BERKELEY OVAL, May 26.-The af-
ternoon trains brought a steady stream
Of people here from the city, and a long
procession began to file up the steep
hill road leading from the Morris Dock
station to the pretty green-turfed in
closure at the top of the cliff.
At 2 o'clock there were about $500 peo-
pie on the field. The piazzas Of the
handsome clubhouse at the west end of
the Oval had been taken possession of
by a number of private parties. where
the ladies would be protected by the
ample awnings from a sudden shower.
Others. regardless of the threatening as
pect Of the weather, had seated them
selves upon the lawn along the little
bluff that extends around the west side
OF the track between the clubhouse and
the grand stand. The latter was fairly
well filled. but the open stands were de-
serted.
Bright bits Of color. here and there the
dark blue Of Yale, the crimson Of Har-
ward and the yellow and black of Prince
ton. were brought out wildly against
the dark-green background Of the trees
and lawn.
The prellminaries in the. running high
jump n broad jump were under way,
and this afforded some interest to the
spectators already on the ground while
waiting for the decisive contest to be-
gin.
The competitors In the various events
were out for pratice, limbering up their
joints. and Young men in gorgeously
colored blankets and gymnasium wrap
Pers trotted about the field to take the
kinks out OF their legs.
1t was still dismal and cloudy. with
now and then a brief interval OF sun
shine, as the clouds would part only to
come together again and make things
gloomier than ever.
1t was evident. however. that the black
cinder track was improving In condition
every minute.
ut ought to be in irst;class condition
for the later events" said big Jim Sui
Ivan. Of the New Jersey Athletic Club.
Inspector Conlin and Capt. Ryan had
a force OF about $50 policemen in and
about the grounds.
