There are some clever athletes in tbe Athena schools, who are boun J to give a creditable aooount of themselves, no mutter wbo their opponents may be. It is understood tbat considerable in terest is being taken in tbe meet this year by all tbe schools of the county, an indication that a large number of entries will be on band to contest for honors. All of wbiob is well and proper. To bold this annual athletio meet permanently, it will fceboovo Atbena to see that tbe traok is placed in better condition (ban it was last year. There was considerable dissat isfaction with tbe condition nf 'tbe traok last year, in the visiting teams, and now it is understood tbat Pendle ton is seeking tbe meet for tbe Bound up grounds In tbat city after tbis year using the poor condition of tbe Atbena track as argument for tbe change.

But to have a successful meet, and to give satisfaction to visiting teams, tbe track must be up to tbe standaid af forded in other places wbeie meets are held. A rough sward does not appeal to splinters who have trained on traoks of standard requirements, and their objections, timely voioed, will tend o be of assistance to any place in the county that does possess a traok of proper character.

One would suppose that Portland and its environs would alTord many attractions for its country visitors other than tbe exploration of minute cavities in well seasoned Swiss cheese, or a promenade up Washington streot bedecked in soveneten Imitation emblems of Ireland's sham rook green. To be sure, It was on St. Patrick's day. It was St. Pnttiok'a day io Atb ena, but no one fell for grntt like Wood did in Portland. His spurious Bhainrooks coat him 10 cents per, ac cording to his own statement. But that gag concerning seventeen' differ ent maidens don't go with us. Ac cording to a fileud who observed tbe luoidont, it was the same damsel, who getting on to the painful greenness of the colonel, appeared before blra sev enteen times and decked him in tbe color best suited to bis complexion.

One of our stand pat exchanges is seemingly peeved tbat tbe Wilson ad mluistialioo did hot see Dt to apprise Britain that it bad advised J. Pier- pont and bis lieutenants that tbe Uailed States treasury would not stand sponsor for Morgan's part of tbe six power loan. Said exchange will no doobt have many peeves oomiog in tbe future, for op to date, Wilson gives every indioatioo of tbe faot tbat be is pesident, and tbat be will serve tbe frbolo people as president, and that criminal special privilege will, daring bis term of office, stand wbere it never stood before in tbe lime light, with its greedy, grasping ten tacles withheld from reaching into tbe government coffers. If some one will start the ball roll ing, it may result in Atbena having an amateur ball team tbis year. Weston and Milton have already or ganized.
