ornd a field Of men who had starts, and he finished
with several Yards up his sleeve" While Remington
was so exhausted after beating Downes that ir1enos
slam on the shoulder nearly knocked him down. W. f.
Murphy is considered "a good thing for the two-me
bicvce race with A. A. zimmerman second though
Barlow of the Manhattan Athletic Club, ought 10 nave
fine chance for the place Hoyland Smith, New
York Athletic Club and a. ID. Rich, New
York Athletic, are the other probable start
ers in this competition. With Ford, COPELAND and
MorrelI probably out Of the 2o0-yaid hurdle race,
2foot 6uch sticks, schwegler Puer, Zach" COOPER
Ducharme and Barnes should finish In the order
named.
The $50 yards, hafmile run, cannot be looked
anon as much less than a certainty for Walter c.
Dohm OF the New-York Athletic Club. w. Gregg,
Detroit Athletic Club W. F. Nolan, Pastme Athleuc
Club of ST. Louis; F. W. Brewlngton, H. a. Dahmuh
and T. b. Turner also in. Luther Cary ought 10
have another sure thing of ii in the 220yard fiat race
matt II Carp
ton: L. c. Metcalf, Pastme Athletic Club Nieden-
burcb Schllnger, W. B. Coster and A. W. S. Coch-
rane the other contestants. With the form T. r.
Connect has lately it does not seem that there
can be much question about the winning Of the one
mile run A. b. George may finish second. ii. l..
Dadmun j. ID. Reid. IL. W. Macintosh, Newly ork
Athletic Club and Ernest Hjersberg are the other
competitors in this. The three-mile walk Will lie
hetveen Nicol and Sherman, and Connect and George
should have the fvemile run pretty safely between
them The running high jump will probably go to
the New-York Athletic Clubs man, Alvah NickersOn,
with Hallock of the Manbattans, second. There can
no M doubt about the winning Of the sXteen-pOund
shotputting competition when it Is said that George
r. Gray is one Of the entries. c. 5. Reber, Of the
Pastme Athletic Club, If he can jump anywhere neal
his record % feet 12 inches, ought 10 be almost
as certain Of the running broad jump Gray is Of the
shot J. s. Mitchell will probably win the hammer
and the weight Alec. Jordan should take the pole
vault even if lie rather ont of practice, with Cooper
second and probably Halock third. The individual
tue-ofwar is between j. 5. Mitchell, George Il. Gray
and Z. J. Giannini. Mitchell is the favorite.
