Ere another issue of THE HERALD shall have
reached its readers the great fall champion
ship meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union
will have been held and lovers of athletics will
have had an Incompatible treat The games
take place on Saturday next on Analostan
Island, commencing at o'clock, with the 100
yard DASH OF course, this is on the supposi-
ton that there will be good weather. The
Columbia Athletic Club, under whose auspices
the meeting is held, has left nothing undone to
assure the success of the affair, and they con-
idently rely on the public at large to show a
proper appreciation and to generously support
them. The island has been put in excellent
condition.
The local committee, of which Mr.. Howard
Perry is the head, have mapped out an interest
ing programme The track is in championship
shape, and the tleet-footed sprinters will find
that great records can be made If they are in
form. Visiting athletes who have inspected
the track pronounce it one of the finest and
predict fast time. Around the track are
grouped the stands from which spectators are
expected to view the efforts of the champions
Right here it might be well to state that almost
every entry in the various events is a champion
of his particular section or club, and hence it
is proper to refer to them as champions.
The means of reaching the island will be
ample, as there will be at least four steam ferries
plying between the boat-houses and the resort
The first trip will be made early in the morn
ing and the boats will continue to cross at inter
walls of five minutes, if the crowd justifies it.
Tickets will be on sale at various places in the
city, thus obviating any crush at the gates at
the c. A. c. boat-house The President and his
full Cabinet are expected to be present on the
day of the races, while Vice President Morton,
being an active member of the G. A. c., will be
among the interested spectators. The District
Commissioners will also be there. The music
will be furnished by the Marine Band, led by
Professor Sousa. OF course with the long and
splendid list of entries it is very difficult to lay
down winner, but Mr.. James E. Sullivan, one
of the best posted athletes in America, has
hazarded the following as his tips for the great
affair.

These are good, and are based on good judg-
ment, but nevertheless we are of the opinion
that the lO0yards will be made in clean ten
seconds, with Owen as leader, while in the 440
Remington will probably supplant Downes.
In the SS0-yards run Roddy, of the Manhattans,
will give Dohm all he will want to win, and the
chances even that he will win. The great
Willie Day will surely win the five-mile, as re-
ports say he is running in great shape. Gregg
will probably outwalk all others in the mile,
and he ought to cover it in $40 % If in con
dition that great athlete, A. A. Jordan, N. Y.
A. c., should win the 120 hurdle. lie did it at
Staten Island on Labor Day in sixteen seconds
over a strong field, just as strong the one he
will meet here on Saturday. In the bicycle
race Crst, of the G. A. c., ought to make
good showing and push Zimmerman and Win
die to their utmost. Good results are also ex-
pected from Miller Kenyon In the mile run,
while Dickinson and King are expected to bring
points to their club. Here's hoping for a
bright day, a big crowd, and success to the
| great meeting.
This will be gala week.
