Comment on the Coming Great
Pugilistic Carnival.

There are two coming athletic contests
which are at prtSent attracting good deal ol
attention from athletes and lovers OF amateur
athletics. one is the two-mile walk to be
given at the Columbia A. c. games Labor
Day and the other is the three-mile run at
the New Jersey A. c. games tho same
day, in which Willie Day, Of the
New Jerseys, and Tommy Conner, OF
the Manhattans, will start. II the
conditions are favorable record Is apt to be
smashed at either or both of these events.
The race between Day and the "little Irish.
man" not only brings two OF the best dis
tance performers In the country osether, bu,
has developed into sort OF an interstate as
well as a club contest-New Jersey against
New York-the n. j. A. c. versus the n A. c.
A man strolled into the Sporting Times ofiice
the other day and offered to wager $50 u
800 on conner, though why anybody
should expect odds that way is difiicult u
understand. There is said to be handiuls OF
Day money at the Consolidated Exchange,
however. The Jersey people arc mort gagins
their furniture, 1t is said, so confident are
they that Day will do the trick.
The last time the two men came together
Conner ran the Jerseyman to standstill'
1t was a very bruising race, each trying TO
run the other on his feet. Day weakened
rrs:, but Conner was nearly ready TO go
himself. Both men are reported to have done
some last trials, ana IL Is the opinion OF some
that Kipblewhites record OF l4.2o 3-i may
60 TO pieces ON Labor Day.
