded, which was carried with few dissenting voices. The result is that ashletes can now com­ pete under the laws of either association with­ out being disqualified by the other. The I. A. A. A. will not, however, countenance money >rizee, and will disqualify all athletes compe-.ing at a meeting where money priiea are offered for ny event.

EX6LISH AKAT1TJB ASSOCIATION.At the meeting of this association, held at An-

derton's Hotel, London, March 27, it was de­ cided "that amateur athletes who compete against professionals in foot ball matches under Association or Rugby rules, exsept when matches are held in connection with athletic meetings, shall not lose their amateur status." It was also agreed to recognize the laws of the Irish Amateur Athletic Association, and the date of holding the championship field meeting was definitely fixed for July 3, at Stimford Bridge, London, instead of the 10th, as had been suggested by the general committee. C. Her­ bert, Civil Service A. A. A., was elected secre­ tary.

SCOTTISH CHAMPIONS.The race for the cross country championship

of Scotland was decided March 27 at Lanark, over a stretch of soft, muddy country about ten miles and a quarter in length. It rained heavily all day. Teams from the Edinburg Harriers and Clydesdale Harriers alone contended, the former winning by a dozen points. A. P. Find- lay, C. H., was first to arrive home, covering the distance in Ih. 2m. 57s.
