Tho second annual spring games OF the
Berkeley Athletic Club were held at Berkeley
Oval yesterday afternoon. and what promised
70 be memorable meeting was spoiled by the
inolement weather. Under the circumstances
. postponement would have been the best
course. but the MANAGEMENT did not favor the
idea.
There were but 1ls spectators In the stands
whom the first event was called. and but few of
the fair sex braved the weather. The track
master and his assistants worked like beavers
all the morning to put the soaked track into
somsthing like condition, and 1t was fairly
good. a. the times OF the various events Will
show.
From Nh athletic standpoint tie meeting was
Q success. and rarely have more exciting con-
tests been witnessed in this vicinity. Under
tho discouraging circumstances the Prince
