The twenty-ninth set OF games promoted by
the Seventh Regiment A. A. attracted AN almost
unwioldy crowd To the armory, Sixty-sevonth
street and Park avenue. last night.
Lieut.. Robert Mazet OF Company u. tho as
ISOLATION Treasurer, estimated the attendance
at $500. and pronounced IL u record
muster for spring games. He was one Of
the very few who viewed tho gathering

found 1t impossible to scrutihize calmly II spec
tacle OF such n brilliant and varied character.
The main floor outside Of the net, which
marked the limit OF the arena. the balconies.
aud even tho windows Of the quarters overlook
ing the scene were throngcd by enthusiastic
patrons OF the games, including many women.
The athletes appeared to gather Inspiration
from the surroundings. and they acquitted
themselves SO well that two records went 10y

In "a 4-5 seconds. beating not only the
record of 90 90 seconds made on II tcn-lap track

DO l-5 seconds made on an eight-lap track by Il.
A. Richard, Company /. on Nov. %, 1884.
The race, which came early on the pro-
gramme. stirred up onlookers to n high pitch Of
enthusiasm. George Schwegler. the national
and canadian ex-champion hurdler. cut out n
great pace from the start, and half way through
looked liko coming In alone.
