GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

| ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-Fully G, 900 lovers of
athletic sports went out to the fair grounds
to witness the championship events of the
Amateur Athletic Union under the aus
pices OF. the Pastime Athletic Club, of this
city. The day was auspi cious, the sun being
shaded by thick clouds and a nice cool
breeze blowing all afternoon. The affair
was the greatest of its kind ever held in
this city. All the events of the program me
were hotly contested from start to finish.
There were six entries in the bicycle race
but five of them requested to be scratched,
as they did not wish to run against Mr.
Murphy, who had a dead "cinch" OH the
race, he having on the 10Th of Septe mber
last broken all previous records in minutes
594 seconds. One record was broken TODAY
viz: the throwing of the 56-pound weight
by J. S. Mitchell, New York A. C.,who threw
it S5 feet 81 inches, beating his own record
of "a feet 613 inches.
The 100-yard dash from start to finish was
between the cracks, Messrs. Cary, of the
Manhattan Athletic Club, and Fl. Jewett, of
the Detroit Athletic Club. Cary won easily
yard ahead of Jewett. The performance
considering the wind, which was in the run
ners' faces, was a very creditable one.
