BAD NEWS FOR NATIONAL GUARDSMEN.
THE EXPECTED ATHLETIC CONTESTS WILL NOT
TAKE PLACE THIS FALL.

TAKE PLACE THIS FALL.
There will be 10000 disappointed National Guards
men in this state when they learn this morning that the
bottom has dropped out of the National Guard athletic
scheme. Up to Yesterday there had been no intlma-
ton that the plans as adopted by tho committee who
had the affair I'm charge would not be carried ont in the
latter part OF September the first of October Many
athletes in the different regiments, batteries and
rate companies throughout the state have been train
Ing for these contests, expecting to win medal FROM
the state for their trouble.
This scheme in one form another has been agi-
tated for two three years First it proposed TO
hold an athletic meeting at Creedmoor in connection
With the fall shooting matches This abandoned
as being impractlcablc. 1t thought by those in
authority that it could not succeed because many men
from the distant parts of the state could not afford 10
visit CreedmOor for this purpose General Porter
was well disposed toward some athletic scheme and
O committee. composed of General George W. WinGate
chairman: Colonel g. {. TOA, OF the 18th Regiment ;
Major Henry Chauncey. IT,, Of the 9Th Regiment: Cap
tain Charles II. Lusc0nb. of the 18th Regiment. and
Captain y. b. ThurstOn. Of the 22d Regiment, was APP
pointed TO formulate some plan.
This committee held numerous meetings. covering a
period of six eight months. At last their final
port was presented TO General Porter at the state Camp
on July % last In it mentioned seven contests
in which a man TO equality" must perform the fcats
In certain specified time or come up to q certain
standard If he performed any four OF them he
secured medal from the state and bar each sue
ceedng year that he mp to certain prescribed
standard. This seemingly satisfactory TO every
body. and it was announced that the games would be
held In the latter part Of september In the rank and
file the scheme an exceedingly popular one and
.aused good deal OF talk. Many men who take only
passing interest In athletics began TO train for these
games The standards were fixed that man Of
average strength and agility could with reasonable
amount Of training. hope to win the state decoration.
This was the part of the plan which popular.
and If II had been carried ont IT would doubt HAY
increased physically the standard OF the men In the
National Guard.
General Porter told Tribune reporter yesterday.
however that he should not carry cut the plan this
fall lie thought t. not In condition lust vet to
be carried ont with entire success. and he thought II
would be better for the WHO succeed him In Office
to carry il through This decision will probably be
disappointment to about nine out Of every ten men in
the National Guard
