GREAT MEET.
This was the most successful meet ever held
by the AA-C., and Its success reflects untold
credit upon the GAG, under whose auspices
II was given. Saturday night at the club house
during the presentation of the medals con-
gratulat!ons were showered upon the heads of
MessrS. Perry and Stinemetz. through whose
efforts the local arrangements have been per-
igctet- Mr.. swan, secretary of the Manhattan
Clib, said TO a STAR reporter that he had been
all over the world Ill attendance upon athletic
exhibitions, and had never seen one that APP
preached this IN any particular. 1t was he had
no hesitation IN saying, the finest ever held.
