Events.
The New Jersey Athletic Club carnival,
at the Bergen Point grounds, Saturday
afternoon. was a wonderfully interesting
event and retained the attention of a
crowd OF 5000 people from the commence
ment to the end of the programme.
Never has a more successful event been
held nor one conducted in this country
on a larger plan. There was no lack
of features and no important branch on
the calendar of sport was forgotten.
There was football, lacrosse, athletics,
held events. basket ball, bicycle racing
and baseball, and anyone failing to find
enough to satisfy him in this array Of
attractions will find very little pleasure in
sporting matters. The crowd arrived
early and stayed until the end. The
popularity of the New Jerseys was in
creased by the excellence of Saturdays
entertainment, and the fact that the in
Intercollegiate championships were in
progress at Manhattan Field and the Car
nival of Sports of the Letter Carriers
Association was under way in this city
uld not detraot in the least from the
number at Bergen Point, and if anything
the crowd was larger, than it has ever
been since the organization began the
arrangement of the holiday meetings.
attractions centered in the efforts Of
Tommy Conneff, Charles Fitzpatrick and
J. H. Mitchell to create new records at
their specialties, but all failed, and the
only performance that came anywhere
q q !. 81 VOC -, 49, lz1r -,
Charles Fitzpatrick, who got within three
seconds OF his best score. Connect was
in poor form and failed to do better than
432 2-5, while D. OsConnell of the Fourth
Regiment of this city beat him out from
the 100 yard mark in 4 minutes Is seconds
by fully 80 yards. Mitchell threw the
hammer sufficiently well to beat his op-
ponents, who were not in the same class
with him. In this contest Dave Edwards
of this city, who represented Princeton
University, won third honors. The bicycle
racing was the best, barring a number
of accidents, that has ever taken place
at the Point, and the riding of William
L.. Darmer of this city in the one-mile
race was the event of the day. He made
a brilliant squirt after being pocketed on
the last turn and snatched the victory
by a foot at the finish. The playing of
Stevens Institute in the lacrosse game
with the Crescent Athletic Club was a
great disappointment. They showed a
lack of vim, and the Brooklyn team won
easily. There were no delays in any part
of the programme, and the competency
OF the officials kept the sport moving.
