club have profted immensely through
these weekly meets and feel very much
encouraged at the evident success of the
project OF a weekly race meeting.
One OF the features of yesterday at the
park was the presence OF large num-
Der OF ladies. The boys look upon it as
good sign when the lovely and lovable
sex turn out. They race better on such
occasions. A good sized audience such
as turned out yesterday. plentitully
sprinkled with the gentler creatures,
puts gumption into the men.
The accident of the day happened in
the first race. President Kennedy was
among the starters, being, in fact, the
scratch man. He made a beautiful
quarter and looked like a winner, when
suddenly, without o seconds warning,
his wheel acted up, as it were, and the
able president OF the Athletic club
found himself In the air without visible
means of support.
In some unaccountable way he struck
out below tho knee because there is a
big bandage around that shin that
struck first.
