WITH RAPIuITY AND PRECISION
The men Of muscle OF the 9TH Regiment met iast
night In athletic contest in the armory at sixty
seyentb-st and Park-ave and for more than
two hours they entertained and amused O.
large and representative throng of spectators The
swift footed heroes OF the Olympian games couid
not have created more enthusiasm or SHOWN more
skill than did the brawny athletes or the 'th hegi
ment. and while there only one record broken
there was good work done and fast time SHOWN IN
all the other contests. The games were the twenty
fourth semi-annual indoor ones OF the regiment.

The regimen. men antagonized the League OF
American Wheelmen last night by not applying to II
for permission 70 hold the bicycle races. and they
will probably be disqualified. but the regiment men
an independent set. not caring much what the
Amateur Athletic Union does.
A distinctive and interesting feature OF the games
that they began promptly on time and were
carried through with military precision which was
totally different from the way in which the ma
jorty Of such affairs are managed. There was
nothing to suggest Improvement In the management
OF those who had charge Of the games and they
deserved all the credit which they received from the
much pleased spectators.
