Too much cannot be said in praise Of the managing
committee OF the entertainment and the enterprise Of
tho Manhattan Athletic Club in bringing the Stafford
Harrlers, the flower Of Englands athletic sons,
to America, and then dcvising an entertain
ment OF such magnitude was last evenings.
Madison squars Garden Is admirably adapted for
large athletic meeting. but II requires something out OK
the ordinary TO insure full house in building so
capacious and this was what the Cherry Diamonds
achieved last evening. The Manhattan Club at tho
helm, with It's largo membership and lnnnmerable
friends, almost guarantee OF popular success but
the building offered also many and strong attractions
for the skilled athletes OF the city and neighbortood
from the fact that the Stafford Haiers wero to make
their first appearance In New York, and run for the
honor of Old England Beside this. there was large
interrogation point placed by the MIND Oh every expert

his own wonderful record, but the timing done last
night proved conclusively that the time taken az Wash
incton was correct The same men who timed Cary
then did so last night and the reading they made OF
their topwatchcs compared favorably witt. the

exist that Carys timers of the other day knew their
business
