n'NENNEY AND HOOKER WON

first annual athletic meeting for the
championship and a number of pretty
prizes, upon the grounds of the New
Jersey Athletic Club at Bergen Point.
The meeting as a first attempt was UNI
usually successful, and the young con-
t~esta1ts displayed an ability that was
an agreeable surprise to the Brothers OF
this institution and their friends as well.
Every event was carried out in good sea-
son under capable management, and
the rapidity with which the programme
was concluded was appreciated by those
present. The young c~ollegians had many
relatives present to ~encourage them and
a remarkable amount of interest was
displayed. The track was in good con-
dition. but during the afternoon the con-
tests were delayed by a shower. The
games were divided in two classes and
there were special prizes for juniors and
seniors. The racing in each competition
was lively and the boys performed with
a great deal of credit and their enthll-
siasm will continue with greater results
in the future. The competitors developed
a clever pair of champions in Charles
McNenney of the juniors and W. Hooker
of the seniors. Besides these there were
others who gave them a hard fight and
can be expected ito do even better in the
future contests. F. Higgins was "a very
lively second to the senior champion,
and the truggle between them was one
of the most interesting features. There
were three events limited to juniors and
the boys made "a good showing. The
work of McNenny left no chance for an
second place in the other event. He
displayed a great deal of speed and
good staying qualities. For the seniors
c. Proudford captured the honors in the
sprints. winning first pr.ze in the 100
and 220 yards runs, but his inability to
show up we'll in the distance races and
fed events, lost him the chanoe for the
champ.on's prize. In the sprints w.
Hooker, the champion, failed to get a
place; his first points were scored in the
40 yards run, in which he finished sec
ond. He ran to the front in the half
mile, and duplicated this success in the
one mile run. In the running broad
jump he was thirG, which gave him the
point by which. he defeated Higgins.
