Ladies' and the island Looked Its
Loveliest-An Interesting Series of
well-Contested Events.
IL visitor had gone to sleep on Analostan
Island on October IL last, when the games OF
the Amateur Athletic Union were contested.
and had suddenly awakened yesterday after
noon, he would have imagined that the games
were still In progress. 1t was first-rate re-
production of those games, and Nature
seemed to smile on the endeavors of the
Columbia Athletic Club.
The stands on the island were spick and
span I'm their clean coats of white paint, and
this, with the green turf, made the grounds
very attractive. The grand stand was filled
with ladies, who sported rather lavishly the
colors Of the various clubs represented, those
OF the Z. A. 9. predominating to large ex.
tent, though the Y. NJ. G. A. colors were con-
spicuous.
The games were carried out promptly and
though there were over two hundred entries
there was no delay in despatching the ath-
letes on their road to glory and medals. 1t
was Columbia's day, as their entries carried
off more than two-thirds OF the points that
were made. The officers OF the day were as

the youngsters showed that the Columbus

bring glory to the club. Little Charley Flick
ling, about two feet high and years old
created sensation by his clever running The
first medal of the day went to the c. A. c., as
Robert Dodge, one of their juniors, starting
from the fifteen-yard mark, outran the two
scratch men, Schlicter, of the Schuylkill
Navy, and Kenyon, of the Manhattans, in the
440 yards. He increased his handicap and won
easily, to the great delight of the 9. A. G.
The 100-yard handicap brought out large
field, and the heats were warmly contested
In the final the Baltimore representative,
Rozel, with ten-yard start, won cleverly from
Harding, of the Y. M. G. A, by about three
feet, much to the qualification of the Balti-
more contingent.

Nickerson, who won the championship here
last fall at the A. A. U. meeting, and whose
record is feet ] inch. He overcame the
handicap nicely, and won by jump of feet
104 inches.
Again in the final heat of the 22O yards was
there surprise, as the wonderful sprinter of
the Columbias, Robert Dodge, came out and
won splendid race from Rozel of the Balti-
more Athletics
In throwing the sixteen-pound hammer the
Columbia Athletics achieved another victory,
as Mitchell, the champion, could not over
come the heavy handicaps given Rainier and
Clark.
The running broad jump was star per-
formance, and the victory OF Sam King, of
the Columbas, was q splendid achievement
for his club, as he was opposed by Metcalf, of
st. Louis, and Lewis, of Philadelphia. To
clinch matters Bobby Elder went in and won
second honors.
In the mile run only four starters came to
the post, Miller Kenyon, OF the Manhattan
Athletics, formerly of the G. A, c.; HI. w.
Schlicter, of the A. G.. s. N, and George
French and Fred Mcguire, of the G. A. G.
Kenyon won an excellent race, which caused
lots of pleasure to the ladies in the grand
stand
In the half-mile run when w. II. Morris, of
the Young Mems Chris tian Association, came
