ardent supporters were out of town en-
jcying their summer vacations The
event was held Saturday at Bergen Point,
and 1t was probably ON account of this
that the games were so poorly attended

meeting was the greatest from an
athletic standpoint ever held at the New
Jersey Athletic Club ground, and put the
prominent events of this well known or
ganization in the back ground. II was a
genuine carnival OF athletcs with all the
shining lights that help to complete such
an event. Stars were on hand and their
performances added largely to the attrae-
tion. The presence OF Wefers, the
worlds champion sprtnter3 fitzpatrick, the
worlds champion middle distance runner;
Nipple. of This city. the scholastic cham
pion; Hjertberg and Beam, the distance
chalnpicns: Buck, Keane and Lyons, the
short distance stars, was assurance of
some lively sport, and in this there was
no let Up al any time. The fact that

increase the attendance to the extent ex-
NelfL eKpeGt2u, Una ElGF6 were JnUL more
than 700 people present altogether. The
association lost heavily by h venture,
but the reputation gained will be valuable
and the record naas on Saturday will
prove bene1cfal at future events. Wefers
was too heavily handicapped in the 100
yards and go yards, and the best he could
do was to land second in the latter event.
Fitzpatrick won the special half mile run
by a killing pace, with Nipple at his ell
bow all the way to the mark. Lyons
won the 40 in fast time from scratch,
and Buck captured the hurdle. Hjertberg
was beaten in both his events. Roome
