From this time on the club grew rapidly
and in two years boosted a membership II
700. At the present time it numbers nearly
l,4O names and ranks above any similar
organization, with perhaps one exception,
the New York Athletic club. The A. c. \.
n. has made a speciality Of boxing and
wrestling, and in these branches has reached
the highest point Of proficiency. In track
athletics it does not claim a very high posi-
ton, but ii has a large and enthusiastic con-
tingent devoted TO these sports, ~ that il Is
only a matter Of time when thorough devel-
opment of the excellent material the club
contains will place it on an equal footing with
rival organizations.
Morris W. Phillips, ex-vice commodore of
the Schuylkill navy, is president Of the club.
W. H. Mcmillan, its treasurer, is also com
modore Of the navy and president Of the
Amateur Athletic union. Theclub has some
good men who take active interest in track
athletics, and Us such might be mentioned the
following: For the short distances of 100 and
30 yards, W. NJ. Perrett, q. W. Hoskins
and J. c. Graham are promising candidates
for honors: W. b. REILLY, II. W. Schlichter
and ]. N. Hill should do well at the quarter,
half and mile distances.
W. II. Taxis, of whom an excellent likeness
Is given, is relied upon TO do some great work
next season as a bicycIist. He is not a new
man by any means, and almost every one
who takes an interest in 'leg developers
knows his record.
The club has a handsome new home now
on Arch street. II is a five story building.
the entire front being Of stone. The interior
is deliberately fitted up, and the gymnasium
and paraphernalia are Of the finest.
The Pastime Athletic club OF New York
city differs from the A. Z. s. n. IN some re-
spects. The Pastimes are essentially an ath-
letic club. There is practically no social ele-
ment, and IL gives more attention to track
athletics than TO boxing contests, etc. The
club has had a wonderful growth. Organized
more than eleven years ago, with but thirteen
members, IL has grown and prospered, until
today its membership roll contains almost
900 names.
Financially well of, 1t takes high rank
among the clubs Of the A. A. U.
The club has been called the athletic nur-
sery,n a name which time has proved well
applied.
The present board OF officers consists Of
President, James z. Sullivan; treasurer, A.
]. Murberg; secretary, II. Druses. The pres.
ident is also secretary Of the Amateur Ath-
letic union. He is an athlete Of ability. He
made his debut in 1878, winning bis event,
which was a two mile walk. In 1884 he held
the half mile championship Of the state Of
New jersey. His connection with the Pas
times dates from the third week Of lis begin
