In the fall Of 1889 he beat Luther Cary
IN 100 yard scratch race at Princeton.
At the intercollegiate meeting the spring
following, Vredenburgh- won his trial
heat, took second in the second round,
and finished fourth to Cary, Sheriff. and
Robinson IN the final. Last year he took
second in the 100 yard dash and third in
the 220 yard. Both men who beat him,
however, are now out of the competition.
Vredenburgh atDetroit, September 20,
with two yards allowance, beat w. G.
Downs and Mortimer Remington in a
magnifcently run race. Four days later
in the national championship meeting of
the Amateur Athletic Union at St. Louis,
vredenburgh, though beaten by Cary,
beat Harry Jewett, the famous furlong
Splinter of the Detroit Athletic Club.
He, however, did his best work January
%, of this year, at the indoor champion
ships in the Madison Square Garden, New
York. Here he finished first in the seven
ty-five yard dash, second in the 100 yard
and first in the 300 yard. Judged by his
running at these games Vredenburgh is
as sure winner of both sprints at the in
tercollegiates as was Luther Cary last
year. His great weakness heretofore has
been his inability to get away from his
mark quickly. This defect has been over
come and his starting is now above rather
than below the average.

THE WASHINGTON ARCH.
"A Fitting Memorial and Handsome
Ornament TO New York.

IA rAatAng memorial and hauueOno
Ornament 60 New York.
The Washington Arch on Washington
square facing the entrance to Fifth ave-
nue. stands to-day practically completed,
ana Is fitting crown to the jealous
labors of the committee and to newspa-
pers which have aided the fund in every
way possible.
Ihree years ago, on the occasion OF the
centennial celebration of Washington's
inauguration, on the site of the present
beautiful arch, stood a wooden arch
similar in form. Its beauty so impressed
number of public spirited men who saw
it that then and there they determined
that the city should have permanent
arch worthy of the fame of the first presi-
dent of the Republic.
The idea at once took form and became
popular, and was doomed in the press of
the city, notably in the Commercial Ad-
vertiser, which at once started a fund
which met with such liberal favor that
the success of the project seemed well as
sured.
Only three years have elapsed since the
wooden structure stood temporarily in
place, yet to-day a magnificent colossal
monument, whose chaste outlines con-
trast strongly with the d-fashioned
dwelling houses which it faces, stands
almost exactly on the site of the tempo
rary structure.
MIR. VIM. r. Stewart, the treasurer of
the Arch fund, gives the following brief
history OF the memorial to the CONNER
cial Advertiser:
The original temporary structure was
first suggested by me, y said Mr.. Stewart,
and was paid for by the residents in the
neighborhood. 1t stood in front of the
residence of Edward Cooper on one side
and the Misses Rhinelander on the other.
1t was designed by Mr.. Stanford White.
p" On May 6, 1889, committee was or
ganized to build marble arch in or near
Washington square after designs by
Stanford White, and to raise for this arch
and its decorations $3.50, 900. At this meet
ing some subscriptions were received.
Mr.. Henry G. Marquand was elected
chairman, Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, vice
chairman, Mr.. Richard Watson Glider,
secretary, and Mr.. William r. Stewart,
treasurer. At that time the arch was
called the Washington Memorial Arch,
but the word Memorial has since been
omitted.
AhO o4CSouEcIS OOOkS were opened
May 8, 1889, and the work of obtaining
funds begun. On June the Johnstown
food occurred. This virtually stopped
subscriptions for time, the fund then
amounting to $4,000. On September it
had reached $4,000, and on March 26,
1890, it had been swelled to 5000.
Ground was bsoken for the arch April
30 OF that year, the site having been Sc
lected by the architect and Henry g.
Marquand chairman of the committee.
On May 80 the cornerstone was laid with
Masonic ceremonies. The National Guard
paraded, prayer was offered by Bishop
Henry O. Potter, addresses were made by
Messrs Henry G. Marquand for the COM
mittee and Waldo Hutchins for the Park
Department, while an Grafton was de-
Hvered by George William Curtis. The
first block of marble was set by William
R. Stewart on December %, 1890.
