celebrated the event Of evacuating with an oys-
ter roast and general jollifcation-s sort Of
wake, so to speak. Two foot races were run.
Capt. Wilson winning from Sam Stinemetz and
Joyce won from Hills. Both were exciting and
At the same time amusing events The whole
afair was under the able management Of J..
Stanley Ziegler and he was frequently congrat-
niated upon the grand success of the days out
ing.
Tommy O'Neill, the Irish king, is quite dis
consulate over the fact that he cannot take the
now perfect track with him to the new grounds,
the location of which has not yet been decided
upon. Several are under consideration, two
having been offered the club and certain in
ducements thrown in. 1t is more than likely
that the choice will be made of the one located
on the line Of one of the new electric roads.
Now is Analostan Island indeed like a deserted
village-grand stands and lockers, benches and
hurdles-everything Is gone from the place
which has been the scene of 80 many excellent
exhibitions of skill and endurance and which
has several championship records to its credit.
All IL now gone except the pleasant memories
which cling to the old oaks and entwine them
selves about Tommy's old tool house. The
old gray horse, forgot, is not quite gone, but
soon will be-he will be transported to newer
fields" &c. &c.
The bowling alleys are the great attraction at
the club house now, as the members are hard
at work practicing for the series Of tourua-

tests will be close and exciting In game
played this week, with Howard Perry, J. G..
Head and Fred Thompson on one SIDE against

the other, tie was the result and SO evenly
were the sides matched that in the roll off
Howard Perry's side won by only one pin.
VIII Dove complains that the pins fail to fall
over when he hits them.
Miller Kenyon ran at Queens Long Island
athletic grounds under c. A. c. colors on the
25th instant, doing the half mile In 2.12 2-5.
He was credited with breaking a record. 1t
seems to me it must have been the record Of
that track that he broke, for the championship
record is 165A. Under Prof. Crossley's train
Ing here he has several times reeled off the half
in z. 0S and better.
The committee on entertainment presented q
partly completed program at the meeting Of the
board OF governors held last evening; it was
adopted.
The admirers of boxing will have no cause
to complain, for that part of the program
is to be an almost continuous feast of reason
(''reason why he could not land'O and flow Of

the report came to be published during this
week that there Is nothing doing in this
gymnasium. The number of applications to

with an out-of-town offer is Quackenbush. He

hardly possible that he will go from here.
